Yeah, I'm generally on board with the ideas in this substack, but these red pills about women never resonate with me. My wife is an angel, my best friend is a woman, I frequently collaborate with a woman whom I respect and admire, and I have always liked and gotten along with women. I had female friends growing up, I was reasonably popular with women and successful in dating, and I'm a 5' 8" manlet.

I'm not saying there isn't food for thought in these pieces, but they seem grossly overstated. Or maybe I'm just lucky, or deluded. Yes, I see lots of female misbehavior in the general population, but I chalk that up to the population being full of contemptible, mouth-breathing retards (of whom women are 50 percent).

I guess I would say the points in the article stand, but to a much subtler degree. Maybe these observations apply to the average woman, but average people are mediocre by definition and I don't care what they think or are like anymore. And average people would never read this substack. Maybe we need to stop focusing on Big Normie and invest energy in people who matter and can accomplish things (and that group includes some women).

There are some good points here, but this Schopenhauer feller overshoots the mark bigly!

Women don't do art? WTF? Go to an art supply store and what do you see? Women! The estrogen levels at a typical Hobby Lobby are so high that you better get out quickly if you don't want to go

trans.

Who do you think made the tapestries in the Middle Ages?

Women and piano lessons? Very common. Very common for the church organist to be a woman. Lot's of incredible female musical performers on YouTube, especially at piano. Art and music were part of the core curriculum at upper class girl's schools in the 1800s.

Literature? Get real! Plenty of female writers going back to Jane Austin and before. True, the number of women writers writing two-fisted science fiction is limited, but when it comes to "Great Fiction", it's mostly girls and gurly mans.

Physics and engineering are definitely male dominated, however. Rrrr rrrr rrr!

And let's remember that a very large fraction of the economy was home economics until the 20th Century. Women worked. A lot. The idea of men doing the work and women just taking care of the kids doesn't happen until electricity and appliances are invented. Simply cooking back in the day was more hazardous than being a police officer today. Cooking using a fireplace while wearing a dress was a recipe for getting burned alive.

By all means verbally smack down today's feminists. They aren't just whiny bitches; they are idiots. The 1950s were a golden age to be a woman. To be a tradwife under today's conditions is to be the envy of women throughout civilized history.
