Thanks for those pearls of wisdom…Thank you for the professional compliment. I was born yesterday…It does seem that way to me. A “beta male” is a sexed up word for sissy or pussy. Cuck, pansy, weak-sister are other another words used in the American idiom. I daresay you Aussies have your own. It’s used to demean and insult any male regardless of his sexuality or gender expression who does not fit the pop-cultural norm of how a western male should behave or even be, the so-called “alpha male,” and what is construed as feminine. All liberal males are viewed as betas, unless they are aggressive and then they are tagged as nuts. Joe Biden is the leading beta, though he gets called nuts too. Conversely, Trump’s popular appeal as an alpha is he is totally devoid of all “beta-feminine” traits. And when he does display weakness in public, which is understandable considering his age and the amount of stress he is under, it is urgently explained away by his constituents as something other than what it obviously is. Even so, the man is a physical bull and a force of nature. I’ll never deny his profound abilities in that regard. The greatest con man whoever lived. Joe will be forgotten soon enough, but his place in history is rock solid. He is definitely an alpha archetype. I hate we must bicker like this outside of V1, aka the Octagon, but you guys keep bring up the subject here. You are reading a lot of issues into this show that are not there. You’ve chosen to get upset about it. When I get overly irked at a TV show, Miss Pearl turns the channel. There is plenty of alpha guy stuff in Marvel. So one show that panders to a different demographic is so terrible? As a guy, I'm not offended by beta males. And I don't think they are polite code for pussies. For example, the men on Big Bang Theory and two of the men on Friends are an insult to masculinity. But the males in She Hulk just allow the females to do their thing. I believe there is a good reason at times to take a back seat to powerful, talented or capable females. And it can be done without being a sissy or coward. ***** The alpha vs beta males has nothing to do with relationships with females, it is guy on guy sexism. In prison sexuality, it’s the betas who service the alphas, rarely the other way around.
Do you think you take in second place to alpha males as the word implies? For the record, alpha and beta males is a cultural assumption, not biological.

Absolutely. I've never been to prison. But in the work world, if an alpha male is my boss, I either have to listen, or get another job. And in the "outside of work" real world, I often find that letting the alphas alpha, is easier than butting heads constantly. As long as they know where the line is. That is where I step up.

So one show that panders to a different demographic is so terrible? Classic overly long rant. Also your favorite subject included yet again..who knew..shocked..you should go out drinking with Sam Harris..im sure you would find lots to talk about They can do whatever they want with a show BUT I dont have to like it all. Im sure there are shows that you like where there were parts you werent a fan of right? Thanks for explaining beta male to me. Again I was born yesterday.. Preach on bizniz

Doing as told while on the job in return for some money should not require any bullying or domination, man. If you are experiencing this, then swap jobs.

This is getting me excited to catch up on my She-Hulk episode backlog.
Although, I much prefer the red suit, I think the new costume looks excellent. I like that their leaning into the character's more acrobatic fighting style without it being too derivative of Spider-Man.

Is he less of man because he does not want to be a leader or is successful? If we have two male genders now, then what’s the big about deal transgenderism.

I don't feel like any less of a man because I'm a beta. Just like some people are artists. And some are accountants. Everybody is different. Everybody can't be an Indian Chief. You need engines too. Some people are good leaders. Some people are good followers. One is no better than the other. They're just different.

Neither Daredevil, nor Frog Man, nor SQUIRREL GIRL can save this show. Honestly…as much as I’d want to see him…Daredevil doesn’t fit this show tonally at all. I’d much rather see Frog Man or Squirrel Girl.

Honestly it was a bit lame lol. You had both DD and She-Hulk against that guy?? I know they are saving the fireworks for the finale but the episodes are short. They could have easily made it a 2-parter DD was great though. Stole the show. Bring back the classic red! That walk of shame though bahaha..I wish they didnt say the words..it's like we get it..

Or insulting to anybody, including other men. All I said was abuse is not part of the definition of an Alpha Male.

Out of all the episodes this is the one o enjoyed the most.
It's not a perfect episode and it didn't save this series. But at least I was able to sit down and enjoy it. Wish I could say that for the other episodes.
