  1. Yall don't get it , female hyenas are actually the more capable ones , they are strong and Masculine and thats why they rule .
    While in humans females are incapable little whiny stinky incomplete humans demanding to lead lmao

  2. I used to hate hyenas till I got to know them better!, they're my favorite animals now! For real, they have the best hierarchy, we humans need the same!

  3. When males are dominant over females, females don’t get treated like shit. When females are dominant, they treat the males really badly.

  4. "They're anatomically bigger, more muscular & stronger", well that's the very reason why males across all species dominate over females, so that explains that, I'm rather curious as to how the females came to be bigger in the first place? do they have higher levels of testosterone or something? it seems unnatural.

  5. In most mammals, the male is bigger in order to fight other males and to protect the group from predators. Maybe hyenas are just so formidable that they don't really need their males to act as guards. What messes with hyenas? Only mature male lions pretty much.

  6. That moment when you realize that lions are basically a Patriarchal monarchy and that hyenas are basically a Matriarchal monarchy and both of these animals are always at odds…

  7. i can only see feminsts complaining men are bitching about feminists and not giving enough respect to hyenas. quiet delutional and emotionally unstable. seriously whats wrong with these people?

  8. Last I checked, hyenas and humans are different SPECIES of animals, which means that they form different societal structures that best suits them.
    So STOP using hyenas to prove feminism is a bad thing…..

  9. hyena males need help from humans. hyena males need freedom, require rights and most importantly they just need something to eat anyways most of the comments about male hyenas are ignored

  10. This does not correspond with what I've always seen, there tons of footage showing both female and male eating on a kill at same time, so I'm not sure about thos footage lol
