For the curious and lazy

Other subs worthy of mention unfortunately include the Married Red Pill sub, which despite its efforts to give a safe haven to men who married while plugged in, has devolved into an exercise in rationalizing why it was a good idea to begin with. Despite my repeated attempts to help them steer into the right direction, I have been confronted by many members there simply defending marriage as a good decision for a man in western culture, one of whom was a moderator whose post read "knowing what I know now, I would get married all over again."

The argument uses a common theme that you might recognize. Those who don't get married simply "aren't alpha enough to survive a marriage." Marriage, to them, is red pill on hard mode, and only the best of the best survive. Interesting that shame should be the primary enforcer of this behavior. It reminds me of something... perhaps it's written about somewhere in our sidebar.

I imagine myself making a similar face reading about somebody bragging about surviving a game of russian roulette, trying to convince others it's a game of skill and that the bullets in the chamber are reserved only for those not strong enough to win.

Rock on devolving. The stuff I've learned here has helped turn around a dead bedroom, saved a toxic marriage, and lit the fire under my ass to become the man I am supposed to be.

Click, whew, your turn.
