Red Pill "rage"

Three and a half years ago I was scrolling through Youtube when I came across a video labeled "How to Train a Woman" by Rich Cooper. Intrigued and slightly irritated, I decided to watch the video. This was the worst mistake of my life...

As a woman with ADHD, one of my downfalls is doing things in excess which is how I ended up spending the next three years researching my obsession, the Red Pill.

Throughout most of my life, I was an extremely quiet and sweet woman, maybe even a little bit of a pushover. This quickly changed! The Red Pill community fixed my timidness and turned me into exactly what they had advertised...an alpha...in other words, a cold-hearted bitch. My self-esteem took a major hit and I began hating men, even my husband. I hated that men viewed us as sex objects. I hated that they only loved us conditionally. I hated that as a 30+ woman with children, I was worthless according to their standards. As Rollo's sexual market value graph pointed out...I had zero value. I felt worthless. I tried to convince myself that this was "Red Pill Rage" but this rage never seemed to subside. The more I dug into this community, the more my heart hardened. Every day for those three years I tried to convince these content creators and followers that women are more than objects. That love is unconditional. That if you truly love someone, there's no need to control every aspect of that relationship, or as Rich would gift wrap this term as "holding frame"

I was engulfed in this "cult-like" group...when one day it finally hit me, I came across an article about power & control related to domestic violence. I realized that the Red Pill beliefs and emotional abuse go hand-in-hand. That I was obsessed because emotionally, I was being toyed with. My mission to convince these strangers of a woman's worth was because I had developed low self-esteem. I realized it was impossible to have a conversation with men that met you with blame-shifting behavior. Men that try to convince women they're too emotional to think straight, that they're not capable of logical thinking. That they're brainwashed by feminism...funny considering the source. Being told an attractive woman is an agreeable, feminine woman. Gaslighting at its finest.

 My goal is to warn men & women about the damage this group can inflict on your opinion of the opposite sex. Emotional abuse can be packaged to appear as normal behavior.  However, men that feel the need to incorporate the "soft-next" as a method to correct bad behavior in women, is an abuser. The silent treatment is abuse. Constantly putting a woman down to keep them under your thumb, is abuse. Isolating a woman from certain friends and locations is abuse. Using male privilege to get away with double standards, is abuse.  

Before you dive into the rabbit hole that is the matrix, please take this warning to heart. It's not just an innocent video about how to spin plates. Its tutorials on how to emotionally manipulate women as a "high value" man. Hate is not a temporary reaction to learning the uncomfortable truth about women... it's a red flag.
