Just saw the craziest, creepiest alt-right take on Trump's "grab them" comments.

It was a couple creeps on a right-wing youtube channel that I'm not going to link to. The argument was this.

The only people bothered by Trump's comments are going to be "beta males." Because when an alpha like Trump gropes a woman, that's not actually sexual assault because women like that. One of the guys predicted that Trump's poll numbers with women wouldn't be affected (I hope he's revisited that prediction), because women "get" alpha males and their role in society. But beta males are going to be upset, because they can't assault women and get away with it, so they're jealous and that's why so many men were speaking out against Trump's comments.

BTW, not to be superficial, but has anyone else noticed that the people who spend the most time talking about being an "alpha male" are below-average-looking middle-aged dudes? It's not like you see Brad Pitt and George Clooney theorizing about what it takes to be an "alpha".


On edit, I just told a friend about this, his response was "I'm betting a woman did not come up with this theory". LOL.

1. They have left one group out of the equation: Alpha females.

And with the support of one another and stories about creeps like these, more and more women are blossoming into alphas every minute.

These are deeply insecure and fragile men. They are always the ones who pose the most threat to women.

they're obsessed with this alpha/beta and cuck bullshit. it's all they talk about. my guess is they are projecting their own insecurities and *ahem* "short comings" if you know what i mean the same way their psycho leader trump does.

the alt-right = the real beta males that aren't able to get smart and attractive women to mate with them.

It's not like men are picking up this abusive shit in ANY sort of a vacuum. We've all seen this crap before.

On a few different comment sections. I guess that's the new talking point issued.

Ever notice how most men trying to be alpha or talking about it mostly just seem sad and insecure? If they were actually manly, they would never need to say so. I'll let the Geto Boys explain it in verse:

If he gets out of his pajamas and comes out of mom's basement long enough, he'll find that they don't.
