Red Pill Guy Gets Offended When A Married Mom Asks Him Why He Doesn't Exhibit Self-Control And Stay Committed To One Woman
On the popular "whatever" podcast, a YouTuber who claims that men are not wired to be monogamous verbally attacks a woman who challenges his ideas and asks a simple question.
The Red Pill manosphere is a loosely connected online community of men who share a collective belief that societal constructs largely disadvantage men while favoring women. The name "Red Pill" is a metaphor borrowed from the film The Matrix, where taking the red pill means accepting the harsh truth of reality as opposed to blissful ignorance. The primary belief held by Red Pill adherents is that traditional masculine traits are being suppressed and devalued in contemporary society, as a result of what they perceive as an overreach of feminist ideologies. They argue that the gender dynamics are skewed to disadvantage men in areas such as divorce, child custody, and false rape accusations, among others. Their discourse often includes concepts such as "hypergamy" (the idea that women naturally seek out higher-status mates) and "alpha" and "beta" male categorizations, creating a worldview that sees human relationships through a lens of sexual and social power dynamics.
The Red Pill manosphere's relationship with feminism is contentious. While feminism claims to seek gender equality, focusing on correcting historical power imbalances and striving for equal rights and opportunities, the Red Pill community often perceives these efforts as anti-male. They claim feminism overlooks men's issues and contributes to a "gynocentric" society, where women are favored over men.
While the Red Pill movement identifies many problems in society that people have been witnessing for years, it offers the wrong solution. It claims that men lack the biological ability to be monogamous and that they should be permitted to have sex with multiple women while having one steady girlfriend or even a wife. The popular podcast "whatever" hosted a YouTuber named J. Waller, who adheres to these values and claimed that men are not designed to be monogamous.

The "whatever" podcast has taken the internet by storm, providing unfiltered insights into the current world of dating through its popular segment "Dating Talk." Every Sunday and Tuesday, host Brian Atlas facilitates roundtable discussions featuring various young women, and occasionally men, exploring the realities of being single in the 21st century. These conversations dive into topics ranging from dating apps and catfishing to the complexities of maintaining multiple relationships simultaneously.
The women, predominantly in their early twenties, often share their personal experiences of engaging in dating practices that challenge traditional societal norms, such as seeking out sugar daddies or working in strip clubs. However, the podcast's popularity has been significantly fueled by the viral moments that ensue from these discussions. Notable instances include a heated debate over transphobia and the critique of overuse of filler words, reflecting the tensions and communication gaps in modern dating.
Many of the discussions reflect the core tenets of modern feminism and the evolving expectations of both genders in relationships. Women on the show often express their desires to explore their identities and desires freely, often leading to confrontations with the more traditional guests.
Lila Rose, founder and president of the non-profit Live Action, was a guest on "Dating Talk" and had the opportunity to ask J. Waller some questions about his refusal to be monogamous. He says he just isn't wired that way, and he spent the better part of his 20s trying to change, but it just didn't happen. He will never commit to just one woman.
"But you're a man of self-control. You work out, you do business. You possess your own power and direct it the way you want to direct it," Lila says.
"It's not how I am," he says, not even making eye contact with her.
"You think that might be a limited mindset?" she responds.
He becomes visibly angry at the line of questioning and launches into a tirade of ad hominem insults rather than actually defending his position.
"I think it's none of your business," he snaps. "I don't want you to think I'm triggered by you, I'm not. I saw somebody say that, and I think that's interesting. I think you're annoying, but I'm not triggered. You are, you're annoying, in like this goody-two-shoes type way, and that's fine. I'm going to live my life on my terms, unapologetically, truly, so you can ask me this 85 different ways. At the end of the day, I'm going to walk out of here the same man."
Lila simply smiles and allows him to insult her, knowing that she has taken the high road and has clearly struck a nerve. Throughout the conversation, he is never able to make eye contact with her and is slouched over the microphone. Many people online identify his behavior and body language as a person who is not fully confident in his own beliefs and decisions. Meanwhile, Lila is sitting straight up and doesn't appear to be phased, not even by his insults.
The Red Pill manosphere claim that men are biologically wired to have sex with multiple women is rooted in some truth. Men are more geared toward having multiple sexual partners than women are, as women release higher amounts of oxytocin when they have sex, which bonds them to their partner, and they are more interested in finding a man who exhibits attributes that are linked to stable relationships because they know deep down that they need to be cared for and protected when they are pregnant for nine months and raising children. However, just because men and women are wired to do certain behaviors doesn't mean we shouldn't use self-control to overcome them and be more virtuous. Both genders have unique primal desires that are difficult to control, but rather than submit to these desires, we should do our best to harness them for the betterment of our family and our society.
