A Tale of Two Nursing Home Patients
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
To avoid the NAWALTs, Unicorns, pixie dust, and fairy farts in your replies let me acknowledge right away that yes, there are women who stand by their man to the end, but I am suggesting it is a much smaller number than the men who spend their final days carting their women around while ignoring their own medical problems.
In my recent past I have seen my father in-law and now my mother placed into a nursing home for dementia and severe, maladaptive delusions. The contrast between how they were treated by their spouse has been forever and indelibly etched into my soul. Perhaps it is confirmation bias, but I don’t think so. I think the horrors I have observed are extremely common and almost completely unacknowledged.
First my father in law. This is one of those perfect possible examples of a woman forcing her husband’s hand so that he will “kill the puppy.” This is an MRP term meaning to kill the relationship which women often refuse to do- instead they become intolerable harpies in an attempt to force the man to do it and take the blame for it.
The thing is, just a couple years before the shit hit the fan, she had written a long, sickening love letter to her son (about her husband). She went on and one about how she loved her husband so much and they had been through so much together and detailing her deep, passionate love in extremely inappropriate terms for a letter to your son but I digress. Nobody told the hapless husband that she loved him beyond doubt- RIGHT NOW and then when it became inconvenient to her she didn’t. Never forget to preface ANYTHING a woman says with “Right now I feel like.” As in: “Right now I feel like I love you.” Or, “right now I feel a deep passion for you.”
My Father In law was always a quirky bird with a violent temper and later in life he began to have delusions. They started with him insisting that his son was taking his tools and hiding them. His wife never tolerated it and viciously fought him about it, protecting her son at every opportunity from any and all accusations and attacking and mocking her husband continually about it. Eventually one year she ruined Christmas by destroying the tree and all the presents. The next day she attacked her husband, leaving horrible scratches and dumping water on his head. He punched her in the face and left her with a small black eye. We saw it before she called the police and it was just a little bitty thing. The next day in court at the Arraignment on Domestic Violence for her husband of 34 years, she appeared in the gallery with a gigantic black eye. I believe (in fact I am almost certain) that she repeatedly punched herself in the eye to make it much worse than it was. Total bullshit.
Long story short, she hired the Ball Stomping Women Lawyers Association and took the house and everything he had accumulated in his life. Then she threw him out. Within a year of the divorce his delusions had become worse and shortly he was placed in a mental institution, and then a nursing home paid for entirely by his remaining estate. He died last year- alone.
Did you catch that guys? Wow! She dodged a bullet there. Got out just in time dontyaknow. What a coincidence! You go girl! I know for a fact all her friends told her exactly that. You go girl. You don’t need no man.
The second story is my own mother and father. My mother is a BPD mess who made it her mission in life to make my father’s life miserable. Granted he is a typical, clueless, Bluepill sperg who had no idea how to deal with her emotions. She took every advantage and put all her energy over an entire lifetime towards the singular task of criticizing and nitpicking my father. In the past few years she has declined due to dementia and delusions. She continually demands to be taken to see her mother (who has been dead for 30 years) and her brothers (who have been dead for 20). She continually demands that my father “take her home” even when she is home. She has attacked my father repeatedly and injured him (a 78 year old man with diabetes and cancer) repeatedly. Not long ago I called the police on my own mother after I heard her hit him while he was on the phone with me. Nothing was done. Nothing was ever done. Nobody cared. He is a man.
Long story short. He is finally placing her in the best nursing home in the area although it is going to take his entire monthly income to do so. Yesterday we had dinner with them and she constantly complained, nitpicked, and criticized my father. Nothing new but I watched their interactions with more disgust than ever. He continually reassured her. Called her honey. Helped her stand. Helped her walk to the car. She continually shit on him. Every word was criticism and complaining and demanding. She demanded self-righteously and knowing that SHE was right about everything that he take her to see her mother. He didn’t argue but deflected and ignored and did everything he could to reassure her. He tried to hold her hand and she violently shook it away, sharply telling him keep your hands to yourself.
Fuck that shit up the ass!
I no longer see “Oneitis” in glowing, romantic terms. It is a horrifying disease that infects men that needs to be eliminated from the planet. It is a social control mechanism they have used to capture the body and soul of men, but despite what we are told it rarely infects women. What this means is everything we talk about on The Red Pill but it also means that in your old age, as a man, it is much more likely that you will be destroyed, and then abandoned at the precise time of your greatest need. Meanwhile as a woman- as it has been for her entire life- it is much more likely that some man will be there at the time of your greatest need to make sure everything goes just fine for you.
If this is what patriarchy looks like I am not interested any more.

