Sometimes cis men who hate women get so fed up with all the unfair advantages women allegedly have in the contemporary world — the bon bons, the free dinners, the wide assortment of penis pics sent to them by their many suitors — that they threaten to become women themselves. Just to prove to you ladies how easy you have it!
Indeed, the Red Pill Redditor who calls himself a1004 is so convinced that women have it so easy that he predicts a giant wave of these gender upgrades in the near future, as more and more men realize how many cool perks they can get just by putting on a dress and proclaiming themselves women.
Or just by proclaiming themselves women, without even bothering to change their wardrobes, or anything else, at all.
A1004 — who clearly knows less about the realities of trans life than, I dunno, my cats –is convinced that within a few years, at most, Europeans and Americans will be able to officially change gender by just ticking a box on a government form.
As sexuality orientations are becoming more complex, and we are supposed to accept anything – like woman who change their sex just to became a gay man or the reversal – or even giving them more rights than people with standard and boring sexualities, it make sense to change just for the advantages.
Who knew that trans folks actually had “more rights” and easier lives than their cis counterparts?
Oh, and fellas, in case you’re worried about having your you-know-what you-know-whatted, don’t worry, you won’t have to bother with hormones or surgery or any of that stuff!
I don’t say you go into a terrible operation that will mutilate your body. You can be a woman’s mind trapped in a man’s body or whatever random crazy idea you decide. You will be able to change your gender in your legal documents just because you want, no questions asked.
Just think of all the advantages! Like, for example, getting to use women’s bathrooms!
No, really, that’s bullet point number four in A1004’s Top Five list of the amazing advantages you’ll get from making the switch. Apparently he’s cribbing some of his ideas from the fundamentalists and TERFs who consider the idea of trans women using women’s bathrooms as a sign of the apocalypse.
But let’s let him explain:
-
You can do sports in the women categories. From being amateur you can even became professional.
-
Probably if your wife have a baby, you will get the right to get double maternity leaves.
-
You will have chances to work in positions with female quotas, like engineer jobs. Your dream of working in Google is easier to get if you just change your gender instead of studding harder or getting an extra master.
-
You can start a social earthquake any time you decide you want to go to women’s restrooms. Because you can.
-
Are you getting divorced? It can be a great legal technique to get more assets or even the childcare.
But wait, there’s more!
Options are endless. Funny fact: probably not a single disadvantage. It will make total sense when women’s rights go through the roof (a pattern we see increasing constantly) and rights for weird-sexual people allow any kind of dissonance. In Europe, where same sex marriage is widespread allowed, it is a matter of months we will start seeing this.
So invest in bon bon stocks, because they’re gonna be going through the roof!
Naturally, the regulars on the Red Pill subreddit are convinced that this will totally happen, and that, oh boy, it’s going to piss off women — or at least those women who aren’t actually cis dudes declaring that they’re women out of spite.
As PandaMania3 sees it,
This is literally taking the Feminist bullshit and giving it an amused mastery upgrade.
Abetterarsonist, meanwhile, thinks of Dungeons and Dragons.
This is like min-maxing in d&d. “No, my character is a male who thinks he’s a woman, so he gets a +2 circumstance bonus to professional victim checks.”
For redpillstoner, though, even a boatload of lady advantages won’t convince him to give up being a dude.
No matter how many advantages women get I would never give up my masculinity and I’m willing to bet most men here feel the same way
Not changshuaidiao, a Navy man who says he’s more than ready to make the switch:
I’m in the navy, and I’ve already decided that if they allow transgenderedism in the navy I’m going to identify as a butch lesbian woman so I can grow my hair out and not shave, as based on some of the stache I see chicks sporting, there don’t seem to be any regs requiring females to groom their facial hair. All the perks without any drawbacks, and maybe some really open-minded lesbians will let me pound th…
I’m just going to cut that quote off there. You can probably guess where it was going. Even when they’re pretending that they want to become women, Red Pill dudes can’t shut up about their dicks.
I think “amused mastery” means “an insufferable attitude of smug superiority.”
I’d say all these red pill guys should just go gay… but the gay community has suffered enough without adding red pillers to their woes.
