I replied on that one too, but you've rephrased the questions here.

1) I believe so, but you still need at some point to have a single decision when your relationship is faced with a choice. I hate to quote the bible since I am not religious, but there's a great quote in there that two men cannot walk together unless they agree. What this means for you is, can you accept your husband's decisions? If you can't accept that only one person can "head" a household, then it's questionable.

2) Possible? Yes. Inherently stable? No.

3) Define "Supported". If you're asking if it's ok for women to initiate, I don't think you'll find many men who would tell you no RP or otherwise. If you're asking if dominance means all the time, male in relationship always submits to the female's will, I would say that's fairly contrary to RP understanding. That's not to say that you cannot find such a relationship, or that it's impossible to make such a relationship. Just that it's like finding a unicorn.

4) Procreation is a personal choice, magnified on a societal scale that impacts human survival. Red Pill makes no judgements on what choices individuals make for themselves. Red Pill makes harsh judgements on where society is going because people are not procreating. That is in no way a contradiction.

5) No, women are not inferior. Most anger at women you see in RP circles comes from men who have been legally, financially, emotionally burned/destroyed by inferior women who were given power over them by the laws of our time. They have a right to their anger.

For the most part, RP knowledge makes no judgements on who is superior/inferior. You can have mutual value and respect for each other in a relationship and wholly acknowledge the inequities you've helped each other through.

For instance early in a traditional marriage, before children, women are making a huge sacrifice by offering their youth, virginity, beauty to a man who has not performed yet. They are giving gifts to a man who has no large assets, no career, no social circles, etc... It is a sacrifice. However, later in life, when that woman has had 2-3 children, is looking significantly older, and is perhaps physically incapable of performing labor to secure a financial future for herself and her children... Her husband is now available and at the peak of his value, paying her back for her earlier gift to him. He is there to make sure she can age gracefully and enjoy the children she made.

So, you tell me who was the inferior one in that example. I can't see it.

6) I'll let a lady answer this one.

7) No. Alphas will never be stay-at-home fathers. That is about as polar-opposite the definition as you can get.

I read most of your original post too...but I'm confused why you would be drawn to the RP ideals at all...

I can't really see how you think you're going to get any kind of useful input from this world. It is like you posted just to stir up drama and justify your feelings or something.

You talk a lot about yourself but all the things you mention about men (that I noticed) are beta/submissive qualities. You even say all the alphas you have ever met were awful people, so why do you think you want one?

You're extremely focused on your own success, no matter how ambitious your beta is, he will never be alpha because you support your own goals before his. He can't lead if you won't give up control.

I think you can have a power couple under TRP ideology, but not like you're talking. I said it somewhere else...why would it bother him if you're the alpha female as long as he (the alpha male) is still above you? It doesn't sound like you could ever let a man rule over yourself.

Maybe your boyfriend left it open on your laptop so you could understand how you're crushing his masculinity and why you'll never be happy. Your whole post sounds like even what you have, which is far more than most, isn't good enough for you. You're entitled, and while you might have physical qualities that are appealing to men you don't seem to have many feminine ones or you repress them.

I don't see you finding anything of value in RP or RPW. You're welcome to live your life how you please, but you don't have a right to condemn other consenting adults from making their own choices.

The RP women I've seen on here are stronger than any feminist I've known. They know what they want, they don't deny their feelings or instincts and they all seem genuinely happy in their relationships...more than I can say for any 'power couple' or relationship with a dominant female.

any human pairing is possible and can be successful with the right two people--i think the red pill philosophy is more about the vast majority of males and females, not outliers like you are describing.

if you can be attracted to a man who stays home while you earn, and you can treat him the way he needs to be treated and you are compatible that way sure--but what has been found over the course of time is that women usually CANT respect a man who doesnt provide and usually DOES lose attraction for a man living in the female traditional role, unless he has an amazing ability to maintain some kind of "hand", either because he as higher sexual market value or some other factor that makes her feel like she is the partner of lesser value. women are generally programmed to seek higher value mates, thats just the way it is. much of male attractiveness comes from cues of higher value. this higher value doesnt ALWAYS have to be in being a provider though, it can be looks and attractiveness. in the traditional relationship where the women provides and the man stays home it was not him acting as the female, but usually as a "pimp"--keeping his provider woman in line with highly charged sexuality and the threat of violence. modern peopel usually see this as abusive but it is usually the only means by which a man who cant or doesnt provide can maintain some kind of higher status that keeps a provider woman from cheating or leaving. harsh reality

let me ask you this--do you want to be respected by a man for being like a man? or do you want to be loved and cherished as a woman?

