Postmortal_Pop comments on Alphas.

As much as I love these quippy jokes at their expense, I feel that our reliance on humor allows for ambiguity. The only appropriate response to anyone saying they're an alpha male is, "that's really fucking stupid."

"Do you're the leader of a bunch of unrelated, stressed out, social predatory animals that have been removed from their natural environment and social groups and forced together for the entertainment of humans?"

Now that you put it that way, we kind of are unrelated, stressed out, social, predatory animals that have been removed from our natural environment.
Not sure about the rest of it & sexism doesn't fix any of this.

Not saying that it justifies anything, but it does explain things...

They don't respond to being called stupid.

Being called weird though. Taps forehead

There is a reason we stopped doing that. >!It was working!<
