Since our ancestors settled in the Neolithic era, in the vast majority of human societies, men have imposed their domination over women. Even today, in many places on the planet, the line between loving a woman and owning a female is still very porous. But, in our so-called law societies where equality is an objective, the retarded are campaigning in broad daylight for male domination.
I had a huge shock after hearing Marie-Emmanuelle and Florence-Olivia Genesse, whom I met at Everybody talks about it, recount the violence of the remarks they receive on social media. They said they handle an average of 10 death threats a day. Why ? Because these influencers who popularized a hand sign that allows women to discreetly ask for help in case of distress have the courage to denounce, without complacency, misogyny in all its forms. This neo-misogyny, often driven by young people who have been brainwashed by backward minds, scares me. Of these cybermisogynists organized into clans, there are those who call themselves alpha males and evoke a certain natural order to defend their project of male supremacy combined with racialist claims.
It is more than important for parents to prevent their children from coming into contact with these gurus who preach their hatred of women in social media. Allow me here to cling to nature, as they like to do, to try to make them realize that their view of what an alpha male is is a shameful caricature.
Yes, the alpha male needs to flex his muscles and keep his position in front of the satellite males who want to take his place, but he is never a bully in the service of female domination, as these fanatics believe.
Among wolves, which seem to be their model to copy, the great specialist Elli H. Radinger, author of The wisdom of wolves, says that when a decision is really crucial, it is the alpha female who decides. It is she who decides where, when or how to organize the hunt, but also where to dig the den. Here, the alpha male is much more a leader who ensures social cohesion than a carrier of brute genetics on his Y chromosome, which leads him, as these misogynists believe, to belittle females to give himself pride. impression of gaining height.
On the side of chimpanzees, who are our very close simian cousins, even if the males fight for power, they also know that it is the females who make the kings. Here too, the domination which rests only on physical force is not lasting. As primatologist Frans de Waal says, calling some humans alpha males is insulting chimpanzees. For them, the role of a good dominant is much more that of an impartial conciliator in the service of peace in the group. He even often works to comfort the weakest in the event of a fight. Because of the possible coalitions in their very complex society, a physically stronger male can quickly become the weaker. Conversely, a less imposing male can access the chiefdom. In fact, says de Waal, if he has the support of females and good friends and allies whom he makes happy, the weakest male in a group can become the dominant one.
The alpha males who terrorize the rest of the group, including the females, often experience a quick and brutal end to their reign.
Thus, in 2017, the chimpanzees of Fongoli, in my native Senegal, made international scientific headlines. An alpha male nicknamed Foudouko by the primatologist, who reigned as a tyrant over a group for 13 years, was savagely murdered by a coalition of young males who could no longer endure his brutality. His corpse will then be severely mutilated by others, including females. They went so far as to rip out his genitals after his death. Something to make think about the trolls who care about their schnolles…
Since the dawn of humanity, power has overwhelmingly been a male privilege. It may be time to try something other than looking for nebulous bypasses to restore phallocracy. If the examples of wolves and chimpanzees fail to convince a cyber alpha male that his vision is inept, he can also look to bonobos, who are just as close to us. In these great apes, power is combined with the feminine and their society is naturally much more peaceful and egalitarian than ours. Evolution has brought these “peace and love” great apes towards a matriarchal system which, without being perfect, is perhaps the example that these misogynists who rage on the web would gain from aping.
It is absolutely wrong to think that nature is in favor of the unchallenged domination of males.
To be convinced of this, all you have to do is unhook from your existential navel-gazing. Just over 50% of animal biodiversity species are made up of insects. Now, among this large group, the social insects represent the most evolved forms. Who is at the center of these most numerous and organized societies of creation? Workers and a queen. No alpha males in ants, bees, termites and social wasps, which are some of the most important animal life forms in the biosphere. This is another argument to prove that the misogyny of the said alpha males who are rampant on social networks is much more the amplification by artificial intelligence of the existential imbecility of certain people. These small groups which threaten Marie-Emmanuelle and Florence-Olivia Genesse with death seem undeniably to take the path of a regressive evolution. Don’t give up girls, because the vast majority of Y chromosome carriers believe in your cause and walk beside you.
