You will only be manipulated by women to the extent you allow them to. You know female nature now. Men have always dealt with this shit and a self actualized male doesn't resent it, but uses it to their advantage or at least knows how to circumvent it. I still find myself getting mad at the hypocrisy, double standards, lies, gaslighting, etc. of women, but this is how they are and always will be. I'm still projecting my own rational moral masculinity onto them or am still projecting my idealized blue pill expectation of women onto them. They are not this. They never will be this. We know this, but we need to truly accept it and it will lose it's power over us. It only sucks because we were living a fantasy or expecting one. If we knew the truth from the beginning, we wouldn't be upset about it so, in of itself, it's nothing worth being angry about. It's the shattering of the illusion that is rage inducing and not the reality we awaken to. Reality has never been better for a true man, if you live in a developed country. He needs can be easily met and satisfied and he is free to pursue what he wishes for with more free time than ever. As much as I loathe postmodernism, it has freed us. So grasp it and be free like no common man could do so before.
