The Misogyny Subculture: Crypto-Misogynists (Part 5)
Within the misogyny subculture the red pill/blue pill/black pill philosophy is the main cornerstone of the movement. As previously discussed incels adopt both the red pill and black pill approaches, which are nihilism and fatalism respectively. MGTOW (Men Who Go Their Own Way) largely adopt the red pill philosophy but with a spin of isolationism or at the very least a "soft" boycott of women and relationships which includes children. (I say "soft" because most MGTOW will have casual sex but nothing more.) And, both groups generally display a moderate level of contempt for blue pills because they believe they're naive and "cucks".
Red pill has another offshoot which encompasses the approach and philosophy of incels and mgtow. It is a group of men who don't identity as an incel or mgtow but are certainly sympathizers of both. They are what I refer to as crypto-misogynists.
Some would say crypto-misogynists are essentially the men's right movement. These men basically believe men are oppressed. They feel women are provided all the advantages in society. The core philosophy, not unlike incels and mgtow, is there is an effort (whether it be implicit or explicit) to oppress men. Some, also like the other groups, believe there is a genocide of men taking place.
So, what distinguishes crypto-misogynists from incels and mgtow? Well, as with all these groups the differences are subtle but do exist.
Crypto-misogynists are not celibate, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, like incels and mgtow. Dissimilar from mgtow they seek serious relationships with women and desire to have a family.
They don't wallow in self-pity. Nor, do they engage in activities which are self-defeating and provide fuel for a self-fulfilling prophecy in the manner incels do.
To the contrary crypto-misogynists are quite confident. Actually, it's closer to toxic arrogance.
In fact, crypto-misogynists can be sanctimonious and sacrosanct. Whereas mgtow have sworn off women because they believe most of them are "skanks" just looking for a "sugar daddy and baby maker", crypto-misogynists also believe many women are "skanks" but there are enough women out there who are worthy of a relationship and starting a family.
Crypto-misogynists believe in hypergamy (80/20 rule), although they soften it a bit more than mgtow who soften it more than incels. For those unfamiliar with the term hypergamy, it is the practice of women dating and sexing only men who are above their financial, social and sexually attractive level. The 80/20 rule states 80% of women will only seek after the top 20% of men.
So, crypto-misogynists look for potential mates in the 20% of women who don't practice hypergamy. Where mgtow "respects" that 20% but doesn't want to chance it and incels don't think the 20% are good enough (cue in the irony) crypto-misogynists believe these women get it and haven't been corrupted.
Corrupted? By what you might ask. Oh now, kids, you know what. All together now.....FEMINISM!
Yes, exactly like the other groups, the foundation of crypto-misogynists' philosophy and worldview is a virulent and intense disdain for feminism and feminists.
These guys believe feminism has essentially brainwashed women into believing men are "trash" and their only purpose is to be used. They fervently believe feminism has propagated the notion it's ok for women to "trick" men with their sexuality. Also, they believe there is a coordinated effort by the left, social justice warriors (sjws) and "radical" feminists to emasculate men while masculinizing women. And, it should come as little shock these guys believe there is an order to society-an order with men being in charge and women "co-equal" (in name only) . In reality they believe women are to be subservient. However, they emphatically insist the idea of patriarchy is a hoax purported by feminists to demonize men....Seriously.
Similar to mgtow crypto-misogynists have a substantial presence on YouTube, which allows them to propagate their message.
A few themes can be extracted from their videos. Of course, feminism is evil and society construct is intentionally geared toward women are the main tenants. But, after watching a few videos a couple of other threads become glaringly obvious.
What tends to cloak these guys' misogyny is they seem to rationally make points that possess hints of truth and some irrefutable facts but are largely specious and disingenuous. For example, they often complain feminists are hypocritical because feminists claim they want men to grow and become more empathetic but are often themselves not empathetic toward men and display no willingness to help them grow. Now, there is some truth in this because some feminists are quite dogmatic and unyielding in their attitude toward men. However, the vast majority aren't like that, but that doesn't feed the false narrative they want relayed.
A pretty glaring example of how the misogyny comes through is in the way they talk about women (primarily the 80%). It is fairly noticeable they are concerned with thots, sex workers and those they call "e-whores". No, it's an obsession with these women.
A few months ago not just crypto-misogynists but many members of the misogyny subculture started a movement on Twitter called the #ThotAudit. The goal was to implore the IRS to begin investigating women on Twitch, YouTube and other streaming services who produce channels that are monetized either by the streaming service themselves or by Patreon. Many of these women don't pay taxes on the money they "earn" despite some of them bringing in tens of thousands of dollars. It should also be noted that it's not just these women but many video and streaming content providers don't report their income to the IRS.
Now, it is more than fair to argue these women's content is less than substantive. The women the #ThotAudit mainly targeted were those on Twitch whose content primarily consists of them chatting with viewers while being scantily clad and doing rather mundane activities such as playing video games or exercising. The vast majority of their audience is male. Most of these men either give monthly donations through Patreon (which is the primary source of income for most streamers/youtubers) or they do a "pay-go". Pay-go is essentially men asking these women to do something such as jumping jacks and paying, for example, $5 for 10 jumping jacks. (Ain't capitalism just the best!)
This "supply and demand" infuriates crypto-misogynists. They claim the women take advantage of lonely dudes and lead them on while taking their money; thus why they call them "e-whores". The women say they are simply "models" or "content producers". Now, I'm not going to dive into the nuance of that debate.
The signature point here is that these guys incessantly rail against the women; yet, never call out the men or hold them accountable. They say women are sluts for doing these videos which they say amount to softcore porn; however, the men who patron these videos are victims and being taken advantage of because "what man doesn't wanna see a naked woman". It is totally lost on them these women are only making money because these dudes, largely incels it should be noted, are giving them money. Nobody is coercing them and while it could be argued some of these women might be leading these guys on it could just as easily be argued these guys should get a clue. Some people would say these guys' money would be better spent on actual hardcore porn than giving away $10 for 30 minutes of watching a chick play Fortnite while wearing only a sports bra and a thong. Again, some would say.
It is instances such as these the misogyny comes shining through. Crypto-misogynists take this approach with several topics. They use men "complimenting" women as an opportunity to claim victimhood because they claim catcalling is complimentary. They say women claiming sexual harassment is an affront to men because men are demonized for simply "being manly".
When it is broken down crypto-misogynists are like the other groups. Yes, there are some nuanced differences. However, the crux of their ideology and the base of their core beliefs is that feminism is society's biggest cancer the root cause of men's problems. They believe men are atop the hierarchy and feminism has destroyed that by instilling within women the false belief they're equal.
Crypto-misogynists firmly believe things such as patriarchy, pay inequality and rape culture are hoaxes perpetrated by feminists and leftists. They genuinely believe men are victims of genocide and women have constructed all the institutions in society against them.
Perhaps, they are not as virulent in their rhetoric as incels or as angry as mgtow but they might be even more dangerous. Because, crypto-misogynists can come across as reasonable but they completely co-sign onto the platform the other groups support. They present themselves as " knights in shining armor" but are really pigs drenched in misogyny and disdain for women obtaining true equality.
