I do.
Women are after all humans not animals, and like men they have both a human side and an animal/instinct side. In this case the women know that sexual desire will lead them to follow their animal instincts and commit adultery with the top Alpha males, committing paternity fraud against their beta husbands. Women know that this breaks up families, and they know it is morally wrong, so they choose to undergo FGM to control the urges of their animal side.

But as for the origin of the practice, everyone agrees that it is the men who came up with it.

So, women know that they'll commit adultry because they've just gotta have sex with the all-power alpha males.

Ho boy. This thread is starting to improve.

So if OP is correct, I'm an alpha male! Fuck yea!!!!! Take that football players and guys taller than 6 feet!

I didn't say what genetic traits constitute an alpha male, just that women see them as genetically superior. If you want to know if you are one, simply pick up the phone and call one of your 4 girlfriends, then tell her to come over and have sex with you, and she does.
If you can do that, you're an alpha male.

He has some relative logos but it is not absolute truth in anthropology.

One way to understand this more is comparing Gorillas with Chimpanzees. Gorillas are an alpha male society and much more peaceful. Chimpanzees are often run by beta males and much more violent. Bonobos might be beta but they are Matriarchal and much more peaceful than Chimpanzees. I am personally wondering if Chimpanzee societies are all monotonous beta male societies but I have not read much scientific research or data on the subject although I am not sure how much research has even been done on Chimpanzee sociological diversity.

Human society is often beta male Patriarchal. Conflict is well known but control is just as important in the many patriarchal human societies. Patriarchy actually rose in the neolithic with the rise of agriculture and the subsequent rise of civilizations although most were not as patriarchal as the Romans or Abrahamics and some of their Western Semitic relatives like the Amorites which contrasts with other Semitic societies like the Egyptians and Phoenicians.

Hunter-Gatherer societies tend to have balanced sociology of the sexes especially compared to patriarchal agricultural societies. One thing to note is that reliance on the agricultural diet means there is lots of grain to go around to support a very large population but that the diet is nutritionally deficient especially in calcium and protein. This is why males descended from Neolithic agriculturalists tend to be very thin and low on muscle and bone mass.

Not exactly. I would say tradition and possible jealously would drive adult women to support FGM.

Is a lion or gorilla more alpha?

Well I would say neither. Lions are most certainly the more aggressive species.

Also note that alpha males existing does not mean that the society is patriarchal as alpha females can also exist in any animal society. The perfect example of this is Wolf society.

So then is a wolf more alpha than a lion or gorilla? Who would win if they were all locked up in a cage together?

Also why does OP have a picture of a hyena as his post picture considering that Hyena society is run by females oppressing the males in a matriarchal society?

Scientific Fact.

Did you know that Hyena females have more testosterone than Hyena males do?

Well earlier I might have said the lion but it is possible the gorilla would win. Not only do they have extreme upper body strength but they also have a much more powerful bite than most animals.

Wow. You've made a lot of misstakes OP. I could point some out, but my post would end up longer than your OP if I did. That would likely be a waist of time on my part because I see a possible lock of this thread in it's future.

"Waste" of time. "Mistakes." "Its."

And yes. Being a spelling Nazi is the most productive thing I can do in this stupid thread.

Yeah I was thinking gorilla because it can grab the wolf or lion and either choke it or unhinge their jaws with its strength. Gorillas are alpha as fuck, I wonder how much one could benchpress. Also didn't know about its strong bite. Stronger than a gray wolf's? They can bite through human femurs I read.

I'm waiting for the next thread by the OP:

Do you care about murdering <whatever>? You know, as long as they're not anyone you know or unlikely to ever be attracted to you...

I always thought that love was blind, but sex is blind too i guess.

So can you now explain to me please what traits a male must have to be considered an alpha male ?

The number one feature must be that he must be extremely charismatic and to be able to sway people. And that says nothing about genetic defects he might have.
Can still pollute the gene pool.

A leader can only do so much as his followers allow him to do.
