Yeah, that's critical.

Having at least some even-keeled people around who can chain two coherent sentences together without blushing or looking over their shoulder to make sure no one else saw them do it is something one needs, not just for the sake of having some gainful human contact but a kind of human contact that stops one's encounter with other human's from being 100% gaslighting (if you're lucky enough to spend a lot of time with them you might be able to dial back the gaslighting ratio to only 60%).

Whatifalthist came up with this, and I think it's a pretty apt description of what's been described in the US as 'clown world'. The important thing to understand about it - power and prestige becomes insular, it's a place where the elites only see each other, are separated from what life's really like at ground level, and social conformity for conformity's sake becomes despotic.

It's really not a good place for anyone, just that those on the spectrum as well as incels and any other groups tend to be canaries in the coal mine.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding. What is the red pill exactly in this context? When I google it it just says to look at life in a different way, and a lot of sources have something different to say about it. But how is it dehumanizing exactly?

Okay thank you very much for the links! However, it was said on here before that the red pill is frowned upon often because it is seen as a dehumanizing. In the links, they do not talk about it being dehumanizing at all. It says in a nutshell more so, that the red pill is about critical thinking, and the blue pill is making decision out of emotion.

How does critical thinking = dehumanizing?

They do not talk about dehumanizing, they talk in dehumanizing manner.
"Tiers" by "sexual market value" are just language of a slave market, really.

I don't mean "red pill" as critical thinking, I mean "red pill" as a system of beliefs that claims romance is how women harm men and that the "reality" is a brutal meat market.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controver ... TheRedPill

On WP:
It is entirely acceptable to share unpleasant experiences with romance and unhealthy behaviors of partners.
It is not acceptable to generalize such behaviors to whole genders.

Okay thanks, I read the link and it says this:

"Alluding to the symbol of the "red pill" from the film The Matrix,[218][219] r/TheRedPill is devoted to discussions of male sexual strategy in which participants are ranked as "alpha" or "beta" males.[220] The subreddit promotes antifeminism,[220][198] rape culture,[198] hegemonic masculinity, and traditional gender roles.[218] Users discuss diet and physical fitness alongside "pick-up" techniques for seducing women, while also displaying different levels of misogyny ranging from virulent hatred of women to simple frustration with contemporary male experience.[219] The Southern Poverty Law Center describes it as one of several male supremacist subreddits featuring xenophobic discourse.[221] It has been associated with several right-wing movements and the alt-right because of its attacks on feminism and mockery of rape."

But I'm seeing a lot of words thrown out without describing a lot of background and actions on red pill believers. For example, people are giving their opinion on articles, on that it's antifeminist and promotes rape culture, etc, but how? What are the guys doing specifically? All I am hearing is opinions with no explanation of what the guys are doing that is dehumanizing, in their actions, if that makes sense?

For example "displaying levels of misogyny" in the link. What does that mean? That could be many things. The links want to remain so vague and not actually explain the men's actions specifically, or want to actually really dive into it.

They should have provided links to these websites.....and also cite illustrations of what they are "accused" of.

As for myself, what I've read of the "red pill" ideology, and others (e.g., MGTOW), which are defensive reactions to rejection by women----indicates that much of what is believed is based on erroneous notions, and is self-defeating to individual men.

The assumption, say, that only 20% of men get 80% of women----seems to be a commonly-quoted notion. My life experience (and common sense) belies that notion.

In very rare instances, adherents of "incel" ideology, which has close relations to "red pill" ideology, have been linked to violence against women. Rare, yes----but common enough for it to be a concern.

Let me emphasize: I don't associate "incels, red-pillers, etc" with violence against women. Believing in such an association is generalization to an extreme degree. But this spectrum of beliefs is sad, and is based upon theories that can easily be debunked.

I just find this whole spectrum of what I would term "giving up" ideologies is ultimately self-defeating, and gets nobody anywhere.

Perhaps, if 'They' only Started A 'Boy Band,' "They'd" Seem More Attractive
To Women Than Joining So-Called 'Incel Communities' Online. i Remember

An Interview With John Lennon As Far as 'Their' Motivation For Starting A 'Boy Band'

As Let's Face Biological Facts, Not A Single One of them Would Be Picked Out of a Crowd
As a 'Chad' With A Strong Jawline, if Not For the Songs of Their Boy Band, Unafraid to be

Different And
Stand Out From
The Crowd With
'Silly Love Songs'

And Non-Sense
Songs Like 'Yellow

More of the Right Hemisphere Brain
of Imagination And Creativity; YeS, EXploring,

Doing Something New, No One Has Encountered Before;

Anyway As John Lennon Related, So 'ELOquently,' A Greatest Motivation

For the All Boy Band, 'The Beatles,' For the Music They Wrote And Sung

Was Their Great Desire to Be Held in Attractive Value to Women and Indeed

With their Success
Came The Throwing
of Many 'Undies' At

Yes, The Reproductive Drive is Intense And As Science Shows,

Well as far as MGTOW goes, I find people's reactions to it to be a huge double standard, because when women go their own way and say they do not need men, a lot of people have a positive 'you go' reaction to it, but when guys do that, a lot of people react like it's misogynstic. So if a woman does it, she is often seen as ideal, but if a guy does it, he is often seen as having issues.

So I find it be a double standard, it seems.

Choosing not to have a partner is entirely okay for anyone.

MGTOW, according to wikipedia, base their choices on pretty toxic beliefs - and these beliefs are the problem.

I can't tell for the whole society, especially that we live in different cultures, but on WrongPlanet.net, promoting any gender-generalizing bigotry is unwelcome.

Good observation, ironpony. Next, look up the BLACK PILL.

Oh okay thanks, but when I read the article, it says this:

"At the center of MGTOW ideology is the notion of male separatism and the belief that society has been corrupted by feminism.[9][20] MGTOW groups are misogynist and anti-feminist, believing that feminism has made women dangerous to men, and that male self-preservation requires dissociating completely from women.[21] They believe there is systemic gynocentric bias against men, including double standards in gender roles[20] and bias against men in family courts.[11] MGTOW groups share a belief common among other manosphere groups that women follow a similar pattern in dating and marriage: young and attractive women are promiscuous and engage in "hypergamy", having sex with numerous men and abandoning a man if a "higher-value" man shows interest. They believe women gravitate towards "alpha men" who are attractive but mistreat them, and that this solidifies their beliefs in feminism. As the women begin to age, the MGTOW ideology explains that they choose to settle down with "beta males" who provide for them financially, but to whom they deny sex, sometimes choosing to have sex with attractive men outside of their marriage. Finally, the ideology holds that the women will divorce their husbands, and that courts will favor the women in divorce proceedings due to what they describe as female privilege.[22]"

However I have known guys who have gfs or wives that denied them sex, and have cheated on them just like in the article. Is it considered misygonist, like the article says, if a guy doesn't wan their partner to cheat, based on guys I know where this has happened to them? It happened to me in a past relationship as well. But just because I don't want a partner to cheat, doesn't mean I have misogynistic beliefs, does it?

MGTOW is based upon negative perceptions.

Of course not, in answer to your question. Why would it be misogynist for a man to not want a woman to cheat? But that's not the point.

And no, I don't like it when a woman wants to "go out on her own." And she might have beliefs that go against men. This sort of thing is wrong, too.

But still, the MGTOW, much of the time, is based upon false suppositions. Why get involved in that stuff?

No, it is misogynic to promote a belief that all women cheat.
And it's misandrist to promote a belief that all men cheat.
Discussing experiences with individuals who have cheated is okay.

You don't talk about this stuff with your girlfriend, Ironpony?
