I'm so glad someone posted about this. I just saw the link via Cernovich's Twitter and came right over to RVF.
The nonsense is only getting more blatant.

Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve been obsessed with the male physique. I remember rushing home after preschool to watch Batman reruns. The merest glimpse of the Caped Crusader’s well-muscled body in his gray tights and blue briefs gave me “funny feelings.” It took a few more years before I put the pieces together and figured out I was gay. Meanwhile, I resolved that when I grew up I would look just like Batman. I started wearing tighty-whities over my long pajamas and ran around the house, playing out my fantasy of being as strong, powerful, and sexy as my idol.

Exactly. Look how desperate the establishment is getting. They are now nakedly trying to force "beta-ness" down everyone's throat. They're losing the ideological war.
The masculine renaissance is just beginning, and we helped start it, and infuse it with intellectual rigor.

Why does this stuff become so big in the US? Why does it start there?

Do you have a datasheet or any info on how to get into product testing like that, sounds easy and profitable!

I just had an off topic thought, is there a datasheet on getting those focus group deals?

Maybe you want to showcase a different conception of "masculinity" to the world, OK. But you describe it as being a "beta male?"
No one is going to want to be a "beta" in anything. Who's motivated to be second best? Who's motivated to go for silver instead of gold? Who's motivated to lose?

Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg and Seth Rogen are legitimate movie stars. Kendrick Lamar’s breakthrough album involved gang-banging, yes, but in many of the verses he adopted the persona not of an alpha gangster, but of an exhausted and scared kid traumatized by the gunfire around him. Drake and Kanye are frequently, openly — quite ostentatiously, in the latter’s case — vulnerable.
If the goal of being alpha is to get access to women, prestige, and money, it can’t be the case that these men aren’t alpha in any sense that could possibly matter. And they’re reflecting trends one can observe at every level of society, not just in the superstar outliers. Looking at the scope of American masculinity from Friday-night football heroics in Texas to art galleries in hipster districts, there’s probably never been a time when there were more ways to “win” as a male.