@Scented Fucking Hard Chairs
“Amused mastery”? That’s the way a sexist man normally treats a woman. No matter what she says or does, look slightly amused and superior. Say something condescending.
Alternative modes of behavior:
Look angry and say something threatening.
Look lustful and say something lascivious.
yep, they got me, i’m totally in it for the perks of being female, there are definitely no downsides to being transgender, nope, not a bit. Meanwhile, sexbots are real, donating money to MRA organisations is totally worthwhile and women secretly love that you’re a horrible person with bizarre ideas who blames all their problems on women, who are simultaneously grand masterminds forming a secret cabal specifically to get you down and also children who cannot be trusted to fend for themselves. Cognitive dissonance only happens to other people! Imaginary backwards land is a hell of a place, folks!
I haven’t read the comments yet, because I think my face finally did “stick like that” — ō.Ô
My eyebrows, ironically, have been fixed by Kahlo and her vodka fueled toilet breakage. So something good came of your crime!
Only perk of being a woman that I can think of? My short self would like it if chunky heeled boots =/= female. So you have the perk of heels. Granted, that’s like the perk of the ladies room, sure, there might be comfy chairs, but That Line!
Yeah, I just can’t with this. My day has involved risking putting my hand directly into a cat fight (luckily our newcomer did as I’d figured and nope’ed instead of fighting), and holding a somewhat frightened kitty two feet away from a curious, very large, dog. After yesterday being Family Gathering day, I’m fresh fucking out of spoons, I’ll give the transphobia the smack down it deserves tomorrow!
But I think “amused mastery” is a RPG type reference — skill: amusement, raise to level: master.
Jennifer King — congrats! It’s a weird feeling going out presenting how it feels right and taking the stares with a “yeah well fuck you too” attitude, keep doing you, these assholes exist, sure, but so do people like your friends, and us, and lots of other people who’ve got your back. Good luck!
One more post and then I’ll stop making this the All About Me show — http://lifemix.today/lifestyle/hands-overloaded-with-cuteness/
BABY ANIMALS!!! Lots of mammals, some frogs and turtles and birds, a lizard a snake and a fish even!
These boys know nothing about the real world. They live in some sort of Red Pill bubble that I imagine looks a lot like mom’s basement.
Gah? In countries with equal parental leave, or at least in Canada, you can split the year between the parents, although most people only do one or the other to get the full year or because one parent earns a lot more money than the other (parental leave here pays about the same as unemployment insurance, so unless your employer tops it off, you earn less for your year off). A friend of mine took paternity leave when his daughter was born, although he only did a few months.
@WWTH
Was it a matching set? I mean, if there was no chance of replacing the panties and one didn’t want to be stuck with the bra that was part of a matching set rendered pointless, might as well ditch them both.
OT: There’s a helicopter that seems to be hovering over my neighborhood, with that intensely bright spotlight on and everything. Dog going bonkers, maybe she thinks its planning to land on the roof?
Don’t only some places have chairs because of the wait, though?
I can’t deal with all the crap in that red pill dude’s post, so I’m just gonna get high and think out loud for a bit.
I’ve thought about how cool it would be to be a girl, but I will readily admit that this is because I have watched a fair amount of Japanese animes. 😛
I can’t decide who I would want to be if I was given the option to switch. I’d either want to be a tall, athletic black woman, a slim, compact Asian woman, or a queenly blonde Nordic woman.
When I was playing Destiny (the game), I rolled a muscular black woman with long orange dreadlocks, who was a Titan (that’s an uber-strong Space Marine type character like the Master Chief).
I had a lot of fun walking around and causing people to stop what they were doing and stare at me. They would walk around me in little circles, or just stop walking and turn towards me. All the attention was fun.
I enjoyed scaring people a little by standing in front of them. They would walk backwards a few paces.
I was quite friendly and helped people on their quests, don’t worry. I wasn’t there to just harass other people. 😛
I had to stop at cis people’s genders being both standard and boring for a break.
Superior and self-pitying? I need time to process how twisted that line of thinking is.
Being the standard and only “right” sort of gendered person is boring? Does he mean “boring” like “as a comforming cis dude I don’t have to worry about being killed for my gender expression”? Is that the excitment he’s being denied?
