A click-bait headline, brought to you by a former reader:
Women are analogous to Craftsman tools. Once made in America and of the highest quality, they were built to last a lifetime (literally). Today they are a shell of their former selves. Quality is in the toilet and there’s nothing that differentiates itself from the alternatives.
You might buy a Craftsman wrench (I’m a man and a tool is a tool, after all) but you’re not bragging to your friends about it. You’re not expecting it to be there when you retire your toolset. In fact, you’re kinda waiting for it to break. You might or might not take them up on that “lifetime warranty” when it does. No guarantees.
The Herculean marketing effort has done nothing to improve the reputation, mostly because we all know that they will not take the necessary steps to properly restore the brand to its once great glory. So you shrug your shoulders, reminisce about the good ol’ days, chalk this one up as another thing lost, and move on.
My point isn’t that women are tools, but that everything in society from the goods we buy to the relationships we enter has been cheapened.
So much is disposable. But, you know what? In many ways, for all our complaining about it, we all kind of like it that way and don’t want it to change.
We tend at our age now suffer from “good ol days” syndrome. I’m guilty of it too. You know how it is….the water was wetter back in the 1970’s, the corn was just juicier, the winters were colder and always tons of snow…..everyone was a devout Christian, divorce never happened, every company built perfect products and there were never any problems…….
As compared with today of course!
The whole community makes it out that the 1980’s were some amazing decade…..everyone was a church-goer. There was no crime. Jobs were plentiful, and everyone had a great job.
The reality: National debt exploded to shocking levels, the obesity epidemic began (couch potato), crack-cocaine exploded on the scene. Crime went up. Divorce and abortions in the USA peaked. The massive de-industrialization of the USA was gaining full steam (I grew up in the rust belt…ask me how I know). Trust in government, church and other pillars of society continued to erode (by the people running them) and of course…the AIDS epidemic. Homelessness became an issue and the continued dumbing down of the country really gained steam at this time. The music was awful as well.
Yet…….its made out to be a time that was perfect today. “Good Ol Days” syndrome. Hardly.
Are things worse? I guess you could say yes…..but to change this would take work, and effort which is always “someone else’s job” and its easier to chant “Trump! Trump!” like a WWF match.
The people talking the loudest about “traditional” values are the ones who live some of the most abysmal personal lives, including President Trump (that divorce was front page news in the late 1980’s…and he was an SOB). The current nominee for the Sec of Defense knocks up a sexy, eye-candy journalist Fox journalist and then gives a lecture of “traditional values”
Jesus said even in his day “The poor ye shall always have with you” and also lived in a way that went against the culture of his time. It would be a great day indeed if the voices telling us how great everything was….actually started living and conforming to Christ.
But again…..YOU have to live like Jesus. Not them 😉
“We tend at our age now suffer from “good ol days” syndrome.”
I’ve pointed something out and I’ve never had anyone in the Manosphere give me an adequate explanation.
When I was young, I grew up among the deeply conservative Mennonites. I went to their schools. At one school I went to all the girls were required to wear skirts or dresses (below the knee). Many wore modest cape dresses and head coverings.
But here is the thing. I didn’t chase that kind of woman. Oh, I suppose I could have done so, but I never did. I didn’t want a woman out of the “good ‘ol days.” And neither do most of the people complaining about it being lost.
In fact, I had no problem with a woman who was college educated and had her own profession. Do you know what that makes me to the Manosphere? Cuck, beta, simp, lucky… you name it.
The people talking the loudest about “traditional” values are the ones who live some of the most abysmal personal lives
I don’t regret my choices. The Manosphere has never been able to explain that. It never will be able to do so, because its “good ‘ol days” suggestions are inferior because they are based on the lie that the good old days were real.
I don’t like that products quality is so much worse, but I, like everyone else, is mostly fine with it because it means things don’t cost as much. One has to wonder if most people like the lowered standards in women too.
