I see comments all the time that indicate that many men on TRP do not seem to have internalized one of the fundamental pillars of TRP, a pillar which also underlies essentially all human sexual biology. They do not understand the basic reason why the concept of a slut exists for a woman, but not for a man. Some, of course, dance around the idea.

A master key can open any lock, but a master lock can be opened by any key.

or

Why would a woman brag about being a slut? It takes no skill.

These quotes are of course correct, but they do not cut to the core of the issue.

The concept of a slut exists because of human biology. A female is assured of her parentage because she bears the child during pregnancy. A human baby is helpless for a very long time because our brains take a long time to develop, so a mother requires resources from a man to help her raise the child. Yet a man does not know he is the father of a child, so he instinctively reels away from committing love and resources to a woman who displays slutty behavior, as this reduces the chance that the child is his.

This is the fundamental truth. This is the reason why no amount of Huffington Post or Salon articles about the unfairness of slut shaming will ever remove that pit in your stomach when you think of committing to one. But now I can already hear the replies – replies by the way, which will be given by both our enemies:

Red pill is total hypocrisy. They hate sluts but yet they try to fuck them. How does that make sense?

and replies which are also given by the confused among us:

Hey, I love sluts. The easier they give it up, the more pussy I get.

Both of these replies completely miss the point because they fail to grasp that men have a dual mating strategy just as women do. Women’s dual mating strategy is well known to all of us - alpha fucks/beta bucks. A woman will try to lock down the best quality man who will commit to her, and then she will be driven by her hypergamous nature to either try to upgrade to a higher quality man, or cheat on her beta provider with an alpha on the side. In doing so she locks down the provisioning she needs from the beta and captures the superior genetics of the alpha.

Similarly, men want to fuck as much pussy as they can (sowing their oats), but the biology of the human infant is always in the background. The inescapable fact is that the child with a father providing resources does the best in any time period of human history, so part of a male’s sexual strategy is always pulling him towards committing to a woman, which in the past has meant providing her with resources, but not necessarily sexual fidelity (or perhaps committing to several women, if his status and culture allow it).

In fact, at various times in western history, it was not considered a betrayal of the wife as long as a high-status man took his mistresses discreetly and did not divert the bulk of his inheritance from his legitimate children to his bastards. Some cultures with polygynous (1 man, multi women) traditions also allow a man to marry several wives as long as he can support them, or had rulers with wives plus semi-legitimate harems. Note that in these cultures, the women who are sharing a man are not considered slutty or shameful. It is only shameful if they cheat. Again, the point is uncertain male parentage. It all comes back to biology.

So, fuck the sluts to your heart’s content, but please understand that you do not “love” them, and please for the love of God do not believe that there is such a thing as a “man-slut” or any sort of equivalency between the sexual behavior of men and women. A slut is to you as beta bucks is to a woman. She does not love her beta bucks. She might try to convince herself that she does because society tells her to, just as you might try to convince yourself that you love a slut because the New York Times tells you that slut shaming is discrimination, but neither of you do. The woman is using the beta bucks for his resources, and you are using the slut as a receptacle for your genetic material that requires minimal investment of resources.
