The Myth of the Alpha Male
The Myth of the Alpha Male
There’s no such thing as an “alpha male.” It’s a false myth with no bases in biology or science. That fact, however, hasn’t stopped the pseudoscience behind a natural dominance hierarchy among men from spreading like a virus through our media culture
This is from Pop Culture Detective, so it's written from the perspective of how this false theory pervades narratives throughout television and film. Its surprisingly common, unfortunately.
