#1

The importance of fathers is a love-hate relationship in our feminine-primary social order. On the one hand, many people lament the lack of fathers’ involvement in their kids’ lives, especially boys’ lives. On the other hand, many people hate the buffoon, bumbling Dad who is always out of touch with the mainstream.

#2

When it comes to Father’s Day, most men receive a mixed message. While they are expected to be fathers, their masculinity is constantly being devalued and debased, and they’re expected to just get over it.

#3

As with all men, fathers are caught in the same Masculine Catch 22. They’re expected to be good dads, but they’re also expected to be good men, and being a good man is not enough to make up for the fact that being a good dad is expected of them.

#4

Fathers are crucial to a child’s life, but they are also seen as superfluous when it comes to raising them. The Feminine Imperative views fathers as a threat to its authority, while society at large believes that fathers are not necessary for children.

#5

The entire feminist project has been devoted to unseating the father from his role in the family. Now that they have achieved their objective, we can see the results. Men’s family authority is a liability for them, and along with that a father’s headship has lost all meaning.

#6

The conference in Las Vegas in 2015 was a humbling experience for me. I had not anticipated that more mature men would’ve been unplugged by their sons, but I met with several men who told me that The Rational Male would be required reading for their sons before they graduated high school.

#7

The first step in a hostage situation is to take away someone else’s power. In this case, it is male authority over children that is being taken away from men.

#8

Don’t put the children first, but also don’t put yourself first. Your mental point of origin should never waver from yourself, whether you’re single, monogamous, married, childless, or a father.

#9

A woman’s instinct to put her child’s interests above all else is a simple appeal to their children’s interests as being tantamount to their own or conflating them with their husband’s interests. Men are conditioned to accept this as the norm for the family.

#10

When you set the Frame of your relationship, whether it’s a first night lay or a marriage prospect, women must enter your reality and your frame. The same applies to any children in that relationship.

#11

Holding Frame is not about force or coercion, but about attraction and desire. It means that as a man, you have a solid reality into which that woman wants to be included.

#12

Establishing and maintaining a strong control of your psychological and ambient Frame is not just crucial to a healthy relationship, but it is also vital to the health of any family environment and the upbringing of any children that result from it.

#13

The primary problem men encounter in their marriages is that the positively masculine Frame they should have established while single decays into a Beta mindset and the man abdicates authority and deference to his wife’s feminine primary Frame.

#14

In a feminine-primary society, the question who is the man of the house. defines every aspect of a woman’s family life and development together. If you do not set and maintain a dominant masculine frame, a woman will feel the need to assume responsibility for her own and her children’s welfare.

#15

The idea of single fatherhood is difficult for men to fathom, given the expense and the fact that they would have to be determined financially and legally to become single fathers by choice.

#16

I believe that a father would be a poor substitute for a mother when it comes to exemplifying a feminine ideal. The argument is that, thanks to a feminine-centric social order, women have so divorced themselves from conventional femininity that a father might teach his daughter a better feminine ideal than a woman.

#17

The two-parent heterosexual model is best for raising a child. It is the height of gender-supremacism to assume that you know best how to raise a boy into the disempowered and emasculated ideal of what a boy should be.

#18

The have it all mentality popularized by feminism has led to some very negative social effects for women as a whole. While a great deal of having it all is wrapped up in empowering Empowered® women to obtain a similar deal from career life that men are supposedly enjoying, the subtext is that women will never be satisfied with less than Hypergamously optimal men.

#19

Equalism’s fundamental flaw is rooted in the belief that men and women are rational and functional equals, separated only by social influence and selfish imperatives. The grave consequences women accept as a result is that their sexual market value declines with age.

#20

Men should understand that under contemporary western circumstances, there is no advantage for men in a state of marriage. 100 percent advantage exists for women. Unfortunately, as things are structured, marriage will always be a losing proposition for men.

#21

The empowerment of single mothers is often presented alongside the dependence of fathers. However, the message is always one of being better fathers, and men are presented with the female empowerment meme, which excuses women’s inability to attract men.

#22

The author of the article listed many of the common misgivings women have with understanding their Hypergamous choices and their consequences. She perpetuated the put your kid first religion of motherhood, but after reading through her single-mom rationalizations, it’s easy to see why most men might be hesitant to sign up for the duty she expects of them.

#23

As a man, your desire to become a parent puts you in a position of being the most sexually selective during this phase of women’s lives. The Feminine Imperative has created long-held social conventions to convince men they are not only obligated to fulfilling women’s Hypergamous strategy, but should feel lucky to do so.

#24

Men should just accept that women are going to have had more than a few lovers before they get together with them. This is a common refrain among men who are dealing with the modern sexual marketplace.

#25

Too much concern about a woman’s sexual past is showing low value for a man. Men who are Alphas have options, and they don’t care that much about a woman’s past because they can generate more prospects.

#26

The more sex partners a woman has prior to getting married, the more likely she is to divorce. This is a statistical dynamic that women understand.

#27

The most important thing for men to remember is that women’s sexual past is not their concern, and any interest in it is seen as a sign of their own insecurities. It is important for men to keep this in mind when dating women.

#28

It is important for you to know whether you’ll be her apex Alpha lover, someone in between, or if your performance will be measured against the ghosts of Alpha men from her sexual past.

#29

The first conversation you should have with yourself is whether or not having and raising children is worth the virtually all risk proposition of marriage. The rate of all births to unmarried women is 40. 2 percent.

#30

It is vitally important that you coldly and dissociatively vet any woman you believe might be a candidate for being the mother of your children. As a positively masculine man, it is your prerogative to do so.

#31

Men are expected to be happy with their sacrificial role as providers, and happy to have the village of society raise their children while they’re doing it. They are also expected to be happy in their lack of appreciation for it, and happy to have the village devalue them.

#32

You will never be appreciated for your sacrifices, and certainly not while you’re making them. However, your presence is only as superfluous as you allow it to be. Your reward, your motivation, for being a Red Pill parent and a positively masculine example in your kids’ lives comes from inside yourself because it will never be appreciated by a feminine-primary social order outside yourself.

#33

The Village will raise your daughters to perpetuate the same cycle that devalues conventional masculinity, and it will raise your sons to be unneeded and sacrifices accepted as expected.

#34

The best time to introduce your son to the Red Pill is before he becomes a father, as a positive, dominant frame is crucial for raising children. The Red Pill should be exemplified during a boy’s formative years, as they are the most impressionable and learn the most at this time.

#35

It is important that you include your son in exclusively male-Space, where only men are allowed to participate. This is important because it teaches him to value his masculinity, and to accept the responsibilities of his burden of performance.

#36

Your son needs to see your deference to his dominant father’s Frame and benevolent authority. He needs to understand on a rudimentary level that his mother responds to your positive masculine Frame. This will help him understand the importance of the Red Pill later in life.

#37

The challenge most Beta fathers fail at is embracing and owning the Alpha dominance that makes up the other side of the Hypergamous equation.