I was just reading a plea for help from a “real Alpha male”
Works out. Is a “hit” with the ladies. Knows-what-he-wants- out of life (and you are a chump if you dont emulate him)
So, this guy is convinced that all women in the USA are useless. They have high “n counts” and are ugly. Dont want to be a wife. The usual.
So, he moves to Thailand (oh boy) but not for the sex-tourism, but because the women there are “traditional” and “pure” and “know how to treat a real man like himself”
He meets a woman ten years younger than him in a legitimate (cough) “massage parlour” He’s 30. She’s 18.
They get married fast because “all foreign women are demure, saintly, pure, perfect tens and just want to drain a mans balls” and be a “wife”. Remember, this man is WAY smarter than you and is Red Pill and is a “real man”
He opens a business with her…and it has to be in her name because he is not a Thai citizen. She evidently knows the process, who to bribe (its a third world country), how the basic legal system works in these matters (it doesnt work, its a third world country).
She gets pregnant, but gets an abortion without telling him (all Thai women are pure, innocent, sweet, hot, just want to be a wife and mother) and after he cashes out more money from home, and from his parents (so much for being a real red-pilled man who does everything on his own, and pulled himself up by his bootstraps)
The rest of the money arrives………………..
She suddenly is gone. Bank account empty. He cant find her. The “friends” he has there play dumb. They shrg their shoulders. They dont know. Her “firends” ignore him. The court drops divorce papers already finalized to his address. The paperwork was rubberstamped (remember, its a third world country, American laws dont apply here, but this Red Pilled guy thinks the whole world is the USA when it comes to these matters).
He cant find her.
He has no money. He cant work because the “paperwork” is tied up in a broken third world system that requires bribes. His parents have no more money to send him. His friends in the USA offer to help him get home……but he cant leave because she took his passport. Police called. No help. The US embassy is of little or no use in these matters “You came to a country, lost your money on a girl, and you want us to fix it? Get in line!”
While awaiting his passport, he cant pay his rent and is kicked out. No “grace period” no “thirty day notice to pay” like the USA and other “loser” countries in the West. The money a few friends have wired him to get by……..the companies take “their cut” (its a corrupt third world country) and he cannot open a bank account. He got jumped and robbed at a club because many saw he was working with cash only (but, but counties like Thailand are communal and caring, and honest…not like the horrible USA)
In the end, the US embassy got him a place to stay until his passport is processed and his family will pay the taxes, fees, bribes at customs to get him home.
Did he learn a lesson? Nope. He blames the USA for not helping him enough and says “Next time, I’m going to Poland”
Good luck! This is masculinity today. Arrogance. A mind set only only on sex, and a smug attitude. This is modern Red Pill
Ooof. What a tale.
This is common Derek. Red Pill Men are “moving abroad” where the women are hot, perfect tens, and just want to be a wife………….
Red Pill then shames these exact same men “oh you didnt vett enough / you should have / dont ever bring her to the USA….you have to live there, learn the language and culture, start a business and make millions. Easy to do.”
Tagesshcau (German New Program) did a story about this a year ago. German men moving to Thailand to (cough) work end up finding a much younger girl in a nightclub, marry and of course try to start a business………..and POOF money arrives and she is gone!
They move to Thailand because “the women are hot, beautiful, just want to be a wife…”
In Britain there are horror stories on many news programs about this happening to younger British guys in Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, and Serbia (gasp! my virgin ears! We all know every woman in Eastern Europe is a devout Christian!!!)
These “red pill” guys now want their “governments” to do “something about it!”
The same governments they denounced as gynocentric and also stated that the “women in Britain are homely”
Bunch of crybabies. This is modern Rd Pill and this is why t will NEVER be taken seriously by a large swath of men

When people refer to “the good old days of redpill,” they are typically nostalgic for the early days of the “red pill” movement within online men’s rights communities, often seen as a time when discussions focused more on perceived systemic issues affecting men and less on the more extreme, misogynistic rhetoric that later became associated with the movement, which is now widely criticized for its harmful views.
