"Feminism was started by lesbians". Seriously? Is there any proof of that? And so what? Should women not get the same rights? There are several countries which tolerate domestic violence. A 15 year old was shot in the head because she campaigned for women's education. Nothing wrong with demanding equal rights. Even if a lesbian did that.

This comment says it all. He has done the same thing over & over but when told to try acting differently, he acts & sounds like a feminist. Nowhere did OP of that post say anything about Malala & other women not having an education. He's hamstering like a woman as well. Bloody hell.

im not saying i totally agree with him. im just pointing out that this was an article that woke me up.

[–]shakaldrogo2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Haha it's just a coincidence mate, not you. I copied the name & comment from the comments section. If you look, he's the 4th comment down from the top & the first "male" responder.

Good find though, great article.

Be careful not to fall into the quagmire of defending the Red Pill by claiming that it is about self-improvement. /r/seduction went that route, and look where it is now - knee -deep in feminist bullshit, apologizing for itself at every turn.

Part of "turning boys into men" is returning them to their natural state of dominance, giving women what's good for them because we know better than they do. Many opponents of the Red Pill call that de facto oppression, and the slippery nature of language will allow them to make a strong case if you stupidly choose to embroil yourself in a semantic battle.

Never argue, apologize, or justify what you do - just do it. If you absolutely must speak for your actions, appeal to outcomes, not ethics.

To be fair, I rarely defend TRP in other subs. If someone doesn't want the knowledge here, not my problem.

Self improvement is just a politically correct paint job over the real thing. That this is a place for men to gather and share ideas and concepts about how to survive and thrive in a feminized world.

[–]gg_s1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Self improvement is a side effect of TRP.

[–]TRP VanguardHumanSockPuppet1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No, self-improvement is the point of TRP. It's the central point. Turning your life around by accepting the truth and acting in observance of it.

But scurrying around defending TRP from people because we want their acceptance and approval - that's the problem. It's beta supplication. It's changing your veneer in the vain hope that people will approve and love you.

Self improvement is just a politically correct paint job over the real thing.

Right, and I'm saying fuck the paint job.

If you're building a car for a desert rally, you spend all of your time fine-tuning the engine, suspension, transmission - the parts that will get your car to the finish line.

You can paint your own car if you like. It won't make the car run faster, but maybe you have a plausible reason to hide what you are. But trying to arrange for free paint jobs for everyone participating in the fucking rally? That's an insane waste of energy that accomplishes nothing for anyone, least of all for yourself.

THE FUCKING TRUTH!

[–]Endorsed ContributorrebuildingMyself4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Haven't you heard? Empowering men in any way (even ways women and society benefit from indirectly) is literally Oppression

[–]Vergil3872 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

i know... but i didnt agree with his solution to the problem either. i mean i agree with him in the beginning when he express how feminism has practically destroyed our life as men but his solution is that we all should become insecure bad boys. which of course bad boys and mr nice guys are two sides of the same coin; they are both beta males.

but i was just pointing out that this was what helped me wake up and noticed how messed up women are now a days towards us men

Can you please post the text for archival purposes? Hate signups.
