Excellent point. I would add that alpha males often try to keep younger men down… because they do not want the competition. And if an alpha male professor is surrounded by young female assistant professors, women whose careers he has championed, doesn’t this feel a little like having a harem?? Surely, it is better than having a bunch of younger male assistant professors trying to supplant him.
