Ah yes, the old “combating toxic masculinity by being macho and aggressive”.https://twitter.com/WTF_Judge/status/1077244103849623553 …
ah c'mon man... you're giving a dog a bad name and hanging it. Emotional engagement and tough love are just 2 modes with pros and cons, and both men and women are capable of using both. Don't demonize one. Alphaism is fine until it turns into sadism. Connection has toxicity too

Read my whole thread, I’m calling into question that these methods are appropriate for the stated ends. You can’t convince someone that “alpha/beta is a bad framework” by trying to be more alpha than them.

I did read it and the thread you were QTing. I think there's 2 definitions of "alpha" operating in that thread... a subcultural performance mask version, versus the default natural way guys normally act, which I am very wary of "medicalizing" into a mental illness or something.
