We talk a lot about women wanting Alphas and Chads, and how they are programed to be attracted to strong males. The press went out of their way to create a new "non-toxic" masculinity. Do you think this had an effect on women, especially white women?

Biology → Culture → Ideology.
Alphas and Chads are a result of biology (predominately genetic). Which informs culture and in turn ideology and never the other way round.
Think of it in the form of computers - the hardware you use determines the operating system which in turn determines the software you can use but the software can't communicate with hardware directly and you can't run an OS designed for say ARM on an x86 processor natively.
In terms of politics, Alphas and Chads can change culture and in turn ideology but you can't prop up un-masculine men in the hope of changing culture and biology.
ETA: A key aspect of this is the general observation known as Briffault's Law - "The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place". This observation of biology informs culture which informs ideology but never the other way round.
