The redpill emphasizes the individual and his (or her) right to improve. This is a classic liberal concept. Think founding fathers. Now more considered libertarian.
Unfortunately liberalism in this sense is dead in the west. It has been subverted by progressivism which marginalizes the individual relative to what’s best for the group often at the individual’s unwilling expense.
Progressivism by its very nature promotes some groups over others, eg women over men. It’s natural that this forum would reject this. It’s a shame that was once the more open minded viewpoint, ie the left, can no longer even countenance this phenomenon.

What a load of bullshit and this is coming from a liberal.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida which all went Trump, did so by a combined 130k votes or something like that. That is pretty much nothing.
Despite all the talk of the Trump being this massive movement he got less total votes than Romney in a few states.
To act like the manosphere made a difference in the election is laughable.
warlordchad 5y ago
They get almost all of it wrong. Yes there are guys on here who get political and the sub leans right, but that’s probably a sort of knee jerk reaction to the fact feminists are in the left.
To me this sub exists for three reasons: 1) to help guys get their shit together, 2) learn to embrace their masculine nature, because 3) ultimately, that is what leads to getting laid.
And the anger isn’t misogyny—it’s guys realizing that society gave them a shitty deal. Play by the rules, be a “good” guy, marry the sweetheart you met in high school or college, then have kids and dote on your wife and all will be good.
Well, as many of us discovered, that doesn’t work in a lot of cases, because women aren’t loyal by their nature, and that’s especially true of modern women who’ve been raised to think they should be the dominant actor in relationships, most of whom had sex with massive numbers of men and have lost the ability to pair bond. Couple that with open hypergamy that’s aided by dating apps and social media, and it’s a fucking mess.
And then, as we figure out, it is what it is—may as well express our sexuality in a way that gets us what we want without being taken advantage of...
What I don’t understand is why people fail to look objectively at things from a young man’s perspective—or any man for that matter—and see wow, this is a way different situation than how our society tells people things are... but I guess that’s the whole TRP conundrum.
But the point, ultimately, is that the truth isn’t misogyny—it’s just the truth. No one on this sub wrote the rules for evolution. We’re just learning to play by them.
ArcheryDude101 5y ago
Exactly. I would bet my bottom dollar on the idea that if men didn't have to learn how to play the relationship game with women, and we could live by more blue pill ideas, this sub wouldn't be necessary. However, that's just not the case. The anger people feel after they realize their beliefs are completely wrong is justified because they got fed a bunch of lies by media about how relationships work. Unfortunately, feminist see this as a problem because they don't realize that its a phase rather than a reality.

It depends on where you are at in your life geographically, emotionally, etc. I'm in a funky Eastern European place now and loving my life so reading that was purely hilarious. If I'm dealing with that shit everyday then it becomes a whole lot less amusing.
ReasonablyGoodMexica 5y ago
Given they drive, what 70% of all purchases? I'd say it's pretty darn accurate to describe the modern woman as such.
nobody_thinks 5y ago
lol i know that's what's funny. everything they say is partially true but it's just framed in the most extreme possible way while still sounding academic.
it's not my fault that women's brains are 15% smaller than men's (accounting for body weight) and they have less grey matter and 20x less testosterone and stop maturing at 16.
also wtf does it mean to dehumanize a women. Women are obviously human. You can't define humanity without women. What they really mean is "de-masculinize" women, which is their implicit confession that they believe masculinity means agency, rationality, frame, independence, etc. everything the femcunt imagines she is as she scarfs down ice cream and pets her cats in her bugman butthole apartment.

Boy that’s so whack out of the ballpark that I don’t even know where to begin. I don’t even know what you’re doing on TRP.
Ever see that small Asian dude with a baseball-sized head that’s smarter than you? Yeah. You just correlated brain size with intelligence. It’s big brain time.
And the hell you mean stop maturing at 16?
The hell do you mean 20x less testosterone? No shit, what the fuck would they need it for unless they’re male? Are you not aware of genders?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m against hateful, lazy fat chicks who have a monopoly on morality, and this article makes me seethe, but you’re going there too. TRP is about accepting the differences and making the best of them. Women are humans, just like us, and there’s a fat loser neckbeard for every fat loser girl. Don’t hate women just because the ones around you suck.
Go look at incels if you want to see the counterpart to what you just read. Don’t get radicalized. Don’t say femcunt. That’s like a woman saying man-pig. What, all men are pigs and all women are femcunts? Don’t label shit too quickly. Stop with mindless hate bait or get off the sub.

