You might appreciate this last point better when I tell you that a rough synonym for the 20s Harlem male-male label wolf was man - which obviously must in this context be understood as metaphorical (some males in this context were men other males were either punks or fairies) more on these label vs. The first case, which involves labels for particular categories of male-male sexuality, will require some care, since the labels are so bound to specific contexts and are mostly drawn from ordinary language, but used in specialized ways. The first context is from working-class Harlem of the 1920s the second from recent alpha male self-help / self-improvement literature aimed at striving American middle-class, largely professional, men.
