The big problem with a lot of Redpill ideas isn’t that they are false. The problem is that they are half true. Instead of offering well thought through guidance to men, much Redpill thinking remains at the level of slogan, of shibboleth, of cliche.
This is beautiful. I wish all men used their friends and therapist as emotional dumping grounds and not their partners. It took me early in my marriage to realize, I was relying too heavily on my wife to process and help me figure everything out what was going on with me emotionally - she’s not a therapist she’s my wife.
Eventually this becomes difficult for our partner, not only because she has feelings too, but she also has a skin in the game. To men reading this post and this comment, we are worth the investment, if possible, in finding resources to support our emotions. In order to effectively be good leaders, we need to take care of ourselves.