While that's true, women have 10 times more white matter (that is responsible for connecting different areas of the brain and hence, general intelligence) as opposed to men having 6 times more Grey matter (which is better for doing specialised work, math, science, spatial reasoning etc)
nobody_thinks 5y ago
white matter is basically regulating insulation. it doesn't help general intelligence. if that were true, women would have higher IQs, which they don't.
no it's not even made of neurons. it's insulation that has secondary functions.
Gambattekure 5y ago
I guess general intelligence is a bad way of saying it, it means parts of their brain (and presumably, what these areas hold) are better connected, as opposed to the parts themselves being better.
lala_xyyz 5y ago
if that were the case they'd be better in creativity which they are not. men are better in every imaginable cognitive metric
[deleted]
red_philosopher 5y ago
More connections between the different sub-units of the brain will only raise general intelligence IF the sub-units being connected can perform more ably with the extra connections. If men's sub-processing units have 6x more grey matter, then they can process information that they are supposed to process more quickly AND more thoroughly, which leads to more generalized intelligence IF there's enough white matter to handle the connectivity requirements. Otherwise women would destroy men in all generalized intelligence, and they simply don't. Likewise, you should see a shift of the female mean towards higher average intelligence compared to men, along with the correlated increase of women at the extremes of IQ. Instead, you find a disproportionate amount of men represented compared to women at the extremes.
So if that's the case, then it stands to reason that the additional connections make women better at handling very complex tasks that require quick, on-the-fly, and relatively accurate composite determinations. Such as the interpretation and applicability of social situations, emotional cues and how they shift the social landscape in the moment, etc.
This is all me talking out of my ass, but it seems to make more sense.
Gambattekure 5y ago
I mean a little bit of what you say make sense, the other half, not so much. IQ tests, one metric designed so that they necessarily test across a variety of human capabilities, are presumably neutralising any advantage one gender has over another. (So, ignoring statistically insignificant differences, they do seem to be equal as far as mean is concerned supported by research) As for the other part of your reasoning, the logic for the female mean being higher, it is a little twisted; it is precisely because women function well at connecting different areas of the shallower learning better, that they would be concentrated thickly around the center (also shown to be true) while men who specialise in abstract reasoning (heh, nerds) push the deviance pretty much to the right, and men who attune their minds to attain better physical peaks push the mean to the left. Men specialise because they're primed for it.
nobody_thinks 5y ago
white matter is just insulation. not even made out of neurons. the guy is larping.

When the fuck will these fuckwads understand that the reason we have Trump is because they put up Clinton? That's it. There was no radical coordination or anything even resembling that. It was a nation that did not want Clinton. I swear if they had put up Sanders instead we would have Sanders as a president. And now we're likely to get Captain Combover for a 2nd term and it's still their damn fault.

Voted democrat my entire life...till the story came out April 2016 about rigging the primaries against Bernie. Hillary was never getting my vote after that.
WiseMonkeyGoodMonkey 5y ago
At this point I don't vote either of the big parties. IMO they've categorically failed in their mandate at this point. So I voted neither but consider Trump to be the (marginally) lesser of the 2 evils.
SalporinRP 5y ago
I'm not sure how the fuck the DNC didn't get this, or maybe they just didn't care but Hillary's boosted popularity in the south compared to Sanders didn't really mean shit. Realistically most states are decided before a single vote is cast. The swing states are all that matters.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Florida.
Hillary for some retarded reason neglected Wisconsin and Michigan in her campaigning and that fucked her.
Bernie would have beaten Trump in PA too.
I'm still hopeful he will get voted out in 2020 though. In terms of total votes in the swing states the 2016 election was decided by pretty thin margins. And people will come out to vote against Trump like people came out to vote against Hillary in 2016.
WiseMonkeyGoodMonkey 5y ago
And here was me thinking she was fundamentally unlikable. Not to say tactically she didn't fumble in exactly the way you describe mind you. But I live in NorCal and know women that will never vote for her. Do you have any idea of the significance of that in NorCal?
And yes. I've already accepted that we're gonna get Trump a 2nd term. Don't like it - but it seems inevitable at this point.
SalporinRP 5y ago
Never said she wasn't unlikable. She is.
But I also think you're underestimating the increased voter turnout we'll see from the left. So many people either didn't vote because they didn't like Hillary or because they thought she was gonna kill Trump anyways. People are gonna come out of the woodwork to vote against Trump like people came out of the woodwork to vote against Hillary.
WiseMonkeyGoodMonkey 5y ago
Perhaps. It would be nice. Increased turnout in general. We do not, in general, have stellar turnout in this country. I think we would have less extremist politics if this was not the case.

