I've always wondered why society treats beta men like utter shit, despite them being the most valuable people to help society function properly.

Women certainly don't help society function - they spend the majority of the wealth, while creating very little of it themselves. They take beta men for granted (basically just using them for their resources while giving them starfish sex once a month), they fuck the top 10-20% of males while having zero attraction for all other men, and are just generally leeches on the system.

Some alpha men are useful for being leaders, starting businesses etc. but many alphas actually turn to things like crime, corruption, breeding with multiple women and not raising the kids etc. Many of the groundbreaking inventions over time have actually been created by betas, not alphas.

Ultimately it's the betas who keep society in order and functioning in a proper way, creating the majority of the wealth and being the crucial cogs in the wheel. Yet they get taken for granted and basically shit on at every possible opportunity. Why does society treat them like this?
