Do you think that men and alpha male lifestyle is under attack by radicals?

[Nakura Chambers]

I used to think that "men's rights" was pretty silly, but to be fair, I also think modern feminism is silly too. These past few months I have come to notice that men's rights and male culture in general seems to come under attack constantly from radical feminists. It doesn't really bother me that some women don't want car doors open for them and stuff like that, but it does bother me when I see alpha male lifestyle being attacked.

A prime example of alpha male lifestyle being attacked by radical feminists is the gradual move by these groups to ban cigars and firearms. Another example is that the term "gamer" (which can apply to both genders) is being given a bad name. Not only that, but anyone who dares stand up for our allies (Israel and Ukraine) is immediately called a "chauvinist pig." Strength and fairness seem to be viewed as weaknesses by these people.

Oh no, you again. I think what you are saying is completely random and makes no sense at all.

Meanwhile, beta males like President Obama are hailed as heroes for practicing the politics of appeasement. Strength and fairness seem to be viewed as weaknesses by these people.

I believe you have a strange view of how "Beta" and "Alpha" social constructs work, if a bloke is in charge of the most powerful nation on earth he's probably more of an alpha...

Also, tobacco and fire-arms are health and safety issues, Ukraine and Israel are political; none of those issues are gender related and anyone calling you a chauvinist for expressing opinions on them is likely confused.

Just so we all know where OP stands...

As an alpha, there is no way I can agree. The world is my oyster...

[Tyrgannus]

Even if your original hypothesis had merit, I doubt you'll find anyone that can follow your train of thought. I tried valiantly, but couldn't find either the station nor the tracks

Our current president is a beta male who is weak both at home and abroad. The whole reason Putin is doing any of this is because he knows Obama is weak and won't do anything.

There is a lot of slave morality going around, so ya wealth and strength are seen as bad.

As far as strength specifically, there are some sports that are arguably under attack. Sports that typically involve alpha male types, such as football. I don't just mean the NFL, a lot of schools are seeing football as too harsh for modern society.

Being a dick might be "under attack" but not being an alpha male. Just because you're a take charge kind of guy doesn't mean that you have to a) look down on those who aren't as some kind of inferior personality type or b) behave like a psychopath in general.

[Shadowmelded]

That's an awful lot of nonsensical whining for a supposed "Alpha"

"Alpha" denotes a position in a hierarchy, President of the U.S. scores quite highly in that regard. The situation with Putin goes beyond grunting and posing to see who gets first dibs on the available lady parts and ties in with economic, military and political matters.

Nobody in this thread is referring to animal sociology, but alpha and beta male roles from a cultural perspective.

[Sam the Wiser]

Yes it's slightly true, however MMO-C is beta max so expect them to tell you no and be subservient.

Ah, now I understand you reasoning. Beta = reasonable, alpha = penis comparison.

Leader of the most powerful nation on the planet would be considered an "alpha" position from a cultural perspective.

[Felya]

Doesn't bitching about your state of being, automatically remove you from being an alpha? Can you imagine an alpha male whining about feminists?

[Sledfang]

Of course Obama is more beta male than alpha male. That is how he wants it though. He wouldn't of been elected if he was an alpha male type.

Not really, since it doesn't take into account the office holder's personality.
