Food for thought for those of us who feel miserable in our loneliness, to the point that we think the grass is greener on the other side despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

My biggest takeaway, beneath the facade of comedy, was

We use another person to distract us, whenever any slightly painful or challenging internal matter comes into view ... So many big questions about our careers, or our ultimate purpose that we will ignore, because there was someone on hand, to chat to about what to order in for dinner

When I realized this, I understood that I wasn't trying to make friends with

My cousin (39F) called me up yesterday to tell me she was thinking of ending her marriage of 12 years. Because she makes ten times as much as her husband, I told her that he'll probably get half of everything she has (marital assets), and to my surprise she was okay with it. Credit where credit's due, this woman stands up for equality even when it disadvantages her. However, this made me think that perhaps, in some circumstances, marriage is not such a risky deal, from a legal perspective. Note I have already used the "legal" disclaimer, lest those of you who have dated career women comment about other problems which arise in such a relationship.

I must admit I was completely blindsided t

Me: No, thank you.

Me: Don't have kids.

I've noticed a handful of occurrences where married men on this sub were being questioned about being MGTOW. Although I'm happy to note that such questions were more in the form of mild curiosity than an attempt of what would be considered gatekeeping, their endorsement of MGTOW did pique my curiosity.

To be honest, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I considered all married men to be "Blue Pilled cucks". Men usually discover the Red Pill via firsthand or secondhand experience, which usually involves divorce rape or adultery. So you can imagine the extent of my surprise at discovering married men here (as in still married).

However, the wisdom in their words has left me no doubt of the po

I was thinking about points for debate for traditionalist arguments (she will cook and clean for you, she will take care of you when you are unwell, she will provide companionship when you're old), but realized that those arguments have become outdated, notwithstanding feminism. I think technology has played the most significant hand in this, especially once smartphones became ubiquitous.

To be fair, I live in a metro so maybe I have a skewed perspective, so I'd like to know if any of this applies to rural areas too. Even assuming I'm a total slob, I can order food at the click of a button, have a cleaning service, hang out with like minded individuals from all over the world via social med

My folks were watching some movie called "Mardaani" or whatever and there was a scene where Rani Mukherjee went on a rant about how women are oppressed in India and to translate a part of it - "We only want equality. And to those who complain about how there are spaces reserved in public buses and trains exclusively for women, you don't get to make that comment unless you bleed three days a month". The (lack of) logic in this comment absolutely blew my mind!!! I've been thinking and trying to research about feminism in India ever since.

As expected, most mainstream coverage glorifies how much progress feminism has made in India by enacting laws to protect women. Lurking on this and the MGTO

Is there a way to expose someone to MGTOW / Red Pill content without them immediately getting defensive and rejecting it automatically? It appears to me that most of it is only aimed at people who are already Red Pilled. Otherwise, any criticism of women, however mild and/or true, even those that are painfully and observably obvious, is treated as misogyny. The only way I can see men swallowing the Red Pill is after being on the wrong end of women's cruelty. Or the much rarer case is by keeping an open mind and noticing how reality does not conform to what we're taught. Either way does not provide a means for the presence of a third party.

Every time friends, family or acquaintances try to

I have been consuming a lot of Red Pill content over the past few weeks, and stumbled across this video when I was searching for bachelor tax, which I believe will be the next attack on men by society if this MGTOW thing gets any serious traction. Turns out this has been done before in other societies (Ancient Rome) and is emblematic of the downfall of a culture. Also, "bachelor tax" is already present, just sold as a "marriage incentive" instead; it was quite eye-opening.

I actually proceeded to buy this guy's book - Rise of Men - which I found to be a fantastic digestable explanation of the Red Pill concepts, from a dispassionate point
