A '''dominance hierarchy''' is an arrangement in a group of animals in which each member has a ''rank'' or ''status'' that everyone mostly agrees on. Members of higher rank are admitted more power and resources. While almost no one contests the idea of dominance hierarchies relative to certain traits or social domains, different groups frame social hierarchy differently. Socialists mainly frame the hierarchy as based on control of material resources. The [[pro-male collective]] frame it based off [[toxic masculinity]] born from [[hypergamy]]. Feminists base it off [[toxic masculinity]] born from [[patriarchy]]. | A '''dominance hierarchy''' is an arrangement in a group of animals in which each member has a ''rank'' or ''status'' that everyone mostly agrees on.

The idea of an overall, necessary, mostly fixed, and possibly genetic sociosexual hierarchy in humans has been mainly promoted seriously by various traditionalists such as [[Vox Day]] and [[Jordan Peterson]] and thus has had influence on the [[manosphere]] as [[tradcon]]s entered the manosphere in the 2010s. The modern mainstream concept of a genetic, inevitable, necessary, or extremely fixed sociosexual hierarchy was also inspired by more mainstream media/literature and [[PUA|pick-up-artistry]] which was in turn inspired by scientist [[David Mech|David Mech's]] concept of an 'alpha wolf', which David later retracted.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20151023133410/http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/outdoors/2014/sep/24/my-bad-alpha-wolf-term-outmoded/</ref><ref>Scientist David Mech addresses readers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNtFgdwTsbU</ref> | The idea of an overall, necessary, mostly fixed, and possibly genetic sociosexual hierarchy in humans has been mainly promoted seriously by various traditionalists such as [[Vox Day]] and [[Jordan Peterson]] and thus has had influence on the [[manosphere]] as [[tradcon]]s entered the manosphere in the 2010s.
