Meiselas: First off—people who are alpha don’t go around calling themselves alpha.

Look, where I grew up, my dad would say: Being a man means standing by your word.

Being a man means you push back against the bully, and you uplift people. You don’t punch down at marginalized communities.

And yes, the example of whaling. The ban on commercial whaling, and the comeback of the humpback populations in just 10 years. But I feel it could all slip away again if we don't keep up the pressure. Just look at what is happening to democracy in the US!
