Male Authority and Responsibility\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Roman Warszawski, one of Poland\u2019s most prominent Red Pill advocates, emphasizes that men are expected to assume responsibility as protectors, defenders, and providers. \u201cFair enough, every man should be capable of this, but there\u2019s no responsibility without authority. Otherwise, a man becomes a slave with designated duties, facing only punishment if requirements aren\u2019t met,\u201d Warszawski states in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crux lies in how to interpret this authority that accompanies responsibility.<\/strong> Last autumn, a founding meeting was held for the \u201cPatriarchy\u201d foundation, which propagates Red Pill principles. The foundation\u2019s founder, Mateusz Curzyd\u0142o, a 29-year-old IT specialist, described a simplistic history of social order that he claims collapsed with the promotion of equality, including gender equality. Despite earlier revolutionary changes, he argues that healthy principles have long prevailed. Take the approach to law, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAccording to the Napoleonic Code, contracts couldn\u2019t be entered into by the mentally ill, prisoners, children, and married women. Unmarried women still could, but married women couldn\u2019t because they were treated as a kind of property. They surrendered some freedom in exchange for protection,\u201d he explained. These values, he noted, have been eroded by the ethos of egalitarianism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The theme of ownership recurs frequently in such discourses. Ronald Lasecki, a publicist and writer whose statements serve as high-octane fuel for opponents of men\u2019s rights defenders, addressed women\u2019s freedom and property rights at that meeting. \u201cWomen were formerly part of the household, admittedly with a higher status than livestock or movable property, but nonetheless not participating on equal terms in decision-making processes,\u201d he emphasized.<\/strong> For those gathered, this was the natural order of things, because after all, as Lasecki concluded: \u201cWe care for women, but treat them as part of our property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following this logic, inventory, even of a slightly higher rank, must know its place in the hierarchy and sometimes needs to be reminded of it. \u201cThe institution of \u2018not beating\u2019 women is quite recent, and in Islamic countries, a husband has the right to physically punish his wife<\/a>,\u201d Lasecki observes. While cultural values in Poland prevent this, deeming women untouchable, legally it was different in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMen always managed somehow; there was one law. It\u2019s like spanking. The absence of spanking is also something entirely new, and it\u2019s the same with the prohibition of any unwanted contact towards women,\u201d Mateusz Curzyd\u0142o argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend:<\/strong> What Is Anti-Enlightenment? This Is a Break with Freedom of Ideas, Speech and the Removal of Diversity of Views<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is a return to a world based on \u201cmale rules of the game\u201d possible on a broader scale, perhaps through political action?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf men decide to fight for their interests and return to the Way of Men, they won\u2019t do it through a democratic or social movement or an armed political uprising. It will happen through gangs in places where the state loses power and credibility,\u201d predicts Jack Donovan, promoted by the Red Pill publishing house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The evil in politics allegedly began with allowing women to vote in elections, though opinions on this matter are divided among Red Pill adherents and their supporters. Some, including former MP Janusz Korwin-Mikke, believe that while women should not have the right to vote, men could have the right to cast votes for women. More orthodox activists oppose even this concession, fearing it might encourage other women to demand further concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Catholic Church<\/a>, particularly in Poland, is also seen as an obstacle to \u201cmen\u2019s issues\u201d<\/strong>. Some manosphere participants\u2019 aversion to Catholics stems from what they perceive as an overly egalitarian approach to women. After all, the spiritual queen of Poland is the Virgin Mary. In Poland, \u201cGaude Mater Polonia\u201d (Rejoice, Mother Poland) has been and continues to be sung, and Polish knights charged against the Teutonic Knights at Grunwald with \u201cBogurodzica\u201d on their lips. The Virgin Mary herself, according to the \u201cPatriarchy\u201d foundation\u2019s narrative, exhibits the characteristic cunning of women, as she \u201chad a child with the best possible man, while also having an everyday man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This concept, though usually employing different examples, forms one of the main theses of the Red Pill movement. Women, guided by hypergamy, seek a father for their children who surpasses them in social and financial status. This is said to apply to intellectual status as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why many Red Pill advocates believe that women\u2019s education should not be given particular importance. Ostensibly for their own good, as more intelligent and better-educated women find it harder to secure husbands. Similarly, taller women struggle to find partners, as they seek men taller than themselves, significantly narrowing their options. Women, therefore, seek alpha males. While they are also interested in beta males, these are primarily needed to ensure later financial security for themselves and their offspring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This concept, borrowed from evolutionary psychology and popularized by some, is often challenged by scientists who note the selectivity of the publicized arguments and the multitude of other factors that alter this picture in practice.