@Musicgoon78 Preselection supersedes almost any other element of attraction.
@deeplydisturbed that's a good one, but @mustangfrank1 posted that at the WAATGM forum two weeks ago.
have some vcards!
If you want to be a dick be a dick
I always do!
Anyway, in addition to what @deeplydisturbed already said:
-
feminism attempts to deny biology, whereas Red Pill acknowledges and embraces it
-
feminism claims to be about equality, but is really about using male protective and providing instincts against men to enslave us to women's interests. It's a supremacy movement. Conversely, Red Pill just tries to see the world as it really is rather than how anyone wishes it were, and attempts to adapt accordingly.
-
feminism assumes we (men and women) are all the same (blank slate) and are only socially conditioned to be different, whereas Red Pill acknowledges that our differences are inherent and biological. You can see this how feminists think they can shame men into being attracted to fatties or to saggy old women rather than to slim young women.
- as I said in the old post I linked earlier, MRAs' mistake is in assuming that feminists are in any way actually interested in equality and fairness. Most women don't even view men as peopleb with our own wants, needs, and interests, but rather as utility objects to be stripmined. Trying to appeal to a sense of fairness to people who don't give two shits about you is a waste of time. Red Pill, however, is about adapting to that and overcoming in spite of how the entire system is against men.
Fuck. I could go on forever, but I have other shit I want to read and respond to, not to mention RL work to do.
Read MoreLet me add a thing...
When I said this..
In practice, Feminism is an ideology aimed at undermining Western culture
I would instead say...
In practice, Feminism is a PRESCRIPTIVE ideology that makes claims about how things OUGHT to be, from the perspective of women, and is aimed at undermining Western culture
Bro. Just stop. Typo is half serious, half fucking with you.
Let me make a weak attempt at explaining what I think is being said here...
The Red Pill (and possibly MGTOW - don't shoot me) are NOT movements, or organized efforts, or prescriptive in any way. As Typo said, it is a Praxeology (First time I heard this term was courtesy of Ryan Stone, so shoutout to him).
Praxeology is (in my own words) a pragmatic, non prescriptive set of concepts and tactics with the overall goal of adapting to reality. It is practical, non-judgmental, and (usually) logical.
Feminism on the other hand (again, in my own words) has numerous definitions. In theory, it is about equality of the sexes (typically in terms of rights and human respect and dignity).
In practice, Feminism is an ideology aimed at undermining Western culture to aid Marxists and Globalist in taking control of the factors of production globally. It main goal is to weaken male authority and destroy the family unit.
So it doesn't take much to see how Feminism and the Red Pill are diametrically opposed on several dimensions.
What I THINK You were trying to say is something like this (again, in my own words):
If feminists are being real, and honest, and responsible, the red pill should be subsumed under some future iteration of Feminism (be it 4th wave or otherwise). This makes sense because if women are being genuine about Feminism, they would see the the Red Pill is advocating for men - so it stands to reason that if women are advocating for equality of the sexes, then they should support Red Pill because the Red Pill is about men - and men are one of the sexes.
I get your logic. But we are a detail oriented bunch here, so while it stands to reason in a theoretical sense, it completely breaks down under scrutiny.
I like the concept, but I stand with Typo on this (not just because he is a gay virgin either), We MUST safeguard concepts and ideas.
And one way to do that is to keep talking and disregarding ideas that don't hold up.
Read MoreHere are some safety tips to consider when living in Rio de Janeiro:
General Awareness:
- Be aware of your surroundings: This is especially important at night. Avoid deserted streets, poorly lit areas, and favelas (slums) unless you're with a trusted local.
- Dress down: Flashy jewelry, expensive clothes, and electronics can make you a target for theft. Blend in with the locals.
- Carry limited valuables: Leave unnecessary valuables and large amounts of cash at home. Opt for secure wallets or money belts for essentials.
- Beware of pickpockets: Crowded places like beaches and buses are prime spots for pickpockets. Keep your belongings close and be mindful of your bags.
- Learn some basic Portuguese: Knowing a few basic phrases can help you navigate and avoid misunderstandings.
- Use registered taxis: Avoid flagging down random taxis on the street. Use reputable companies or hail rides through apps.
Accommodation and Transportation:
- Choose a safe neighborhood: Research neighborhoods known for their safety and proximity to amenities. Ipanema, Leblon, and Flamengo are generally considered safer options.
- Secure your accommodation: Ensure your home or apartment has functioning locks and security features. Don't leave windows or doors open when unattended.
- Be mindful on public transportation: During rush hour, buses and trains can be crowded, creating opportunities for theft. Stay alert and hold onto your belongings.
- Consider alternative transportation: Depending on your location, ride-sharing services like Uber or 99 (local ride-sharing app) might be safer options than buses at night.
Out and About:
- Don't walk alone at night: Especially in unfamiliar areas. Stick to well-lit streets and populated areas. Consider having a trusted friend or companion, especially late at night.
- Be cautious on the beach: Leave valuables at your hotel or accommodation. Keep an eye on your belongings while swimming.
- Beware of scams: Be wary of people offering unsolicited help or deals. Don't exchange money on the street.
- Trust your instincts: If a situation feels unsafe, it probably is. Leave the area and find a trusted adult or call for help.
Additional Resources:
- Tourist Police Department (DEAT): +55 21 2332-2924 (Portuguese only)
- Download offline maps: Having an offline map can be helpful if you get lost and don't have internet access.
- Register with your embassy: This allows your embassy to stay informed of your whereabouts and provide assistance if needed.
Remember: Rio is a beautiful city with a lot to offer. By following these safety tips and using common sense, you can minimize risks and have a wonderful experience living there.
