Terrible, just terrible. It seems to be almost entirely insecure men who think of women as mindless sex objects. It is self defeating and pretty sad.

I'd like to know, Mr. freepcrusher, why you seem to be making so many posts about the Red Pill. Are you attracted to it, just interest, or what? It's kind of weirding me out that I go on the Atlas Forum and see stuff about the Red Pill which I got enough of on reddit.

There are plenty of weirdos and posers associated with it, but discovering it improved my life significantly.

I'd never heard of it before freepcrusher kept posting about it all the time, but they're obviously horrible misogynists.

Also I'm not sure I'd call a bunch of nerds who post on a certain subreddit a "movement". That's like talking about Atlasian political parties as if they were real world political forces.

What is it?  I tried to look on their reddit, but I couldn't really make heads or tails of what they're talking about.

Basically it's a cesspool of extremely bitter and hateful misogyny.  There's more to it, but that's really all you need to know.

I didn't make much sense of the subreddit when I saw a link to it here, nor do I have any idea about the goals or size of the supposed movement.

My hunch from the responses is that it's misguided people with an exaggerated sense of their significance, the type of thing that might have appealed to me as a smartass teenager.

I could change my mind if I see an objective explanation.

Googled it. So it's a bunch of people who talk online about the disenfranchisement of men, and about how women have it better.

That seems dumb.

that's not accurate.  that characterization better fits r/GreatApes or the less intellectual areas of Stormfront, where all that goes on is a contest to cram the most  hatred into a post as is possible.

RedPill isn't an echo chamber.  it more resembles a secular religion/cult, with certain rituals (working out, sex with multiple women), semi-sacred texts/beliefs, repeated cliches, etc.  despite all that it does deal with a significant social phenomenon -- the anomie of the young adult male -- which makes it interesting to study in a way that racial hate sites are not.

      For longer than I can fathom, men and women have not understood each other. Some folks have not handled this fundamental reality (yes, I just said "fundamental reality"; live with it) well. I disapprove of it, but I really don't see it as being any worse than some extremist forms of feminism that cross over into misandry.
