red pill
Where it comes from

noun red pills · redpill
- Something that, in the view of the speaker or writer, enables or compels a person to overcome illusion and perceive harsher reality. To take the red pill is to choose to take responsibility for our lives, both on the personal and larger social levels.
- Something that causes someone to believe in gynocentrism in modern society. One of the unfortunate outcomes of a red pill awakening (i.e. to learn the true nature of men, women, our culture's abject gynocentrism) is red pill rage: anger at the raw deal dealt to men by unconstrained gynocentrism and a sexual market place that is far too risky for an awakened man to tolerate.
- The subculture of men who share a belief in the gynocentrism of modern society; manosphere. Most red pill thinkers will have already debunked this one and replaced it with a better story.
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see red, pill.