<\/strong> Thus, while such female behaviors do occur, it is difficult to consider them as the sole or even predominantly leading factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why, then, do many men<\/a> radicalize their approach to relationships with women? According to research by Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr from University College London, some young men sought community and belonging, and feedback from other manosphere participants confirmed and amplified their sadness. After appropriate stimulation, their loneliness transformed into anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, according to Matteo Botto and Lucas Gottz\u00e9n, sociologists from Stockholm University, the most common argument for young men joining manosphere communities was that they felt vulnerable in relationships with girls. Their helplessness stemmed mainly from dating problems, relationship failures, lack of sexual experience, or domestic difficulties in their family homes. With low self-esteem, especially during COVID-induced isolation, it is easy to end up in areas of the internet where simple answers to everything can be found, and weakness instantly transforms into apparent strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend:<\/strong> Blind Search for Truth. The Talk About How to Make Dreams Come True<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is the struggle of activists defending men\u2019s rights merely nonsense invented by insecure men to gain control over women they can not handle? This is how combative feminists would like to see it. However, that is not the entire truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2016, ardent feminist Cassie Jaye produced a documentary titled \u201cThe Red Pill\u201d To her surprise, instead of encountering aggressive men wanting to shout her down or beat her, she met calm men broken by a legal system uncritically siding with women. Men have little chance of even equal treatment in child custody cases.<\/strong> Their rights often end at paying alimony and acquiescing to their partner\u2019s demands, even if the children are not theirs. The documentary also proves that domestic violence limited solely to aggression against women is a myth. According to cited data, in the US, one in three women experiences physical violence from their partner, but one in four men also reports it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2007, the feminist blog Jezebel published an article titled \u201cHave You Ever Beat Up A Boyfriend? Cause, Uh, We Have.\u201d The blog\u2019s authors described how they could hit their partners for trivial and incomprehensible reasons, knowing the men would not retaliate. These reminiscences were discussed in a jocular style, and the comments were often no better, for example, \u201cI don\u2019t even remember the reason […], I started beating him to the max. I felt really bad about losing control<\/a> like that, but later I realized that it\u2019s much worse that I\u2019m with someone who can make me so angry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name \u201cRed Pill\u201d comes from a key scene in \u201cThe Matrix,\u201d where the protagonist can choose between a blue or red pill. The former allows him to remain in a comfortable but illusory reality, while the latter opens up a brutal but true reality. However, are the agitators prescribing the red pill, and the patients being treated with it, prepared for such a cure? Are feminists not also trying to take their own miraculous remedy, trusting that it will alleviate all previous ailments? If so, then it is enough to lower women\u2019s status and rights for men to feel better, gaining women\u2019s obedience and respect. That\u2019s all for women\u2019s own good, of course. On the other hand, it is enough to define men as oppressors by default, who must be opposed, and build oneself on nurturing a sense of victimhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The protagonists of both narratives often demand gentler treatment and understanding while simultaneously calling for retaliation for losses suffered.<\/strong> Such emotions are relatively easy to stir up, losing sight of real problems along the way. Such furies also easily unite some against others. Moreover, groups anchored at two poles of extreme emotions are easy to manage. All that is needed is to never let them understand each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Translation: Klaudia Tarasiewicz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Polish version<\/strong>: Red Pill, czyli kto prze\u0142knie czerwon\u0105 pigu\u0142k\u0119.
