Yes. Collective ego structures are not hidden. Race, gender, politics, team sports... Just about every 'group' serves a form of collective ego. Examples such as: 'women's' rights; we 'men' must be strong; we 'blacks' must unite, 'our' country, and 'our' team. Just about everyone, is at most times, unconsciously participating in a 'herd mentality' via a collective ego structure.

ETA: I, as a male who stays home and tends to the household while my wife wins the bread, have taken an obvious step outside of the 'herd' of men, and indeed much of society's mentality that regards men as the primary breadwinners.
