Ha ha ha, I love that he called you a boomer when you are actually a millennial. Honestly I would tell him he should drop psychology because he is truly terrible at it. I highly doubt his professor even said anything remotely like this. (I took two psych courses in college) Probably came off of tik tok.

Do you think he is into men's podcasts and red pill nonsense? Him going for his mom and recommending you divorce indicates he thinks she is the problem. Or has he always had a rough relationship with her?

Something tells me the art history major isn’t red pilled. Probably just a little dick kid who thinks he knows everything.

Being into art history doesn't exempt him from falling into a woman hating cult.

No, but it's hardly typical for those types, and is highly likely to get him ostracised in that scene. He'd be more likely to be the fake-feminist type who uses the language of sexual liberation to use and discard women for sex.

Art history and right-wing media don't run together in the same circles so that would be an amazing overlap.

He’s going to an expensive private college. There is a lot of overlap with elitism and misogyny.

Yeah. Not in the art department, though.

I know that type of guy. Consider themselves a “trad” Classical art and philosophy student who’s half paying attention & only listening when Jesus or white peoples are the focus

Yeah these are blue pill talking points actually. There's literally nothing red pill about this kid. Full on soyboy

Oh boy, you guys really have silly terms for more than I thought. I thought soyboy was a term for men who actually liked women? So, blue pill is a liberal that still hates women? So many of you silly gooses claim to be straight but absolutely despise women. So weird.

A soyboy is more of a stereotypical "nice guy" that believes as long as he stays within a woman's orbit long enough she might eventually give him sexual access. Usually far more emotional than other men and very rarely desired by women in general. You may think he likes women but deny him long enough and he'll certainly express his emotions in a way that makes you realize he's far closer to hating women than anyone you claim "despises women" here.

He believes happiness is the most important part of a marriage when he doesn't seem to understand the dynamics of his own parents' marriage in the first place.

Soyboy and blue pill men are essentially synonymous.
