The alpha male is meaningfully different from the other males, too. Are all of the other males not boys? Get out of here with this garbage. You could.....at least, contain your pathetic revulsion to animals that gender concepts even apply to. If you saw a pitbull in a skirt would it make you uncomfortable? Would you chase it around the dog park to make sure it shits in the right place?
But they DO have a concept of gender, if they had absolutely zero concept, instead of an alpha male and female pair, you'd get and alpha pair with 2 males or 2 females, because they have zero concept and can't tell the difference between the genders.
Alrighty then...how about lionesses, hyenas, bonobos, and the other animal groups that are headed up by the female?
Try again...
