Part field report and part request for input.

I want to throw this out and see if any men had similar challenges last weekend and how they were handled as well as share what I leaned.

Went out for a nice dinner and about halfway through there was a shit storm. My primary failure was actually engaging at all (instead of changing the subject with a smile) when I was accused of not being compassionate and not "getting it" because of who I was born as (and who she benefits from.) A while back I learned to avoid political discussion (things have been smooth until now) but the mind control of mass media was particularly strong because of "The March" and she kept up.

Lesson: be the oak. Don't rationally discuss, but rather absorb her feelz. Listen to her whine. It's not rational - and rationally I know that.

Then I fucked up and DEERed a single sentence: I am not able to feel guilt over things I have no control over. After that one wrong move... BOOM. From there I remained calm and STFU, listening (in awe at the hatred coming out of her mouth) ...damn if this country isn't living on the brink of civil war. I was thrown off after this screw up and couldn't come up with any sarcastic A&A for politics on the spot. Another failure. I'm all ears for future suggestions.

Arriving at home, she said I should tolerate her bitchiness because she gives me sex. I didn't respond to that.

  • I wonder: are there any western women with minds that have not been brainwashed to be miserable while hating the hands that feed them, when it's easier to just be happy?

I'm 99% sure the answer is there are none and that it was like this 100 years ago to a much lesser extent.

Analysis. My options are: a.) excel at managing redirect of political topics and realize it's a national problem without a solution except to better myself.

b.) leave, pack my shit and travel or get in touch with the Czech/German/Austrian plates from my 20s who are waiting to get started again.

Given that she is the closest thing I have to family (no kids) I believe option A is right for me. After reading "Bachelor Pad Economics" - I look at my future differently. People are the magic of life and she brings value. Gains in all other areas are still abound but the level of toxic unpleasantness of this event was noteworthy, because I made it worse.

I've returned to my regularly scheduled improvement while the storm I created has passed and have already moved on like nothing happened. Things are calm again. 9 months ago this would have been 2 days or purgatory or worse. Not 30 minutes. Progress. It made me question again if I've really put myself in the best possible position for me, and this aside, I still say yes.

  • Has anyone utterly solved this issue or can vouch for the existence of western women who don't have simmering feminist hatred brewing in them?

I believe it would be weak as hell to blow up a marriage over her lack of agreement with my political views which are not popular to begin with. If shits are given (they're not) then vote. Otherwise STFU. I don't even consider her opinions to be her own with the level of brainwashing hive mentality that the mass media is capable of.

/u/stonepimpletilists made a great comment on another post about choosing a tribe being a show of weakness and /u/bluepillprofessor wasn't convinced that post was a troll - neither was I.

Is trump induced shit testing a phenomenon? RFC with any similar experiences...
