Yesterday’s post, Woman Up, has clearly resonated with this blog’s readers, It also attracted the interest of a new female commenter with something of an agenda to push. The exact nature of that agenda I have yet to fathom. No matter, new inductees into the ranks of the Manosphere are always a very good thing.
I am urging other Manosphere bloggers to further the Woman Up meme on their own blogs. Expand on the meme or simply point them to my post. It would be great if Woman Up becomes a common rebuttal – in blog/news comments or real life – to women writing or acting in a very unfeminine way. Someone has to push against the continuing trend of turning women into men and it might as well be us in the Manosphere.
Of course, this is not so simple as the Woman Up concept is not well understand yet. Just saying or writing those two words without additional context will likely yield confusion. I recommend that any person saying or writing those words provide that absolutely necessary context. For example, “Stop acting like a man, woman up!” or “stop acting like a spoiled princess, woman up!”, perhaps “Look at those sloppy clothes you’re wearing, you really need to woman up” You get the idea. Further suggestions should be put in the comments and I strongly encourage those suggestions.
Telling a woman to Woman Up is a confident thing for a man to do and establishes good hand and frame in a social situation. The verbal reaction might be shrill and unpleasant but as every Red Pill man knows, those are just words. If the woman in question walks away, so be it. She’s not worth the trouble. But if she stays to keep the conversation going (even if a bit testily), that’s quite telling and can be considered an indication of interest.

Just wanted to let you know that “woman-ing up” isn’t falling on deaf ears.
I’m not resisting this meme, I’m embracing it!

/ October 14, 2011I’ve never hesitated to tell real-life women to man up. I guess this will cover the other half of dealing with them.

/ October 21, 2011No, this is not a good idea. Saying it is fine if the girl has no confidence and is down on herself because it sounds as if you’re encouraging her to be confident and for her to have self-respect. You make it sounds as if you should say it to a girl to make her feel less confident about being an individual. It’s not important for a woman to be feminine. What on earth does it mean to ‘act like a man’? If you mean aggressive or bolshy, she is simply being herself not being ‘a man’. Guys are acting too – don’t forget that.
