It's weird to me when men use the alpha/beta stuff as a critique of women's expectations, since it's primarily men who are the ones with the "lol soy pussy, just man up bitch, be an alpha" attitude towards struggling men. Whenever women say they'd support a man feeling vulnerable or sensitive, men always believe it's some trick or mind game to make them humiliate themselves, like they don't see anyone's view but their own which is that being anything except "on top" means they failed as a man. Men are very "fuck you I got mine" about masculinity, where they'll complain how unfair it is how this and that is perceived in a certain light, but if social expectations change and they don't feel gatekept anymore, they obnoxiously gatekeep other guys with zero empathy even though they first-hand know how shitty and isolating it feels. Men tend to be a lot more animalistic, selfish and brutal in how they view the world than women, which is why they make fun of women for "wanting everyone to hold hands and sing kumbaya" whenever women feel uncomfortable over cruelty and unfairness. Men don't want to make things better for anyone including themselves. They act like they hate these things, but if "weak" or "inferior" people (women and "simp/soy/beta" males) also hate those things, men start justifying it as the way things are supposed to be. It opens your eyes as a pickme when you listen to men's complaints and advocate for them, just for them to turn around and say you're a pussy and life is supposed to be cruel. Like how they'll argue the draft is misandrist oppression of men, but if a woman criticises it too, then men change their tune and decide they love war and war is based and gives males purpose, look at this epic sigma edit of combat footage, typical women being too soft, sensitive, fragile and emotional to handle the harsh realities of life. But also women are naturally born sadistically evil and incapable of feeling love.
