How does TRP explain happy feminist relationships that last?

Are you willing to concede that all of TRP "field reports" and other anecdotal evidence is useless as well?

They are useless as evidence, but not as a source of hypotheses. This is an important distinction.

See, a Field Report is useless as evidence to convince you of anything. But that's not the purpose they serve to me. To me, they are reports of something that I should test myself. "Someone tried this, and it worked. I should try it, and see if it does."

The source of confusion here is that TBP subscribers think that /r/theredpill is a proselytizing group. That we want to convince you of anything. We don't, really. I'm happy to explain what I think when you ask, but I don't need you to believe it.

Because it's there for me to use in my life. That purpose does not require either your belief or your permission.

So, no, Field Reports should not convince you of anything. That's not what they are for.

I was simply seeing if you all are capable of recognizing that relationships without redpill power dynamics can lead to a couple's happiness.

The "red pill" isn't a metaphor for a set of procedures. It's a metaphor for "cynical realism about sex and mating". It means "use your eyes, without trying to be politically correct".

In this case, I can't use my eyes. Because I can't examine this thing you are telling me about. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it works, but one of you is really in charge. Maybe you are a clever labrador retriever that has learned to type with its nose. I don't know.

Do I understand human sexuality entirely? No. But do I understand enough to know that I'd better not take people's word for it, especially when it agrees with the cultural zeitgeist? Yes.

The parable of the lampshade doesn't mean "you are wrong". It means "I can't comment on what I can't see".
