"As a man, if your reflexive response to the thought of your son dying is crying rather than anger it’s because your female teachers taught you which emotion to prioritize. " Rollo Tomassi in response to Andrew Yang crying

Here we have Rollo Tomassi, the godfather of TRP, implying that if a man behaves in a stereotypically feminine way, it must be because he was brainwashed by the feminine imperative.

Are there some psychological differences between the genders? I'm personally inclined to believe so. However, people like Rollo Tomassi consistently imply, or even outright state, that men and women are more different than similar and that they think in completely different ways. Anyone who behaves out of the ordinary was in reality brainwashed by the "feminine imperative". He also thinks that the idea that people have a feminine and a masculine side is "outrageous" and this is the basis on which he attacks Jung. He has said that people don't have a masculine and a feminine side because men and women are wired differently. (which completely ignores that even masculine men sometimes behave in a feminine way and vice versa)

This makes no sense. First of all, outside of the progressivist bubble , nobody is encouraging men to be more feminine. It's the opposite. It's much more likely that you will be shamed for being a feminine man or a masculine woman. Second of all, masculinity and femininity are a spectrum to a great extent. Yes, biology does play a role, but the idea that men are rigidly masculine and women are rigidly feminine is nonsense. There are many people who are a mix of both.

Rollo Tomassi implies all the time that most male problems, like male suicide, are caused because the feminine imperative encourages men to be less masculine. (example a https://twitter.com/RationalMale/status/1045712653933375490 ) That's nonsense. You have to be living inside a bubble to seriously believe that most men are encouraged to be feminine.

I'm baffled about why Red Pillers take this person so seriously. I keep reading his blog and he barely provides real evidence for his claims, yet he implies that he's the "scientific one" while his opponents are "Purple Pillers" and "blank slatists".
