The Red Pill is Not Feminism
Feels Before Reals isn’t just for liberal-progressive Wokezi snowflakes.
According to contemporary TradCons’ misunderstanding of both the “Red Pill” and Feminism, both somehow share a lot in common. The list below is usually what follows when self-righteous OrthoBros need some comparison to conflate the Red Pill praxeology with Feminist ideology:
Condemn the opposite sex's promiscuity
“Remedy" by advancing promiscuity by your own sex
Mock chastity
Spurn marriage/fam
Pro-contraception
Mock Christianity
Talmudic view of sexuality
Egalitarian: women should be in the workforce (out of the home)
I’ll address each misconception individually to clarify them. However, there’s one overarching misconception that they all miss—the Red Pill is not an ideology. Feminism is. In its purest form, the Red Pill is a praxeology. This is a $10 word that most TradCons seem unwilling to look up on Google, so I’ll throw them a bone here:
Praxeology is the theory of human action based on the notion that humans engage in purposeful behavior, contrary to reflexive behavior and other unintentional behavior.
For the sake of brevity, we’ll use this stripped-down definition here, but if you want a more in-depth definition of Praxeology, read my essay, The Praxeology of the Red Pill. If you pull up the Webster’s Dictionary definition, you’ll get even more simplistic:
Praxeology: the study of human action and conduct
That’s it. The Red Pill is unconcerned with what anyone does with the information that the study of human action and conduct makes a person aware of. Because in its most ideal sense, the Red Pill is the praxeology of human intersexual dynamics. It is unconcerned with the best or worst practices that anyone infers from the interpretation of the data gathered and related by the praxeology of the Red Pill.
