The Right & Obsession with Maniliness?

Beta males fear strong men so they label behaviour associated with healthy masculinity and assertiveness as an "obsession."
So derailing political discussions with sexual ad hominem attacks at every possible opportunity is healthy masculinity?

You still don't get it. You have no power. The left abused it and now it's been taken away.
You don't get it. The pendulum swings the other way every 8-12 years. Donnie Boy is just another corporate puppet. Same with Ryan and McConnell. Your revolution isn't coming.

You don't get to debate. Now you get told.
This ain't Pinochet-era Chile, boy.

It's no different than calling someone racist/sexist/xenophobic/bigoted/whatever else the left likes to use. It would be best if both sides avoided such tactics.

While a few tumbleristas sometimes leak out into the real world and should be ignored, are you saying that if a person makes a racist/sexist/xenophobic/bigoted statement they shouldn't be called out or held accountable for it?
 
An odd choice of words, given your avatar. It's also interesting that your username and avatar don't match. Julius Caesar was Dictator, not a king. He was killed because some Roman senators and aristocrats suspected he had ambitions to become a king, and they found that profoundly unpalatable.

To note, the appointed Roman dictator doesn't quite match up with our modern concept of "dictator".

The point is that the username and avatar don't match. Julius Caesar was not a king. He was also not an emperor.
 
There are no alphas or betas. There is love or lack of love. There is competition or lack of competition. There is survival or happiness. There is aggression or understanding, light, and trust.

There is knowing oneself and not knowing oneself.

They instinctively know that these men with this "obsession" will not allow themselves to be trampled upon and therefore, the liberal beta males can never subjugate them. The beta male's fear, however, originates from them just beginning to consciously realize that they have picked a fight that they have no hope of ever winning.
It is not fear your "beta" males feel. It is your pain and your darkness. Fear is what you will inevitably feel once you eventually realize you are but a drop in a vast ocean of reality, and your "power" is only an illusion; fleeting, circumstantial, and insignificant.

Even if it is less accurate you have to admit that Roman King just sounds better than Roman Emperor, which has too many syllables, or Roman Clown, which would understate the historical significance of Rome.
 
What about Gamma Males and Delta Males?
 
Based on the existence of Rita Coolidge there must be delta males somewhere to maintain balance.
 
Well, we did spend the better part of 3 centuries painting black people as well-hung, exotic, sexual, physical freaks that are only out to steal our white wimmin, so it would certainly explain quite a lot, wouldn't it?
And at the same time sexually exploiting their women. That's the ironic thing about all this, the actual (versus perceived and fake) threat of sexual violence has for hundreds of years been by white men against black women. Yet the reactionary right portrays race relations as an epic struggle against the depravity of black men - total garbage.
 
What's up with this? Everything is ****old this & beta-male that.

It's not like Paul Ryan, Alex Jones & Jeff Sessions are epitomes of masculinity (Sessions in particular, he actually looks more feminine than Kate McKinnon does playing him). And the same alpha-crowd is siding with Trump over the Governator over the important national issue of Apprentice ratings. How can Trump be more manly than Arnold?

Any armchair insights?
It's not new. A preoccupation with creeping effeminacy has been a preoccupation of the right since the nineteenth century, one of several responses to the impact of industrialism and bureaucratisation. It goes back to Boulanger, at least, if not earlier. All that's changed is that their preoccupations are expressed in more crassly sexual terms than previously, and even that's not really a novelty, it just lacks the curtain of bourgeois respectability that the right has traditionally draped in front of its neuroses.

I don't think that's equivalent. Racism, sexism and bigotry are objectively bad things, but there's nothing objectively bad about effeminacy, homosexuality or even, really, being a big ol' ****. The tone might be similarly shrill, but the content is very different, and content is at least occasionally important.

Even if it is less accurate you have to admit that Roman King just sounds better than Roman Emperor, which has too many syllables, or Roman Clown, which would understate the historical significance of Rome.
I assumed it referred to the Medieval title "King of the Romans", if only because the 11th century seems reasonable dating for the poster in questions' politics.

If we judge by 17th century standards, women are becoming more 'masculine'. Horse riding and high heels are nowadays considered women's domains, despite these used to be considered manly.

Technological progress and economic trends (including anticonception pills and deindustrialisation) have worked in women's favour. I don't see any way to change it, nor any reason humanity should. We humans are far too numerous for the good of the planet, so if feminism is useful in thinning the numbers of man, I'm all for it*!
