Great news, ladies! The Red Pill subreddit is hiring … wives.
In a recent post on the subreddit, someone calling himself, ahem, afterthe_fapocalypse argued that when it comes to finding a wife, men should “look for an employee not a partner” because, you know, equality is simply out of the question.
“Having my shit together,” he writes,
no woman can be a partner to me. None. They just aren’t built like that. And as the relationship manager then, my role is not to look for a partnership but to hire an employee. A high-level one, but someone who will work for me and develop the next generation of employees (children) growing up. That will be her project. Mine is ensuring that the whole system (family) functions.
What a romantic!
If this dude, god forbid, ever gets married I hope his soon-to-be-ex-wife cites this post of his in her divorce filing.

Dude, if you don’t want a family, that’s fine. Just don’t have one. It’s cool. You don’t have to.
@A Happy Dude
We’re all misogynistic?
Oh. Well, that’s not actually exactly what we criticize. But whatever, I’m picking up what you’re putting down. Let’s see some examples of us being misandristic (or whatever).
Citation needed.
Explain to me how divorce is equivalent to rape, thanks.
What is hardwork? How are we taking it? Further explanation is needed.
I’ve never cheated on anyone, so citation needed.
I have never accused anyone of rape falsely or accurately, so citation needed.
How are sperm receptacle expiry dates set? Related: Did you know that women are people and not things?
I don’t know what the wall is, but my understanding from your manosphere buds is that I have reached it or passed it, and I’m not expecting anyone to marry me, so citation needed.
I don’t think this accurately describes anyone’s feelings here, so citation needed.
I just googled ‘Quiverfull Movement’. Seems like they took ‘Every Sperm is sacred’ by Monty Python as an instruction manual.
I feel they need to watch this:
Of course, my previous comment, @A Happy Dude, only applies if your comment was meant to indicate that all of the women who frequent this blog have done/thought everything you attribute to women in your comment. There exist two more charitable interpretations of your comment.
The first kinder interpretation is that a single woman reading your comment, but not all women reading your comment, is responsible for doing/thinking everything you have indicated she does and thinks. If this was your intended meaning, you will still need to explain how divorce is at all comparable to rape, what “hardwork” means, and how sperm receptacles pass their expiry dates. You will also need to support your claim that a single woman who reads these comments has done everything you have attributed to her.
The second more generous interpretation is that no one woman has necessarily done everything you’ve listed, but that at least one woman has done the first thing, at least one woman (not necessarily the same one) has done the second thing, and et cetera down the list. In that case, you will still need to explain the divorce = rape, “hardwork,” and sperm receptacle claims I have outlined above. You will also need to explain how five or six different women doing five or six different things means all women are responsible for all of the things.

When did we get a new troll?
Might be a drive-by. Let’s see if they ever respond back.
And where exactly is this imaginary wall supposed to lie, Mr. Pilled? Because I just wedded a very good man in my far-from-virginal thirties (read: an actual good man and not a piller like yourself), and the median age for first marriages only continues to rise every year. Sounds like this undefeatable wall of yours is eroding, no?
Or, is it just a ridiculous boogeyman entirely made up by insufferable shitheads in a feeble attempt to scare younger women into settling for them? It doesn’t appear to be working. Frankly I, nor any self-respecting woman I know young or old, wouldn’t touch your ilk if they were the last available on earth.
There’s more — much, much more — from this guy:
Dude, you are writing this for a quarantined subreddit. Do you really think women go there looking for husbands. Do you really think this kind of attitude works in real life. You’re hiring — but is anyone applying.
Soon I’ll be in my thirties? Where do I sign up?
@A Happy Dude
One hell of an alias for someone who seems content to piss and moan, and sound quite silly to boot.
Do you genuinely think you’re going to get through to us by -checks notes- reiterating the same talking points Dave has been dealing with since the 5th gen of Pokemon had dropped?
There’s many a reason we think they’re nonsense, but we think you already know why. You’re just a man in a pigeon suit trying to take up the whole chessboard.
(Also, some of us have highly questionable taste in men, at least in fiction. [Oh, Teruteru Hanamura, why must you be such a terrible bitch and yet so tubby!?] Surely there’s someone out there that could justify you in reality just as well…)
Am I sleeping? Or is a good man marrying my ass? Or my sperm receptacle? Is a wall moving toward me? This guy’s prose is dizzying.
@Lainy
Wishing you and your new husband much happiness in your life together.
@Sarity
Another wedding? All best wishes for a lifetime of happiness for you and your husband.
