Given the circumstances, was 'beat' the best word to use

There seems to be only one possible solution. Get rid of the women. They cause all of the problems.

I actually believe there are some "alphas" in the world. I've even met a few, they are very impressive to observe. True alphas don't have to work so hard trying to convince everybody of their masculinity, it speaks for itself. They also don't whine on internet forums about how women are ruining everything for them.


It's absolutely fascinating. It's like having a glimpse inside the psyche of the crying Nazi.

"I'm an alpha male. You're all snowflakes for not being as macho as me. Oh and by the way, it's everybody else's fault that I'm an unemployed failure who can't get laid. "

How many Americans are like the OP and think the plural form of "wife" is "wife's" and not "wives" ?
