    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.”

      They don’t respond to being called stupid.

      Being called weird though. Taps forehead

        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.
