Intro

Have you ever noticed any of the following sequences of events occurring very often?

  1. Wife Gains Weight → Husband Cheats → Divorce
  2. Husband Cheats → Wife Loses Weight
  3. Wife Loses Weight → Wife Cheats / Divorces
  4. Divorce → Ex-Wife Loses Weight

Or some combination of the above sequences, most often appearing as…

  • Wife Gains Weight → Husband Cheats (or shames the Wife) → Wife Loses Weight → Wife Cheats / Divorces
  • Wife Gains Weight → Husband Cheats (or shames the Wife) → Wife Divorces → Ex-Wife Loses Weight → Ex-Wife Returns to the Carousel

Some variation of this basic recipe is more common than what anyone cares to admit.

In this post, I’ll review 4 case studies and describe how this phenomenon relates to The Attention Reward vs Indulgence (Food) Reward Hypothesis, which basically states that…

  • When Attention is profuse and readily obtainable, women will do the hard work of garnering more of it.
  • In the absence of profuse and readily obtainable Attention, women will default to Self-Indulgence, get fat, and become lazy.

This hypothesis fully explains why many, if not most, women have a sudden transition upon commitment / marriage from being attractive, good-looking, and thin, to being overweight, unattractive, and unkempt.

But it doesn’t end there. This post will explain the consequences on the marriage, and it’s NOT good!

Intro

In a previous essay, I offered a brief survey of 4 ¡Sc!əNt!f!c! theories that examine how the dopamine-fueled Behavior-Reward cycle functions and how it affects contextualized behaviors.

These 4 theories included:

  1. The Reward Hypothesis
  2. The Food Reward Hypothesis
  3. The Reward Deficit Theory
  4. The Reward Competition Hypothesis

In this essay, I’ll explain how all these hypotheses relate to several memetic archetypes of how women’s sociosexual behaviors change with respect to their specific sociosexual status and why these behaviors change throughout their life cycles.

While reading the comments under Extending Youth via Weight Loss Drugs (2026/4/3), I saw that rontomlinson2, DeepStrength, Sharkly, and I all have different mental concepts about how diet and weight loss work.

DeepStrength mentioned the Food Reward Hypothesis, which describes how eating ‘rewards’ the brain with a sense of satiety via dopamine, thus driving habits. In turn, habits affect dopamine pathways and how we experience desire and satiety, thereby forming a feedback loop.

I looked into this and found it so interesting that I spent most of the weekend studying this topic and related topics, and writing this post and the next.

In this essay, we’ll take a look at how the behavior-reward cycle functions, and how it affects contextualized behaviors, as described in 4 ¡Sc!əNt!f!c! hypotheses / theories.

  1. The Reward Hypothesis
  2. The Food Reward Hypothesis
  3. The Reward Deficiency Theory
  4. The Reward Competition Hypothesis

I’ll also cover Reward Suppression and other caveats and some thoughts about how this relates to faith.

In the next essay, I’ll use these hypotheses to explain how women’s behavioral habits change with respect to sociosexual context and why their behaviors change throughout their life cycles.

Extending Youth via Weight Loss Drugs

Intro

In contrast to the last post, popular drugs have changed over the past 60 years.  Instead of having fun via an immediate dopamine hit, people are pursuing a dopamine-fueled hedonistic lifestyle by using drugs to adjust their body chemistry and physique to that end.

Readers have probably already heard about Ozempic and similar weight-loss drugs. They’re very popular in Taiwan. My wife estimates that about 30% of all her coworkers have taken Mounjaro to lose anywhere from 5 to 20 kg within 3-5 weeks.* I know these people. Their bodies look 10 years younger, their faces 10 years older.

In this essay, I’ll summarize this class of drugs and why it is in high demand, examine an article appearing in the New York Post on this topic, and offer some conclusions.

* A healthy rate of weight loss is about 1 kg./week. 4 kg./week is drastic and severe.

Intro

For more than a decade, there has been a growing epidemic of women dependent on chemical substances to function normally.  The most common artificients are alcohol, antianxiety medications (e.g., benzodiazepines, SNRIs, Xanax), antidepressants (e.g., Lexapro, Prozac, SSRIs, Zoloft), stimulants, and other psychosomatic mood enhancers, such as marijuana and molly. Sedative-Hypnotics (e.g., Ambien) and Psychedelics (AKA dissociatives) such as psilocybin (AKA mushrooms) and LSD are making a comeback.

The result is a generation of drugged-up automatons roaming the bars, city streets, and workplaces looking for attention, meaning, and relevancy.  It reminds me of some zombie films I’ve passed up seeing.

Long time readers will know how these women arrived in this sorry state. They altered their body chemistry by taking hormonal Birth Control drugs, and spent their youth riding the carousel, participating in the sins of sexual promiscuity and the child sacrifice of abortion, which is mur_der.  Then some of them married poorly and blew up their marriages and families. Others became doped up / winoholic Kitty Karens.

And they call this “Women’s Liberation”.  Heh.

But it was not always this way.

Lest we forget.

Why the Red Pill Can Never Be Churchian

The Christian Manosphere / Red Pill cannot match the gynocentric expectations of either Western Culture or Churchianity, nor should it.

Intro

In this essay, I’ll address the points raised in a post appearing on Reddit/ChristianMarriage: The Toxic Manosphere: Why the Red Pill can never be Christian (2021/8/6), specifically the reasons why the author (MedianNerd) claims the Red Pill cannot be Christian, a claim which would be better phrased as reasons why the Red Pill cannot be Blue Pill congruent, or culturally converged, or gynocentric … or Churchian.  (In this essay, I’ve made this substitution in the text.)

