After I read a red pill comment today about how men become more logical as they age, while women remain in touch with their emotional side, I wondered what happens to women after menopause, when their baby-making mind shuts down. What I found inadvertently verifies several truths about old, angry feminists and their attempts to change the younger generation before they too hit what I'll call the second wall:

For the 150,000 American women who enter menopause each month, neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine, MD, has cheering news: "The change will set you free." That counterintuitive tone informs her new book, The Female Brain, which has sparked controversy for its stance that there are measurable brain differences between men and women and that hormones maintain those differences.

Of course, we already knew this, but the article goes on:

"It may not be politically correct, but it’s biologically true," says Brizendine, who has run the Women’s Hormone Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco, for 12 years. The decline in hormones that comes with menopause, she argues, allows us to stop putting others’ needs before our own, sometimes for the first time in our lives. Here, she explains how — and why — menopause is the beginning of a brave new way of thinking.

Apparently, evil biology forces women to put the needs of other's before their own, because the needs of her children outweigh the needs of her own. However, what women do you know who actually follows this biological narrative? It seems to only applied to women with children. If I read this correctly, pre-menopause women are not selfish by nature, but because of current sociological trends within the Western hemisphere, e.g, feminism, women are told by older feminists to act more selfish earlier in life to prepare themselves for the second wall. Now it makes sense why most feminist are either old or dykes, their brain chemistry is fundamentally different from their younger generation. So what changes?

Before menopause, the brain is constantly triggered by and reacting to the needs of others, particularly children and husbands. As you go into menopause, the highs and lows of estrogen and progesterone that have been cycling through your brain since puberty come to an end. That means your brain is on a more continuous footing, hormone-wise. Note that I’m not saying "more stable" footing, because that implies that previous to menopause you weren’t stable.

Very smooth save there, doctor. But again, what changes?

From puberty to menopause, a woman walks a fine line between making sure she’s at the center of her relationships and risking pushing those relationships away through anger or aggression. The urge to walk this line doesn’t stop until the hormone supply that fuels it is cut off, which happens in menopause. As the ratio of testosterone to estrogen rises, the anger pathways in a woman’s brain become more like a man’s. Now she gets angry, whereas before she may have just bitten her tongue. At the very least, she’ll stand up for herself and say, "I’m not doing that anymore."

So menopause causes a woman to "wake up" from an eternal sleep, which turns her into a different person who takes less shit from others. For example, instead of worrying about the consequences that divorce has on the family, a menopausal woman will focus more on her needs than that of a dysfunctional marriage. Pretty crazy stuff. As you can imagine, this affects men immensely:

After menopause, [...] Women are more interested in others taking care of themselves. The tugs they used to feel at their heartstrings to care for children lessen. One patient was shocked to find herself only half-listening to the minute details of her daughter’s life when she called from college, whereas before she had hung on every word. When her daughter was out of the house, that urge was no longer being fueled. The brain circuits are still there, but in menopause, the fuel for running the highly responsive engine that tracks the emotions of others begins to run dry. That causes a major shift in how a woman perceives her reality.

Basically, woman turn into heartless brutes after menopause - they become a more egotistical, self-centered shell of their former self. But hey, it gets worse - or better if you're a feminist. The author goes on to say that after menopause, women find themselves redefining their relationships with their husbands. And the most relevant part of the article referring to one client yelling at her husband with more frequency during menopause:

Clearly she had legitimate complaints about him, but truthfully, he hadn’t changed; she was changing. She was being less of a victim, getting angry, and it was causing friction. Since this couple had never learned to resolve their disagreements, she had to take the more drastic step and separate from him for a while. Other women may just need to go out and do something for themselves: get a degree, change to a more satisfying career, take up a new hobby that’s just for them. Sylvia started working on a master’s in social work. These clients’ stories are very common. After the age of menopause, 65 percent of divorces are initiated by women, not men; the phrase "after menopause" is the key here. The government statistics don’t say that. They say "after age 50," and that’s one year before the average age of menopause.

Sounds like women are forced to swallow a red pill of their own, but they get to wait until their fifties. The cold truth that you're no longer a baby making machine literally rewires your brain! Also, you may think you're safe in your marriage now, but wait until after menopause to ensure your marriage's longevity. All that abuse will come to the forefront and "redefine" the relationship once again, leading to the worse shit tests of your life under the guise of "finding oneself". It's just her hormones, fellas, she has no control.

And the kicker as to why no one talks about this:

It’s not politically correct. Nobody wants to say, "My brain circuits have changed, so now I’m not putting up with you." I was a typical 1970s feminist, and I thought all the problems of career women had to do with society and with how male-oriented the world and the workplace were. My research made me realize I had to be realistic about the biological data as well. Some publishers wouldn’t consider printing my book, because they disagreed with "difference feminism" — pointing out the differences between how boys and girls are wired. I’ve come to believe that talking about those differences can ultimately help girls and women. That’s the message of this book: How incredibly different the female brain is, especially in emotional memory and in reading the nuance of emotion. I had no idea — and part of me didn’t want to believe — that the data would turn out to show how much of a difference there is.

So much truth here. It's not politically correct, she was a 70s feminist, but had to reconcile her opinions with reality once the data came out differently. Publishers not publishing her work because they disagreed with her findings. And then hamstering to justify the how great this is for woman! It's no wonder +50 year old feminists lead the movement, they already experienced their "reawakening" (menopause) and want to prepare younger women for their eventually brain rewiring.

Of course, the doctor's final words solidify the purpose of TRP:

Understanding how brain chemistry affects the interactions between men and women can help us have more realistic expectations of each other.

