Animal behavior

What incels and red pillers want is the magic key that simplifies their problems and reveals what they have been missing their whole lives.

Biological essentialism is nice for that because it gives a sweeping one-size-fits-all solution that is (supposedly) baked into the very DNA of humanity.

If they can look at animals and say "animals tend to mate with the largest and boldest of the pack therefore the same can be said for humans" it removes all of the annoying nuance involved.

Even if that is true to a degree in the animal kingdom, such generalizations ignore the exceptions. Gorillas, for example, often have one giant ape who lays claim to all the female apes. But the female apes sometimes don't really want him and will sneak off with other smaller males. Red pillers see this and use it as evidence that women cheat, but I see it more like an ape trying to escape an animalistic patriarchal system where she has little choice in who she mates with.

Nearly all of these animals that display "alpha male" behavioral groups have exceptions where the females sneak off with non-alpha males.

There are also plenty of species (bonobos) that engage in rampant indiscriminate sex and have no supreme alpha male that mates with all the women. Bonobos even engage in homosexuality for social reasons and just for fun.

Point being in all of this: animals all have widely varying social mating habits even animals very closely related to us chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos all have very different sexual social dynamics so you can't really look at the sexual behavior of animals and say "that's how humans are deep down"

The red pill is FULL of bad science. Witness the obsession over height, specific facial features, hypergamy, etc.

Here is the logic: "The term alpha male exists, which is absolute proof that my bootcamp will turn you into an alpha male for a few thousand dollars".

Manosphere, incels, redpill, etc grasp to any straw they find

Also who cares what wild animals do?

The same reason they took religion out of context when it worked to get their way

I've heard red pill content being described as astrology for men.

It doesn't need to be scientific, it's just a good story to base your ideals on.
