An Ugly Attack on Lonely Males and What it Represents (Beta Male Infighting)

[radicalliberal]

31. I assume you're referring to Hugo Schwyzer.

When I started posting online in 2009, I discovered Schwyzer at a website of his own, if I remember correctly. At the time he seemed to reflect many of my views, but I didn't take the time to follow him in the next few years. I know he recently had a falling out with Good Men Project over some issue regarding rape, but I didn't have the time to find out what that was all about. This particular outburst of his is very sad. Seems like he was searching for a villain, but chose the wrong guys -- guys who are hurting, for that matter.

Incidentally (and this observation is not to be regarded as a criticism of any member of this board), I get tired of the categorization of men (and boys) into different groups (alphas, betas, etc.), which always carries with it the implication that one group is inferior to another. For example, the nonathletic male being viewed as inferior to athletic guys. Never mind that each individual has his own strengths and weaknesses. Seems to me that much, if not most, of the emasculation of guys is done by other guys -- such as the judo instructor of my teenage years (an instructor I was sent to against my will by a clinical psychologist, who turned out to be incompetent), a former college football player who believed that only athletes and men in certain blue-collar jobs were "real men" and that nonathletic men who had great moral courage (such as Andrei Sakharov) did not deserve to be honored.