So can swallowing the red pill early on in life and not buying into the popular feminist narrative spewed at us everyday.

The article.

TL;DR: Woman overcome a second wall known as menopause. Post-menopause, a woman's brain circuitry becomes more similar to men - selfish and egotistical. This might explain why older women push a counter-feminine narrative that advocates younger woman to be more career driven, like men. Pushing this narrative onto the younger generations helps lessen the severity of swallowing the feminine red pill a second time.

EDIT: I took a peak over at /r/TheBluePill and my post has the honor of facing their sophism and cognitive distance. I read through the comments to see what "mainstream" and SJW people would have issue with in my post and analysis, and maybe I can help put newer members with some simple explanations.

  • Most of their posts claim that TRPers wouldn't enjoy post menopausal women because they're more manly. If they took the time to read through the comments I address this:

I think the take away for post-menapausal women is that they're much more aware of themselves and understand their needs better than someone riding the cock carousel in their 20s and 30s. Since their brain rewires itself due to their lack of hormones, they're an arguably easier lay. Ever watched "The Graduate"? I'm not saying to go fuck cougars, but for a first lay or two, you'll be met with less shit tests, in part from lonely females whose husbands no longer love them, and in part from the rewiring of their brain. So in terms of practical advice, it's easier to lay a divorced women in her fifties than someone in your own age group. Sounds like Captain Obvious advice when phrased like that. Whether you want to fuck someone 50+ or not is another question, but I'll leave that up to you guys.

The usual advice and theory still applies for post-menapausal women, except the need to treat them like children everyday diminishes because they're not freaking out as much as their younger counterparts. I'd attribute this to a lack of menstral cycle. After menopause, women mature "logically", so if a marriage survives the erratic menopause period, then men will have probably found their life long partner. Still, maintaining frame, the usual LTR material and hypergamy still apply, but tone down to reflect the new brain rewiring.

So the main addition to the current framework is that older, single women past menopause know themselves better than their 20 year old counterparts and are easier lays. I'm sure this already made sense intuitively, but the article I cited backs up the brain changes. Also, think about retirement home and how much sex goes on there, so many lonely, STD ridden older folks.

  • Several commentors played killer semantics over what I wrote, or simply ignored what was written. I argued feminism wants women to go against their nurturing, egalitarian nature, and for pre-menopausal women this want doesn't make any sense because most of the female population are biologically wired to be "submissive, agreeable and cooperative", as /u/johnnight points out. Young woman want to find a man who she can feel this way and potentially raise a family. As she ages, however, she becomes less "desirable", because she loses her femininity and "pleasantness", largely from her hormonal changes which she has no control over. That's the crazy part - that in both men and women, hormones play a significant role in cognitive and emotional development.

  • Another Captain Obvious statement: men are generally not attracted to masculine behaviors in women, just as women are generally not attracted to feminine behaviors in men. Popular feminist rhetoric wants young women to believe that being a strong, independent, take-no-shit woman is desirable in the current SMP, but this isn't true. This makes it harder for them to find a man that lives up to her higher standards. Conversely, men don't want to date a girl "acting like a man", or phased differently, men don't want to date themselves. This may comes across as contradictory at first glance, but it boils down to this: men want to date feminine women who can control their mood swings and are not overly aggressive. Even though a woman's brain rewires itself after menopause to be more like a man, she is still a woman. She doesn't magically lose her vagina; rather, her crazy hormonal mood swings tone down significantly and she has a better balance/control over her actions and thought processes. This alone could make post-menopausal women very attractive to men; however, men are not as attracted to a girl's personality as he is her physical fitness. In terms of precedence, men prioritize a female's looks over her intelligence or net worth. It goes looks, personality, status then net worth. For woman, it goes status, net-worth, personality then looks.

  • Lastly, post-menopause, women no longer "bite their lips" and start developing more independent, masculine thought processes. My main point here is that the leaders of the feminist movement tend to be older woman who have a significantly difficult time baring children, post-menopausal women, or simply lesbians. Think Betty Friedan (~40) or Gloria Steinem (~35) during the Woman's Rights Movement of the late 60s and early 70s. Woman in this age group and gender are past their prime biological imperative and their hormones change to reflect this new reality. Babies are no longer a priority in their lives - at least not as much as raising a nuclear family. Feminist leaders want to push masculine behaviors into woman early on because they're thoroughly convinced that this is the "truer" reality of society. What they fail to see is that as they age, their biological imperatives change as well. As I already mention, this is why I think feminists are trying to convert young women early on to believe these "lies" because they soon become "truths" after hitting the first and second wall. Too bad men desire femininity and youth over this "older woman" narrative.

I personally believe the current trend for woman to start their careers young (~22), then starting a family in their late twenties/early thirties (28-32), take a break for a few years, and then reenter the work force when they're in their late thirties is counter productive for their life-long careers. A better method for career driven women would be to start a family in your early twenties, go to school by your early thirties, get your degrees and certifications and spend the rest of your life being happy with your new job and career opportunities without the pay stagnation brought about by taking children leave/multi-year break. By ignoring simply biological facts, career women are going to feel frustrated that they can't rise to the same level as their male CEO counterparts who never took a break in their careers. I argue that if women want both a career and family, its possible with my method, but it's not going to happen because feminist disregard biological reasoning and focus on sociological reasoning. This inadvertently places woman who want a family at odds with the popular feminist narrative. Also, there's a societal push to enter higher education directly after high school and finish university by your early twenties. Being a productive member of society was developed around male work ethic and biological needs, not around women. To have woman succeed in a system not developed around their biology doesn't make much sense.

Thanks Blue Pillers, you gave me more ideas to think about. Everything's starting to connect better!
