528: Why beta males are a danger to society

P&C drink and review Pigweed's home-brewed pale ale, then discuss the societal danger of the so-called beta male.

They react to a review by Dr. Orion Taraban of a Survivor episode that discusses the complex interactions between alpha males, beta males, and clever women. According to Dr. Taraban, the women made an alliance with the beta males to kick out the alpha males, but then the women turned on the beta males and kicked them out.

How does this dynamic play out in society? Where does "toxic masculinity" fit in? The boys discuss.

Crowhill tries to tie it together with a higher-level theory that doesn't distinguish by sex -- teasing out the roles of strong leaders, weak leaders, and behind-the-scenes manipulators.
