Then I guess men don’t date anymore, lol

We need to use another word besides Alpha. The division that the word “alpha” is associated with is the division between men who are desired by women and men who are not. If you’re using the controversial word “alpha” that is what you are talking about. It’s like classifying the rich vs the poor. Lemmy users don’t want to accept this but most heterosexual men want to be the former in either case, no one wants to be the latter.

Too bad the term “Alpha” males has gotten such a bad rap from cretins like Andrew Tate.

The term “Alpha male” refers to men with a mix of being tall, very good looks, charisma, authority, and social popularity. I think we can all agree that men with a high level of those traits are very popular with heterosexual, or have we fallen so far that most people don’t see that?

To put it more simply, all the men on Lemmy combined will not have as many women lusting for them as Jason Momoa or one of those Kpop dudes. Don’t call it Alpha Male if you want, because the term has been tarnished by hucketers. But we all know the type of man that has zero trouble attracting women.

When all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail.

Calling it toxic masculinity implies that none of this would be happening if patriarchy didn’t exist. That is horribly wrong.

It’s toxic humanity.

There is a problem here that your post is making obvious, but no one is seeing. Every form of discrimination against men is being described by feminists as “patriarchy.” It seems when all you have is a hammer, everything in front of you becomes a nail. The giant blowback feminism is getting is because of this one-word-fits-all aspect of their ideology. In this case, the dangerously deluded idea that if you just get rid of Patriarchy, male disposability will just go away and so will discrimination against men.

It won’t, because the common denominator is humans.

This is why you never hear feminists talk about the actual things that drive women to attack men without provocation. If they can’t pin it on the Patriarchy they don’t want to discuss it. Literally this excuses women from being held responsible for their actions… because when a woman does something like that, it’s just her, but when a man does it, it’s reflective of a bigger problem, aka “men as a class”. Women don’t have bigger influences that make them think they can get away with stuff unless you can blame it on the Patriarchy and not the simple fact that women can be just as evil as men and in fact can circle their wagons around an offender just like the Patriarchy can for miscreant men. Just look at how Sharon Osbourne and an entire crowd of women circled their wagons around Catherine Kieu. I can provide the video if you want. But that never matters to feminists - the idea that women have their own framework outside of “Patriarchy” by which they treat each other and men wrong is heresy to them. Patriarchy as the cause of all gender wrongs is as myopic as it is popular.

Yet it’s hard to even discuss this because talking about it draws the equally fascist elements of the men’s rights movement. And so myopia becomes the new 20/20.

They have children doing tobacco farming. Tobacco. Farming. 'nuff said right there. This country is trash.

Wow, I just rando browse this site and came upon this. Ten minutes later I am seeing a REMARKABLE improvement in my internet performance. Thank you!

Slave racket? That’s a severe overexaggeration. Can we please not use such loaded and extremist words for the issue of male DV victims?

Rarely do I ever hear such sage wisdom, well said!

That’s kind of a hyperbole, there are resources and advocates for men in Canada.

Thank you for that balanced take on this issue.

Lesbian partner violence stats are also shocking. It’s as if everyone can be an abuser.
