I would like to first thank this community for upholding a standard of honest dialogue not seen in many of the other subreddits, nor most of the internet for that matter. Having missed many opportunities with women because of my former blue pill mindset, and suffering in unhealthy relationships because of it, I am personally grateful for the collection of knowledge and quality posters in this sub.
On to my point: Like many people first attracted to TRP, I was beat down by my experiences with women and was beginning to find myself distrustful, and even resentful of them as I began to understand their nature. I was consistently disappointed by what I saw as a lack of intellectualism, honor, and honesty in the women I had once felt very close to. If there is one thing that this sub is mischaracterized for, it is "mysogny", a word that literally means "hatred of women". You might not like hearing this, but I believe that many of our new members DO hate women, or at least think they do when they first join this sub. However, TRP has taught me something completely different. TRP has taught me to love women again.
How could this be true? A superficial analysis of this sub gives one the impression that half of it's mission is to reveal the true, ugly nature of women: their lack of loyalty (hypergamy), their dishonesty (trickle truths), their opportunism (alpha fux, beta bux), and more upsetting aspects of their sexual strategies.
From a blue pill perspective, these truths are unsettling, and you're angry that you've been lied to and have been lying to yourself about women your whole life. The problem can be put simply: You've been holding women up to a male standard.
When you hold women up to the standard you hold for yourself and for your friends, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. This is not to say that women are less "noble" or "virtuous" than men, it is to say that they are different and that holding them up to a standard incongruent with their nature is unfair to yourself and to them.
The parable of the scorpion and the frog comes to mind. For those who are unfamiliar, the parable is about a scorpion who requests a ride on the back of a frog across a pond. The frog at first denies the scorpions request, telling him that he fears he will be stung by the scorpion. The scorpion reasons with the frog that if he would not sting him, for if he were to, they would both sink and drown in the pond. The frog agrees to take the scorpion across the pond on his back and midway across the scorpion stings the frog and as paralysis sits in, they begin to sink. The frog asks the scorpion why he would sting and doom them both, and the scorpion replies "Because it is my nature". This applies to TRP: Blue Pill mysogyny stems from a lack of understanding, or a refusal to accept, the nature of women.
Before TRP, I wanted a woman who would take a bullet for me, and I for her. I wanted a woman who would support me when I was weak. I wanted a woman who would be loyal to me out of a sense of honor despite better prospects and opportunities with other potential mates.
I no longer seek these things in a woman, because I understand now that women are rational actors. (Most) women are biologically programmed to find a mate with the greatest genes (alpha fux) and also secure a provider (beta bux). They operate in predictable ways (as do men) to ensure their evolutionary success. Hypergamy, alpha fux/beta bux, trickle-truth, and other Red Pill observations are all rational actions by women to ensure the successful production and raising of children.
I love women. I love their grace, motherliness, gentleness, attentiveness to social dynamics, and presentation. I love women more than I ever have because I understand them better than I ever have and I no longer hold them up to male standards (as I do not hold my friends up to female standards).
Blue Pill misogyny is the exact same bullshit line of thought as new feminist misandry. It stems from a misunderstanding of, or refusal to accept, the inherent differences of men and women. When we understand our differences, and hold each other up to appropriate standards, man and woman can peacefully coexist as they have for millennia.
I'll leave you all with the final interview of Lakota activist Russel Means, where he and his wife discuss the importance of gender roles. This is ancient wisdom, and I hope you appreciate the relevance to TRP.
