"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. 3, record 1, English, - red%20pill%20ideology
