strictly keeping to the ‘uncomfortable truth’ of red pill, only as it pertains to men & women, it isn’t all that controversial…that the genders are fundamentally different in how they operate, are treated, & viewed in the world. in the things they each want, how they attract the other…and while these things aren’t necessarily exclusive to a particular sex, the import placed on these things are generally different and often in opposition to the strategy of the other sex.
some of that can seem ‘misogynistic’ but the reality would seem to reflect truth in that viewpoint. admittedly i haven’t gone fully down the path of exploring all the views of the red pill community, so there may well be more ‘toxic’ elements to it
i don’t believe there is an ‘attack of man or manhood’ however the general idea of men and their place in society does seem to be rapidly diminishing, and maybe, to an extent it was a necessary result of breaking the idea that women weren’t capable…looking at media/popular culture tho i don’t think there are many, if any at all, serious representations of masculinity as would be defined by most average men…everything (even the hyper masculine avatars that are visible) kinda seems as tho it is put through a filter of what would be acceptable to women; the future would definitely seem to be female, indeed to some detriment to the boys growing up now
these times any criticism levied on women from men, even just referring to ‘women’s nature’ is taken as an affront and/or misogyny whereas most any criticism of men, regardless to the actuality, is seen as valid; women will openly say they hate men in general (if not really specifically thinking of the actual ‘good’ men in their lives and simultaneously specifically conflating/projecting their negative experiences with the men in their actual lives onto men generally) or that men are trash, or call things about men’s behavior that are really just merely disadvantageous/inconvenient to women, toxic…no one jumps in to temper any of it, but a man saying women should be more feminine, friendly, watch their weight, be submissive to their men (whom the woman actually chose to allow in their own lives, to be clear), that being a single mother will have a deleterious impact on your dating/mating prospects and his passing elicits celebration as tho nothing man said was valid and it was all misogyny
it somewhat makes sense to me that some men would seek out these alternate communities that may have some appeal of ‘truth’ when mainstream culture both seemingly can’t/won’t acknowledge certain things that plainly appear true and is basically saying ‘you suck’ to men without money, power, or status…
