The blackpill holds that modernity and technology have unleashed [[foid|female sexuality]] and created a shallow, [[lookism|lookist]] and [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] dating sphere which is destroying the social fabric of civilization and that only reverting women's emancipation can help. | The blackpill holds that modernity and technology have unleashed [[foid|female sexuality]] and created a shallow, [[lookism|lookist]] and [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] dating sphere which is destroying the social fabric of civilization and that only reverting women's emancipation can help. | ||
Hence some blackpillers push for a return to [[tradcon|traditions]], [[sexual sublimation]], [[monogamy]] and the [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|'natural subordination']] of women. This is seen in accordance with the [[greatest happiness principle]] as even women themselves are thought to be currently unhappy.<ref name="vid"></ref> | Hence some blackpillers push for a return to [[tradcon|traditions]], [[sexual sublimation]], [[monogamy]] and the [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|'natural subordination']] of women.

The social conservatism and focus on [[sexual sublimation]] reminds of the philosophy of 20th century English ethnologist [[J. D. Unwin]]. | The social conservatism and focus on [[sexual sublimation]] reminds of the philosophy of 20th century English ethnologist [[J. D. Unwin]].

Other blackpillers are rather anti-[[tradcon]] and entirely fatalist, offer no solution but [[cope|copying]] by [[meme|shitpost]]ing. | Other blackpillers are rather anti-[[tradcon]] and entirely fatalist, offer no solution but [[cope|copying]] by [[meme|shitpost]]ing. | ||
The popularity of the blackpill is a result of the failure of the [[mainstream media]] and society of [[bluepill|bluepilled]] pontification, to account for otherwise inexplicable phenomena such as the [[halo effect]], [[hybristophilia]], [[cacophobia]] and how female choosiness is leads to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. | The popularity of the blackpill is a result of the failure of the [[mainstream media]] and society of [[bluepill|bluepilled]] pontification, to account for otherwise inexplicable phenomena such as the [[halo effect]], [[hybristophilia]], [[cacophobia]] and how female choosiness is leads to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. | ||

The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and [[romance|romantic]] life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]] and/or a matter of cultivating a positive [[personality]]. It provides an basis whereby one can reject the barrage of "self-improvement" advice that is ubiquitous in media, advertising and in day-to-day [[platitude]] and [[virtue signaling]]. | The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and [[romance|romantic]] life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]] and/or a matter of cultivating a positive [[personality]].

Most blackpillers believe in evolutionary psychology and [[biological essentialism|biological determinism/essentialism]] (see [[Scientific Blackpill]]). The central aspects of the blackpill are not new to academia at all, in fact, they often draw from scientific literature that predates the prevalent gynocentric monoculture in the social sciences (e.g. [[Briffault's law]], [[Bateman's principle]] and [[sexy sons hypothesis]]). | |||
