Hi Already Red;

I've been 'Redpill' for quite some time, but only recently discovered Reddit and theredpill phenomena. By way of introduction to the group, I present a blog post I wrote 5 years ago, where I discuss many TRP and MGTOW topics long before finding the associated groups. There is nothing mind blowing to a Red Piller in there, but it makes an interesting read to see the one voice shouting into the wind. I'm very glad to have found other voices shouting the same thing.

Please enjoy.

Recently I have been reading a lot about the phenomenon of Manchildren. These are men who in their twenties and even thirties (or in my case 43) have not yet faced up to the traditional responsibilities of men such as getting married and starting families. Statistics abound showing that a couple of generations ago men were marrying and fathering children much earlier, as a demographic, than they do today.

I have a theory on how this came to be.

It was the feminists.

A few generations ago there was a clear division of roles between men and women. As it had been since Civilization first flourished, women handled the domestic aspects of things, while the men went out and hunted and tilled the fields and fought the wars. This all made sense. Women had the wombs. Men were irascible and liked mud.

For ten thousand years Civilization evolved apace. Finally, a century or three ago we had the Industrial Revolution. Machines suddenly made workers more productive and it didn't take long to figure out that a woman could work a machine as well, or sometimes even better, than a man. Those nimble little fingers could do things mens larger hands cannot.

Now there was a new niche- the machine worker- and both men and women could fill it. This sparked the notion that the old ways might be obsolete. Women were tired of being second class citizens, and they had a point. Equal pay for equal work, voting rights, that sort of thing.

And the pendulum began to swing. Fine folks like Susan B Anthony and Sacajawea led the way, figuratively and literally, and the pendulum swung further. Over a few generations women won battle after battle in their fight for equal rights, by proving themselves worthy.

But then a funny thing happened. A couple of generations ago, when the pendulums motion was clearly unstoppable a new breed of feminist was born. This one decided that every glass ceiling was breakable and that the traditional role of domesticity was no longer enough.

And sure enough they were right! Women make excellent administrators, engineers, tradespeople, politicians, and laborers too!

Yaaay! In our last election our choices came down to a black president or a woman vice president, and the black guys main opponent for the chance to run was a woman (reportedly). It's only a matter of time before President Palin breaks that final glass. You betcha.

So now you are a young guy. You probably grew up in a home where you were never spanked, where your mom not only had a suit but she made your dad cook and clean and help with the traditionally feminine domestic chores. You saw how your dad had no free time and then you were probably one of the families whose parents divorced so you watched your dad get kicked out of the home.

Now you are 24. You just graduated college with some sort of computer degree and have never held a job thanks to bank of Mom and Dad. You get a Playstation, a cable hookup and a big screen TV. You cannot find a job because, let's face it, the women are more ambitious, and you have porn so who needs a girlfriend anyhow? They cry a lot and don't forget, your dad is still paying child support on your younger brother. Don't want that! So it's Playstation and porn, beer and bonghits all day and night.

And now you are a 24 year old woman growing up in post feminist America. You decry the phenomena of manchildren. But here is a secret. Men are just boys who had no choice but to grow up. None of us wanted to. We wanted to play army and ride bikes forever, with Mom and Dad handling all the worrying.

Generations ago our young grew up fast. In the early part of the last century we sent two entire generations off to fight World Wars. They grew up at 18, and came home MEN. We needed them to do a very dirty job. As it had always been, we sent the young men off to war.

Today's young men get a different message. They grow up in daycare because mom is off to work, and see (usually) first hand how divorce sucks. Men are evolutionarily disadvantaged to rear children yet are obliged to take on the job...then lose a custody battle that leaves them indigent. Men are not needed. They are disenfranchised. They have had everything laid out for them, so unless it means finding Zelda's secret passage, they are incapable of initiative.

Modern culture personifies the myth with shows like the 2 1/2 Men, where Mr Nice Guy dad (Alan) gets screwed repeatedly, and Mr Dickhead (Charlie) is a super rich party guy who scores on every episode without a care in the world, except for his loser brother, Mr Nice Guy....

Who the heck wants that?

Here's the deal, folks. Men need to feel needed. In the Caveman days men didn't want to go out hunting mastodons and fighting sabre toothed tigers, but it needed doing and we were clearly the best suited for the job. We would MUCH rather have stayed home painting cave walls and playing Nintendo. Except maybe when all the women in the tribe were on their periods, then I bet we went hunting. But I digress.

Someone had to find food, and someone needed to raise babies. Women had the wombs and boobies. Men were stronger and faster. Neener neener, you gotta go our hunting while we stay home all snug and warm in our bearskin blankets...

Now nobody needs to hunt. Women want all the jobs. Men are not needed.

Yet evolution plays it's tricky hand. Ten thousand years of civilization, and a Brazilian years of evolution before that means women need men for at least ONE thing. Babies. We got you there! But hey. If you want all the jobs and have the wombs and all you need is some sperm now and again, well terrific! Give us a ring when you are ready. You know right where to find us, in our apartment, with our big screen TV, wanking to porn between games of Halo2.

When you realize running a rat race through a concrete jungle actually sucks- well let us know. We'd love to feel needed too. Give us back our manhood and we'll take it. We'll man up. Until then, thank Gloria Steinem for your sickly dating pool.

"To be completely woman you need a Master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him, it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long." -attributed to Marlene Dietrich

Feminism is about choice, and equal rights under the law. That does not make us equal in capabilities. Yay. Women get to vote. Yay, women can work if they want to. Yay, they want to. Now I'm going to go play WoW.
