      I agree with the stuff saying the whole alpha/beta stuff in wolves is incorrect and unnuanced but I sort of agree with the concept of a sigma male out of my own selfishness and recognition of its characteristics in myself. Like, I think it gets painted as more masculine stereotyped than it is but I also disagree with the modern understanding or portrayl of masculinity. I think its a bit autism-coded in a way

        Why are American men so concerned about their masculinity? From the outside it doesn’t look like they have anything to worry about.

      First time I ever heard of sigma males. I wonder if there are also pi males. (Math joke).
