1.) Introduction:
Recently I received a message from a feminist asking me some basic questions about the red pill. I figured the amount of explaining required to articulate a quality response would necessitate the writing of an essay. Here's the thing though, I don't write individualised essays; it's a poor allocation of a finite and unearnable resource: one's time.
Not only that, but I believe it would be a shame if only one fellow got to enjoy such a rich and detailed response. As such, if I find myself penning a lengthy response to someone, there's a good chance I'll just make it into an article. After all, if one person is asking these questions, others probably share similar curiosities.
Anybody curious about the red pill, or struggling to grasp it due to an inability to reconcile it with feminist or egalitarian beliefs should start here; this one's for you. I should warn you, this is one of my more lengthier posts, so you may want to go and grab a cup of coffee before you get right into the thick of things.
2.) Gender Equality is a Myth:
Question: "To you, what is the central tenet of the red pill position?"
The core of the philosophy is built on the idea that gender equality is a myth. Men are required by women to be superior in order to be attractive, women don't find equality sexy, even if they claim the contrary.
Women don't make it easy for men, most are not fully cognisant of what they want and will not tell lost boys how to be men, even if they themselves have some sort of idea of what "being a man" entails. Let's assume a magical woman exists who knows everything about being a man and is fit to educate men in the ways of manhood (humour me); the act of this woman teaching the clueless man how to be masculine would be the very thing that makes him undesirable, assuming there was some kind of physical attraction to begin with.
A man can be attracted to a woman whose femininity he is cultivating, but the reverse is not so. A woman doesn't want to cultivate a man's masculinity, she wants to find a man who's already generously endowed with it. Sure, women will try to rehabilitate bad boys due to their primal attraction to psychopathy, but a "bad boy" has masculinity even if it's of the negative type; domesticating the desirable and building up the undesirable are entirely disparate phenomena. Women will more than gladly engage in the former, but scarcely if ever the latter.
2a.) Women's Advice Damages Men:
Women's advice to men is not fit for purpose, even when they mean well, their inextricable solipsism leaves them unable to give actionable advice that will yield lasting and tangible benefit. A woman's solipsism dictates her inability to understand how she becomes attracted, to her, attraction is "mysteriously magical", and as such, a form of incomprehensible magnetism that a man either has or hasn't.
One of the reasons many women have a simultaneous disgust and intrigue for the red pill, is because among other reasons, it teaches unattractive men how to be attractive. And the mere idea that attraction is teachable implies it is mundane and mechanical, rather than mysterious and magical as a woman's fantasy prone emotions would drive her to believe.
Rather than tell clueless men they need to be dominant, put her in place and act like more of a jerk, women will oft opt for the non-confrontational bullshit approach: "be kind and understanding, listen to her problems, and she'll realise what a great guy you are!" In fact rather than help a man, a woman will often use misinformation as a filtering mechanism to benefit her own sexual strategy.
Women will tell men to be kind, sweet, supplicating and deferential, and if he's idiotic enough to take the advice, she'll reject him precisely because he did what she said. Many men have had their hearts crushed in youth because they were clueless, listened to the thoroughly unhelpful girl interpretation of what constitutes an attractive male, and ended up with nothing but rejection dressed in the clothing of compliments.
For example:
“You’re so nice, you're like a brother to me - I don't want to ruin that!”
As well as condescending platitudes such as
"You're a real catch, I know there's a really great woman out there for you, you'll find her some day I just know it!"
Completely disregarding the fact that, this man doesn't want "the great women out there", but in fact desires the woman telling him to fuckoff romantically in the kindest yet least helpful way possible.
Whoever thought such flattering words could harbour such condemning frustration? Who among man knew rejection could sound so god damn complimenting? These are the very phrases a man never wishes to hear from a woman, rejection is something men can process and learn from, but rejection disguised as encouragement simply fucks up a young and impressionable man's mind.
A lot of red pill men were raised by feminist women, followed feminist advice, and found nothing but misery. As soon as they discarded the notion of gender equality as an operative social model, focused on themselves and became more behaviourally dominant, their relationships with women both sexually and platonically begun improving dramatically.
