Yes, yes it has. I see it too. You’re not crazy.

And this is why it infuriates me when people tell me to “not worry about what you read on the internet”, as if the people saying the words are not largely living, breathing humans in the real world that one must interact with. As if what they read has 0 influence on how they behave offline.

Yes. The first rule of red pill is not to talk about red pill.

Most of these losers know that.

But they indoctrination they receive from dried-up desiccated manosphere types ( who were always beta - and will be til they die) gets their motor pumping.

It is one of the most obvious tells of a red piller in the wild. They way the 'rational" sex is sooo highly offended that women should feel safe in their home, in the street and in their workplace.

But remember - THEY are the rational ones.

The rational sex who is so sophisticated, they needs access to sex so desperately they are happy to divorce themselves from their own humanity - and to use a human being as a flesh light if it serves their agenda.

Revolting apes. All of them.

Humour them.

"Oh wow - I understand how upsetting that is for you?? Poor little things. How can we make it so you feel more safer out there in the big world???"

If there is equality amongst all genders/races/everyone etc then these people lose privileges.

They actually KNOW they have privilege because they get upset at the thought of losing what they have and potentially getting treated how others are

souredskittles · 2021-05-30T02:10:49+00:00

Yes imo it is. I’ve heard random men at work or local that have spewed red pill or popular misogynistic points. Like being mad Melinda gates will be entitled to half the fortune or saying they will never get married because we will rob their money lol

I’ve heard this from MOC a lot too. They all just want to keep us down now that we can choose to not deal with them.

gigi_chi · 2021-05-30T03:57:58+00:00

YES. I thought I was the only person observing this. Whew.

daisy_0720 · 2021-05-30T07:25:54+00:00

I've heard the word 'simp' being used by males a few times recently.

Frogspocket · 2021-05-30T10:26:17+00:00

I've noticed it too. It's getting worse. I used to think it was just because we're getting older and finally seeing what was always there. But it's definitely escalating.

But it's makes sense. They are not going to go quietly into the night. So whenever they react it means we have made a small dent. It's like when women started joining the work force back in the day and the response from men was all that 50s housewife propaganda. So much panic. It unfortunately worked, but a dent was at least made. History sort of repeated itself recently. the metoo movement scared the shit out of men. Then "sex work is empowering" propaganda popped up shortly thereafter. whenever we're actually making progress they all feel it deep down and it makes them uncomfortable. They band together in spirit because they don't want to slip out of their place at the top of the status quo. That's how their propaganda and ideas spread so quickly. They're all on the same page, unlike women, who have different doses of social conditioning, manipulation and brainwashing to work through before we can even imagine banding together.

And okay, this is hard to even write because of the painful irony but Joe rogan recently said something about how "pretty soon white men aren't going to be allowed to speak or go outside". His point was that we're all too woke and telling white men to shut up is going too far. It really spoke to men because a lot of them privately do fear that their losing their place in the hierarchy. His influence among men is huge, so my prediction is that now that someone has said it out loud it's all going to get worse. We're going to start hearing way more main steam discourse about how white men are treated unfairly. Anything to derail our progress. It's a long ass war, but keep your head up. Whenever you see misogyny slipping into real life and escalating it's depressing because it seems like a sign of failure but in my opinion it's a sign of progress.

Platipus6 · 2021-05-30T03:27:31+00:00

Men are extremely hierarchical and have no sense of self unless they can see who's above and below them. They accept and respect (and resent) men above them, but the idea of the women below them gaining equality or exceeding them makes them shit their pants.

They are who they are because for their entire lives, women were firmly below them. The idea of women getting above them is catastrophic because they believe they'll be treated how they treated the women below them, and there's nothing more terrifying to their fragile egos.

We'll never achieve "equality" because men are incapable of accepting the concept.

We'll only be happily equal to other women, when we're separated from men.

babyeshona · 2021-05-30T07:50:30+00:00

Yes the idea is spreading far and wide. My brother is a really sweet guy by nature . He really respects women and never ever bother any and is actually sympathetic towards things women face BUT recently he just comments here and there against feminism and how it is run by BAD women. When I argue with him about it he has no particular answer just brain washed by internet.

Zayelle · 2021-05-30T10:13:11+00:00

They are scared of how much power we have when we unite and collectively say no to their bullshit.

The problem is, the more misogynistic they are, the more women will join us and these sexist men will end up alone, discarded from the genetic pool. Good riddance.

I joined a kickball league. A guy from the team met up with a group of us..somehow it was just he and I for a few minutes. Pre meeting up outside of kickball he’s going on and on about “I hate drama!!! 🤡” at our first game-🚩

He instantly starts talking shit about our team members! Specifically the girls I like. And how these women out of nowhere kicked him out of their group chat over a comment he “didn’t know” was offensive to LGBTQ-🚩🚩

I ket digging to see what it was…he wouldn’t tell me. But I KID YOU NOT HE SAYS:

RIGHT NOW, ITS HARD BEING A WHITE MAN IN AMERICA-🚩🚩🚩

So, I have to ask the girls, I trust women, why would all of them hate you? Lol. They literally tell me: he went to a gay man and told him he is a sinner and going to hell and his religion (catholic) told him so! -🚩🚩🚩🚩

We are in a large liberal city. What the fuck is wrong with you?

