In 1958 a researcher studied Wolf. He observed that some get all the female and food. He named those Alpha, and the others Beta.

Some people started to use the wolf system and decided human work the same: There must be Alpha male and Beta male. There are 2 problem with that: 1- Obviously Human are not wolves 2- the study was on wolf in captivity. In nature it was later observed that there are no Alpha nor Beta: every wolf get same share of the resources

But the narrative that human are like wolf , still appeal to some male trying to justify their toxic behavior like it was some rule of nature. Forgetting, that if their is one thing that human do compared to other animal, is to control, manage and overcome every “rule” of nature. Else we wont be even able to use fire.

Nitpicking, but not every rule of nature. I still need to pee :(
Hopefully you dont do it on the spot when the need arise ;)
He’s just an alpha marking his territory.
