How do I explain to a person that the "red pill mentality" is stupid? (lemmy.world)

This is a genuine question, as every time I have an argument about this with someone they bring a point so utterly stupid that it leaves me stumped...

There are books about how to manipulate women. I read one of those and felt sick. No normal man can write stuff like that, publish it, and feel good about himself. Jesus.

I personally manipulate my wife into loving me by being a responsible husband and loving father.

Am I doing it right?

Yes that kind of manipulation is quite alright. :)

Normal men don't read it either. We're potentially raising more broken young men than we've seen in the last hundred years. And when the aftershocks arrive, people will act surprised like they always do.

It's by design. I know it sounds a bit lame, but it's obvious the west is not spending money on creating healthy kids and adults.
