Yeah. I don't think taking care of your kids is beta behaviour. I actually think it is very Alpha in the sense that fathers are taking control over their responsibilities of fatherhood - which go beyond playing catch with the kid.
My personal take on Alpha male is one who is very comfortable in his masculinity - which may defy what is considered normal guymanbro behavior. I think taking care of your $hit and being strong, confident, and assertive is what's important. Moving away from 'Yes, dear' BS behavior.
I paint my nails with my D and I rock it outside the home while wearing camo pants and blasting gangsta hip hop. I rock my masculinity with strength and confidence and nobody is mistaking me for a beta NGS dude.
I do that too, because for the most part, IDGAF what other people think about me. I am/was mostly secure in who I am. If I make changes, it is for me and noone else.
The only person with a lot of power to influence was my Dad, aside from W.
And therapy has helped me stand up to my dad.
If my D wants me to sport a tutu, purple hair, and painted fingers, I will. I don't care if you think I am feminine, because my Daughter is happy.
