Over at Sigma Frame, Jack has been presenting a series on what I would call trying to harvest the benefits of the Manosphere without the moral garbage that came with it.
Along with his readers in the comments, he notes that the so-called Red Pill of socio-sexual dynamics produced a body of understanding about what women are really like, particularly here in America, against what they falsely claim. But like so many things, it changed a bit while we were learning about it over the past decade. As bad as it was when this movement started, things are far worse now.
In summary, American women worship themselves as goddesses and refuse to consider any kind of relationship with anything less than the top 5-10% of men. Men are measured against a scale that the Manosphere was able to discern. Aside from fudging yourself up the scale just a little on a few factors of manhood, as defined by the women, there's really nothing most men can do to improve their prospects. And since women always get what they want from the legal system (as long as they play by certain rules), the vast majority of men are in for a very rough time.
America is ruled by women, if not directly, then by indirect influence. The deck is stacked against men. The portion of women who don't indulge in this cult are so small that their presence is negligible in American society. I won't say "non-existent", but very hard to find. This is why such women are referred to as "unicorns". Men who find them and are considered blessed beyond description, as if it were some kind of fantasy.
My wife is referred to as a unicorn. The vast majority of men in the Manosphere have radically different marriage experiences than mine. I would claim that my good fortune is all the work of God. More to the point, I had begun to approach the Covenant a long time ago, before I was consciously aware of it. I knew I had a different attitude about a lot of things, and only within the past couple of decades could I explain what God had shown me way back when I was first going to college. Embracing the Covenant puts you in a different place, a place where God's blessings fall.
I'm not going to tell you that I can list the rules by which God would give you a unicorn marriage, too, but that you will find your place in His favor. Whatever it is He chooses to grant you will be the best you could possibly have.
And that's what Jack is trying to say in this series that began about the first of this month. Whatever you could harvest from God's provision, it starts with the Covenant. But more than this, we can fill in a vast range of gaps that the Manosphere left when it mostly disappeared from the Net. There were plenty of men who were apex fellows harvesting all the female attention, but precious few of them had any grasp of what the rest of the men lived with in their lives. Their advice often rang hollow because the men who gave that advice never had to test it from the common man's place.
And it was typically lacking in moral value. It was simply a game of sexual conquest, with precious few even talking about how to build a life. Thus, Jack has been trying to survey what has been offered and trying to connect it with covenant living. It's a very tall order. All the more so when we consider the context in which we live, with the majority of women frankly hostile to a high moral standard.
By now, you probably understand that nothing short of social and cultural destruction is going to solve that problem. Until American women have no choice but to embrace what God wants to provide, they will not abandon their idolatry. And if you've read much of this blog, you already know the prophetic theme of apocalypse coming our way rather soon. Is it any wonder?

At least now, what seems to be manosphere influencers focus on self-improvement, which is at least attainable by anyone with interest, as opposed to getting women in one form or another. Maybe a lot of people realized they were oversold on some ideas that didn't work for them in the real world.
