I used to be a member of that sub, but I left it behind. IMO it was co-opted somehow, because they pushed cold approaching hard at the peak of MeToo. Basically asking for trouble.
I see your point, but I'm 99% sure that younger women have pushed this same narrative.
That's fair, it's been like 5-7 years since I actually read anything at all from /r/theredpill but there's certain claims "they" make that I view as fundamentally correct.
Younger women will push the hyper-sexualization angle but generally it's because they cannot use those tools, and so they seek to punish those who can. The reason why they cannot definitely will vary, but when trying to define an entire genders behavior the only brushes we have are broad ones. It makes complete sense for any woman who isn't at the pinnacle of physical attractiveness to try and stop others from out-competing her in that market by any means necessary.
I don't think this behavior is restricted to left wing women, and the political takes a back seat to the biological here. It definitely makes it easy on them when it all lines up though and they get to be "Empowered bold women offending right wing sensibilities" when younger, and when older, as Scarlett herself put it:
"I’ll be 35 years old and I’m a mom and my life is different. Obviously, 10 years have passed and things have happened and I have a much different, more evolved understanding of myself"
It just so happens that every woman has this same evolution around the age of 30 where she begins to think that perhaps swimming in a sea of cock and being a slut 24/7 isn't the most optimal behavior possible. These slut shaming behaviors from a woman over 30 is one of the dime a dozen theredpill prophecies you can see come to life every stinkin day.
