....and TIL as a man I have the Rape Gene. (Cringe warning)

But don't feminists hate beta males because they feel like they're entitled to sex because they're so nice?

Wouldn't an alpha male still be more inclined to propagate the species? Serious question.

. . . Rape gene?

Um did they read the article? It seems like the study found the fitness costs to rape greatly outweighed the advantages.

Oh you see they got around that by saying "at least one biologist argues...", both manipulating the reader with authority and ambiguity.

He's more highly evolved

Protip: If anyone tries to make this claim as a literal statement, chances are they don't understand evolution.

** Whatever strategies those alpha males did to successfully reproduce, are, by definition, dominance strategies.**

The following are all dominance strategies: height, intelligence, humor, athletic prowess, health, kindness, creativity, wealth, status, violence, deception, honesty, and more.

Emphasis mine. Sigh.

He plays well with others.

Looking only at asshole alphas to demonstrate betas are better at cooperation is selection bias.

He’s more likely to be creative, artsy and funny.

I think they mean "creative, artsy, funny" guys are more likely to be beta, but that's not the same thing.

He’s capable of emotional connection (assuming he isn’t caught up pretending to be an alpha who is incapable of emotional connection

That's adorable. All alphas are sociopaths apparently.

He’s nurturing and caring.

They...they linked to a red pill school blog about it being beta to play nurse. What kind of source is that for anything?

He wants to be a dad, and he’ll be good at it.

I think that's just conservatives being more likely to have children. The fact there are more betas among conservatives doesn't prove it's due to being a beta.

He’s far more likely to marry and stay married.

See above.

Alpha males are stressed out

"Even giving advice is geared toward lowering the others' self-esteem

Oh look. Another person who fails to understand the male social dynamic of testing one's resolve and bonding over adversity.

He’s not a sociopathic narcissist.

Not only is the description that follows not describing sociopathy, but saying "if you want to be the center of attention you must do X" isn't inherently not narcissistic because you do something for others.

By way of putting my money where my mouth is, I can happily report that this September I’ll celebrate anniversary #28 with Mr. HUS, who fits this description to a T.

There's that selection bias again.

This entire article is an exercise of grasping at buzz words in the dark with little to no understanding about what they mean or what can be concluded from them. Ugh.
