"Swallowing the redpill" refers to a man waking up to the real world, where women are better off than men, female oppression is a myth, and women actually desire traditional gender roles. If a man is aware of these "truths" of redpill ideology, he can manipulate women to his advantage and access sex and power. The term "redpill" is not exclusive to incels and is used by other parts of the manosphere, as well as the far-right and violent far-right.

OBS

redpill: Something that causes someone to become aware of or recognize the truth or facts ...

Systemic oppression is systematic and has historical antecedents; it is the intentional disadvantaging of groups of people based on their identity while advantaging members of the dominant group(gender, race, class, sexual orientation, language, etc.). Systemic oppression manifests in economic, social, political and cultural systems.

  • Sociologie
CONT

On parle d'oppression systémique quand un système politique et socioéconomique produit et renforce des inégalités et des discriminations pour une partie de la population. [Il s'agit d'une] oppression fondée sur les privilèges d'un groupe dominant dont les membres partagent une caractéristique considérée comme la norme, comme supérieure. En conséquence, ceux et celles qui ne possèdent pas cette caractéristique ou n'adhèrent pas à cette norme vivent un nombre d'injustices si bien ancrées dans les habitudes qu'elles ne sont pas identifiées comme telles.

The Empowerment Approach. Empowerment is the most recent approach, articulated by Third World women. Its purpose is to empower women through greater self-reliance. Women's subordination is seen not only as the problem of men but also of colonial and neo-colonial oppression. It recognizes women's triple role, and seeks to meet strategic gender needs indirectly through bottom-up mobilization around practical gender needs... It is unpopular except with Third World women's NGOs and their supporters.