I disagree with this POS website heavily. As far as I've seen, the goal of the Red Pill is to reduce the importance of women in the life of a man; stopping them from being the endgame of a man's life. TRP for me at least means finding a greater purpose detached from just "find woman, sex woman, end of story"

The article is basically saying that shortly before the election there were topics posted here that may have swayed people's opinion that saying, "Grab them by the pussy" wasn't a thing that should disqualify a person from being president.
I can somewhat agree with that.
But you've got to ask yourself, there are 500,000 people here (from across the world). How much of a difference could it really have made? I imagine most people here aren't going to be influenced one way or the other by such articles.
Then the bulk of the article is padded out with some mischaracterisations.
As for the writers of the article, it looks like they only write feminist stuff, I guess they're just filling their quota for the month.
Thinkingard 5y ago
Silly and stupid propaganda from leftist professors, one, a 26 year old white male, the other, a 45 year old white woman. Silly, because they don't represent anything redpillers talk about accurately. Stupid, because anyone who paid even the slightest attention to social media could have told you a bunch of manosphere men preferred Trump over Clinton. Anyone at all with access to statistics could show you white men overwhelmingly voted for Trump. There is literally nothing of value to this article. Also, voting for Trump apparently makes you a radical. Couldn't help but notice both of these professors are in Florida, I guess the Florida meme lives on.
mountainbiker178 5y ago
If you voted conservative, you're intolerant and radical
If you voted liberal, you're tolerant and open-minded
Edit. I meant that as sarcastic. Emphasis added. It fucking irritates me that we're painted that way simply because we don't drink their all billshit feminist agenda. It's never about objective reality/truths.

its interesting to know something so well, and then watch it completely misrepresented in the media. Just shows you how bad journalism is and why trusting the media is always a bad idea..
and their gist... a new way to blame other people for Hilary's loss..
the most ridiculous thing here is the claim that supporting trump is a "radical" position, and that by being politically educated on his policies is called "radicalisation".

Facts I love women..I just hate what feminism did to the western woman
Imperator_Red 5y ago
I don’t hate women, but I do hate the fact that they wield power outside the home.
MattyAnon Admin 5y ago
Right, but we do hate what women are given (special privilege and endless victim status) and thus what they get away with.
When you have infinite privilege, anyone questioning it looks like abuse.
Don't forget that we do directly question female sexual primacy, we point out hypergamy, we seek to get better rights for men. This makes women feel threatened, and when women feel their position is threatened they lash out in a way that's designed to evoke white knights to run to their defence...... "they're women haters!".

Thanks, this is the line I was misquoting.
EdmondDaunts 5y ago
I often wonder if a contributing factor to white knighting is the recognition that as a man you will always have more power potential than a woman. And this feeling can be unsettling.
So yes there is also the “if I do this I might get laid” aspect. But also the “I don’t like this core feeling of imbalance”.
Imperator_Red 5y ago
White knighting exists because most men are losers. I don’t mean it as an insult, just a fact. With no controls on sexuality, Pareto principle applies and 20% of men fuck 80% of women.
The 80% in any society that’s advanced beyond hunter-gatherer aren’t going to accept this. Society’s original answer to this problem was legally, culturally, and religiously enforced sexual monagamy aka marriage. When this went out the door in the late 20th century, the losers needed another weapon to organize and have a chance to get laid.
So they invented white knighting. Obviously it’s ineffective at accomplishing the losers’ ends, but given their imperfect understanding of human nature due to societal brainwashing, this is the best they’ve been able to come up with.
MattyAnon Admin 5y ago
Hence it's motivated by fairness? Quite possibly this is a factor because women love to stamp their feet and say "this is unfair" and men will stupidly respond to their demands, believing that what they say must be true.

