    Do women still need men to support them financially? Most women are independent financially. Yet most attractive women continue to demand that men be capable of financially supporting them. Equality has wrought unexpected changes. Men are sexless and alone. Many are turning away from marriage and long-term commitments. Women are demanding six-figure incomes, home ownership, and disposable income. At the same time, women seem uninterested in intimacy and more interested in other things. Women and men are looking for different things. Why is this and what must change to bring love and romance back into relationships.

    Is Monogamy our goal or is it the product of dating nonexclusively?  “The feminine imperative pounds into men's collective consciousness over the course of a lifetime that monogamy will cure loneliness, make them responsible, provide them with a constant supply of sex, and a host of other things that assure them it's “the right thing to do” and that it's in their best interest.” Rollo Tomassi, The Rational Male This month we will discuss the section on monogamy as a goal rather than a byproduct of dating nonexclusively. Join our discussion of the role of monogamy in the modern world. Women are welcome to attend. Please register at https://tinyurl.com/RedPillMen We are reviewing the Plate Theory sections of Chapter 2 of Rollo Tomassi's book, "The Rational Male."

    Men are dying. They are killing themselves with drugs and alcohol and committing suicide at far higher rates than women. They are often the perpetrators of violence. Mass shooters are mostly young men. They are turning to authoritarianism and make up a large portion of far-right extremists and MAGA activists. What's wrong with men? New studies show that implicit bias is strongest against men. Men are more the subjects of implicit bias than people of color or the poor. Men have become the public enemy number one in our culture. They are viewed as dogs and trash, among many other things. The saying, "Women need a man like a fish needs a bicycle" has become popular among Women who no longer need financial support from men. Studies show that women are happier being single and no longer want to love and take care of a man. All of this has a profound effect on men. Pining for the past when they had more authority, Men are turning to drugs, alcohol, suicide, and authoritarianism. June 11, 2023, at 2 pm, Richard Procida, an early pro-feminist activist, the author of "Social Issues in Global Perspective: Pornography," and the leader of the Truth and Democracy Coalition will lead a discussion about "What's Wrong with Men and What to do about it."

Dr. Dowd is licensed by the National Philosophical Counseling Association (NPCA) as a philosophical consultant. A philosophical consultant is basically a therapist who uses philosophical reasoning to address emotional problems. He is trained in "Logic-Based Therapy" or "LBT." In this presentation, He will explain LBT and how you can use it in your own life without needing to visit a philosophical consultant. LBT is especially useful for people interested in politics. It helps to defuse anger, defensiveness, and other emotions that can cause political dialogue to degenerate into a shouting match. With his focus on Asian philosophy, Dr. Dowd is concerned that many left-wing intellectuals have turned against the self-help and wellness industries. "Left-wing intellectuals make good points when they criticize the self-help and wellness industries," he says. "However, by abandoning self-help and wellness, the left creates a void that's being filled by right-wing intellectuals" and people like Jordan Peterson.

    On Sunday, May 21, 2023, we welcomed Harvard-educated, American moral philosopher, cultural commentator, and essayist Susan Neiman. Dr. Neiman has written extensively on the juncture between Enlightenment moral philosophy, metaphysics, and politics, both for scholarly audiences and the general public. She is a lifelong leftist and socialist, and an unlikely critic of "woke-ism." She argues the tenets of the woke have become antithetical to the traditional values of the left. She currently lives in Germany, where she is the Director of the Einstein Forum in Potsdam. Neiman writes in her new book, Left Is Not Woke: "I am unwilling to cede the word 'left' or accept the binary suggestion that those who aren't woke must be reactionary. A left-wing critique of those who seem to share the same values might seem to be an instance of narcissism. But it's not small differences that separate me from those who are woke." She adds that the discourse around "woke-ism" is confusing. It evokes emotions that all progressive people share, such as empathy for those who are marginalized and indignation for the oppressed, but those emotions are "derailed by a range of theoretical assumptions that ultimately undermine them." https://Youtube.com/@TruthandDemocracyCoalition https://Tinyurl.com/RedPillMen https://Tinyurl.com/Jan6th2024 https://Tinyurl.com/PoliticalTherapy
