Blackpillers believe admitting women their own income was a huge mistake, especially in combination with current economic stagnation. In the past, women's choosiness was naturally counterbalanced by their [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|material dependence on men]]. Removing this dependence, renders men useless and reduces them to their looks and "social skills" such as superficial posturing, brashness and obnoxiousness ([[clown world]]), departing from traditional masculine traits like being taciturn, quietly confident. | '''Equal pay''': Blackpillers believe admitting women their own income was a huge mistake, especially in combination with current economic stagnation.

Blackpillers believe allowing women in politics was a huge mistake. For one thing, this is believed to fuel gendered politics which will ultimately drive the sexes apart. It is also believed that old, childless and bitter token women are occupying influential positions, pushing anti-male policies. Feminization of the workplace and politics is seen to cause overemphasis on useless socializing and posturing ([[clown world]]), draconian anti-harassment laws and limitations of freedom of expression (e.g. gossiping about or slut-shaming women). In fact, men's intrasexual competition is known to be much more [[toxic masculinity|ruthless]] in presence of women,<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1053535711000321</ref> so women's increased workplace participation has likely an effect to this extent. | '''Women in politics''': Blackpillers believe allowing women in politics was a huge mistake.

Contact to women is seen to be reduced to situations in which looks are the main thing that matters (e.g. bars and online dating<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Looks_are_most_important_to_women_in_speed_dating</ref>) especially for the many socially isolated millennials, aggravated by the fact that women more often have their own high incomes, so men cannot improve their SMV by income as much as in the past, and are hence more reduced to their physical appearance. | '''Lookist & harsh dating opportunities''': Contact to women is seen to be reduced to situations in which looks are the main thing that matters (e.g. bars and online dating<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Looks_are_most_important_to_women_in_speed_dating</ref>) especially for the many socially isolated millennials, aggravated by the fact that women more often have their own high incomes, so men cannot improve their SMV by income as much as in the past, and are hence more reduced to their physical appearance. | ||
The more unattractive the man, the longer longer courtship is required to convince a woman, so brief dating opportunities where only looks matter, pose huge disadvantages to such males. | The more unattractive the man, the longer longer courtship is required to convince a woman, so brief dating opportunities where only looks matter, pose huge disadvantages to such males. | ||
This is further aggravated by increasingly harsh social rules concerning flirting and harassment. As such, men perceive to lack opportunities to even get to know women, e.g. they reported this as a main reason for their singlehood on Reddit.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Menelaos_Apostolou/publication/326904341_Why_Men_Stay_Single_Evidence_from_Reddit/links/5b757c9992851ca6506486fe/Why-Men-Stay-Single-Evidence-from-Reddit.pdf</ref> | This is further aggravated by increasingly harsh social rules concerning flirting and harassment.

Another frequent theme is that [[Cognitive behavioral therapy|psychotherapy]], counseling and [[psychiatry]] are useless and give poor advice. It is claimed they merely parrot bluepilled notions about being nice and taking a [[shower]], and are ultimately a waste of time and money. There is indeed evidence that psychotherapist do not improve by training and that the effectiveness of psychotherapy is mostly not better than placebo (which consists in self-administered self-help, or in taking ''any'' action, other than psychotherapy). There is also some evidence (drawing on large samples from the U.S and Germany) that suggests psychotherapy can actively be harmful to the patient, being associated with negative personality changes (increases in neuroticism, stress and depression) and declines in positive traits (such as self esteem and conscientiousness).<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656616302410</ref> | '''Corrupt therapy and psychiatry''': Another frequent theme is that [[Cognitive behavioral therapy|psychotherapy]], counseling and [[psychiatry]] are useless and give poor advice.

Another frequently invoked blackpill is how increased mutational load in mainly due to drastically decreased infant mortality and milder living conditions,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> as well as pollution (e.g. xenoestrogens), and/or changes in diet (obesity) may have lead to a decline of masculine features, such as robust mandible, compact midface,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> and also reduced testosterone levels and hence reduced muscle mass, but also a higher incident rate of all kinds of diseases and mental conditions, e.g. autism. Likewise, sperm count has reduced as much as 50% in the past decades. Such changes should predict that more men now fall below what is objectively deemed as lowest bar for physical attractiveness by most women. | '''Mutants''': Another frequently invoked blackpill is how increased mutational load in mainly due to drastically decreased infant mortality and milder living conditions,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> as well as pollution (e.g. xenoestrogens), and/or changes in diet (obesity) may have lead to a decline of masculine features, such as robust mandible, compact midface,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men_with_dominant.2C_aggressive_faces_.28high_fWHR.29_are_preferred_for_short_term_relationships</ref> and also reduced testosterone levels and hence reduced muscle mass, but also a higher incident rate of all kinds of diseases and mental conditions, e.g. autism.
