"I'm the best, I'm gonna be the best at everything, fuck feminists, worship millionaires because they are rich" That sort of stuff. The funny thing is that 90% of people who think like that don't even know what the word feminist actually means...
Also, the Matrix is a trans allegory/metaphor, and the red pill is based on one of the hormone pills the Wachowskis likely used to transition.
Somebody has recommended you street epistemology already. An important part of it is to talk using the same concepts.
I say this because my understanding of the red pill comes from the documentary The Red Pill. It roughly means that you are aware of the issues men face in modern societies and care about them. That caring about men's rights does not mean that you hate women.
And because of that I initially thought that trying to convince someone that "red pill mentality is stupid" was the stupid thing.
