so do you refuse to treat language as anything other than prescriptive, or are you just so much of a sperglord that you don't understand that it's possible for language to be anything but prescriptive

No.

Where is the formal academic response to these quack theories propagated by weird creeps on the Internet? Obviously the Cathedral fears the truth.

The response is gender studies, women's studies and queer studies. The bulk of knowledge in those disciplines supports meta males and fully disproves any possibility of an inherent hierarchy outside of societal constrains.

But did they specifically address BronanTheBarbarian's blog post about white knights? No. Because they fear the truth.

Make no mistake, students attending those courses often bring things like that for critical analysis. Some blog posts even inspire theses. It's just that posters of those blogs are on the outside of academic discourse and as such often fail to find refutations to their half-baked theories.

Honestly being an alpha male isn't nearly as great as you think it would be. Sure, the sex with random hot women multiple times a week is great, at first. After a while it gets kind of tiring and sometimes I'd really like take a break and work on something relaxing like leveling up a WoW character.

I have a younger, chubby second cousin from missouri who describes everything he sees others doing or anything he does as alpha or beta actions. He also owns a poo poo ton of guns, is really fascinated by the columbine school shooting and equates not owning a gun to not wearing a seat belt. Plus thinks weed and drinking is for losers.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
It's just a figure of speech. Don't take it so literally.

No, because no one really is. But being a meta male makes a person more like a god in that it unleashes creative and non-aggressive expression, if that's what you wanted to ask.

omega ^


Just kidding! but not really

FYI, all these labels come from wolf pack social order, don't they? I think also chimps. So they're real in that sense. Including 'omega'. Every pack has an omega, its job seems to be to provide the betas someone to bully so they can feel better about themselves. Makes ya think.

Even if it were true (which it isn't) I chose to deny it and ascended to being a meta male. You know what else is natural? Rape. But meta males don't rape anyone, because rape is only possible in a system that perpetuates power hierarchies. What more obvious proof do you need?
