Not downvoting, but I'll comment on a few assertions: > the world is gynocentric Strange claim. How would anyone objectively refute that? How would you realistically prove it? It sounds along the lines of "everyone does everything to be remembered" or "your fate is written in the stars - you just can't read it." > Stoicism, is red pill philosophy That sounds like "Christianity is a Brazilian religion." It's true that some red pillers claim to be into it, but it's not an informative or precise way to frame it. Especially since women can be and are stoics too. (In fact, given their status in many countries I'd bet there are more "true Scotsman" stoic women than men!) > "now opposite sex which is used to receiving nice things from me" As long as you aren't introducing harm into their lives or refusing to view them as people that experience harm (both of which I'm assuming to be true) - I'm betting the vast majority of women would be totally fine with your stoicism. (And would prefer it to a lot of the alternatives.) > You can use this philosophy to shield you from anything and everything I think I get what you're going for, but to be clear for others - stoicism isn't about sticking your head in the sand. You can endure something and change it at the same time, it's about how you bear the thing before you've changed it and how you handle it when you don't succeed in changing things. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor! Not a "sidelines" kinda dude ya know? At the end of the day though, if you're getting something out stoicism that has improved your life then you have every right to claim and embrace that. It's not like Seneca's running around suing people for defamation and it's not like I've ever met the guy to really know what was in his head...
