Morrissey, the former front-man of The Smiths has often dropped Red Pills about women --- and has been slammed as a "misogynist" for doing so.
Back in the 1980s, he wrote the song William, It Was Really Nothing, in which the singer tries to shake a simp out of ruining his life:
William, William it was really nothing
it was your life
How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say:
"Would you like to marry me
and if you like you can buy the ring"
she doesn't care about anything
Morrissey said of the song: "It occurred to me that within popular music if ever there were any records that discussed marriage they were always from the female's standpoint, female singers singing to women. There were never any songs saying 'do not marry, stay single, self-preservation,' etc. I thought it was about time there was a male voice speaking directly to another male saying that marriage was a waste of time"
In his autobiography of 2013, recalling his youth, he wrote:
"Night after night like an unowned dog I would tear through the park, a creature in human form, all perilous bolt inviting danger, the bike dancing controlled flips as I gulped jets of rain–more danger, more fun. In comparison, what had girls to offer? Nothing but a mangled jungle of tangled hair presented as the jackpot payoff. Honeypots sprawled like open graves, their owners doing nothing at all other than \letting you*. The call of duty is all yours–to turn on and get off; to hit the spot and know the ropes; to please and be pleased; as the owners of such Bermuda Triangles do... *nothing*.*"
In his first novel, also criticised for being "misogynist", he observed:
“Although the publicly confessed lust of the man must always be made to seem ridiculous and prepubescent, the lust of the woman is at first childlike and desperate — as if they know there is something about which they know nothing, and this itch takes on the aggressive ... Women are less of a mystery because their methods and bodies have been over-sold"
Much of the vitriol directed against him for these remarks is without doubt due to the fact that his observations about women are true.
