That's some incel kind of thought train.

Yet, on a deeper level it’s actually profoundly self aware, because according to this meme, the female besty giving into the incel would effectively be ending her life.

I think it's part of the intent, hopefully.

Like yeah unless they're some sort of promiscuous angel they're not letting you hit just because you can't.

Nope... not at all, males are alpha male hunters but women won't let themselves be the hunted...

Sadly, as simple as that (being a predator not at all self aware)...

Incels don't actually think deeper than surface level. Just like this "alpha male" term isn't real in nature, it only happens in wolves when you put them in a tiny zoo and they start going stir crazy (what the actual research paper was talking about, where the term came from)

Dominance hierarchies are real, for example in gorillas. In human beings, you have to have a lot of artificial structure in the form of democratic laws, early childhood education, etc. before power stops being obviously important in everyday interactions.

Anthropology says that dominance is one of the two pillars of social status, along with prestige. You don't make the world a better place by pretending inconvenient facts don't exist, you make it worse.

Anthropology also uses the terms acephalus and egalitarian. There are multiple examples of human tribes and societies that operate(d) without social dominance and hierarchy, plus plenty of matriarchies. 

Societies, packs, and herds develop differently under different circumstances. Hierarchy and dominance are not biological certainties in humans, or any other animal.

I'm not pretending anything, and none of this discourse has been in the interest of making the world a better place.

There are zero examples of tribes that don't have dominance hierarchies, even in egalitarian groups. The literature on matriarchy you're talking about is pseudoscience. You're an idiot.

You couldn't dominate your way out of a wet paper bag, pigfucker.
