This article is based on a comment reply I made in a thread here answering the question
"why do people hate the red pill?"
Not wanting that post to get buried within the murky depths of Reddit for the rest of time, I have built upon it and adapted it into a far more easily locatable article. Seeing as the question posed and answer given are typical of those who are on the fence, or otherwise "not sure what all that red pill jazz is about" I've put it under the "introduction to the red pill" section of my site. Enjoy.
The newly adapted article can be found here:

Opening excerpt:
Asking “why do people hate the red pill?” is like asking “why do feminists hate anti-feminists?” it is simple, we are viewed as “the opposing team.” By reading red pill content you become aware of the masculine’s unfiltered societal viewpoint. By agreeing with it, you accept a system of thought which undermines the gynocentric status quo of feminine primacy. Thus it is so that through mere act of association with the manosphere, devoutly feminist society deems you sinfully tainted.
The church of feminism will tolerate no blasphemous dissent, for anything that disagrees with feminism is by its own interpretation, misogynistic. By asserting the masculine viewpoint as primary, or even, a valid counterpoint to the feminist viewpoint, you are immediately identified as a misogynist. This means the rabid social justice horde that currently passes for “society” is out to hang your head on a pike merely for having a different set of beliefs. Expressions of thought incongruent with the feminist narrative are so socially unacceptable in the current time that they are deemed invalid merely by merit of being non-feminist, let alone anti-feminist. It is the job of both feminists and their enablers to prevent unfiltered masculine ideas on gender from “polluting” the mainstream consciousness. The societal hive mind therefore rationalises away anti-feminist argument as “backwardly patriarchal,” meaning: irrelevant, bigoted and outdated. You will then hear, at some point among the verbal cacophony that will invariably occur that “people like you are the reason feminism exists.” The reality is, the reason men even seek out the manosphere and its wealth of knowledge to begin with is because of the gross negative impact that feminism has had on them as well as those around them.
