Originally, I was embraced as the “Auntie” of the manosphere – one of the few women empathic to male concerns. But as young (and not so young) men shared their newly acquired Red Pill views, I began to analyze and test those theories, most of which strained credulity. For example, PUA/Red Pill ideology dictates that 20% of men get 80% of women, and 80% of men get nothing.
(Professional Woman Hater Roosh now uses 10% as a figure.)
Using CDC and ABC News Poll data, I concluded that this claim was totally false, and documented my analysis in the 2010 article
Sex and the Pareto Principle. I naively expected my male readers to welcome this as good news – after all, it suggests that mating opportunities are plentiful and widely distributed for both sexes. Instead I was met with anger and claims that my research was bogus. The CDC was dismissed as a biased, misandrist data source.
Two years ago I wrote
The Definitive Survey of College Students’ Sexual Behavior by Gender. Again, I felt encouraged. The data from a dozen different sources clearly demonstrated that hookup culture might be the prevailing script, but only 10-20% of students were engaging in no-strings sex. (This finding has since been widely publicized in the mainstream media.)
That meant the prognosis for those young people wanting emotionally intimate sex was very good. But once again, I was shouted down for discrediting the “alpha male” myth, and for suggesting that those “lucky” males were not corrupting the girls otherwise earmarked for Red Pillers.
I was baffled. Here I was, trying to help young men get access to real and encouraging data. Yet with just a few exceptions, they clung tenaciously to their Red Pill beliefs – that women are sexually feral with top alpha males, and would rather have 5 minutes with one of them than a lifelong happy marriage with a disgusting beta male (another tenet of the Red Pill).
The Red Pill lets guys off the hook. If they can’t get a woman, it’s due to the defects innate to the female sex. For many, the strategy of passing blame is more psychically rewarding than the strategy of taking responsibility.
but god damn I want him to die. I cannot understand how someone can even joke about throwing acid in someone's face for any reason. That's one of the worst things you can do to a person.
