1	The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein I haven't read Starship Troopers in a long time, but I don't remember him putting women on the pedestal. Acknowledging that men and women are good at different things seems at least somewhat in line with RP observations and certainly doesn't qualify as idolizing women. I do remember the book primarily as an examination of the virtue acquired from military service and how that acquired virtue, in Heinlein's mind, would affect the decisions of those in government. Women are absolutely idolized in …	/r/RedPillBooks	28/08/14 07:24 AM
1	Older women tend to be bitter and psycho Because women are predisposed to strategically deny their own agency when confronted with prior poor choices, making it important to remember to hold women accountable for those choices. For us, that holding to account does often just mean the next button. You're right that my distinction doesn't have much meaning for a consequentialist reading of the cars analogy. And I do appreciate the comparison; I wouldn't have used it myself for dry comic effect otherwise. I'm just sticking up for cars, ma…	/r/TheRedPill	22/08/14 11:33 PM
4	Older women tend to be bitter and psycho It's not that used cars are a horrible investment and new cars are a good one. New cars are a bad investment also. Almost no good available worldwide today will depreciate in value as quickly as a car. Of course, if you buy a car new and run it into the ground, you'll probably get your money's worth on the upfront price. And some places in the world make it impractical or even professionally and socially debilitating not to have a car. Am I talking about women? Possibly. The big difference here,…	/r/TheRedPill	22/08/14 07:32 PM
5	How has TRP impacted your relationship with your mom or sister(s)? Something not often discussed here is that mothers will shit test their own children. I see a lot of guys complaining (not you) about how their mothers filled their heads with all the BP nonsense, but I don't think all those mothers were being vindictive. For most it is instinctive shit testing and for a few -- those who acknowledge RP truths when their children are men -- it is trying to inoculate their male children against the shit testing they will inevitably encounter. A big part of growing…	/r/TheRedPill	22/08/14 04:37 AM
1	The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein ...Which is why I describe the stilyagi, the ones who were going to eliminate Stu, as "half way between blue pill swallowing orbiters and overly obvious pick up artists." Mannie, our narrator, doesn't view these youths positively. Heinlein describes a world which, as a prison colony, has a severe gender imbalance. I think he also describes very soberly the customs which evolved to deal with that imbalance. I wouldn't restrict "red pill" books to those which explicitly endorse RP ideas (although …	/r/RedPillBooks	05/08/14 04:54 AM
1	How to exit the Friendzone. Heartiste's posts are better, more direct. But this thread's original post communicates the core idea: be ready to walk away from anything or anyone you can't have on your own terms.	/r/TheRedPill	04/08/14 07:40 PM
1	The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein Even within the matriarchal parts of lunar society, Heinlein's female characters will use ruthlessly any man who can't hold his frame and demonstrate masculinity (value). I'm thinking in particular the young loonie women followed around by packs of young male "stilyagi," who serve her but are aggressive toward anyone else. They sit somewhere about half way between blue pill swallowing orbiter and overly obvious pick up artist.	/r/RedPillBooks	04/08/14 07:30 PM

2	A woman attacks a man with a weapon. The man trips her in self-defense. The man is portrayed as the attacker. One of the things I took away from training in Judo throughout my youth, equally valuable to all the physical techniques and their precise, logical categorizations, was the phrase my sensei stressed at the beginning and end of each lesson: "Begin and end all things with courtesy." He did not speak of courtesy in the western sense of supplication to the needs of others, or in the eastern sense of self effacing negotiations (often over gifts) which leave everyone involved ultimately unhappy. He sp…	/r/TheRedPill	04/08/14 07:01 PM
