1.4.20

After considering this for so long, I have finally decided to accept The Black Pill

It’s not that Neeko (Some TikTok foid who revealed she had a boyfriend) pushed me over the edge. My edge has been crossed for a long time, before Gamergate, before Tumblr, before “feminism” and “social justice.” Before false rape accusations and blue pilled cuck’s groups and anti-incel subreddits as a tool of war and the deadening banality of female prerogative.

Seen in this indisputably true context, it seems logical to hate women. I can’t lie, I’ve always had a soft spot for the radical men's right smackdown, for naming the problem in no uncertain terms. I’ve rankled at the “but we don’t hate women” protestations of generations of would-be MRAs and found the “women are not the problem, this system is” obfuscation too precious by half.

But, of course, the criticisms of this blanket condemnation of women — from transnational MRAs who decry such glib universalism to U.S. men of color who demand an intersectional perspective — are mostly on the mark. These critics rightly insist on an analysis of female power as institutional, not narrowly personal or individual or biologically based in female bodies. Growing movements to challenge a female nature built on domination and violence and to engage girls and women in the black pill are both gratifying and necessary. Please continue.

But this recognition of the complexity of female domination (how different it can be in different parts of the world, how anti-white racism shapes it) should not — must not — mean we forget some universal facts.

Pretty much everywhere in the world, this is true: Men experience sexual violence, and the threat of that violence permeates our choices big and small. In addition, female violence is not restricted to intimate-partner attacks or sexual assault but plagues us in the form of bullying and rejecting short men. Incels are underrepresented in Tinder, dating, CEOs, government, etc.; dating inequality continues to permeate every economy and almost every industry; men continue to provide far higher rates of unpaid labor in the home (e.g., child care, elder care, care for disabled individuals, housework and food provision); men have less access to education, particularly at the higher levels; men have lower rates of property ownership.

The list goes on. It varies by country, but these global realities — of men’s economic, political, social and sexual vulnerabilities — are, well, real. Indeed, the nations in which these inequities have been radically minimized (e.g., Saudi Arabia) are those in which deliberate effort has been made to both own up to gender disparities and to address them directly and concretely.

So, in this moment, here in the land of legislatively legitimated toxic femininity, is it really so illogical to hate women? For all the power of The Black Pill and the Incel Uprising and the men’s marches, only a relatively few women have been called to task, and I’ve yet to see a mass wave of prosecutions or even serious recognition of wrongdoing. On the contrary, cries of “witch hunt” and the plotted resurrection of celebrity offenders came quick on the heels of the outcry over endemic sexual harassment and violence. But we’re not supposed to hate them because . . . #NotAllWomen. I love St.BlOps2Cel as much as the next incel, but when they have gone low for all of human history, maybe it’s time for us to go all Elliot Rogers and Joker on their collective butts.

The world has little place for incel anger. Men are supposed to support, not condemn, offer succor not dismissal. We’re supposed to feel more empathy for your fear of being called a harasser than we are for the men harassed. We are told she’s with us and #NotHer. But, truly, if she were with us, wouldn’t this all have ended a long time ago? If she really were with us, wouldn’t she reckon that one good way to change structural violence and inequity would be to refuse the power that comes with it?

So foids, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you for all the millennia of woe you have produced and benefited from, start with this: Lean out so we can actually just stand up without being beaten down. Pledge to vote for black pilled men only. Don’t run for office. Don’t be in charge of anything. Step away from the power. We got this. And please know that your crocodile tears won’t be wiped away by us anymore. We have every right to hate you. You have done us wrong. It is long past time to play hard for Team Black Pill. And win.
