Is the Red Pill Movement Metastasizing?
I want to believe most men have morals and principles, but maybe that's wishful thinking
Maybe I’m naive.
I'm under the impression that most men - even lazy, videogame addicted, unemployed, couch potatoes - know that women are to be treated respectfully and as our equals.
I hope it's a small minority of men who treat women as if they're slaves - demeaning and degrading their humanity and objectifying them sexually (red pill) - but maybe I'm wrong.
If I’m wrong, and most young men want to be just like Andrew Tate, we’re in deep trouble.
To be crystal clear: if you are a young man who believes a woman's place is in the home and that her primary mission is to make you happy....you are a misogynistic, sexist, fool.
To the young men out there who respect women, but are struggling in school, the workplace, on dating apps, and feel, that because you're not highly educated, rich, or attractive enough, you'll never find a woman who will love you....please listen up.
First, as many women have fairly pointed out, we need to put on our big boy pants and stop wallowing in our circumstances...and then, try our best to navigate the following choppy waters:
Women are now playing the same games we've played for thousands of years and they're winning at it.
There are indeed double standards and vestiges of the past when it comes to expecting men to initiate the dating process and to determine when the relationship advances and when marriage is proposed, and, yes, it is true that if you are not well educated, rich, or very attractive you will be frequently rejected.
Life’s unfair.
But I will tell you firsthand that there are women out there looking for a man to be their partner. And they don't care how much money you make or whether you look like a movie star.
I have no idea how many sincere, reasonable men and women are left out there.
Maybe we’re all so jaded, hurt, and angry, that we’re hopelessly stuck in our corners and there is no hope for reconciliation.
Some men indeed expect women to have sex with them because they bought them dinner, and, indeed, some women will only have sex with men if they buy them dinner.
But I have to believe that represents the minority, not the majority.
Before there can be a truce between the genders there's going to have to be some excruciatingly uncomfortable, emotionally draining, intense conversations, debates, and discussions.
If we keep trending in the direction of hatred, jealousy, and long-lasting anger, an entire generation will miss out on the indescribable joy of developing deep, lasting, meaningful, relationships and families.
We are social creatures.
I know we need each other.
Let's find a way.
