I may be off the mark but in my view the Alfa male behavior is behind the violence towards women and the brawls you see where blokes get hit and knocked out or killed.
This idea that to be an 'alpha' (which in and of itself is idiotic anyway) you need to behave in a dominant or violent manner is definitely problematic. A real 'alpha' male IMO is one who is confident enough in themselves not to have to resort to violence or putting down others to make themselves feel better or like a big man.
If your first response to conflict with a partner is to punch them, that's a problem, not 'alpha' behaviour.
