Shamou, this was your own quote in a previous thread, of the definition of the western concept and construct of alphaism:
'In social animals, the alpha male or alpha female is the individual in the community whom the others
follow and
defer to. Where one male and one female fulfill this role, they are referred to as the alpha pair.
Chimpanzees show
deference to the alpha of the community by ritualised gestures such as
bowing, allowing the alpha to walk
first in a procession, or
standing aside when the alpha
challenges. Canines also show
deference to the alpha pair in their pack, by allowing them to be the first to eat and, usually, the
only pair to mate; wolves are a good example of this.
The status of the alpha is generally achieved by means of
superior physical prowess, however, in certain highly social species such as the bonobo, a contender can use more indirect methods, such as political alliances, to
oust the ruling alpha and
take his/her place.
In humans, the alpha male often refers to a man who is powerful or high on the social ladder, similar to hegemonic masculinity. In
Western cultures, the term is usually pejorative and describes a man who is
overtly masculine to the point of rejecting any affront to their ascribed status.
You ask for my definition of alphism...even after I have repeatedly outlined in numerous posts that it is along the lines of the above. Either, you obviously haven't given any attenion to anything I have said, or perhaps you were serious with your following quote on this thread:
'Thank you so much for that clarification... now it is clear and I understand... (Sometimes I have problem with walking and chewing gum at the same time... )
By the way, have you seen the famous Monty Python Black Knight skit?