"domestic violence, sexual assault and gendered wage gaps".
Nothing pisses me off more than these double speak Orwellian whatever the fuck you want to call them fucktards that lump real issues women have historically faced with 3rd wave liberal bullshit feminist cuntshits. How in the hell could you compare domestic violence and real rape with the perceived myth of "gendered wage gaps?". The people behind these articles are outright fucking evil incarnate given the brainwashing via association they spread.
MattyAnon Admin 5y ago
Because feminists love to conflate all the above.
Start with "rape is terrible" (everyone agrees) and quickly shift the discussion into "give women special treatment" before anyone notices the shift. If anyone notices, quickly move back to "rape is terrible" again.... before moving back to "give women jobs they're not qualified for" before you can even blink. Anyone objecting to this is now supporting rapists. Oh, you're not supporting rapists? Great, give women positions of power they've never earned and don't deserve to prove it.
This has been going on for decades.... it's why they say things like "one in three women has suffered rape, sexual assault, wolf whistling or an unwelcome sexual advance".
They are pandering to women, feminists and the gullible beta males of the world...... which is sadly 90% of humanity and 95% of its spending power.

you've got to be joking. Have you dated pretty women and seen the sorts of mentally ill people that harass them on a frequent basis? Of course women need protection from the shit end of the gene pool that has no social intelligence. They always have.

And they had it before feminism and the loosening of sexual morality. You couldn’t just harass a woman on the street 100 years ago. Jesus
clanleader 5y ago
Glad to hear you're not extremist as I was sensing illogical anger like some incels here. I was wrong. Definitely you're right. But I honestly wouldn't pick up arms against 1st wave feminism, in some ways I do have a soft spot for it and understand their original plight. But this 3rd+ wave bullshit, that is what I'm willing to actively fight against. But for now I've chosen to escape it and just live in other non-feminist countries, and be at peace.
hitchthumb 5y ago
First wave feminism was still a movement to get the privileges of being a man while keeping the privileges of being a woman. There were problems with man-woman relations then, like drinking husbands, but that is not solved with "give women voting rights without drafting them". That is solved with a conscious decision among men to sort their own problems out.
​
I like Russia that way - they're not feminist, even though they've got all the gender equality laws passed, because men and women just get along over there. No radical anti-civilization shifts required.
RedDingleBarry 5y ago
Poorly “researched” article. Describes some people here, but we are much more diverse than portrayed. Most of us are a-political, a good chunk of us are not even “conservative” (whatever that means), most of us don’t give a damn about hot-button conservative religious issues like abortion or contraception, and I’d say at least half (probably more) of us can’t stand the buffoon-in-chief, despite our left or right politics. Red Pill attracts all kinds and all are welcome.

The Red Pill also welcomes feminism imo. We all know there are fucking blue-pilled people everywhere that won't admit to themselves or the rest what sexuality means and what it creates, but that is not feminism.
It is a lot of things, and feminism can learn of TRP as TRP can learn of feminism.
If you are going to list feminism and its supporters by the superficial shit you always hear/see about it on the news, then you are no better than the ones judging this subreddit by the women-hater sometimes incels that exists here.

What a wholesome reply. I was planning on lurking in the comments, but your comment was so unbiased and reasonable and I appreciate that. Women do faces issues in society just as men do.

Wow... a typical insular and ignorant view typically held by those with a limited level of education, critical thinking, and exposure to the outside world (let alone, outside county). Life isn’t black and white. A well-rounded “integrated” man will likely be conservative in some things, liberal-ish in other things, and nuanced in yet others. I can’t support the current president because of his woeful incompetence; it doesn’t mean I would not support a conservative president who isn’t an embarrassment to the country. I’ll tolerate your willful intolerance of my “ilk” to the point where it infringes on my life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Intolerance brings out the worst in humankind as history can attest.

If you aren't economically anarcho-capitalist or minarchist yet then you've been told lies.

Well, I did.
For the same reasons why moderate conservatives voted for Trump.
The economic issues is more important than any disagreements I have with feminists and other radical leftists in the liberal side.
Hopefully, my admission sheds light into this issue. People be like generalizing every liberal voter like they are all pink haired harpies or some shit.

i'm pretty sure this is disingenuous.
literally makes zero sense.

As strange as it may sound, diverse is a good/positive adjective for describing the people of this subreddit. Most of us are quite dissimilar, and I wouldn't like to be lumped in with any existing political or non-political group.

Diversity and heterogeneity is not a virtue, I admit.

and trust me, like you, I appreciate the irony of the fact that the red pill is "borderless", race-blind, religion-blind, and political-blind and that there are hindu incels learning game here right now, but that fact literally has nothing to do with the red pill's value. It's value comes from the fact that it is the timeless shared wisdom of men about how to model social realities from the frame of what works.

I especially hated this part. So since some neo-nazi's happen to use the same terminology as us, the authors attempt to link us to those scumbags. Really sneaky. It's also an insult to all our RP-brothers who aren't white.
Moreover, back in 2016, this sub had how many readers? Maybe 200.000 or so? Of which a lot weren't even American. Such a small, insignificant number on the whole population that was allowed to vote. I don't understand why they single us out.
And btw, I'm not American ánd I'm left-leaning on most issues. I'm only here to discuss sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men. I assume this holds for plenty of people here.

