Juvenal 6 , commonly titled "The Ways of Women" in English, is a Latin poem written nearly 2000 years ago. Critics have described it as:
"not merely a diatribe against women, but an all-out invective against marriage... This decaying of Rome's social and moral standards has caused marriage to become the offspring of greed and corruption. Men have become weak, and allow women challenge male supremacy so that marital power relations now favor women."
Sounds a lot like today, huh? Here's a little snippet from the actual writing:
Never will you find a woman who spares the man who loves her; for though she be herself aflame, she delights to torment and plunder him. So the better the man, the more desirable he be as a husband, the less good will he get out of his wife. No present will you ever make if your wife forbids; nothing will you ever sell if she objects; nothing will you buy without her consent. She will arrange your friendships for you; she will turn your now-aged friend from the door which saw the beginnings of his beard"
"Crucify that slave!" says the wife. "But what crime worthy of death has he committed? " asks the husband; "where are the witnesses? who informed against him? Give him a hearing at least; no delay can be too long when a man's life is at stake!" "What, you numskull? You call a slave a man, do you? He has done no wrong, you say? Be it so; but this is my will and my command: let my will be the voucher for the deed." Thus does she lord it over her husband. But before long she vacates her kingdom; she flits from one home to another, wearing out her bridal veil; then back she flies again and returns to her own imprints in the bed that she has abandoned, leaving behind her the newly decorated door, the festal hangings on the walls, and the garlands still green over the threshold. Thus does the tale of her husbands grow; there will be eight of them in the course of five autumns----a fact worthy of commemoration on her tomb!
I linked the entire poem above if you'd like to read it and don't mind the heavy cultural references, but these few paragraphs alone tell so much. They show that female nature is indeed female NATURE, the same value-less behavior was going on in other societies thousands of years ago.
So, once again, we've allowed women equal opportunity to shape our society and culture, and have arrived at the same emasculating pit-fall as the Romans did. We're at a crossroads: we can allow the path we're on to continue and end up as they did, with their society slowly degrading until they were conquered by invading tribes of disorganized barbarians. Or: we can make a change, stand up for ourselves, and return to the values of the ancestors that carried us this far. The onus lies with you, with us.

For those that care, I found Redpill philosophy early on, and have deeply ingrained it in my worldview. Some of the best advice I have ever received is: "Learn the theory, then throw it all away". Once you have fully explored and absorbed the knowledge available here, you're not doing yourself much good by continuing to read it over and over and over again, ad nauseam. There comes a point where you need to step away, stop learning theory, and start integrating into real life. You will begin to see the philosophy you've learned manifested in real life, and will gravitate towards the writings, art, and actions that align with your worldview. Through this is how you truly change yourself, and the world. The awakening you've had will never go away.
