People don’t understand that if you don’t teach the unwritten rules people (especially those of us on the spectrum) are going to learn them the hard way. The more of a struggle learning something the more you retain and obsess over it. If someone had gently told me status was the most important thing verbally instead of having me find out the hard way by being treated like crap for being low status, I would have been grateful. I also wouldn’t be so obsessed with status or resentful of not having it.

Men perpetually lied to are easy pickings for the Redpill, MGTOW, and Incel culture. The right is drawing in men because they posit a narrative that matches men’s existence just like the left is drawing in women because they also posit a narrative that matches women’s existence.
