According to some men online, females nowadays act like they don’t care about men. 

Apparently, women hate all men, and any attention from a man is bad or predatory. At least, that’s what these men claim.

They argue that the world would be a better place if females went back to acting how they really want to act: serving men, staying home and being grateful for the life he’s so generously provided.

Now of course, I don’t believe this. However, many men do.

These ideas stem from the online Alpha Males, the men who soak themselves in bro culture and believe that the true ideal woman is so difficult to find nowadays. 

However, their ideal woman hasn’t been around since the 1950s.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines the Alpha Male as a strong and successful man who likes to be in charge of others. Simply put, he’s a dominant male who believes being loud and in control makes him superior 

Online, the term has evolved into a massive community of men who want to be in charge. They want to control women and have them regress to their maternal and domestic duties, believing that it’s the only thing women are good for.

Emory Andrew Tate III, or Andrew Tate, has been one of the most influential people leading this brigade with his online presence. 

Tate started as a professional kickboxer, featured on the UK version of popular reality show “Big Brother” later moving to Romania, the country he lives in now because he believed that the laws and restrictions in Romania were more lenient. 

“I’m not a rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free,” Tate said in an old, now deleted, clip from TikTok.  “Romania is a beautiful place… there’s no feminists, there’s no open homosexuality.

However, Tate has gained notoriety for his sexist and misogynistic views.

He was even kicked off “Big Brother” because he was accused of abusing some of the women who were also on the show.

Tate has a huge following. His podcast, “Tate Speech,” started in 2022 and before he was banned from YouTube, had over 700,000 subscribers. Its tagline is that “It gives you a perspective on life from the man who is eternally correct.” 

His podcast has featured many episodes about helping men achieve the Alpha Male lifestyle. But many of these episodes sparked a backlash as many of his loyal followers posting some of his worst clips online, showcasing his many disgusting views on women. 

In one of his worst clips, he says that sexual assault victims should “bear responsibility” for their attacks. In another he contends that once a man starts dating a woman she becomes his property. 

Tate was later arrested by the Romanian government, accused of rape and sex trafficking.

If anyone represents the extremes of Alpha Male culture, it’s Tate, who preaches that   a woman is not a partner that makes life better, but property that a man owns, uses and then discards when she gets too old and gross to fit his needs. 

On the podcast “BFFs,” Tate said, “If a woman is going out with a man, she belongs to that man, that’s his woman.”

Men like Andrew Tate reduce women to machines designed solely to be a mother and serve a man that can’t think for themselves. 

“If you’re not gonna have children, what are you gonna do with your lives?” Tate asked on the “Whatever” podcast.

In the 1950s nuclear family the male was the breadwinner and the female was the subservient housewife. . Everything they had  was owned by their husband—their money, their home, their car, their kids and even the woman herself. 

This is the ideal partnership for an Alpha Male. 

But  women aren’t one-size-fits-all mindless beings that can be controlled by a joystick. Many women have dreams and aspirations that they work hard to fulfill. Some never want kids and instead want to become a CEO of a business. Some want to become professional athletes or doctors or actresses and not a man’s servant. 

There’s nothing wrong with wanting children and a family to take care of. But most  women want the  freedom to make that decision. 

Alpha Males seem to want a female slave who can’t do anything without his permission, a dynamic that breeds  isolation, silences identity, and eventually festers into loneliness, resentment and rebellion. 

This belief system — where women are seen as something to control — has shaped generations. It plants toxic ideas into young men’s minds that dominance equals masculinity and that a woman’s only value lies in submission.. 

No one gets to decide someone else’s worth. Not a husband. Not a podcast host. And definitely not a self-proclaimed Alpha Male.
