This is perfect—thank you for the plug, Emily. I stand by that comment. I’ll provide my response from the other thread, which highlights and explains your behavior.
“I will soon be sharing insights on what it means to raise a man and to live as one, rooted in Catholic tradition, where true masculinity embodies virtues like courage, integrity, and a willingness to sacrifice. The ‘social sɛҳuąƖ hierarchy,’ ranging from Sigma, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, to Omega, is not specifically Catholic. However, it can offer an interesting lens on human behavior—particularly as it highlights tendencies we should strive to overcome and virtues we should foster.
In this framework, a Gamma often embodies certain weaknesses, such as excessive emotionality, avoidance of responsibility, and divisive tactics like ‘ratting out’ others. These traits run counter to Catholic ideals of manhood, which call us to rise above petty behaviors and instead cultivate virtues like humility, fortitude, and charity.
In Catholic teaching, personality types like cleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic each carry strengths that, when directed toward virtue, can lead one closer to holiness. For example, the natural leadership of the cleric and the enthusiasm of the sanguine are meant to inspire and guide others toward God. Likewise, the social hierarchy concepts can be used thoughtfully, helping us recognize weaknesses (like the Gamma’s traits) that need tempering. Ultimately, we’re called to transcend any secular hierarchy by striving for holiness and grounding our lives in Faith, guided by virtue rather than worldly status.
Ladies, run from this type. A Gamma personality often longs to be courageous yet lacks the daily dying to self required for true strength. This struggle to embrace self-sacrifice frequently leads to lashing out and resentment—traits that undermine both relationships and a man’s character.“
