Hi rpw, how are you ladies?

Well I just wanted to stop by and say hello. A long time ago I got on Reddit just so I could go on the red pill women sub. I'm sure everyone around here remembers the drama that caused the split. After that I would lurk around here, but as I am not married, spent more time on the other forum.

Things started to go even more downhill and I think the toughest thing for me was when regular contributors would ask for advice but then get ripped apart in the comments. A lot of people I liked reading just up and left.

Now it's the same guys posting as always, but a never-ending rotation of new women. And the women seem to all compete with each other to see who can be the meanest, like the guys are.

I remember after the split someone from here called it a plate-factory. I didn't understand at the time but now I see that's exactly what it has become.

I still participate there every now and then, but it's so obvious to me that they lost the core of what it means to be a red pill woman. I've seen posts about polyamory, accepting cheating in a young relationship, anti-marriage rants, telling women to sleep around if they want to, and more insidiously, men promoting poorly disguised male sexual strategy as female sexual strategy. It is exactly TRP Plate Schoolβ„’

They said the mods of RedPillWives were "too strict" but strictness and discipline prevent stop subs from turning into an ideological mess.

This is what happens when you allow men to run a women's sub, and is precisely why this sub was formed.

Historically, women have always had a private space to discuss women's issues away from the men. I like to think that this sub provides a little of that :)

Men are allowed to comment here if they really want to, but we have a very low tolerance for male centric advice, and I personally don't understand why guys would want to hang out in a women's group anyway πŸ˜‰

It always bothered me that they allowed male users from TRP or MGTOW to comment/post without any sort of vetting because "TRP mods founded the sub." Like you said, why would a man hang out in a women's sub? Even if a man has good advice, the male perspective is entirely different from that of women. A woman can't teach a man how to be dominant, likewise, a man can't teach a woman how to be submissive.

FYI You can comment here regardless if you're married or not. The name was more of a statement that RPW (and women's sexual strategy) are pro-marriage and ultimately desire a relationship that leads to married status. It doesn't mean you have to be married to join.

I saw a women who mentioned she was divorced after 15+ years and in a new LTR after a few years to regroup, she was there to improve (she said). She was ripped apart for her past situation and for giving advice against what doesn't work. It was weird. Maybe it was here or RPW, don't remember. One would think the two would be aligned. Don't know the history of the subs so...grain of salt.

[–]tintedlipbalm 3 points4 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

About two years ago this community was started by the women that used to mod RPW and they left because of disagreements about the direction that RPW was taking. That's why the two subs have a different feel, since the contributors don't really overlap.

I'm not familiar with what happened to this woman but frankly there's no need to bring that reproach here, as it will only stir up drama.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

My bad. Don't wanna start drama.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't think it would have been this sub, I don't remember that.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I post there instead of here because there is more active. Today I saw a post where a women told another women to stay in physically abusive relationship and tried to suggest it could be her fault and she could be provoking the man to hit her.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

That's crazy!

Welcome! We're very happy to have you here :) the name redpillwives simply denotes that we are women who see marriage as an important goal. All like minded women, married or not, have a home here.

We're a smaller sub, and we like it that way. We're quite strict on what kind of content we allow, and we certainly like to focus on female-centric advice. It's my opinion that accepting advice from men will tend to lead to a sub that serves the male imperative, whether that's intentional or not.

Things are quiet here at the moment, but I've got a bit of a revamp underway behind the scenes for this sub, so please do stick around and get involved. There will be more to come soon!

Thank you so much :) I think I will stop by more often.

Aaand they banned me πŸ˜‚

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

I recognize a lot of y’all. I’m a regular poster over there. Mainly because A. It’s way more active, and B. I’m not married or even close to it. But while some of the advice is awesome, a lot of it is extremely inconsistent and not very good and has been making me more and more irritated. Not to mention the fact that red pilled guys seem to troll that sub for posts they can make fun of on other subs that shall not be named but are quite hostile to women. I was invited to check out this sub by another regular poster from that sub, and am happy to have found it. :)

where are all the good men? certainly not over there! :P

When I first started lurking the RPW subs I was looking for advice on how to be more feminine and attract men. What I found was a bunch of young women who believe that being married is every women`s ultimate goal and that like to be mean to other women just because they feel better than them.

What broke the camels back was a comment made by one of the mods saying that "we were guests at the RP house" so we couldn't criticise the RP theory. I realised that it was very cultish and that they were just training women to become future plates. I unsubbed from RPW but kept redpillwives as I think its way more realistic and less cultish.

RPW posters live in a different reality. It should be called step ford wives training. Its such a shame that so many young women are being teached how to be a man`s doormat. And this are the same kind of girls I encounter now that im in my 30s and my friends are getting divorced and trying to go to clubs and drink now that they got divorced after being with an abusive guy for all their 20s. Such a shame.

That's my feelings too. They're giving very weird advice on the other sub. My parents are in a very "red pill" relationship. For example, my mom cooks and serves my dad every meal he eats. Yet, my mom isn't a doormat or a stepford wife at all. And my dad is very "alpha" but he would never view my mom with the mentality that he is gaming or playing her. They have a cooperative instead of competitive mindset.

i think it was our mod Camille who said "we aren't team woman, we aren't team man, we're team harmony".

i really like that sentiment :)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

You're very welcome over here :)

We created this sub for precisely that reason.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah I used to love this sub but now...meh.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children) | Copy Link

Its embarrassing. Im rarely on reddit at all these days. Voat Tradwives FTW. I still pop in and check out this sub now and again. But there is much more support for trad women on other sites. To many Cocks on here think they can rule the Henhouse.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy Link

Would you be willing to share any resources?

[–]Astroviridae 3 points4 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

I actually found some good Facebook groups and pages for tradwives. The ones I'm in are all religious oriented, not sure if you're interested in that. Also, there's a small trad community on Tumblr of all places. On Youtube I like GirlDefined. I don't use Twitter, but I've heard good things about wife with a purpose. In general, I try to stick to groups/pages/people that are religiously trad, but that's not necessarily for everyone.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

You might also be interested in the recommended resources we've gathered! I haven't checked them in a while so might be a little out of date, but there's some great blogs and communities in there :)

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