shinyjewels · 2021-05-30T02:23:09+00:00

I was having a conversation with my boyfriend about this just last night (he is a POC) because as minorities, we have both felt the vitriol of the "white man" in recent years. I think a lot of white men, especially white men who are not born into wealth, do not actually understand that they are privileged by virtue of being white men because they don't "feel" privileged because they are not rich/happy. They don't understand that they are privileged in so many other ways (ie not having cops automatically assume you're a convict) because they just can't imagine that such injustice exists since they don't live it. White men also tend to not understand (or willfully ignore) the historical context behind the oppression of minorities and women and how recent it was in history that minorities and women have begun to actually have basic rights. I think they genuinely think that "racism is over" or "sexism is over" because of policies like affirmative action and seeing people like Oprah become billionaires. They perceive that the standard of living for white men in the US has decreased over time, and rather than be introspective and try to improve themselves to be competitive in today's society or try to change the unchecked capitalism that placed them in their socioeconomic situation, they scapegoat women and POC who are thriving. The entire manosphere capitalizes on the disaffected young white man and it's very easy for people to become radicalized on sites like Reddit. Even I have to sometimes step back from FDS. For whatever reason, there’s a well-trodden path from gamer —> disaffected young male —> edgelord —> right wing extremist on Reddit, and a lot of Redditors are in the "disaffected young male" stage. That, compounded with genuine lack of empathy for the suffering of other people creates quite dangerous men.

I heard a coworker use the term “soy boy” in real life.

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2021-05-30T02:37:27+00:00

Trust me they've always been like this.

Jai_Kali · 2021-05-30T10:10:41+00:00

I don't know; I've barely been interacting with people IRL since the pandemic started. But it makes sense; those aren't bots spewing misogyny online. And with so many people working from home, interacting with coworkers and even family through a screen, the manosphere communities are no longer as much of a separate world in their lives.

Interesting_Day1188 · 2021-05-30T15:39:47+00:00

It absolutely is. There are a number of straight, white, and very attractive men that I am acquainted with that, in the past two years, have suddenly become increasingly more sensitive and 'victimized'.

It's total bullshit. They really are acting like they've been wronged and left out because they're not in control. Which doesn't mean that they're being left out, it means that they're not in charge, which is sad that their idea of being 'included' is to be in charge. It's all or nothing with them.

Such babies.

9hazle · 2021-05-30T15:08:08+00:00

No, internet misogyny is coming from real life. How are they backed into a corner more exactly? They can't "compliment" female coworkers anymore?(I've seen that's a common complaint) No, let me guess. They can't send flirty messages to their (younger with lower positions) female coworkers because they might go to HR and their wives might find out. Oh, yeah, poor guys. The world just isn't the pussy platter it used to be 😔 I really don't understand why would you think this kind of men won't be misogynistic. You're talking about the most privileged group. Basement dweebs can bark, but the men you were talking about have the most power to oppress women in real life. Did they gave a clear example of what is cornering them? Because if they feel like that they must have been doing something wrong or wanting to do. I think we all know how easily men can seem like really decent/nice guys, the society is literally covering for them from family and friends to bosses and teachers and if they're wrong doing gets public there are lots of people ready to defend them anyway. Boys would be boys it's meant to excuse promising young men, not unemployed guys with anime pillows.

i_said_what_i_said_ · 2021-05-30T18:47:58+00:00

I’m privy to the comments on anonymous staff surveys where I work, in the tech area there a LOT of comments about women getting “unfair special treatment and opportunities”. They take real issue with women being given equal opportunities to them.

Equal-Ear2312 · 2021-05-30T13:46:37+00:00

Internet is out real world so yes.

lightbluemind · 2021-05-31T14:27:50+00:00

Late to the party but it's not internet misogyny seeping into real life. The internet is real life, filled with people saying what the really believe. The internet may have radicalized some of these men, may have turned inchoate discomfort or resentment of women into this vile hatred, but mostly it just gave men who already hated women a new vocabulary to say it in.

Barkingatthemoon · 2021-05-30T02:26:38+00:00

It’s the Fox News and co propaganda , even if they are not internet trolls they’re still being “educated” in the matter .

ketodietclub · 2021-05-30T09:36:09+00:00

Men, specifically privileged white men, seem to be becoming more and more radicalized against women's progress as well as racial progress.

Two things: let's start with the racism.

CRT and to an extent radical feminism blames white patriarchy for absolutely everything that goes wrong, and the men (and some actual scientists) are a bit sick of it. Because not everything is their fault. So much that comes out of CRT is utter bullshit, and simply questioning CRT claims gets labelled a hate crime. For example, there are plenty of non white ethnicities, including black ones, that earn more than white average, don't have issues with law enforcement etc. But the persistent narrative is that everyone white is so racist and designed such a racist system that no minority can succeed and that the system is designed to oppress.

No one likes being blamed for something that they didn't do. Most of the claims of systemic racism don't hold up to harsh scrutiny. Two half brothers raised by the same single mum (one black one white) will have exactly the same education and income outcomes as adults. Once you correct for parental SES and education and offending, there's no race difference in income either.

As for the red pill stuff:

Guys are losing out in ability to control women financially, and their old cultural role as breadwinner and head of the household has been severely screwed up by the uncertainty of long term employment and the ability of women to get by without them.

Men need women in a way we really dont need them. We really only need a man for a few hours in a lifetime to have kids and a family life. Dick is easy to find should we want sex

Without a woman, it's a cold, childless, sexless and lonely adult life for a guy.

So they no longer have a clear path for life to follow. They don't know exactly what it is they are supposed to do or how to get what they need from us and it's making them act out.
