sure, one recent example is a post on Facebook that said "Ladies, if you were a man for a day, what would you do?" And I said "Go for a walk by myself at night." and that then kicked it off. Then I ge...
I wouldn't be surprised at men, especially young men, responding that way nowadays. The red pill community seems to me like a reaction to feeling demonized and they've overshot it by quite a bit. One of the common complaints I've heard about feminists is that the extreme cases start talking as if there's no difference between men and women at all. The red pill community took it so far the other way that they start demanding equal rights to women in a similar fashion, sometimes even responding to any expression of difficulties that women face with "men have problems, too". Examples like these make me feel like horseshoe theory might be a real thing; we all know too that, in a sense, harboured resentment ends up causing one to become what one resents. Anyway, I feel like that sort of thoughtless dismissal is way too common online bit, while it does likely show that a proportion of men are off-the-market as potential husbands and fathers - I.e. seems like an expression of "nothing worth protecting" - it shouldn't really effect the willingness to be a protector of those men who really love someone and/or their family. These red pill types seem like they are trying to reframe avoidance and giving up as some kind of positive version of "we don't need women"; again the horseshoe theory rears its head as they sound just like feminists saying "we don't need men". The hard thing is though that while these red pill types are wrong in that prescribed solution of avoiding woman, they have made reasonable observations about men who have decided to have a wife and a family, noting that it has become almost impossible to actually be the protector that women say that they want, largely because of what women have actually changed in politics and law.
