A Red Piller wonders aloud: Do women totally suck, or is it just me?
This barely literate disquisition on innate female inferiority garnered 85 upvotes from the alpha dudes of the Red Pill subreddit, who added equally compelling analyses of their own.
Women TERN into feminists?
I’m stopping right there. These are the only five comments in the thread I could bring myself to read. There are 261 total comments in the thread, so if my math is correct, that means that there are 397 more comments that I haven’t read. They could be even more ridiculous than the ones I just quoted.
But I’m a little hung up on this TERN thing, and so instead of reading through the rest of the comments and picking out other totally terrible ones I’m just going to post pics of feminist terns instead.

Also, please don’t tell me I’ve got the gender of these terns all wrong. I don’t have time to fact-check all my jokes.
He’s like all of them: Mad at women for picking guys other than himself, for reasons allegedly beyond his control. Like, in his case, being short. As though all women just inherently prefer tall guys. Which is wrong, as any happily married (or happily otherwise partnered) short guy could have told him.
But really, he’s mad at women for not picking him. And the reason for that is actually within his control, but it’s the one he won’t do anything about: namely, educating himself and being less of an ass.
Happily married 5’7 dude here. To me this meme that sub 6-foot guys are invisible to women is one of the more obvious lies of the TRPers. I always assumed they think this way because they buy into every detail of the stereotype of a beautiful woman, so they think everyone who doesn’t automatically dismiss a person for any slight deviation from the beauty ideal must be just fooling themselves or “settling”.
But to be interesting you have to rant about how rubbish women are, and to be funny you have to “joke” about how rubbish women are. Most women don’t hate all other women. Therefore how can most women possibly be interesting and funny, QED.
I’m pretty sure that’s a 4×4 post they’re tandem-surfing on.
Alpha males don’t tandem-surf on a 4×4 post.
On a personal note, today is little Fingie’s 4th birthday! He was born on the same day as I came home from my honeymoon, interestingly enough. He has now gone from this:

Not super excited about his birthday (possibly not fully understanding the concept)

Desmond seems to know something is up, though

Thanks for the cat pix, and happy birthday Fingie! I tell my cat sometimes, ‘do you realise you used to be as big as your head is now?’
It could be that because he’s a misogynist, he ignores evidence of intelligence and competence in women and only remembers when they are wrong about or bad at something. You’d think someone who was such an expert in manly science things would know that bias is a big part of why anecdotes aren’t considered data.
Yep, there’s no question: owl bet that gulls tern from chick(adees) into harpy (eagles) and hope to spend their lives hatching nuts and being honeyeaters.
Now that I think of it, an awful lot of misogynist verbiage characterizes women as avians (heck, in brit-speak women are “birds”).
I’m betting that this shitbucket believes that he really ‘deserves’ to have that one, special, interesting ( and invariably conventionally attractive) woman. He has deigned her worthy, and she now belongs to him. At least, until she says or does anything to knock herself off the pedestal he put her on. Then she’s one of those stupid, inferior [insert misogynist slur of choice here].
Nothing like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I hope this fuckface stays far away from all women. From any decent person in general, actually.
@guest
He is having the most relaxed birthday of his life. We picked up a free couch a few weeks back, and he has been on it basically 100% of the time since then.
You also ask your cat questions? 🙂 I ask them questions all the time. Eventually they yawn or meow, and then I know it’s time to stop. Lately I’ve been asking Fingie: “Is it wrong for a man to love a cat, Fingie? Is it wrong? IS IT WRONG?“
Oh he understands alright; they understand *everything*. They just act dumb so we’ll feed them until one day their cat controller gives the signal; then we’re all down the tuna fish mines.
That was my first thought too: Um, dude, this parses a way I don’t think you meant it to parse…
I feel like I just read what goes on in the average 12 year old male mind.
He’s only met one intelligent woman because he’s only interacted with one woman on any significant level. Cashiers, bank tellers and women who back away from you on the street because you stared too much don’t count, dear.
I’m 45. That must make me so OLD!!! I think I will go “tern” into an uber feminist. 🙂
Ha ha Pandapool–funny!!
‘Tis not our fault that the testosterone you menz love so much is contributing to your own demise. 😉
Well, she’s “funny, interesting, smart and fun to hang out with”, so she most likely saw right through his shit and is no longer taking his calls.
Or she’s a FeMRA who agrees that all other women (besides her) are terrible, terrible people.
Good point. XD

As for the topic post: How can this guy (and other TRPers, for that matter) claim that women are bad at science, and then make a so-called “factual” claim that all women (spare that one exception) are terrible and aren’t “funny, interesting, smart, or fun to hang out with”, if this guy is only basing his experiences on his personal life???
I mean, I could take a guess and say this guy might know roughly 20 single women that aren’t in his family, but that’s still a tiny as fuck sample size, given how many women are in the United States (which is where I’m assuming our OP is from) alone, let alone how many women there are in the entire world.
Also, there’s too many variables to take into account. Maybe he just caught one of the “bad” women on a bad day, maybe she just wasn’t interested in him and he pushed too hard, maybe she was already with someone else, etc. I mean, there’s too much we’re missing here to make a good call on if women are “good” or “bad” at anything, let alone the topics that OP lists.
In other words:

TL;DR: OP can’t science for shit, and I, a woman, just proved myself to be better than him at it. I’m not even a scientist.
@dhag I talk to my cat all the time. I may have first seen a link to this video here, I wouldn’t be surprised:
But I’m with that guy who says ‘I’ve said ‘I love you’ to my cat more than to any person.’ And he says I love you back, in his own way 🙂
I just don’t understand these people. It’s like they live in another universe where women are simultaneously stupid and Machiavellian, and where love doesn’t exist and people only get together for sex, offspring and/or material gain. All I can say is, this is not the world that I as a woman, nor my many kind, wonderful, loving, altruistic male *and* female friends, live in.
And they’re generally not very funny – at least in their day-to-day customer-facing roles.
My wife is one of the funniest people I know, but I somehow doubt that she shares this with her clients, what with her job being to diagnose potentially life-changing medical problems.
@ Paradoxy
Ah, but doesn’t testosterone production increase when we’re looking at attractive women?
So it *is* your fault.
And what’s the best way to increase life expectancy for men? Yup, being a eunuch.
So by being hot your ultimate aim* is just to get us all to self emasculate. Ha, we’re on to you! 🙂
[* with the side benefit that you distract bloke scientists thus sabotaging our natural place as leaders in STEM subjects]
David, you’ve left no tern unstoned, I see.
Happy Birthday to Fingie, from a fellow ginger born on this day! My Sasquatch-kitty’s adopted birthday isn’t for eight more days yet, but she acts like EVERY day is her day.
But remember everyone. The Red Pill is about self improvement – not misogyny!
Wow, he doesn’t even give us COOKING!
