The whole idea of Alphas, Betas etc is stupid. It doesn't exist. It doesn't even exist for wolves! It's just nonsense.

I can't believe straight cis men are so brainwashed by patriarchy that they voluntary believe in false hierarchies.

Tell your local budding incel: Wolf packs do NOT have alphas. The entire idea came from scientists who imposed their own ideas of toxic masculinity on animal behavior. All animal communities are inherently cooperative.

If men want to learn the lessons of wolf packs, they should learn the real lessons: Cooperation, tending to the weak and small, showing help and being of service to others.

How many men reading this are so brainwashed by the lifelong propaganda of toxic masculinity that instead of changing their "alpha" ideas because wolves are not like that --- will just look for another kind of animal pack that has alphas? NONE DO. ALL communities are cooperative.
While we're here: Human communities are not like animal communities anyway.

We have the power to reason, the ability to behave morally, opposable thumbs, and advanced civilizations. You don't need animal examples for your behavior. You can just...be human.
I reported on Wall Street for my entire career and here's some perspective: However rich and privileged, those guys are not alphas either. They are HEAVILY dependent on network support within the workplace (fellow bros, various social allies) and at home.
The realnprinciple of animal and human behavior is this: If you cut yourself off from the pack, you will have trouble finding resources. This is why rejection hurts: It activates our ancient fear of being cut from support. For straight men, this means emotional resources too.
Since men are so attached to this idea that they are (predictably) arguing in the replies, here is the science. Please do some reading.

Specifically, please note that wolves do not maintain any kind of permanent social status within the pack.

When wolves choose a mate and breed, they become an alpha couple (alpha male and alpha female) and the subordinates are their *children*, not other adult wolves.
Frans de Waal, the scientist who originated the concept of "alpha males," debunked it and noted that it does not exist. Any so-called "alphas" are dependent upon, and serve, the community they're in.

That concludes today's Men Are Wrong feature, stay tuned for tomorrow's, because men are wrong every damn day.
Great responses from @MyzLilith in the replies, please do read them. (Read up from the bottom)

முதல்வரி: பிறவி என்பது முன்வினை விதையால் முளைப்பதோர் பெருமரம். அந்த ‘முன்வினை’ எங்கு ஆரம்பித்தது எனச் சொல்ல இயலாது. ஆனால் ‘அறியாமை’ ஒன்றே ஆசைக்கும்,, அச்சத்துக்கும் காரணம் என்பதால், அவையே வினைகளை விளைவிப்பன என்பதால், தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிறவிகளுக்கு, ‘அறியாமையே’ காரணம்

அறியாமைக்கு ஆரம்பம் கிடையாது. நமக்கு ஒரு பொருளைப் பற்றிய அறிவு எப்போதிருந்து இல்லை? அதைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. அதனாலேதான் முதலடியில், ஆரம்பமில்லாத அஞ்ஞானத்தை பிறவிகளுக்குக் காரணமாகச் சொல்லியது. ஆனால் அறியாமை, அறிவின் எழுச்சியால், அப்போதே முடிந்து விடும்.

Russia hasn't been a willing partner in this treaty for almost 3 decades. We should have ended the pretense long ago.

Naturally, Rand Paul is telling anyone who will listen to him that Trump is making a HUGE MISTAKE here.


Rand is just like his dad, Ron. 100% isolationist.

They've never grasped that 100% isolationist is not 'America First' when you examine it. It really means 'America Alone'.

The consistent grousing of pursuing military alliances with allies - like Trump is doing now with Saudi Arabia.

So of course Rand has also spent the last 2 days loudly calling for Trump to kill the arms deal with Saudi Arabia and end our alliance with them.

What Obama was engineering with his foreign policy was de facto isolationism: pull all the troops out of the ME, abandon the region to Iranian control as a client state of Russia.

Obama wasn't building an alliance with Iran; he was facilitating abandoning the ME to Iran.

Obama wouldn't even leave behind a token security force, so of course what happened was the rise of ISIS. He also pumped billions of dollars into the Iranian coffers, which the Mullah's used to fund destabilizing activity [wars/terrorism] & criminal enterprises all over the globe
