For decades, changing social norms have turned things on their head. So for fun, I thought I would create an interactive post where commenters can list the blue pill lies and/or red pill truths they have discovered. Please — add yours to the list!

Even as much as I have learned and grown over the past several years since discovering the red pill, there are still times where I realize the old residual blue pill programming still pops up in my thinking from time to time.
For example, I was following a conversation elsewhere and made the remark that it would be great if our new president took up for men’s rights.
A red piller soon pushed back that no, men did not need the government to give them men’s rights, doing so would be just as much BS as women’s rights. Instead he pointed out the government should stay out of it.
Do rights come from within, or without? Oooommmm. Wow. Mind opening moment. Hard to put into words.
I wholeheartedly agreed, thanked him for the comment, and apologized for the bad phrasing. I admitted I still have blue pill programming here and there.
“That’s OK,” he said. “It will go away with time!” Lol.
Let those who have ears hear.
What do you think? Do you have any residual blue pill beliefs still lurking about?

You’ve likely heard the saying, “The battle between the sexes.” I don’t hear it as much as I did when the push for equal rights for women was in its early decades, but I have been reflecting more and more these days on how equality movements seem to have have led to ever increasing division rather than ever increasing harmony.
The formal term for this is “identity politics” and it can be seen in so many of the issues humanity is struggling with most today.
If the current direction is leading to increasing problems, it only seems wise that everyone involved take another look at if what we are doing is really creating the intended outcome and if not, start asking if perhaps there is a better path?
What do you think? Please share in the comments!

A recent episode of someone getting off Scott free, seemingly because she is a girl and well while she was admittedly careless…that should be excused because…well…girl pass…got me thinking, how can women claim to be capable of being equals (much less leaders) when they don’t admit and take full responsibility for their mistakes? Or when society does not hold them to an equal standard, as well?
This builds on the last post — women need to choose if they are indeed really and willing to be full equals including all the downsides of that as well as the upsides, or we need to affirm that we are the weaker vessel and need/want the girl pass. What we can’t do is have it both ways, depending on convenience.
Personally, I recognize my limits. Not that I don’t take responsibility and accountability for my actions. I am equal in some ways, not even close in others. Such is life. And I am OK with that.
Discuss, debate… what do YOU think? And please, be civil to one another even in disagreement — it’s OK to agree to disagree. It’s not ok to attack, shame, name call, or bully. Not here, anyway. My blog, my rules! And I am waaaay too busy to babysit comments, so please behave.

Have you ever noticed that women tend to be very selective about which parts of the equality pie they actually want when it comes to equal rights?
For example, women want to be doctors, lawyers, or CEOs, but I never have heard any woman question why garbage collectors are mostly men, or fight to bring that ratio closer to 50%. No. Women don’t want the downsides of being “just like a guy” only the upsides, only the gravy, or for the sweets people, the cherry on top.
Well sisters, that ain’t equality! Simple as.
As I have written about before, men do a lot of the suck jobs and the boring jobs and the dangerous jobs and the hard jobs that make life work. And they don’t expect a gold star for it. (But a sandwich and a smile and a “thank you” would sure go a long way.)
Also note, equality is not the same as extra rights. People don’t like to play with those who demand they get every toy in the sandbox and that everything always goes their way. For many women equal rights seems to be translating into “I can do whatever the hell I want and if you cry foul, you’re a sexist hater!” (Or worse.) The oppressed become the oppressor. Again, that’s not equal.
Anyway, talk amongst yourselves 🙂 What do YOU think equality is all about? Is it even possible? Ideal?
