The """alpha male's""" masculinity is so fragile, they threw a conniption when seeing a picture of a fit woman.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 73 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

I have a personal hypothesis that self-proclaimed alpha [males] may feel the same gender dysphoria that trans folk do, only it is the sensation that they present less masculine than they actually do, so in their effort to attaining a little bit of machismo they go way overboard.

It's similar I think to the way Donald Trump can be President of the United States, and still feel fragile and unworthy.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Lol, so if I'm hearing you right, people who yap endlessly about "being alpha" are "beta to alpha trans"?

If the West falling means we get more fit women with abs, good. Let it all crash down.

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't find abs in women attractive. But if women want to have them, and others want to admire them, who am I to stop them?

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If more people had this attitude towards harmless things that don't suit their tastes we'd live in a far less hostile world. Thanks for being a decent person!

What part of this great picture got them scared?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 67 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I thought it was a little unsettling that their legs appear to be on backwards.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (16 children)

I guess, because its very hard for biological women to get abs like that. The muscles are just different. Not impossible, but way, way harder then for men and therefore quite rare.

And we all know, its very scary for bigots to even look at trans people. They might have to wash their eyes with soap now.

[–] SorryforSmelling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

just wanna add that it is easier to get them with testosterone. i think it makes sense to make that distinction here since there are literal cis women body builder who take it as performance enhancing drugs.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Interesting. I wasn't sure if it gets harder for trans women, when they are on estrogen. Do they loose the abs?

There is absolutely some muscle loss when on hrt. A study suggests transfems are comparable to cis women after about 2 years on hormones. Dunno if transfems have an easier time having visible abs, though.

I think it's less that the muscles are different, and more about body fat percentage and maybe distribution. You could have the strongest core in the world, but if there's a layer of fat on top of your abs, they won't have this visible definition.

Also... Really rare to have boobs that big AND such low body fat, but all sorts of women get implants.

[–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 10 points 2 years ago

I thought it was just regular old sexism; woman getting stronk has the men with fragile egos feeling scared.

sweaty 6 pack made their pants tight, and monkey brain confused as only men should have 6 pack abs...ergo they may have caught the gay

Why do podcasters hate attractive women

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 29 points 2 years ago

Because the woman makes an effort to take care of herself and it makes them feel shitty about being lazy.

[–] pero@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Because they are afraid she'd absolutely dominate them? Freaking AlPHa MalEs.

What is so crazy is that a lot of these folks look up to Sparta because of its dedication to physical conditioning. But of the people that traveled to Sparta we know that they wrote of watching the women of Sparta exercise because they were known to be strong, fast, and beautiful because of their exercise and physical conditioning was expected of them even as slave owning elites.

This person should be lauded for their dedication to conditioning and feared for their ability to Kegel a steel girder asunder. And they probably don't even own one slave outright so it is even that more amazing.

I miss being fit. Muscle mommies are underrated. All the endorphins. First thing I'm going to do off a grad student salary is get a personal trainer. Fitness makes me feel normal and happy. I lost my six pack here, foo.

Muscle mommies are underrated.

Oh I don't know about that. We worship you.

She has an absolutely statue-esque physique. These chuds are so fragile. This intimidates them.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

More muscle mommies please.

Edit: realized this is a lgbtq group… I’m a straight dude and love this pic.
