I don’t often call out the extreme misandrist “feminists” of the world. That isn’t because I support them, I certainly don’t, it just because at this time and place in my life I’m rarely ever around them. The man haters don’t follow me around rooms to tell me exactly why men suck, but the red pill crew do follow me around rooms to tell me why women suck. Good times.

It is important to call out the ugly when you see it, but also to be careful about how you do it. Some of these hate peddlers are very deserving of some harsh language… Tate… the ladies of The View, etc. But they won’t see your words, who will see your words are people who aren’t pushing hate for personal gain but just people who are struggling.

A lot of men who consume red pill content are just confused young men scared about how to navigate a changing world. Most of the women consuming extremist feminists material are survivors of violent sexual assault. Putting these people down or mocking them won’t improve things.

It’s always a good idea to call out horrendous ideas when you see them. But if you mock people, or whole categories of people (men and women) instead of ideas, you are just throwing fuel on a dumpster fire.

I tried to zap this but got a receiving error.

ya it's broken right now, ugh.

I had to look up what 'red pill content' means.

"Online, red pill is especially used among anti-feminist and white supremacist groups to refer to “waking up” to the truth that women and liberal politics are oppressing men and white people."

I didn't know that was a thing. Let alone that you'd actively be followed around rooms for it.

Yup, it's a thing... that follows me around rooms.

Pretty crazy..

There's a certain popular npub that constantly goes out of their way to demoralize the men of Nostr, expecting all men to play a hypermasculine role instead of accepting who they are. I cut them off since it seemed to never dawn upon them that most people are struggling and are starved of affection

I had my own "red pill" phase that I had to recover from. Fortunately, those days are behind me
