I can get around the use of this word with synonyms and make post after post without inspiring hostile flames. I am not going to do that anymore, I am going to write a post and lobby for it to be a sticky here in your lounge.
The "PC coding for this type woman in my youth was": She wears the pants in the family.
Everyone freely used that expression and when it was used, everyone knew what it meant. I never heard an argument from the men present when those comments were made. Folks would nod - yes that is true - she DOES wear the pants in the family.
With no further ado: The only societies which lack an abundance of alpha females are those inherently hostile to women - think religious fanatics.
All real meritocracies are home to a rapidly growing number of them. Stop fighting a term that applies every much to you as it does to the men.
A quick informal list of alpha females I know:
- Simply Amorous
- Catherine
- Turnera
- Trenton
- Long list of others on this board
- Two of my Aunts
- Two sisters
- Mrs. MEM - AKA The Good Wife
- Many executives I have worked with
Alpha means leader - means powerful - it doesn't mean: Man who abuses his power over women.
And one more thing. Alpha females are hot. And those that mix a lot of alpha and beta together make great spouses and co-parents.
