==The socio-sexual hierarchy==
As mentioned earlier, Vox Day has his own, somewhat unique, spin on the [[dominance hierarchy]], often using Hollywood movies as examples.  This conception has had an enormous influence on the [[manosphere]] and the [[incelosphere]]. While Day admits the hierarchy is often 'fractal' (i.e., an 'Alpha' in a smaller scale hierarchy will often be relegated to a 'Beta' or 'Delta' rank in a larger scale hierarchy and so on), he also frequently implies that one's placement on the hierarchy is substantially genetically determined, especially when it comes to the extremes of low and high rank.
Vox is also known for putting the dichotomous [[PUA|PUA-derived]] alpha/beta based [[dominance hierarchy]] concepts together with a broader focus on non-sexual social interactions in what he calls the 'socio-sexual hierarchy'.  This conception has had an enormous influence on the [[manosphere]] and the [[incelosphere]]. While Day admits the hierarchy is often 'fractal' (i.e., an 'Alpha' in a smaller scale hierarchy will often be relegated to a 'Beta' or 'Delta' rank in a larger scale hierarchy and so on), he also frequently implies that one's placement on the hierarchy is substantially genetically determined, especially when it comes to the extremes of low and high rank.
He divides the hierarchy, if we are to take this seriously, as follows:

*[[Alpha|Alpha males]] (CEO etc.) - The decision-maker, the leader, who treats people according to how they respect his status.  Women are very attracted to him. They are so attracted to him that women who would be better reserved for mating with lower ranks need to be restrained from his mere presence for a healthy, happy society. Day claims alphas generally view women as objects for their sexual and social gratification, and that alphas are typically characterized by their lust for status above all else. Day frequently portrays former US president Donald Trump as the archetypal alpha.
