Red Pill ideology isn’t just hateful and misogynistic; it’s also a remarkably bleak way to look at the world, even for the men who supposedly benefit the most from taking “the red pill” — that is, the allegedly smooth players who boast about bedding so many women on “game” blogs.
Take, for example, what you might call the “spoiled milk” theory of marriage that’s sometimes trotted out on these blogs.
Since women reach their prime young, the theory goes, then rapidly lose their looks and their value after “hitting the wall” at the age or 25 or 30, it only makes sense to marry a woman when she’s young — so you get to have sex with her before she gets all old and hideous.
If you marry her later, this means that someone else has had her at her best — and you haven’t!
As the blogger at LaidNYC argues in a post titled “Don’t Marry Any Woman Older Than 25,”
If you meet your wife when she’s older than around 23 or 24:
You are eating someone else’s cold leftovers, then doing their dishes.
You are showing up to a party after everyone has left and cleaning up after them.
You are getting into a taxi and paying the fare of the person who got out before you.
You are taking the nearly expired milk to the grocery store counter and offering to pay double for it.
He goes on in this fashion for some time.
You are paying for someone’s credit card bill full of reckless spending and partying that you never got to enjoy. …
You are trying to unclog somebody else’s clogged toilet.
Ok, now that last one didn’t even make sense.
Anyway, after running out of metaphors, LaidNYC gets to his point:
A girl who refuses to get married young is offering a raw deal. She is vastly overvaluing her product, and undervaluing your time and money.
Marriage only makes sense for a man when a girl’s prime years of beauty and fertility are upfront payment for a lifetime of loving masculine support.
LaidNYC goes on to suggest that women who are too picky when they’re young will end up regretting it later:
Is it any wonder, then, that as females are delaying marriage longer, they are finding less willing men?
Youthful arrogance is the yellow brick road to spinsterhood.
But I want to go back to that previous bit:
Marriage only makes sense for a man when a girl’s prime years of beauty and fertility are upfront payment for a lifetime of loving masculine support.
Can you imagine a more depressing way to look at marriage? If you’re so twisted by your misogyny that you can’t see value in your wife after she hits the age of 30 or so, and stick with her only out of a sense of obligation because she fucked you when she was 25, well, dude, you deserve to be miserable. And I can only hope your wife leaves you for someone who can appreciate her in the here and now.
Misogynistic assholes are at least as good at making themselves miserable as they are at making things shitty for other people.
@WWTH:
That’s a more likely reading. I was probably being too optimistic.
Indeed, it would be out of line to expect you to apologize for something you never did.
@WWTH
It’s a regular pattern, isn’t it? I think we should all change our handles to “AlphaThunderChadBroThrust” and confuse the hell out of these trolls. At least then they couldn’t play the “I ONLY TALK TO PENISES” card in order to weasel out of engaging in rational debate.
None of these trolls ever realize how cowardly and insecure it makes them look when they’re unable to parry even the mildest counterpoints from women. They swagger in here saying “I’m so smart, I’m more rational, I can logic” but then, faced with actually having to demonstrate it, they crumble. How superior can you really be if you have to resort to artificial boundaries, mobile goalposts, cheat codes, and Calvinball rules to keep up the illusion?
And yet, men have the authority to grant themselves authority? Because they’re men?
Are circles also circular?

Kevin’s going to want this link.
I need to work less, so I can lurk more, because I missed Kevin!
Ironically, I know a lot of super nice and not at all jerkish Kevins. Yet, even for those Kevins, since I am a massive dork, my mental image when I hear Kevin is still…
And the “MRAs who aren’t also literal Nazis” counter remains at zero.
I am always bemused by dudes on the internet who hate women, who stroll into a blog that revolved around talking about dudes on the internet who hate women, and then say, “HA, I am a dude on the internet who hates women!” as if that’s supposed to sting or be even remotely surprising.
I don’t know what’s funnier, the unashamed admittion that he considers women ‘property’ or the blatant sexism in giving respect only to EJ’s post where EJ ‘just happens’ to mention his membership to the sausage club.
Also, it’s really telling that his definition of ‘male space’ is ‘a place where young men emotionally beat each other up in order to assert their masculinity. I mean, it’s not wrong, it’s just quite interesting that he advocates for this as if it’s a good thing.
With pleasure.

(The last one is just DA inspired but I love it too much.)
The reaction’s always the same on our behalf as well: “Yes, thank you for proving my point sir, here’s some mockery, run along now.”