Key points about the “good old days” of redpill:
Focus on men’s issues:
Early discussions often centered around topics like the challenges men face in dating, divorce laws, and societal expectations of masculinity, which some felt were not adequately addressed.
Open dialogue:
There was a perception that discussions were more open to different perspectives and less entrenched in extreme positions.
Less toxicity:
The community was considered less hostile and more willing to engage with dissenting opinions.
However, it’s important to note that:
Misogyny still existed:
Even in the early days, the red pill movement was criticized for promoting harmful stereotypes about women and perpetuating anti-feminist views.
Evolution of the movement:
Over time, the red pill community became more radicalized, with a growing emphasis on conspiracy theories and extreme misogynistic rhetoric, leading to the negative perception of the movement today. ”
What mainly happened was ” Loud mouth RP Genius leaders” came along making all kinds of ”yell it loud N proud and the Government will eventually listen to us” B.S. promises and many flunkie and foolish yes”men” ate it up thinking ”finally our most sainted, beloved and revered government will listen to these” Loud mouth RP Genius leaders” that WE would disown in a heartbeat at church, work or in front of our friends and family.”
Trump they say”sees things our way” is that why this is getting truer every day?:

The unexpected gender dynamic shaping the 2024 election
—
All signs suggest that the partisan divide over changing gender roles in society could widen even further in the 2024 election, adding a new source of uncertainty to a contest already on a knife’s edge.
Donald Trump’s recent declaration to female voters that “I will be your protector” offered the latest demonstration of the former president’s determination to consolidate the voters most committed to traditional gender roles and family structures – a culturally conservative group that includes not only many men but also a large number of women.
In the process, though, political strategists in both parties believe the GOP nominee risks further alienating the broad array of voters who are comfortable with the social changes that have challenged those traditional patterns of family life, especially women. Younger, college-educated and single women are likely to be particularly resistant to the idea that they need protecting by any man – much less one in Trump, who has been found liable for sexual abuse in a New York civil case and who faces specific allegations of sexual misconduct from dozens of other women.
The ” Loud mouth RP Genius leaders” live in their fantasy reality where Trump isn’t putting more women than any other R or D President in history in power and authority over MEN so as NOT to upset their ”RP” flunkie and foolish yes ”men” they think makes them some kind of ”influcencer” like the ”Classic Manosphere” they destroyed like their wokeness did their woke churches.
But he’s the “real man” telling us all about “traditional” values.
I tell people I know out here in LA who voted for him….and I get why people would. Sure, American protection of jobs…….the border crisis. Okay. I can understand why people did vte for him…….
But when they get into the “societal / cultural” thing about “traditional values” and that he supposedly “stands” for them
They are deluded. A man who benefitted from “no fault divorce” . Am an that voted for Bill Clinton twice and had no problems with his “sexual escapades. His son, Don Jr who kicks his first wife to the curb, brings in Kimberly Guilfoyle (a lingerie model becoming a journalist and who was married to Gov Gavin Newsom when he was mayor of San Francisco) to “live” with him and claims he “loves and cares for women”
These leaders, be it in business, or politics, or other important areas have ZERO business lecturing us about “values” and “family” and “the decay of cultural institutions” when they partook in this decay…actively. As much as I like Elon Musk for many of his inventions, and drive…….the infidelity, illegitimate children, dates and marries women who look like they are strung out on heroin with tattoos talk about “family values” or “traditionalism” is either a severe dysfunction of the mind or he’s just gaslighting us. And he has a son who is “trans” perhaps he should have been a better father before I get a lecture.
He’s just one “tool” or example in this area. Reagan, the “christian” and “conservative” passed No Fault Divorce in California in 1970…..and then to lecture and pontificate about “morality” and “Jesus” and “the Bible”
In the end, we tend to think in the USA……if someone is good at something, they must be good at everything, or correct on everything.
Lol, “protector of women” he needs to GTFO on that issue, He has got sixteen tons of problems to face when he takes office. Hopefully this time, there will be actual solutions instead of “funny tweets” on Friday afternoon.
