Men of Iron

Well, every website that claims to talk about biblical masculinity will claim to have some unique insight on what it means to be a "true man." Even RPC.

But talking about men's issues, and even supporting men in a modern feminist culture doesn't make something "red pilled." Noobs do this all the time - "My church is pretty red pilled." Why? "Because they believe in biblical marital roles, headship, etc." Okay, but that's not what the red pill is.

Yes, but I struggle to tell a major difference between Redpilled agenda and things that are posing as a roadblock to the female imperialists imperative. One is going in the backdoor (making a man more capable of handling the current feminist climate) the other the front door (making the environment easier for confused or idealistic men to succeed.)

The red pill is inherently an understanding of intersexual relational dynamics as they actually function, rather than how people say they function. That's all. It is not a prescription on how a person ought to behave. You can do with that knowledge what you will.

I am still not convinced that red pill doesnt extend further than just intersexual dynamics. While I'm still getting the ropes of RP, I can see how the transformation from a bp guy to a RP Man would do more for than just help him with his wife/potentials. I've seen it help me in my own faith, same-sex relationships, my leadership ability and in my community. I think you're underselling the faith-based approach to redpill and what it could do. At some point I'll probably make a post outlining my thoughts/ideas, and I'd appreciate your criticism on it greatly.

However, just as with "faith," it's 99% probable that if someone doesn't adjust their behaviors because of what they believe about Christ, they probably don't have actual, real faith; and if someone doesn't adjust how they relate with women based on what they learn from the red pill, they probably haven't actually swallowed the pill, despite having some rote intellectual awareness of the ins and outs of it all.

Agreed. No comment.

So, if a guy claims to have red pill awareness, but still holds onto his blue pill hopes and dreams, or otherwise doesn't seem to live up to any rational implications of red pill knowledge, he is at best purple - or in faith terms, "luke warm," claiming to have knowledge of God and to be a believer, but not actually living up to it in practice most of the time. It's playing games instead of playing the game.

Even the demons recognize Jesus is Lord, yet christ didn't come to die for them. Christ has a naughty little propensity for calling a spade a spade, don't he.

So, before calling another organization "red pilled," I'd want to know: are they aware of things like fitness tests? Do they realize that things like AA or fogging or whatnot are effective conflict resolution tactics that increase respect and attraction, or are they using other methods that are less effective? Do they know the difference between a "nice guy" and a "good man"? These types of questions and more are what give greater insight into just how "aware" the organization's communicators are about how intersexual relational dynamics actually function today. Simple puff pieces for men mean squat in deciding if someone is red pilled. It doesn't mean it's unimportant; it's just distinct from being red pilled.

In tandem with what I mentioned earlier, I believe RPC has a chance to outline more expectations for a Christfollowing man than what is currently credited to it. I believe you would be hard pressed to find quality content that is both Biblically sound, and not-RP'd. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Im realizing my response may have been unnecessary. Let me know and I'll delete it.
