In my time with the MRM I've found that the reification of male intrasexual competition. Feminists have managed to promote female homosocial bonding, even if only at face value. Women support other women (again, at least at face value). They will compliment each other, lift each other when down, soothe them.

Progressives speak of men's issues like mental health and emotional/social support in the abstract, but we all know that many are largely indifferent or outright callous to them in practice.

My experience with a lot of MRAs and particularly right wing tradcons on the other hand has been a desire to

a) remind me that hierarchy exists, should exist, men and women can and should live different experiences, and everybody who opposes this is weak

b) try and mentor me almost as a father to a son, basically to get me to man up so I need support less and am sufficiently high status to not complain about hierarchy. In a few cases this has literally been invitation to a military boot camp to weed out my neuroticism and effeminate tendencies.

There are exceptions but this is the rule.

I am convinced that at the psychological level it is men's unwillingness to support each other and, obviously, the gynocentric tendency to not only protect women but focus attention on attracting them, to fight other them if necessary, that leaves so many of us feeling alienated and without purpose. There are obviously legal and material issues but I am not sure we can even work on these at a grassroots level without raising men's self esteem.

Critically when I speak of support, I am not simply talking about indulging in vents about hypergamy, gynocentrism, the empathy gap. This is all part of the redpill rage process. I am talking about fostering and maintaining solid friendships (and yes in some cases relationships) with men, loyalty and bonds. When I first looked into MGTOW there was a lot of advice about specific relationship issues, like handling narcissistic women; that's largely gone out of the window now in favour of rage and even blackpill rants.

On the whole, a lot of men don't want to promote solidarity or affection with one another. I'm especially confused when some MRA-MGTOW complain about male disposability but in the same breath discourage male homosocial bonding.

How can we change this? Why did King culture fail?