TRP had over 300k subscribers when the quarantine went into effect.
banana_apple_pear 5y ago
So then it might have been even less than 200.000!

Laughing so hard right now. So browsing reddit is scientific research by todays standards?
centaursg 5y ago
Bullshit. I dont care where this "study" is coming from. Its ridiculous to say angry men = woimen haters
I`m a dem supporter and I`m big proponent of TRP principles. If anything TRP teaches folks to game and enjoy not game and hate. TRP teaches us how enjoy life better.
Imperator_Red 5y ago
You cannot believe in TRP principles and vote dem. The two are mutually exclusive. Wake up
centaursg 5y ago
Bruh, many of the todays right wingers are straight up dumb and stupid. They should not be allowed to decide on the policies. they are out of touch with the reality. One should not support right wingers just cuz right wingers supports TRP. This is the distinction between Incel/MGTOWs and TRP. In TRP language its beta AF.

"Red Pill rhetoric goes mainstream"
​
WTF, red pill is mainstream. Stupid SJW liberals think that because in their bubble everybody agree with them, don't realize the majority of people is and always were red-pilled. Women are naturally red-pilled. Men used to be, just recently they became a bunch of fags but most men in earth are inherently red-pilled. Its just in western civilizations and just recently that Blue-pills men have increased notably.

Not only are they chauvinist pigs which is bad, BUT they also support Trump which makes them double plus bad in the eyes of the party. We all know if you don’t wholeheartedly support the party’s ideals, you are a bad person.

Look at the wording : more notorious spaces in the “manosphere” – a loose online coalition of men’s rights activists (MRAs), ‘pick-up artists’ and other male supremacists.

Tags TRP as alt-right then forgets to mention that the WM leader was outed as an outspoken antisemite.

BS, stop clicking on that shit. That's REAL George Soros (and Ford Foundation) lefty propaganda.

I'm not American, and could care less about American politics as it as little to no impact on my day to day life. I joined this sub because, to say it simply, I felt it would help me become a better man, and better version of myself. And I'm sure there are several others like me.
It's fucking frustrating when you see articles and blogs like these, clearly biased and selective, that generalise the community of this sub to portray it to be something it's not.
mp111 5y ago
Tbf, same thing for fatpeoplehate. It helped teach me about the bullshit fat logic being pumped my way and motivate my fat ass to lose 60 pounds. But there were also brigading and trolling idiots using it as a platform to be a dick to others.
My take: spread your message to help others, don’t force feed it to people who don’t give a shit or who ain’t trying to have their minds changed.
All it takes is one moldy fruit to make the rest look rotten
TheStumblingWolf 5y ago
The politics of men's rights is happening on the sub mensrights.
I'm not American either but I think you're being a bit short sighted. Consider how much "culture" they export. The effects are not insignificant. The way I see it what happens in the states usually happens in other Western countries after some years.
haxewep24 5y ago
Same. Not American and not into politics
Imperator_Red 5y ago
It’s not really “American” politics though, is it? It’s the entire west. And if you don’t live in the west, this shit is coming to a country near you pretty soon if you allow women to vote
Menchstick 5y ago
I wouldn't say it's the entire west, even though it might spread there too in some years.
[deleted] 5y ago
I mean I’m from Australia, I can’t even vote on US politics
I was reading that article asking “are we talking about the same red pill?”
TRP is and always is really just men helping each other get ahead in a positive way.
Triggered feminists just pissed that TRP lifts the veil of bullshit that essentially enslaves the modern man
red_philosopher 5y ago
Just thought it was interesting, first time I've seen the sub posted by name like this.
bakamoney 5y ago
Aside from the usual bs. They aren't wrong at all.
Half of reddit absolutely was paid to be a Trump PR tool.
A shit load of sub's changed what they were doing to exclusively go GOOD TRUMP or BAD TRUMP
MelodyMyst 5y ago
Sources? Citations? Something... Something... back that up please.
TheDopestPope 5y ago
Media matters literally did this in 2016 for Hillary on Reddit. They were paying people to argue on Reddit. You are living in an upside down reality buddy
bakamoney 5y ago
And the other half wasn't?
One side going retard doesn't mean you do too.
TheDopestPope 5y ago
What evidence do you have that Trump's people were being paid to post on Reddit. You keep acting like it's a known fact without providing evidence
