This was a decent article with a lot of good points.

The whole alpha thing has been a constant burr in my saddle because I've worked with wolves some and the ideologynis NOT natural wolf behavior.

It's what happens to wolves when they become stressed in to close quarters of captivity. It's an 'abused prisoner' phenomenon, in other words.

Why men think that's an ideal way to model themselves as human beings is beyond the pale. It should be obvious you will lose your humanity if you do. And Wow! Look at that! What are we observing?

But anyway. You said something about it in a way that made me think very strongly about the biblical dynamic between Rachel and Leah. Caused by both Laban and Jacob.

And how it led to the destruction of the tribe and the enslavement of the Hebrews to Egypt.

Tread carefully gentlemen. As any woman who has suffered mental degradation from the bombardments on our self esteem from the beauty industry can tell you, you're on thin ice here. Super thin ice. This isn't not something you want to congratulate yourselves or stroke your egos about being natural risk takers on. Once you fall through, it is VERY hard to get yourself out of danger.
