Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it

    I think that one is finally starting to die off, aside from the last gasps of a man in prison. It takes a while for real science to filter through to common knowledge, and I’m constantly seeing the corrections about wolves and alpha status as flawed thinking.

      I think it also got tied into the incel movement and became a toxic phrase. Even if you didn’t know the actual science, would you want to call yourself an “alpha male” if it made people think you were an incel?
