Ah yes, the old “combating toxic masculinity by being macho and aggressive”.https://twitter.com/WTF_Judge/status/1077244103849623553 …
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.

Basically I think a more skilled version of what the guy did actually works and is in fact the basis of management/motivation models that are appropriate for many contexts. Otoh the stereotypically feminine "emotional connection" model has (imo) equal or greater toxicity dangers

Yeah I’m not saying there’s not such thing as tough love or that everything has to be hyper-emotionalized, just that what the guy was bragging about doing was a really inept way of trying to get through to his nephew.
