How did you find this community and what made you decide it was for you? Or was it just a name for how you'd always felt?

I found it after seeing it mentioned on reddit. I love reading up on controversial topics so I had to check it out of course! At first I agreed with the general negative opinions, but there was enough that I would see and think to myself "yeah... That's true..." that I kept coming back. After exploring some other parts (mmsl, red pill wifey, etc) I liked it enough to join in on the fun :)

I pretty much found it through my SO, I've known about TRP for a while, and sometimes read the stuff there, but really couldn't bring myself to be involved with the community. I felt, at best, unwelcome there. When redpillschool created this offshoot, I was greatful, because it was a community of like minded individuals.

I found it via RedPillWifey's blog. This Reddit, that is. I found out about Red Pill via the Red Pill Room blog which I saw my husband reading one day after he Googled something like "masculinity".

Or was it just a name for how you'd always felt?

This is exactly it for me.

What is this?

I found it to name some of what I've always known. The real attraction, for me, is the strong bias on reality. Just getting people to focus on that is a large enough feat to be worthy.

I found it a little over two years ago and it just sounded so good to have a strong, guiding hand through life. I had always been the one to run the relationship, because it was expected of me throughout society, and I didn't know any better. We were spinning our wheels for decades.

My husband and I were always equals and partners and it didn't work out as well. Yesterday he said, "We were partners and we were a pretty good team, but what I didn't realize until recently is that every team needs a leader."

So simple. Now I feel like we are on a forward path instead of rowing around in circles.

My boyfriend just introduced me to this community today. I have already read two articles that have made me cry. Why? Because they put into words things I have FELT for a long time, but until now, I didn't have the means OR vocabulary to put them into a communicable format.

There are some very outspoken feminists in my life, and I often feel alienated by them because there is no space in their world for MY experiences and thoughts. Especially when it comes to submission. My boyfriend linked me directly to a wonderful thread reddit that opened up a world of new understanding to me. I am naturally submissive to the people in my life that I respect and trust...but this behavior (when applied to a man) was always met with backlash. I have been told that I need to act a certain way, EVEN IF it is contrary to my personality, and that being true to myself rendered me ignorant, simple, invalid as a modern woman and weak.

I see views and opinions and explanations here that allow me to breathe easier, and feel connected. A tremendous weight has been lifted from my chest and suddenly-- I see myself more clearly.

I am so elated and thankful right now. I have never spent any time on Reddit (or any of the sub-Reddits), but scanning over a few of the threads here was enough to compel me to create an account JUST so I could submit this comment.
