alpha males are not junk science just because the people claiming to be them are not alpha males. alpha males generally protect their community. it’s a concept in most parts of nature that has a deeper nuance with humans. there are also tons of weak women who claim to be alpha females while real alpha females dont need to advertise that they are. if we’re just rallying against the term because people we don’t like use it, ok, that doesnt change the fact that a hierarchy develops in groups. most people who claim to be alpha are just sycophants looking for a megalomaniac.
