“Red Pill writers...have appropriated the texts and history of ancient Greece and Rome to bolster their most abhorrent ideas: that all women are deceitful and degenerate; that white men are by nature more rational than (and therefore superior to) everyone else; that women's sexual boundaries exist to be manipulated and crossed; and, finally, that society as a whole would benefit if men were given the responsibility for making all decisions for women, particularly over their sexual and reproductive choices.” MisogynyRape CultureEssentialism Book:Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age Source: Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age
“The men of the Red Pill who write about the ancient world would have their readers believe there is a straight line from antiquity to today, a continuity of male and female behavior...this illusion of continuity is actually an ideologically motivated strategy to resurrect ancient norms in the present day.” GenderMisogynyClassicsEssentialism Book:Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age Source: Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age