red pill couples do value and respect each other, just not for the same things. i value my husbands leadership, protectiveness, sense of humor, intellect, technical skills and for the magical unicorn-like moments hes trusted me with his heart--he values and respects me for my loyalty, and how i take care of him and stood by him through travails, for the smiles and approval i give him, through the food i prepare for him lovingly and the sex i provide for him without him ever hearing "no". this is MUTUAL value and respect, but not IDENTICAL or REVERSE value and respect.

A TRP man's opinions:

Are power couples possible under TRP ideology?

I'm certainly not interested in a "career woman" for marriage. The point of marriage, for me, is to have a mother of my children. "Power couple" simply holds no interest to me, at all. I suspect many men are similar.

Are reversed gender roles possible? i.e. a female breadwinner and stay-at-home dad

I think there is a small minority of relationships that work well that way. However, it goes against female hypergamy, so generally, no.

Are sexually dominant women supported?

Sexually dominant women seem to be a small minority, the outliers. I'm not interested in a sexually dominant woman, at least not for marriage. Might be fun for a fling though.

Does TRP support women who don't want to have children (by that i mean physically only, I want to adopt/surrogate)?

I wouldn't be interested in a woman who doesn't want children, other than maybe some sex. Certainly not for marriage or a long term relationship.

Are women really inferior under TRP ideology? Can there be power couples with mutual value and respect, even when the traditional roles are switched or shared equally?

"Inferior" is a bullshit word that has basically no meaning when it comes to the relationships between men and women. Same with the word "equal" there's no such thing as an "equal" relationship.

What value should I look for/expect in a man besides financial or sex?

"Expect" nothing. Look for whatever you want. We all have different values after all.

Most of what I would say has been said... But I'll add:

There are exceptions to every rule. I believe Athol Kay has said in the past that he's worked with couples comprising a dominant female and submissive male. But I think there are statistically a lot less of those couples that end up working out. It's got to be sort of a perfect storm of couple traits.

I'm not sure what you mean specifically by "power couple"... But though I love being submissive to my guy, I'm incredibly opinionated, and have my own set of interests apart from him. I don't hang on his every move and word. I can be totally independent if i need to. He's proven himself a good captain, so I defer to him in joint decisions, but I make my own decisions as well. It's hard to explain. Does that make any sense?

We were in a constant power struggle in the first years of our marriage. I wanted to defer to him, but he forced me into an "equal marriage", thinking that's what I wanted. (Note , I didn't even know I didn't want that. So it's not like I was communicating that clearly.) It made us miserable. The relationship car runs much smoother now that there aren't two people tugging at the wheel.

And I'm so much more attracted to him now. A man that can make a solid, confident decision is sexy.

So that's why it works for us, and I didn't know it till he took the wheel from me.

Hope that all made sense.

As a case study:

See if you can get some generalizable characteristics in attitude & power structure that make the difference between the couples making it work, and those who don't.

I am by no means an expert. I'm answering for myself here...

1. I could see how this could work. I could also see where issues could come in. It all depends.

2. Not in my mind. It's just not a dynamic that works for me and, frankly, hasn't been something that has been shown to work out for couples. There is a reason traditions have been formed and stayed and there is a reason it's hard to check out of them. I know the trend today is to deny that and push boundaries and you will find plenty of individual cases where things work out well. But in general? Like I said there are a reason for these things. Ignoring that and forcing the issue isn't going to do us any good.

3. Do you mean in like a BDSM way? As in play? Or in general?

4. Yes. From what I have read, at least.

5. I don't get 'inferior' from it. I don't think mutual value and respect doesn't follow along with it as is, either. So I don't quite understand your question. I think you may be coming from a place that assumes TRP is ipso facto misogynistic.

6. I think that's entirely up to you. It might be a good idea to look for someone that is emotionally mature and self assured. What it really comes down to is sitting down and deciding what YOU want in life. If you want kids don't look for someone that doesn't and visa versa. Don't opt for a man with the idea that you need to or are going to change him, either.

7. Not in my mind. See above.
