    He didn’t get called “man of steel”, good old Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili called himself that just to massage his ego. Kind of like certified Most Fuckable Twink Nick Adams proclaiming himself to be an “alpha male”.

      That guy certainly isn’t an “alpha male,” but calling him “fuckable” is going way too far.

        Well, that’s only if you buy into the myth that “alpha male” is even real. If say he is “alpha male” in that he exemplifies an imaginary concept…

          Look, I’m just saying, to be the “certified Most Fuckable Twink” being infinitely submissive isn’t enough; you’ve got to be attractive too. This asshole meets that first criterion, but absolutely fails on the second.

      So he’s a self-made man of steel? Even better! It seems Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili was truly a sigma male.
