Problem is; people really really really seem to like to believe in this meme. They want to believe in the myth of the alpha male. They find it comforting. I think it's probably similar to supreme-being myths, and racial-superiority myths. (who doesn't like to be told they're "a member of the master-race" or "naturally inclined to dominate and lead, be entitled to privilege"?)
Getting this mythology beat-down is going to be a very difficult steep uphill climb, I'm afraid. Hell, we're literally still trying to convince people the world is round.
