Trump's Alpha Males

Great article here about the "Alpha Male."

Where did all this straight guy trauma over their mascinity come from?

Anyone who has to prove they are "alpha" is an insecure little pussy.

These are the same guys who are scared of big cities. Pussies

R1 - they just want to justify being assholes.

Alpha male in a pack is just the parent/father typically - but they've misconstrued this entirely.

Virginia Wolf was writing about the male anger back in the day already, so it's been around for some time. The new development is that they've turned that aspect into an identity unto itself and are now running the country.

A man who is a pathological liar, a convicted felon, a sexual pest, a noted germaphobe, hates dogs, take 3 hours to do his hair and makeup every morning before he can go out in public, a guy who was born on third base and thinks he hit a home run is not a good role model to anyone or anything.

It's all just so much bullshit, and so representative of what we are as nation.

Is it possible Trump has slept with men?

Look up those “alpha male boot camps” where grown men pay thousands of dollars to LARP marine boot camp run by fake drill sergeants for a week. And at times they do the most homoerotic shit alive. It’s all a scam. Toxic masculinity and beta insecurity are result of patriarchy. If these men could grow more emotional intelligence, the world would be a better place.

It depends: define men.

Trump wouldn't put himself through the comparison humiliation, r6.

There was a self-described über alpha male on Twitter back a couple of years ago, and I have never seen a more thin-skinned man in my whole life, because anytime would second guess his "über alpha masculinity" he was whining and crying all the way to his mama's home that he was indeed what he pretended. And I kid you not, this man wasn't Donald Trump like y'all were already thinking. .

Written by DL favorite Adam Kinzinger, no less.

R7 - there have always been groups like this - Promise keepers was a Christian group for men.

Just a bunch of fat middle-aged men living in boring small towns and suburbs who hate the direction their life is going.

It's funny how almost every "man's movement" is just a racist, homophobic, misogynistic diatribe to make them feel better about themselves. Over and over.

Well said, R5. Thank you.

How do you explain all the women who voted for him? These types of articles are out of touch and yet another reason the Left has a men problem, as well as a female problem, and black and Latino problem. They sum everything up in simpleton terms and don’t understand that it’s much more than that. It’s completely condescending.

^ A lot of MAGA women buy into this patriarchal Alpha BS too. Large Marge Traitor Trash Greene fits this bill. I can spot these women a mile away-long bleached blonde hair in a ball cap (often a Trump hat).

Wrong, r15.

by Anonymousreply 16July 10, 2025 7:19 PM

How so, Hortense R16?
