Summary: MtF Transgender Feminist talks about how being a "nice guy" is not a viable sexual strategy in todays dating world and how women are basically creating "assholes". Pretty much validates TRP.

This exact link has actually been posted to several BluePill subreddits but has been repeatedly bashed in the comments for basically validating TRP (and I agree) so I decided to post this here.
The author is a feminist, the kind that believes in rape culture and all the other shenanigans involved, but unlike most feminists she does seem to have a little insight into the perspective of males (although obviously not that of an alpha male) due to the fact that she was a heterosexual guy for a large part of her life.
The reason why I kind of liked the article is probably because the author, unlike normal feminists, actually recognizes some things as they are and calls her "fellow women" out on it.
[There exists] a predator/prey mindset, and within it, men can only ever be viewed as sexual aggressors and women as sexual objects.
This may seem obvious to some of us but I've noticed that many feminists/women in general don't really know this. They can't understand why men who can't get laid don't just go on Tinder. That to be attractive to a woman you actually have to do stuff, not just not be ugly. And not only do they have to do something, they have to do a certain something:
Just as women are expected to fulfill the stereotype of being sexual objects in order to gain male attention, men are expected to fulfill the sexual aggressor stereotype in order to gain female attention. In other words they have to act like "assholes."
Seriously, some parts of this read like a rant on r/foreveralone :
Time and time again, my female friends would fall for an "asshole" and then be crushed because he never called her the next day as he'd promised [...]. Sometimes after being hurt by some "asshole" my female friends would come to me for advice or to be consoled. They came to me because I was a "nice guy." In their eyes, I was safe. Respectful. Harmless. Sometimes during these post-"asshole" conversations my friends would go on a tirade about how all men are jerks and cannot be trusted or they'd ask, "Why can't I find a guy who will treat me with respect?" Whenever they did this I would point out that there are lots of guys who are not jerks, who are respectful of women. I'd even name a few. Upon hearing the names I suggested my friends would invariably say something like "I don't find him attractive" or "I think of him more as a friend".
Turns out the author was a "nice-guy". He got the full doormat treatment from his female friends, the same kind of treatment that drives many men to TRP. His conclusions were wrong (although I guess I can't argue with "If you can't beat them - join them") but he made all the same observations that we did. In fact he even observed what happened when people DID swallow the pill:
During my college years, I watched a number of "nice guys" transform into "assholes." And when they did, women suddenly became interested in them. The most stunning transformation I witnessed was this guy who lived in my dorm, whom I'll call Eric. Freshman and sophomore years, he was a super-sweet and respectful guy. Despite the fact that he was fairly good-looking, women were not generally interested in him. Somewhere around junior year, he suddenly begang acting like an "asshole" (around women, at least). Instead of engaging women in conversations (as he used to), he would instead relentlessly tease them. The things he would say sounded really dismissive to me, but often the intended recipient would just giggle in response. Suddenly he was picking women up at parties, and I'd occasionally overhear women who never knew Eric back when he was a "nice guy" discussing how cute they thought he was.
Guy changes his behaviour, gets some game, suddenly he's an alpha male who is getting laid. "Just be yourself" my ass.
Obviously this is not an article about that. This is a feminist who tries to change the world to the "better", but at least she's not blaming men exclusively.
I also get frustrated by people who think that it's simply up to male allies to call out those men who are sexist or disrespectful of women. While this approach can have some positive effect, I believe that many cisgender women overestimate its potential. First off, it essentially makes the "nice guys" responsible for policing the "assholes". This overlooks the fact that in the heterosexual mainstream, "assholes" are seen as being higher up in the social pecking order than "nice guys".
Any attempts to critique men for being sexually aggressive, or to critique women for fulfilling the role of the sexual object, will have a very limited effect. These tactics, after all, fail to adress the crucial issue of demand. So long as heterosexual women are attracted to men who act like aggressors, and heterosexual men are attracted to women who act like objects, people will continue to fulfill those roles.
In fact she actually blames women for creating assholes:
What I have seen far less of are critiques of women who are attracted to sexually aggressive men. [...] I nevertheless feel that it is a mistake to ignore this issue, given the fact that many men become sexual aggressors primarily, if not solely, to attract the attention of women. In fact, if heterosexual women suddenly decided en masse that "nice guys" are far sexier than "assholes" it would create a huge shift in the predator/prey dynamic. While I wouldn't suggest that such a change would completely eliminate rape or sexual abuse I do believe that it would greatly reduce the number of men who harass and disrespect women on a daily base.
What a nice thought. Let's just define nice guys as the new sexy, that'll work! (Although I do have to admit that if feminism is to ever achieve their ideal world this would have to be the step) This is obviously where her observations and TRP philosophy go seperate paths: We at TRP understand that attraction can't be negotiated, so we follow the only path that is left: The path of a confident, cocky, aggressive alpha male.
Lesson learned: Women are not attracted to nice guys. Don't be that guy who thinks that if you're nice and polite to a girl for a certain time you'll be the one who gets the girl in the end. I guess ... maybe you will. When the Chads are done with her and she's "willing to settle". Just don't actually expect any sex from it.