ddiogenesofsinope 7y ago
Sooo true.
A brutal and true reality for men. Its just so much more likely that when at your lowest point, they strike.
Mine and others personal experiences can attest to this. They go for you where and when you are weakest. Its like its instinctive.
Its what makes men so great. The struggle is what makes us.
Great post man.
redpillcad 7y ago
Most folks are scared to death of the idea that they may die alone. As if a lifetime of slavery and putting others needs first and never accomplishing anything one wanted to really do is worth it so the room can be crowded when one passes.
Maybe I'll die alone in a home due to some fluid in my lungs but I studied what interested me, have a successful career in my chosen field, fucked alot of hot bitches, am ripped to shreds and am raising powerful kids to conquer the world and do whatever they want.
I hope I dont die tonight but if I did I have no regrets

His last line is the most important one of that reply. Many great men would still act as they were acting, even when faced with death, because they were fulfilled by the value they were creating and choices they were making. You don't want to wait for your dying self to make this judgement. There is great liberty in assessing now. Keep walking the path.

It's horror stories like these that numb any sympathy you can have for a woman.
scissor_me_timbers00 7y ago
What’s so ironic is how culturally enforced patriarchy is actually more conducive to compassion for women. Men have a natural empathy/sympathy for women. They could safely express this when women were socially second to men. Now when they are “equal”, women read that behavior as weakness and punish it unconsciously. More and more men realize this and start treating women callously and disposably.
Fyrjefe 7y ago
The problem is that we don't really understand dementia, so I take the last story with a grain of salt. The woman probably lived in some complicated hell where she was simultaneously a teen and an old woman. It was probably impossible for her brain to create new neural pathways to make sense of this situation and she lived in constant stress. Similar can be said about the man. The first story is unacceptable. There are many people morally at fault. I blame the system and the actors therein. Also the stigma against people with disorders. Finally, how the laws are favoured in giving women more "equality" than men. It's not merely women who are at fault, but the social breakdown as a whole. You can be a part of building a better one if you participate in politics and whatnot. Petition for better laws. It's a problem with many facets and requires many hands to tackle. Be well.
the-dan-man 7y ago
And therein you should be careful, for if reading stories on the internet makes you resentful towards women, you are in big trouble. Women are to be undertood, and many are worth your sympathy, time and attention. Do not let the bad stories of this mass information age distract you from the many good things that women can bring to your life.
illusiveab 7y ago
Women are a luxury who rarely offer the greatest and most proactive man an answer to anything. The life partner is as much an illusion as anything you create between you two. In return for your resources, you often receive her value, time, or looks, but rarely much else.
Hyper_Sonik 7y ago
Totally agree. I think what you said is the biggest hurdle to get.over. That part where you surrender to the nature of women and work with it instead of against it.

