One thing that doesn't get talked about as much as other things concerning the red pill is their irrational hate for stepfathers.

Imagine a guy who finds a great woman who is interested in a relationship and that woman has kids from a previous relationship. He builds a relationship with her and her kids. He raises those kids. He feels like their father and they feel like his kids. They're all happy and have healthy normal relationships with each other.

Normal individuals will look at that guy and be very happy for him. They might even be jealous. He's living a happy and fulfilling life. It may not be the ideal traditional life, but it ends up in the same place, a happy family.

By contrast red pillers will say this guy is a cuck. He's "stuck raising someone else's kids." He's a "beta who has to settle for someone else's leftovers." And any other bullshit their warped perception can come up with.

How messed up is that? How utterly ridiculous is it to look at that stepfather's life and not only judge it as shameful, but somehow twist your mind such that the biodad who isn't around for his kids or his ex is somehow the one to aspire to in that situation?

Of course, in reality and outside such hypotheticals being a parent is difficult and being a step-parent has its own additional challenges. I would never judge anyone for not wanting to take those challenges on. But, to those that do, more power to them. It can be a very lovely life for the right people.

It really shows just how warped the red pill is at it's core. How all of their fake evolutionary psych mumbo jumbo leads to such ridiculous conclusions.

And sometimes I read someone go on about how the red pill has some truth to it, minus all the misogyny, and I think of this. Any ideology that leads to such ridiculous conclusions doesn't have any truth to it. It's at best a "broken clock that's 'right' twice a day." Sure, working out more and cleaning yourself up can improve your self esteem and chances with women, but that's small potatoes compared to all the harmful gibberish these guys package along with that.

I have a suspicion that a lot of the older red pill gurus, the ones who openly talk about being divorced, are secretly very jealous of their ex's new boyfriends and husbands. And for some of them those ex's boyfriends and husbands are raising their kids. They see some guy living the life that would have be theirs if they weren't abusive ass hats, and they come up with a story to make themselves feel better. That guy who's raising there kids and in a relationship with their ex, he's gotta be lesser man. They're bullies at their core, and that's how they cope with their own abject failure.
