My favorite part of "alpha/beta male" nonsense is the "sigma male" angle just blowing it all wide open. It's entirely just a bunch of insecure and awkward chauvinists trying to rationalize a set of "rules for manliness" and then plowing headfirst into how they aren't emotionally capable of being so assertive or are tangibly repulsive to everyone when they try so they had to extend the mythology to pretend that reclusive introverts can be cool too.

Alpha wolves don't actually exist. The scientist that made the wrong assumption fixed his error, but by that point it was too late.

What always got to me about it was like. It's portrayed as both separate from and the top of the socio-sexual hierarchy. It's like people wanted the idea of transcending it... But also still wanted to be on the top of it.

They just can't leave it behind.
