The Red Pill claim that modern women are “not held accountable” is completely bogus.

It is a common sentiment in RP circles that women “aren’t held accountable” in modern society. But not only is this false but RP men also often hold women accountable for men’s actions, thereby absolving men of their wrong doing.

For instance if a man is violent and it turns out he does well with women, RP men will blame women for “choosing badly” and encouraging said man to be violent or dangerous. On the flip side if a man is violent and it turns out that he is constantly rejected by women (and perhaps has never even been with a woman) RP men will argue that it’s women’s fault because rejecting said man made him angry and disillusioned. In either situation there is a way to rationalize the man’s bad behavior as being the fault of women which shows that such reasoning is in fact biased and meant to absolve men instead of holding them accountable.

Now I understand such takes really only exist in RP spaces, out here in the “Blue Pill” world we rightfully hold violent men accountable for their violent actions but it seems as though RP men consider holding men accountable as “not holding women accountable” because they hold women accountable for the actions of men. And while in the past it was common for women to be blamed for “tempting” men—women were often more policed and punished for being “sexually immoral”—in our modern times this is less so the case. Still even to this day women can rarely use “temptation” as an excuse for anything they do. (A wealthy man pursuing a woman and showering her with gift’s isn’t “tempting her” but a woman posting a bikini pic on instagram is “tempting” men). The very fact that temptation is almost never an excuse for women but is commonly an excuse for men just shows that women are actually not less likely to be held accountable than men are.

RP men simply confuse women being scapegoated less for men’s wrong doings (a result of modern society being more progressive, feminist and less patriarchal) as women “not being accountable”. Classic case of, to the oppressor equality feels like oppression.
