... And WhereAreAllTheGoodMen... also a big shoutout to Alexander Grace and Stefan Molyneux.

Because it helps us understand men. If every woman was born with the ability to immediately understand what life was like for men, we wouldn't need RPW. We wouldn't need STFU or Captain/First Mate or have to be told that most men prefer domestic, sexually available, supportive virgins. In every other place on reddit, male speech is censored. Only in places like TRP will you find men willing to say things like "I will only ever marry a virgin". Even if it's not true for everyone, at least you're hearing an uncensored cross section of beliefs.

Because western society is gynocentric. It's considered acceptable to call men trash, and all sorts of other names, but not acceptable in reverse. If you want to find out who the most privileged members of society are, find out who you can't criticise. Harmless jokes like "women can't drive" are believed to be thoughtcrime. It doesn't actually result in any discrimination, but that doesn't matter. It's taboo anyway. So everytime you feel offended reading TRP or WAATGM, take a deep breath, and realise this is good for you. It's building you a thicker skin. Have a laugh at yourself and move on. As Norah Vincent said being a woman is a privilege. Relax, you are already winning.

It helps you realise your own faults. There are many things to criticise women for. You need to be able to take a good hard look at yourself and determine whether it is truly something you are at fault for. Are you guilty of witholding sex? Are you guilty of monkey branching? Are you guilty of dating men you knew to be losers? If things like this bother you, it may well be because they are true. Take the time to reflect and chill out. Work on what you can fix and don't make the same mistakes again. Forgive yourself and make a plan for self improvement. There are many good people here on RPW who can help - in fact, it's probably already in the sidebar. Self awareness does not come naturally. It has to be sought out. And no one realises women's faults better than RP-ers and MGTOWs. 

Potential downsides. You could begin to hate men. You could begin to hate yourself. You could go through the TRP "anger phase" - I certainly did. But it was worth it. It took about a year or more. I can now read TRP and other subreddits without batting an eyelid. I find in real life, men who dislike your actions or your past will never stick around long enough for you to find out. And I am very secure with the friendships and mentorship I have from older men, who view me as a worthwhile woman, without any promise of sexual access. 

Thanks for reading.
