Never ask a redpiller what feminism is, never ask a feminist what redpillers are. Never ask a Democrat what a Republican is, never ask a Republican what a Democrat is. When one party defines itself by how bad the other party is, they don't have much to stand on. That will always be true.

I'm very much an alpha, whether I wanted to be or not, but I identify very well with feminism. I really haven't been involved in this cultural stuff for over a decade (I'm 37) and I just got on Reddit recently. Things have changed. It seems there's more whining about what the other side is doing than I recall, and that goes for both sides.

From a man's point of view, feminism is simply the belief that people are welcome to be what they are and everyone is equal. Lesbians and gay men clearly don't have the same rules for engagement as Redpillers do, and I've dated plenty of Alpha women without being remotely emasculated. I never understood how a man could call himself an alpha and be emasculated by a strong woman, just tells me he's not really an alpha. I've never had an issue with being a Dom in BDSM with any women who were feminist either. And some people like to be dominant in society and submissive in the bedroom, male and female. I say to each their own, I am personally dominant by nature.

My only advice to you is to stop listening to one side tell you about the other. Ask red/blue pillers who they are, and don't EVER think that they represent the majority of their side either. I can guaranfuckingtee you that modern feminism has been skewed into sub-cultures that no longer represent the whole. The basic idea of feminism is right, and it doesn't take away from men being strong in any way. It just says that if women want to be strong alphas, or submissive, gay, straight, whatever that's their call. Same with men. The real definition of feminism is equality, not judgments on life choices. If someone is judging you because you fit a general stereotype, they're doing feminism wrong. The problem is when you try to impose YOUR stereotypes on other people's lives. That, again, goes for both sides.

But that's just my 2 cents.

Doh! Meant to put this in another thread. Oh well, here it stays.

[–]BakerofpieEndorsed Contributor 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree with most of these, because I've met many similar types. Some of them I think are twisted by women who constantly have their panties in a bunch and are on a constant lookout for any hint of sexism, determined to find it whether it's actually there or not. It's annoying and unattractive when men can seem to talk about nothing but how awesome they are, or are so pussy hungry that they literally cannot speak of anything else and get way too presumptuous about it. But if these women think some of these tactics don't work it's because they've never met a man who used them properly, or they didn't even notice that a man was doing it because he was doing it so well.

[–]tryanotherJuanEndorsed Contributor[S] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Because you are a mean, ungrateful bitch!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Yes, some of these are genuinely annoying, but this sounds like her personal list. Each person is annoyed by different things. So what?

This is definitely why guys don't want to try or just don't try to impress women anymore. They whine about every display of "check me out," unlike the rest of the animal kingdom, where males often have to be showy to get the females.

unlike the rest of the animal kingdom, where males often have to be showy to get the females.

Love that last part; if we allowed our nature to reasonably guide us (the opposite of what feminism wants us to do) we would be a lot less contradictory and unsatisfied with life.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I agree.

Our nature is there for a reason! We have the tools to use it wisely when many people would rather say "Just ignore it because we're better than animals; therefore, we don't need it."

[–]CopperRaccoon 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

"Just ignore it because we're better than animals; therefore, we don't need it."

you are right; I believe the only thing that separates us from animals is our creativity and higher consciousness:

We do the same 'nasty' things that they do and I always saw proper human families (including my own) similar to wolf packs - with the ALPHA MALE in charge.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yup!

Note: We are still animals despite being highly functioning.

Sure, they shouldn't need to, but men and women both show off to grab the opposite sex's attention in a variety of ways but appearance (clothing, hair, body type) and attitude (personality) are the major players in attraction. Everything else is secondary.

If we didn't bother trying, it would be difficult to attract a partner. We cater to whatever desires our favored partner has (or we try, anyway) so that they'll pay attention to us rather than the competition. For women, this is more passive (just look good, basically and have a decent personality (assuming for a relationship)). For men, it requires actual strategy (the proper approach, looking good, and personality).

Some men just do it "wrong" or some women don't like that kind of showing off. It's really about finding what you like and finding that partner who knows proper attraction techniques.

The muffin shop immediately closed its doors until further notice over that little chestnut. I’m wasn’t fucking creepy uncle that night.

Whoever this woman is, she deserves a literary gold medal for this description.
