Someone answered that question on the ycombinator thread. They included 
this video link:

I am not aware of any association between "alpha" and "man" because I 
hear both "alpha male" and "alpha female" in e.g. nature documentaries.

Aside: There was a thread on these forums where somebody was unhappy 
with the word "female" in "female programmers". I think they thought it 
was not a word suitable for humans. Well, I live in California and I can 
report that "female" is what these people use everywhere to mean 
"woman". Of course we can still argue whether it's suitable but it's in 
at least Californian English as of today.
