Vox Day: Difference between revisions

*[[Gamma male]]s (archetypal nerd or malcontent). Subject matter field experts, but subversive to alphas, as they tend to have the ego and status drive of an alpha male without having the 'goods' (social capital, money, looks, mental toughness etc.) to win the status competitions necessary to ascend in rank. Described by Day as being habitually dishonest, in fact, he considers this their core identifying attribute. They are apparently often [[SJW]]s, with Day dedicating a whole chapter of his 'SJWs Always Double Down' book to 'gamma behavior'.<ref>https://www.amazon.com.au/SJWs-Always-Double-Down-Anticipating-ebook/dp/B075BGGKLG</ref> They are disrupting or trouble-making to organizations, unless hired in a limited capacity as a contractor. <br />More intelligent than the average, but [[midwit|often not as intelligent as they think]]. Conflict avoidant, capable within their areas of interest, weak, responsibility shifting, and passive-aggressive.<br />Prone to meltdowns. Disliked by women to the point of repulsion, with Day asserting women have a 'sixth sense' when it comes to detecting and avoiding gammas. They are said to alternate between misogynistic loathing and goddess worship of women, particularly women they are romantically interested in. They are hopeless romantics and prone towards developing '[[oneitis]]' syndrome. But as they 'play the game' (take part in social interactions), unlike omegas, they often find a female partner at some point in their lives. Day also claims these relationships will often ultimately result in the gamma being emotionally abused and controlled by the woman in question. Despite their submissive behavior towards women, Day also frequently implies gammas are over-represented in the ranks of rapists, sexual harassers and child molesters.<ref>https://alphagameplan.blogspot.com/2011/03/socio-sexual-hierarchy.html</ref> They are asserted to be prone to erupting in "walls of text" when their ego is challenged.<ref>https://voxday.blogspot.com/2019/11/statistics-and-gamma.html</ref> In sum, this rank is generally analogous to the 'beta' rank previously outlined by other manospherian writers. Gamma males, as Day describes them, seems to be [[Dark triad#Vulnerable narcissism|frequently vulnerable narcissists.]]

*[[Omega male]]s (archetypal complete outcast) - The quintessential social reject, and in extreme cases, the school shooter, such as [[Adam Lanza]]. Their mere existence upsets women. Not incompetent, but socially handicapped. Few or no male friends, no female acquaintances. Prone to very extreme meltdowns. He references the 'stapler guy' in the movie "Office Space" as the prototypical Omega. Day described omegas as either being indifferent to women or prone to hating them with a murderous rage. He portrays omega males as typically being ugly, autistic, and implies they are genetically inferior.