my dad got old and sick and my mother suddenly lost all mothering skills, no bathing, no changing clothes, no watching poor old dad.
JayTeeDC 7y ago
My mother lost all of her mothering skills when she married my step-dad. Left my dad in the dust like a sucker and created a conspiracy against my father to my sister and I so we'd hate him. We were 9&10 y.o, as impressionable as you could get. She eventually kicked us both out, kicked me out at 16y.o. after my step-dad gouged my eyes out with his thumbs and choked me into unconsciousness. I went on to getting a doctorate and she still disqualifies me as a son. Mother has never been the same since she met him.
Egoful 7y ago
You know what.. you really don't know how dementia works and how people with it behave or you wouldn't have wrote that stuff in the first scenario. Honestly, I can completely understand the woman's POV because it's a pretty natural response.
With dementia, your mind starts to become literally childlike in attitude. You forget who's who, and although you can recognize familiar faces you see in your daily life (eg, people you are living with), chances are that you don't know their relation to you at all. Family? Friend? Spouse? No clue. Sometimes if someone you were talking to just a few seconds ago goes out of your field of vision to get a glass of water, you might believe that they just walked away from you for good. Like they don't exist if they are not in your direct field of vision, even if you hear their voices calling out at you.
Second, you begin to think that anything (bad) that happens to you is a result of someone else, and you think of the worst case scenario. After brushing, you misplace your teeth from the usual place? Your automatic thought is someone stole it. You're yelling that you're looking for something, and people don't respond within a few seconds? They're ignoring you. So you keep yelling and yelling until someone comes and asks you in an aggrevated tone what the matter is. Then you'll hear that tone and think that you're the victim. Why are they taking that tone with me?? :( etc.
Your mind can become unable to tell approximate time - so that you think it's night even though the sunlight is bright and coming in through the windows. And when it's nighttime, you can think it's morning and refuse to go to sleep, or eat dinner because why eat dinner in the morning? You can get extremely stubborn even if you were the most understanding man when you were sane. You can get delusions. And so you keep your spouse awake at night and bother people living with you so that they can't get a good night's sleep because you hear kids playing the flute loudly in the next room.
This is just the basics. I can recite all these examples because I vividly remember them from when I lived with my grandma when I was younger. Point is, when you live with a person like this for day after day, MONTH after MONTH, year after year.. you can make damn sure that it will take a toll on your psyche. Now add to this mix a "quirky bird" with a violent temper. Jesus Christ.
Heh. Sure, tell him. Then have fun while he's annoyed at you for lying to him. Or for saying this kind of stuff as a stranger. Hell, he might even believe you.. for like 5 minutes and then forget these words were even spoken.
[deleted] 7y ago
Yes, very accurate. As a teenager, I took care of my grandma as she died of dementia, no one else could/would do it. IMO BPP dad is doing the best he can in that situation, his blue pill past is not relevant.
BluepillProfessor 7y ago
Dementia has many faces. A childlike affect is certainly the most common. Less common are the delusions that accompany dementia and when there is underlying behavioral and personality disorders then predicting how it will present is like taking a 52 card deck and throwing it in the air. Good luck with that. My father in law was almost assuredly antisocial
Was there a point to the rest of your diatraibe?
Red Pill truths are now lies. Interesting. Tell me more.
[deleted] 7y ago
Cue the 2 minutes hate. Most men die before their wives do. The reasons are myriad. First men usually marry younger women. Second men tend to have more stressful lives. Third men don’t want to be taken care of. If I’m ever reduced to having my wife bathe me, dress me, drive me to physician appointments, etc. I’ll be putting a bullet in my brain, or if I haven’t the strength to do that it’ll be a morphine overdose, or I’ll just refuse treatment and expire. Men don’t want to be burdens on their families.
Most women are less reticent about becoming a burden as many are accustomed to being taken care of. But this happens less. There are far more widows than widowers.
finclover9 7y ago
Good rant and I can see where you come from. However let's put the stories into perspective:
1) Woman lives with a man who has delusions (aka doesn't perceive reality the way normal folks do), she gets physically injured by him and decides to divorce. That's a pretty legit reason to divorce imo. Sure she could be a saint and stay by his side, but she can hardly be blamed to want to peace out. Wouldn't you do the same?
2) Old demented patient doesn't appreciate her husband's dedication and care. That's a story so common in elderly homes that it's almost a stereotype if you work in the medical field. That's just how demented patients are.
Not saying that society doesn't treat both sexes differently, it sure does. It's just that not everything is explained by gender dynamics. Sometimes a horse is just a horse ;)
kez88 7y ago
This is still 100% confirmation bias and one single story. AWALT, there are no unicorns. Women absolutely can leave their husband if things go bad. But if the husband keeps his shit together they can also be very loyal and helping. I saw both my grandfathers treated extremely well by their wives. It just depends on the dude. Women acting shitty is a symptom of what kind of man you are (usually), not the cause.

End up in a good financial position in your old age and you can just pay a live in nurse. Hire well and you'll always have someone to take care of you.
Money is the true language of the human race; not love.
Seven_Veils 7y ago
Can this nurse provide, uhm, other services as well?
nofapZero 7y ago
If you need a live in nurse; you probably can't do the other thing so no services needed -- and at that age if you've got the cash just sugar daddy if you need to.
You must not be old and poor. You must avoid that outcome at all costs.
Nevek_Green 7y ago
Simply what does anyone expect when you raise women to believe they are special for existing, never expect them to have to fend for themselves, and cater to their every whim? That they will somehow appreciate the sacrifices made for them? Simply not going to happen, we’re raising women like spoiled aristocrats then acting surprised when they behave as such as if it is some great mystery as to why.
Simple matter is people are self oriented and we’ve somehow deluded ourselves into believing otherwise. Sure we can act selfless, but if this act benefits our character then it is hardly 100% selfless, but is still praised as such by society for its benefit. Men were raised and taught to sacrifice for society and in exchange they were the king of their castle and were respected. You paid something, you got something.
Now that’s gone and governments are starting to panic as they continue to cater to the spoiled narcissists who mind you don’t pay net taxes. Asia’s solution is to take away men’s hobbies, and the West’s solution is to flood their nations with more simps. Asia has never heard of bread and circuses and don’t know what fire they’re playing with, and we all know how well the West’s plan has worked out. Even if functional the economic disparity caused by the immigration will bankrupt the west within a few decades.
Who cares though? The social contract is dead, men get nothing from society and soon we’re going to be called upon to save it. Nah let it burn, let it all burn. "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" - African proverb

“A civilization is measured by how it treats its weakest members”
rebelde_sin_causa 7y ago
which historical civilization is measured that way
Rian_Stone 7y ago
Pretend the men and women in this report are civilizations.
Were doing metaphors n other "high IQ" shit here man, you should love a little navel gazing
scissor_me_timbers00 7y ago
Yeah this is horse shit. It’s almost the exact opposite of reality. Great civilizations are actually measured by the peaks they reach— peaks of science, art, military prowess, etc.
They may or may not also have beneficial programs for the weakest members, but that’s definitely not how they are generally measured.

