Alpha

    It is common to have males attempt to assert their dominance
in packs. Within these packs the responsibility of their actions are diffused
as compared to being dominant solo. Most commonly, males attempt to assert
their dominance by sexually disrespecting women. By this I mean dog calls,
inappropriate touching or grabbing, and at worst rape and murder. Males allow
this behavior to continue to assert dominance and being the alpha of the pack-
like dogs- and for what?

  Still men are not the only gender that competes for the title of
alpha dog. Women compete with one another but much more subtly. There are two
ways that women can become alpha dog and sad enough their title depends on the
reactions of the opposite sex. The first way females can assert dominance is to
stay quiet with the treatment males distribute. If a female is to display her
disdain for a male's behavior she is now 'stuck- up'. The second way a female
can assert her dominance is to embrace her sexuality as a type of tool. When
females do this they contribute into many manmade stereotypes. Namely, women
are here to please men, but they also gain the approval of men because of such.
How many posters of female rights advocates’ do you see hanging up in an all
male environment? That's right: None.
  Maybe this adoption of dominance rules can be summed up as:
These rules have been around for so long no one can change them. Maybe it is
also as simple as: No one wants to change them. At the end of the day all we
can do is guess because tomorrow these sad cycles of male and female dominance
will still exist.
