YSK that scientifically and zoologically, there's no such thing as alpha males, and a human "alpha male" personality is a transgender identity/gender performance

  I consider men who call themselves alphas as software versions; not worth it yet to bring out as stable programs

    I have never met anyone who calls themself an “alpha”. If I ever do, I’ll consider them to be both a dumb cunt, and a scared little pussy ass bitch.

      I’ve worked with one, and the stereotypes are accurate. Dude was a walking disaster area that I’m 99.99999999% sure relied on date rape to get laid.

  YSK plenty of cis men call themselves Alphas. I’ve never even associated the stereotype with trans people??

    those cis men are declaring their new gender identity.

    as is their right.

  Is it a gender performance or is it just someone who hasn’t accepted that they are a furry.

    They had two wolves inside of them and the experience left them feeling weirdly aroused and it scared them a little.

    some humans declare a new gender identity for themselves: “alpha”, and perform their new gender identity.

    “alpha males” are transgender.

  Everything toxic masculinity related is performative and reflects how sad and scared that person truly is on the inside.

  I get that you’re trying to redefine a term to something less toxic, but this doesn’t seem to fit YSK in my opinion.

    It is explicitly against the rules, yes. In another community, I’d be all for this.

    If you’re essentially trying to coin an idea, it isn’t a YSK, it’s just an unfounded opinion.

  I’m all for sticking it to the chuddy guys who call themselves ‘alpha’ and behave accordingly. But there’s a bit more to it than “alpha wolves doesn’t real”.

  The scientists who observed the ‘alpha wolf’ behavior were seeing something: wolves in captivity. Which is something that has an analogous human experience in prison.

  But since there are an awful lot of these ‘alpha guys’ who have (somehow) never caught a charge, much less spent a stint in prison, maybe it says something about how, maybe, they feel imprisoned on the outside. Like maybe their school, work, home, or social life feels penned in in a way that is not healthy.