I’m hoping for voluntary matrix myself.
I want to watch bad-ass female athletes break them. They seriously think that they could keep up?
Average men’s finishing time at the Boston Marathon is 3 hrs, 51 mins (average of 8:49 a mile). Top-finishing female runners? 2 hrs, 24 min to 2 hrs 40 mins (the range for the top 15 female finishers). That is an average of just under 5:30 per mile to 6:06 per mile.
Of course, this is average for marathon runners, who aren’t exactly “average” compared to the rest of the population, even the slowest runners. We are not talking couch potatoes or people who go to the gym twice a month.
The idea that any of these guys could just get up, register as “female,” and then start participating in a sport at a professional level in women’s divisions is fucking HILARIOUS.
And to top it all off? 15th place makes a whopping $1,500 for their performance. Now, I would LOVE to make $1,500 for 2 hrs and 40 minutes of work. But I think it is a misrepresentation to say that it is $1,500 for 2 hrs 40 minutes worth of work. Years of work went into getting to under-three-hour-marathon shape and $1,500 doesn’t come close to compensating for that.
Naira,
It would be funny to watch red pillers try to join a gymnastics competition and compete against the best elite female gymnast.

The images of manospherans trying to imitate these routines is quite comical.
@Argenti
Glad I could be of service!
“You can do sports in the women categories. From being amateur you can even became professional.”
Well, someone’s been watching Futurama.
I often see assholes threaten to pretend to be trans women, mainly to sneak into women’s restrooms, yet I’ve yet to hear of anyone actually doing it. It’ll happen around the same time two straight guys do a “Chuck and Larry” to get those sweet gay-marriage perks.
What do they think they’re even going to see in women’s restrooms? They have stalls.
weirwoodtreehugger
Well if they were matching, the bra would always be a reminder. Plus if the flushing failed and somebody saw them, imagine if it was somebody who saw me in the bra?? They’d know! Yeah, the bra definitely has to go too…
Aaaanyway!
From the post:
Or you can try to petition the US to adopt paternity leave as commonly as maternity leaves. Or a non-gendered parental leave, so that maaaybe when a baby is born there will be less pressure on any particular parent to be the caregiver.
Of course to them, if a man is hired, it’s because he’s skilled. But if a woman’s hired, it’s a quota.
As others have said, enjoy your quick trips to the restroom! If we move to gender neutral restrooms, you guys will be stuck in line with us! Mwa ha ha ha!
@Naira
I was just about to point that out. I’m still baffled where MRAs got the idea that being male can automatically make up for years of training and conditioning when competing against a woman.
sigh.
i was really hoping this would be about some vision of the future, like their sex bot dreams, in which there exists something like Calvin & Hobbes’s transmogrifier to allow people to more or less magically transform their bodies into different shapes to switch sex that way. that would be a lot more fun and interesting than the terribly facepalm-inducing and yet depressing posts/comments that engendered this post…
Same here, and all those logs of sexual roleplays I have saved on my…
I’ve probably given you guys TMI by this point, so I’ll stop right here.
@brian
That would be jawesome.
@ultimateprotagonistnerd
My logs got frizzled in an awful incident where one of my hard disks gave out.
Now that I’ve got HDtune to monitor the health of my HDDs, that’s never happening again.
Were these logs from MU*s, by any chance?
If the change were relatively quick (like, anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours), then that would be hell on law enforcement. Make yourself look like someone else, commit a crime, switch back. Worse if you can change your DNA too.
Though it would be interesting to see how some people would choose to look if “human” isn’t the only option…
I’m a woman in IT (about a quarter century now) and I used to encounter this weird belief that there was a quota for women, and that significant numbers of jobs were being held open for them. But of course the women weren’t qualified, so the jobs stayed empty. Men were moaning on job seeker discussion boards about all these jobs that were off-limits to them because of the gender quota, and that’s why they were struggling to find work.
But I spent the ‘aughts as an IT manager, with hiring authority, and no way are there jobs being held open for women. Most IT departments are all-male revues or close to it. If it’s different, you’re probably looking at a governmental entity.
