content: I was entertaining a similar idea recently. That is, women have a stronger preference for group think and so do some men, as you put it "beta males". But I don't think that these beta males can change like you say. Look at how hairlessness, another trait which came about through sexual selection, affected not only females but males also inherited this trait. It is very likely that beta males simply share the genetic predisposition toward conformity that is much more common in women. *disclaimer: Anybody with actual knowledge in genetics and evolutionary biology please feel free to yell at me for errors.
