From what you say everyone can be corrupted, therefore it's not about figthing a gender war cause there is no gender. The batle is between good and evil wchich have no form . It's the symbols that defy us. The archetype of the hero, fighting for justice and good is the pefrect form of humanity. So I say that I will not submit to your "alpha male" bullshit and be your omega. I may stop being a man with that, but at least I'll remain human.

@m2reily

Remarkable! Precisely the reaction I had hoped to inspire!!

[puddum]

Wow, I never realized how scared men are of women......I mean, you guys buy this stuff? Seriously?

[TheHappyMisogynist]

@puddum

Actually, what you should realize is how fucked up things are getting for men. It is not about fear, except to the extent that you are afraid to look at the truth.

[puddum]

@TheHappyMisogynist things are fucked up for everybody these days, and honestly yall just sound kinda whiny to me......maybe you just meet nasty bitches, broaden your horizons a bit and stop complaining

[TheHappyMisogynist]

@puddum

OK, you say things are fucked up for everybody. That includes men. And now you say if we talk about it and try to find solutions that we are being whiney.

Hint: Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. And quit coming here to whine about men who are actually interested in their own lives. Go back to what you do best, but try not to wear out those knee pads too fast.

it's rather terrifying (and yet reassuring) that I was born about 10 years before the adhd craze and the pill generation. I feel like one of the last "free range" men to have grown up in this society, and things were STILL fucked up back then.

fuck... estrogen (why is that extra e?) too much testosterone causes misstyyppinng

[DiBacci]

estrogene

[DiBacci]

world leaders, including dictators are anything but alpha males... maybe they even have more estrogene than testosterone. someone who's thinking with his dick will never make it to the top. it takes a cool head.

@GoodScienceForYou I get it now. You're a troll. Hello goodbye.

[GoodScienceForYou]

@prschuster So, does that make you a wussy?

[prschuster]

Actually, a great alpha male leader would be somebody like Ghengis Khan or Attila the Hun. Most leaders in modern society are older men who excelled in debate in college, rather than the athletic field. Alpha males are more like drill sargeants, street gang leaders or convicts in prison. They are of relatively low status in today's society. The top men in gov't & business today are usually omega males who posture as alpha males while they let the real alpha males do the enforcing.

[prschuster]

@puddum Yes, they really do take this stuff seriously. I just voted you up - not that it will help you much.

Third, final criticism: the part about blood-shedding and spoils of war (3:45). This kind of "fact" cannot even exist unless one first categorizes all military men as either Alpha/ Beta/ Omega -- which is impossible, as the concise definitions don't even exist. So you just made an ASSUMPTION. Of course once you do, your conclusions neatly fit -- like magic! Problem is, that's what's called CIRCULAR REASONING. These archetypes are not neat, rigid, watertight compartments like you describe.