@Kat, Thanks very much! Don’t recall as if I’ve mentioned any other wedding though, this is my first and only (I can only imagine any other mention might have had to do with my former fiance with whom it fell through, for the better).
Lainy mentioned getting married recently.
Best wishes to both of you.
Congratulations to Lainey and to Sarity and to your newly married beloveds and long may your happiness reign!
And, let there be sufficient cats and comfy shoes for all who desire them.
Congratulations to the newlyweds! And for those who still feel like newlyweds!
Guess our latest troll is just a drive-by. I wonder if he totally missed my reference to Mr. Parasol in my earlier comment, or if he thinks Mr. Parasol is a figment of my imagination?
Ah, of course ? That’s what I get for spotty visits to the community. My congratulations to Lainy as well!
You’d better believe together or apart, new hudband’s life and mine are unknowable without cats.
Somebody’s confused blow jobs with actual jobs.
Sarity and Lainy, congrats! Wishing you much happiness with your spouses.
@Lainy
Congratulations on your wedding! May you have many years of happiness with your new husband.
@Sarity
Congratulations on your wedding as well!
@Kat
That sounds like a description of an experimental horror film.
…
[Enter wedding venue. A minister is standing before a sleeping woman. A good man stands nearby.]
MINISTER: Do you, Goodman, take this ass and sperm receptacle to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Goodman: The walls are closing in.
[The walls of the venue begin to move closer as the woman awakes. She screams. End scene.]
@A Happy Dude
Funny, you don’t sound so happy. I’ll still Fisk your comment, though.
Umm…to do exactly what we criticize wouldn’t we have to have misogyny, not misandry? Misandry isn’t a real thing any more than racism against white people. But fine, find something here that is an example of misandry and report back.
I’m not actually looking for a man right now, thank you. I’ve also never “divorce raped” anyone because I’ve never been married and therefore by definition haven’t been divorced. Also, as other commenters have pointed out, divorce isn’t rape.
I am still not looking for a good man right now (maybe later, but I generally prefer relationships with women and non-binary people), but I definitely would not marry anyone who sees me as a used up ass or expired sperm receptacle. Also, if I ever am looking for a good man, I will not be looking in a misogynistic subreddit, because none of the men there are any good.
I’m not surprised or angry, seeing as what you’re describing doesn’t resemble the real world in any way. Mostly I’m just tired of reactionary misogynists like you.
That’s a new one. I’ve heard the tired stereotype of the feminist cat lady, but never have I heard of the feminists eating cat food. I’m not 30 yet, but I doubt that I will be wondering where all the good men have gone. There are still good men, and I know where to find them. The manosphere is not the place, though.
Side note: Is it just me, or have there been an abnormal number of driveby trolls the past few days? Maybe a link here got posted to the manosphere?
(Apologies if this double posts)
Ahhhh, I love weddings! Lainy, congratulations! Sarity, congratulations! May you and your spouses (and everyone else here!) be blessed with long lives filled with love, excellent health, and prosperity. Very best wishes to you all. <3
Congrats, Sarity and Lainy!
@Naglfar
I’m guessing it’s just people googling around for Jordan Peterson critics to raid.
This attitude even applied to actual jobs is so flawed. Entire industries have adopted this kind of attitude as an excuse to stop job training and hope that there are enough magical unicorns who just happened to obtain the right skills from the right connections, i.e. usually rich white guys. And then they hire the occasional #GirlBoss and brag about how progressive they are. Not only that but actually determining if somebody can perform can be a legitimately difficult task, especially when corporations are trying to get away with as little investment into hiring and training as possible. Interviews may demonstrate, maybe, that a candidate isn’t a bigoted PR disaster waiting to happen, but that’s about it.
Congratulations and best of health, wealth and happiness, love and luck to the newly weds.
I am way, way, way post “wall” (60 next b’day). Much to my surprise – I wasn’t looking and had no particular urge to partner up – I happened to find a good man. (It might have been a good woman.)
Both of us skint as a very skint thing, so neither can have married for money, but I did own the house and he was living in a caravan at the time. Neither of us employs the other except as an occasional volunteer back scratcher / opener of jars the other can’t twist / trier-outer of tales.
We continue to be married.
Adding to the congratulations to Lainy, Sarity, and spouses!
Coming back late to this (but that’s what happens when one works nights).
Congratulations to Lainy & Sarity!!! Lainy, it sounds like your big day went far better than just good. May both sets of newlyweds make many happy memories together.
As for our drivebys…”frustrated and in my thirties?” Really? So I’m actually Benjamin Button, cause–seriously–that would knock at least 20 years off my age.
Otherwise…*yawn*…I can’t be bothered.
