There are three types of males: '''[[Alpha]]''', '''[[Beta]]''', and '''[[Omega]]'''. [[Alpha]] males are at the top of the social hierarchy, and [[Omega|Omegas]] are at the bottom. The majority of [[men]] are [[Beta]] males. '[[Alpha]]' does not mean inherently, or even morally 'superior' it just means at the top of the social hierarchy, which may be corrupt, or too stratified. Though there is some dispute over the definition of the term 'Alpha', with some defining it to mean men who act dominant or who are sexually successful, even if they are seen as losers by other men or are objectively low in social status. | There are three types of males: '''[[Alpha]]''', '''[[Beta]]''', and '''[[Omega]]'''.
