DALROCK, THE INGRATE RED PILL

   The Manospherian Red Pill Cult blogger Dalrock claims to be many things that he clearly is not. One is that he is an expert on male-female relationships; the other is that he has any expertise in Christian doctrine. His recent attack on Mrs. Bill Gates is evidence of both deficiencies in his thinking. 

   Melinda Gates recently wrote a book on the challenges that she faces as the wife of the world's richest man. Dalrock sneers at the idea that her position poses any challenges at all. In his worldview---which is driven by the false philosophy of 'Game'---women really have no role in a relationship other than as sex dolls and egg donors to their husbands. Like most Gamers, he takes Feminist stereotypes of men as fact and encourages men behave in those ways.

   Marriage is a challenge under normal circumstances; but extraordinary circumstances put extraordinary challenges in the way. Marriage to a wealthy and powerful man is not something that the majority of women ever have to face. It may seem easy on the surface---but how many average women could stand up to the daily routine of someone like Melania Trump? It takes a lot more work than it seems. So why do they do it? Because (contrary to what both Feminists and Red Pills believe) a relationship is not a zero-sum game. 

   Dalrock has been writing lately about some stupid Feminist who said that women shouldn't show gratitude for what their husbands do. With their purely carnal instincts, Dalrock and the other Gamers displayed their ignorance by not recognizing that gratitude is an inherent part of love: that lovers' actions are merely the outward expressions of their internal attitudes. A man-hating Feminist thus resents offering gratitude to a man; a woman-hating Red Pill thinks himself entitled to it. Neither understand that gratitude is implicit in actions and not the consequence of such actions. Thus, Dalrock reasons on thi faulty logic that Melinda Gates should never feel challenged in her marriage simply because of the good material things that her husband provides for her. 

   And such defective logic leads to statements like this:

  "Complementarians are convinced that the solution to feminist discontentment is for husbands to do more.  If they work harder, do more housework, etc. wives will be content.  This isn’t a Christian perspective, but it is the Modern Christian perspective, and it is pure folly."

   First, Complimentarians don't do things for their spouses to cure 'Feminist discontentment." They do things for their spouses out of things like love, empathy, etc.---concepts of which the Red Pills are wholly ignorant. What he falsely describes as this 'solution' isn't the Modern Christian Perspective either. His whole statement in the above paragraph is a false dichotomy. 

  The Christian solution to Feminist discontentment is Christianity itself. When women reject Feminism and embrace their femininity, they realize their true God-given power. But that power compliments its masculine counterpart. And that spiritual component is what brings contentment more than any other issue in a marriage.
