I discovered the Red Pill Wives Reddit and I’m scared

I don’t understand how these people exist and now I’m scared we’re actually regressing as a society. Any thoughts on this? I’m really shocked.

Edit:

Okay to clarify, the women who are apart of Red Pill Wives are not simply women who enjoy being housewives. These are women who support and encourage other women to participate in things that are overtly sexist and abusive. One thread was about how to learn how to take criticism and not be offended by it. Another was learning how to have no control whatsoever of her finances. This isn’t a form of feminism whatsoever. It is blatant misogyny and the fact that women try to convert other women into this harmful ideology is what scares me. I was prompted to post this because I saw a question on the forum along of the lines of “Teenage ex-feminist looking for hell on how to transition into being a red pill wife”. Young girls, despite feminism’s attempts, are still being lured into this belief and practice. They are not happy, they are being actively abused. Why is it that they are so susceptible to this? I fear it’s the stereotypes attached to feminism and the overall negative perception of it. I hope this can change but I’m afraid it won’t.
