New Hollywood Reporter Cover Celebrates "Triumph of the Beta Male"

The front cover of the latest issue of the Hollywood Reporter celebrates the “triumph of the beta male”.

The photograph features male cast members from the HBO comedy series Silicon Valley, the fifth season of which will be broadcast later this month. The show centers around five nerds who form a startup company.

Although the headline applauds “the triumph of the beta male,” the rest of the article doesn’t really address the issue and is mostly a review of the series so far.

Respondents to the article questioned the accuracy of the headline.

“Women prefer real men. Billionaire beta men can (temporarily) get hot women with all that cash but the women will end up cheating them. It’s called biology,” commented one.

“This is an unintentionally funny info-mercial spot for that allegedly new kind of man who is not so much the reformed alpha-male being as he is simply the techno-cogwork conformist, i.e. he who advertisingly corresponds to the totalizing imperatives of our increasingly self-commodification-based society,” added another.

“Ahh yes a show about a group of socially awkward nerds constantly fumbling their opportunities despite having the best tech in the industry. So triumphant,” remarked another.

As we highlight in the video below, from the #MeToo movement, to commercials, to culture in general, young men appear to be being indoctrinated with the idea that being weak and effeminate will help them get ahead in life and relationships.

Combined with constant lecturing that they need to keep their “toxic masculinity” in check, this has led to a dramatic loss of confidence amongst young men and the rise of sub-cultures where some are giving up on women entirely.

A recent survey found that almost 25% of US millennial men think that merely asking a woman to go for a drink is a form of sexual harassment.

However, whenever women are asked if they prefer stereotypically “beta men” or alpha men, they almost always choose alpha men. Women are also more likely to be attracted to masculine men during the fertile part of their ovulation cycle.

That picture, with their hands where they are, disturbs me...

Yeah, I'm sure the women are lining up for that.

I absolutely buy this. Women are naturally drawn to limp-wristed, low sperm count, low testosterone metrosexuals that make Niles Crane look like Rambo.

Yeah "reach-around's"

Someone has to be second place. If telling themselves that second is better than first makes them happier, I'm good with it.

Surprised because this is probably the first time another human being has ever touched him below the waist.

And, guess where his left hand is...

This shit doesn’t even work as satire or humor, it’s just pathetic.

Nope. Instant turn-off, at least to me and all the other Southern women I know. Perhaps some liberal Yankee women are into that. IMO the only thing worse than a liberal beta male is the knuckle-dragging mouth-breather who thinks I can't drive a manual car and that I want to buy a pink gun.

Yup. Where are their pajamas?

The guy in the orange is also the guy who does those annoying 'drop the mike' Verizon commercials.

The wife and I always question who would even consider using Verizon based upon those commercials.
I guess we are just too old to get it.

So, the ability to buy a whore is "triumph"?

Because that's what they're saying. Rich guys get girls. True. They're called whores. Poor guys get them too, it's just a matter of trim level. Rich guys get the Bentley, while the poor man pounds a Yugo; but in the end, regardless of the price, it's still cash for sex. It's not exactly a new phenomenon.

I guess I've got a really different definition of triumph than Hollywood does. Then again, these are the same guys that lose $10-20 million on a film ten times in a row, and then crow like a rooster about the one film that made $30 million.

But hey, whatever blows their hair back.

Yeah "reach-around's"

Circle ummm "reach around".

What leftists are telling you is that they will tolerate you only if your stature in society is reduced and you start acting like these little... whatever they're supposed to be.

The only "triumph" in any of this is the Left convincing men that this is how they should behave. Yeah, we'll see how that goes.

I lost testosterone just looking at that.
