The """alpha male's""" masculinity is so fragile, they threw a conniption when seeing a picture of a fit woman.

I have a personal hypothesis that self-proclaimed alpha [males] may feel the same gender dysphoria that trans folk do, only it is the sensation that they present less masculine than they actually do, so in their effort to attaining a little bit of machismo they go way overboard.

It's similar I think to the way Donald Trump can be President of the United States, and still feel fragile and unworthy.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol, so if I'm hearing you right, people who yap endlessly about "being alpha" are "beta to alpha trans"?

[–] BellyPurpledGerbil@sh.itjust.works 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (12 children)

I do think there is some element of gender disillusionment if not dysphoria in very insecure men. I don't think calling them some stage of trans has the right implications though. They are men that want to stay men. But their internal views of men are constantly challenged by their culture and environment.

Nothing says women can't have muscular bodies or else they must be men or being a woman wrong in some way. But that dissonance obviously irritates the type of guy that unironically wants to be an alpha gigachad. So they impose their own standards on others, unknowingly outing their insecurities.

If I'm being really honest though even if I thought all of that was likely, it's way more likely that people on the Internet just love to start flame wars about anything if they're bored enough. Especially when the target is a woman.

That's toxic masculinity in a nutshell. See also the author of The Game describing sex in the most mechanical terms - coming reeeal close to acknowledging he does not actually desire women sexually, he's just conditioned to see them as a goal.

What part of this great picture got them scared?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 72 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I thought it was a little unsettling that their legs appear to be on backwards.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 46 points 5 months ago (18 children)

I guess, because its very hard for biological women to get abs like that. The muscles are just different. Not impossible, but way, way harder then for men and therefore quite rare.

And we all know, its very scary for bigots to even look at trans people. They might have to wash their eyes with soap now.

[–] SorryforSmelling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 5 months ago (5 children)

just wanna add that it is easier to get them with testosterone. i think it makes sense to make that distinction here since there are literal cis women body builder who take it as performance enhancing drugs.

I think it's less that the muscles are different, and more about body fat percentage and maybe distribution. You could have the strongest core in the world, but if there's a layer of fat on top of your abs, they won't have this visible definition.

Also... Really rare to have boobs that big AND such low body fat, but all sorts of women get implants.

If the West falling means we get more fit women with abs, good. Let it all crash down.

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't find abs in women attractive. But if women want to have them, and others want to admire them, who am I to stop them?

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

If more people had this attitude towards harmless things that don't suit their tastes we'd live in a far less hostile world. Thanks for being a decent person!

Why do podcasters hate attractive women

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 34 points 5 months ago

Because the woman makes an effort to take care of herself and it makes them feel shitty about being lazy.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 30 points 5 months ago

Some guys feel emasculated when they can't make a beautiful woman like them. So the only way they can feel like they've taken some power back is to belittle and talk down beautiful women.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

because they won't touch their peepee

[–] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Because they can choose whose peepee, if any, that they want to touch. And yes, they choose not to touch said podcaster.

the west IS indeed falling, just not for the reasons the chud podcaster types think it is.

the irony of it is that its probably more to do with the aforementioned podcasters than with [shuffles cards] women who go to the gym.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 27 points 5 months ago

Women who go to the gym will save us from the system collapse with their mommy muscles 😤

What is so crazy is that a lot of these folks look up to Sparta because of its dedication to physical conditioning. But of the people that traveled to Sparta we know that they wrote of watching the women of Sparta exercise because they were known to be strong, fast, and beautiful because of their exercise and physical conditioning was expected of them even as slave owning elites.

This person should be lauded for their dedication to conditioning and feared for their ability to Kegel a steel girder asunder. And they probably don't even own one slave outright so it is even that more amazing.

I miss being fit. Muscle mommies are underrated. All the endorphins. First thing I'm going to do off a grad student salary is get a personal trainer. Fitness makes me feel normal and happy. I lost my six pack here, foo.
