I'd like to amend this statement.Ultimately it was a distasteful situation.







One more interesting thought. Think of the double standard at play here. If a comedian (man or woman) made a joke about a balding man, no one would even bat an eyelash. No one would be offended and no violence would be instigated.
[background, Will and his wife have an "open marriage", but from past interviews, it seems like something pushed by her and he appears less than happy with the arrangement]
Whether Dwayne Johnson would be unpleasant enough to make a joke demeaning someone suffering from a disease (which is unlikely given what I've heard of him)
In my opinion, Will Smith was a broken man seeking an ounce of his stolen masculinity but when broken men attack, they bully those weaker than themselves.
If Mr. Smith wants his masculinity back, he needs to learn to say 'no' to his wife if she tries to control or otherwise disrespect him, as I've outlined above.
Surely it is never too late to throw off the shackles of oppression?
That's true, but it's been what? 2 years? since Smith degraded himself to one of the lowest points for a man.
And he keeps digging himself in the mud.
The lower you are, the harder you have to work to regain some dignity and respect.
True, but so long as he remains afraid of that work, the worse and worse his situation will get as the hole he has dug gets deeper and deeper.
It's ultimately a test of his backbone - if he has one and both begins and perseveres with this work, trying to succeed anyway regardless of any fear, he will be rewarded with greater respect from everyone around him, including his wife, for showing that inner strength, whereas if he doesn't have one and caves to his fear, then he will continue to be punished as others around him see him as a weak fool and take advantage of that, including his wife, for showing that inner weakness.
Seeing all of this makes me feel sorry for Mr. Smith, to see such a famous and respected actor be reduced to the level of an enslaved beta by a manipulative sl*tty wife.
Yes. Most people seem to generally understand the classification, even if it is a rather simplistic one.Do you guys seriously refer to some people as "betas" and "Alphas?"![]()
Even if it isn't true in the case of wolves, it holds for other animals. For instance, Hippo pods definitely have a single Alpha male (who will sometimes allow beta males into the pod).Just so anyone knows, the originator of this concept denounced his own work.

Just so anyone knows, the originator of this concept denounced his own work.
So, as I stated before, it is pretty simplistic and crude classification system, but is generally easily understood and conveys the intended message efficiently and without much ambiguity.

which is pretty much the job a term should do, so the whole "beta", "alfa" and "sigma" thing works.
i was just talking about this with my flat mate. to be honest i can't name a single Movistar from the last 10 years.Anyway, to steer away from Alpha, Beta, Sigma, Zeta, Omega males, the Critical Drinker is always on point with his observations about pop culture.