Rian_Stone 7y ago
Put it in the context of how men/women treat their partners when they are terrible people, and it will make more sense.
Or we can continue to talk about which egyptian dynasty was more alpha. I think it's far enough removed from reality that you can navel gaze about it while keeping it as far as possible from practical application.

shitty women are protected by their men
shitty men are abandonned by their women
In this case, clearly acting like a woman is a good thing

Lol no. Everyone knows how Egypt treated their slaves. Bible for example.
Also, that quote is in the context of the 21st century.
Blackhawk2479 7y ago
Yes because the bible is well known for its historical accuracy.
Lambdal7 7y ago
The bible isn't the only evidence that therr was slavery in Egypt. There's mountains of evidence.

Show me a scrap of history that is contradicted by scripture. If you don't count the flood, every single person and event described in Scripture is strangely accurate.

1.) No evidence from Egyptian sources that Jews were ever in Egypt.
2.) Roman census never required people to return to the town of their birth. That would have resulted in economic upheaval. "Roman censuses counted just the head of household IN their household- they were for tax purposes, so they cared where you lived, not where you came from."
"Matthew states that Jesus was born under the reign of Herod the Great, who died in 4BCE. Luke claims it was during the census of Israel conducted when Quirinius was governor of Syria- a post he did not take until 6CE, 10 YEARS after Herod the Great died. So both Matthew and Luke contradict themselves- the census literally could not have occurred at the same time as Herod was alive, yet both describe them as simultaneous. "
etc.
destraht 7y ago
Some people wrote some stories and created the revisionist Hollywood of their times. The same abnormal preoccupation with managing perception while proclaiming innocent victimhood. Assuming that the story is even based on reality are we to assume this was the one time in history when people actually wanted to have Jews hanging around as opposed to all of the other times in which they were expelled? Ok, so Jews make good slaves? They work with their hands? They do stuff? Skimming the currencies and managing perception has always been their shtick, even for the people whom later adopted that culture as their own but bear virtually no genetic similarity to Semites, Hebrews or any of those original people.
[edit] I live for the cascade of downvotes across a few pages of my comment history every time that I write about the Chosenites. Its one of my sinful pleasures. Ten years ago they used to hit many posts super hard into the deep negative but now they just try to zero them out.

scissor_me_timbers00 7y ago
Actually in a real patriarchy (prior to 20th century) where the woman understands herself as explicitly subservient to the man, this behavior is lessened. In a soft patriarchy (during 20th century), this behavior is more common.
Now we are just in no man’s land. And everything will continue to unravel. I think it could get very very ugly by 2030 or 2040.

There are many biological urges that become misguided and eventually counterproductive for the individual...look at lemmings.
Love is something we can all feel because all the chemical machinery is there in our brains, ready to turn on and hypnotise us into thinking something is better than it is.
Perhaps it's really true; love for men is like that urge for lemmings - something no longer useful.
Women appear to have already partially discarded it; they can turn it off and on at will (they do this by tricks like re-imagining the past so that you never deserved them; suddenly their love evaporates overnight. They are actively manipulating their minds to turn love on /off; so they can be ready to switch partners within days if a better deal comes along, even though they "loved" you a week ago.)
Love for men is a biological relict. Women have already discarded it to some extent (Some women completely; indeed they seem like sexual psychopaths) and they're using that to gain advantage over men.

my family was strangly similar, my grandmother, from what i heard from my father, was real bitch, head of family, raised my mother and her sister to obey her orders, which made my mother somehow handicaped in relation-emotion section, which has a part in my and my sisters life. my father told me, she made my mother got pregnant and then get divorced, she told her that after that, she since she was retired already, she will help her take care of me, she didnt help her once. but hey, there is funny part, she got alzheimer and acted exacly like ur mother, so she not only didnt help rise me, she forced whole fuckin family to take care of her, my mother, sister, aunt and her family. and i never heard a one single bad word about her from them, only from my father who cut all contact with them. life is funny
