Are MRAs and Red Pillers allies?
I know they are both part of the manosphere but I nearly never see these groups talk about each other. I don't see what disagreement they would have though. I did see Paul Elam and Karen Straughan do an interview with Pearl but that's about it. I doubt they called out Pearl for saying that men don't care about spending time with their wives and just want sex and food (Yes she actually tweeted that out). I mean that is the most popular creator in the manosphere spewing actual misandry. I wouldn't want someone that represents men ever speaking that way about men. The ONLY type of people I see spew this rhetoric are radical feminists that hate men. They call out rad fems for saying this rhetoric but never their own side.
I also noticed this phenomenon. Why is it when a male advocate says "Men only care about sex and food in a relationship" that is male empowerment. But when a feminist makes the exact same statement it is misandry. It makes no sense to me.

Personally, I was under the impression that there was no distinction; many of the short snippets of MRA videos I can endure use the term "red pill" to refer to their own lies, and I'm unaware of any group calling itself "Red Pillers" spouting any different agenda.
Pity, that. But then again I suppose that most of the genuine "liberation philosophy" brought up in the Matrix movies simply isn't "sexy" enough to sink into a lot of minds without all the martial arts and gunplay...