More discussion on this post can be found under a repost in r/Reformed.

Before reading my response, it should be noted that this post was written only a year after The Christian Red Pill (CRP) broke away from the Secular Manosphere, so some of the differences had not yet gelled within that time.  Since this post was written, The CRP has answered many of the questions that were brought up.  So here, I’ll quote the post and summarize the answers below. It’s a little longer than usual, but I aim to settle the arguments concisely.

The White Knight 2.0

The form and function of the White Knight has morphed ever so evil in our time.

The White Knight 1.0: The Chivalrous Overprotective Blue Pilled Fool

The Manospherian 1.0 concept of a White Knight was defined in various contexts and degrees as…

  • The Blue Pilled Fool: A man who believes that women are precious pearls of boundless grace and immense beauty, and yet are altogether defenseless and perpetually victimized by a cold world filled with carelessly cruel people and harsh realities, and therefore practices chivalry, enforces special privileges for women, and promotes gynocentrism.
  • The Gynocentric Democrat: Women, White Knights, weak Betas, and naive Blue Pill fools congregate in select social microcosms in which everyone agrees women are good and right, and men are bad and wrong.  Within this group solidarity, WKs are those who cover, defend, and justify women’s bad decisions and protect them from the consequences thereof.
  • The Male Feminist: A man who stands up for women’s rights to be absolutely equal to men’s, but then comes to her rescue and/or defends her interests whenever her moral irresponsibility becomes an embarrassing burden, thereby enabling and falsely validating women’s false fantasies of egalitarianism. These men are almost always motivated by the belief that they can gain favor with women who will reward them with love, acceptance, “friendship”, and maybe some snatch if they mold their slimy souls around women’s deceptive lies. MFers are known to be the least ethical and most immoral of all men listed here.
  • The Orbiter: A man who falsely believes that a particular woman belongs to him (or will eventually), when in fact, she’s silently keeping him firmly in the friend zone and utilizing his desires for her own ends.  Such a man will do backflips to defend her, lie profusely to her and for her, and obsequiously place his left nut in a thumb vice just to please her.
  • The P00n Pedestalizer: A man who is an indignantly principled, self-sacrificing, wholly devoted worshipper of P00n and of the human hosts who bear them (but whom seldom bare them for such woebegone men).
  • The Useful Idiot: An altruistic, well-meaning, but naïve man who intends to defend, guard, and protect women as a sex, thinking it to be his masculine duty.  But he is, in fact, too Blue Pilled to effect the good he intends, and ends up being a useful idiot within women’s self-serving schemes.

In general, WKs protect women from the natural consequences of their own follies, foolishness, and various vices, prevent women from being held accountable, and block RP aware men from doing any effective good. They think themselves to be bastions of morality, pillars of societal ethics, and unseen, unrecognized heroes for these things.

Common traits that often (but not all or always) appear in WKs include:

  • They believe women like and are attracted to Nice Guys.
  • They operate on an internal covert contract, in which they expect to have their desires rewarded if they behave a certain way.

But all their efforts are in vain. These women, once liberated from their responsibilities to themselves and humanity in general, redirect their energies towards nude Pussy Hat marches, Machiavellian solipsism, throwing neon green dildos onto basketball courts midgame, and other stupid, self-centered schemes.

The Reviling Wife and Her Churchian White Knight Enablers

Surfdumb has mentioned the term “Reviling Wives”.

I did a little study on this topic.

It appears that “reviling wife” is now the preferred term that is acceptable church talk about what long-time RP readers are used to calling contentious / rebellious wives, as well as literally dozens of other more memorable (and less polite) synonyms.

A Summary of the Negative Effects of Complementarianism and Egalitarianism within American Evangelical Protestant Churches

Alternate Title: A summary of Dalrock’s expositions on how church-endorsed Feminism has destroyed the church and Christian men.

In essence, putting women first means placing God somewhere down the list and men last.

Intro

In the previous post, American Protestant Churches — Why do they Decline? (2026/3/25), I listed several reasons why Protestant churches are slowly falling apart.

Two false doctrines in particular have inundated both the Mainline and Evangelical versions of American Protestantism, and have wrecked the AEP church in particular: progressive Egalitarianism and the relatively more conservative Complementarianism, which Dalrock incisively called an “Egalitarian marriage with a veneer of headship”.

In more than a thousand posts between 2010 and 2020, Dalrock extensively analyzed modern Evangelical teachings on marriage and found them sorely wanting in Biblical Authenticity and Headship.  Dalrock exposed how both Complementarianism and Egalitarianism are implemented by churches in ways that functionally disadvantage men and husbands, leading to the breakdown of marriages and then also the church.

Following Dalrock, Christianity and Masculinity, Σ Frame, and many other Christian Manospherians have written extensively about this problem and have added many more valuable insights, models, observations, para-prophecies, and theories, but Dalrock’s work [Archive] continues to stand as the bedrock foundation of the Christian Red Pill regarding Church heresies and the carnal social nature of ‘Christian’ women.

Going on 6 years after his departure, Dalrock’s expositions, fundamental viewpoints, and para-prophecies continue to reverberate throughout the Christian Red Pill, delivering sharp warnings to many Evangelical circles across America, and are just as shudderingly relevant today as they were a decade ago, perhaps even more so.

Here, I’ll summarize Dalrock’s main theses on how Complementarianism has destroyed Christian men and the Church.
