The Campbell’s Soup Company was founded in 1869. In those 147 years the company developed a reputation as a wholesome staple of brands to the point it’s been considered Americana – even Andy Warhol considered Campbell’s emblematic of the American experience.
But in the space of a 30 second commercial the Feminine Imperative and the feminist narrative has managed to corrupt, if not overtly destroy a brand identity that took 147 years to establish.
Last week I outlined how the imperative assimilated the Star Wars intellectual property and franchise; arguably another example of Americana. Monday I detailed how it is in women’s innate interests individually and in the Feminine Imperative’s interests on a meta scale to appropriate the works and fruits of men’s labors as a result of their Burden of Performance. And, once again, here we have another glaring example of the imperative’s appropriation of a storied brand identity to use as a vehicle for its narratives.
The gold of course is in the comments on the YouTube page. And as you might expect there’s a lot of predictable outrage swirling around how ‘not all women are like that‘ (NAWALT) and “wow, what a bitch.” The commercial message was even overt enough to trigger the average man to risk to consider, “flip the genders and look how this commercial reads.” But that’s just it, there is such a comfort with the Feminine Imperative in being this overt that even plugged in Blue Pill men cannot ignore the message.
What exactly is that message? In this case it’s the degree to which the imperative is comfortable in revealing truths about the nature of women. I’ve been calling attention to this comfort level for almost two years now. Open Hypergamy is almost a given at this stage. Open cuckoldry is beginning to establish a foothold in being socially acceptable, and later socially expected. In the coming years I believe we’ll begin to see an even larger degree of comfort the imperative has in revealing and reveling in innate feminine nature. This commercial, from a storied brand of comfort food no less, is the first illustration of this trend.
While this commercial and the hashtag associated are intended to shock, it’s important to understand the message that Campbell’s Soup Company is aligning itself with. Bear in mind that a board of executives, brand directors and marketing directs had to approve the message and budget needed to deliver this message. The fallback of course will be that the intent was humor, but they understand very well the latent message in the humor they will hide behind when the publicity backlash occurs.
No doubt the Jezebel set of the femosphere will either embrace the commercial’s message by parroting the trope that women hate to be men’s mothers, or they will decry it as portraying women as being heartless, careerist bitches – they just can’t win. In either interpretation the louder buzz will be as it always is, women being victims.
In a Red Pill perspective we see a lot of what we already know about women’s innate, visceral natures.
From Empathy:
Women cannot bear to see a Man experiencing negative emotions such as extreme anger, rage, fear, despair, despondency or depression for extended periods of time. You say you want to “be there” for your Man; but you cannot do it. If it goes on long enough, it kills the attraction; it sets off your hypergamy alarms; and subconsciously causes you to start hunting for a replacement Man.
A woman seeing a Male go through the above will seek to replace that Male immediately.
Women cannot listen to Men talking about or working out their dating/mating/relationship issues or problems. Women reflexively view a Man discussing such issues as “whining” or “complaining” or “bitterness” or “sour grapes” or “well, you just chose poorly, so sucks to be you” or “suck it up, no one wants to hear you bitching about it”.
As to both of the above principles; when a Male is involved, ratchet up by a factor of 5 the disdain and repulsion a woman experiences when seeing a Male do or experience the above.
I took a lot of shit from indignant women when I published Empathy. Yet here we have what was likely a half million dollar budget commercial graphically confirming exactly the premise of my post.
As a bonus this message also overtly confirms much of what I wrote in Vulnerability:
Vulnerability is not something to be brandished or proud of. While I do believe the insight and acknowledgement of your personal vulnerabilities is a necessary part of understanding oneself (particularly when it comes to unplugging oneself), it is not the source of attraction, and certainly not arousal, that most men believe it is for women.
From the comfort of the internet and polite company women will consider the ‘sounds-right’ appeal of male vulnerability with regard to what they’resupposed to be attracted to, but on an instinctual, subconscious level, women make a connection with the weakness that vulnerability represents.
A lot of men believe that trusting displays of vulnerability are mutually exclusive of displays of weakness, but what they ignore is that Hypergamy demands men that can shoulder the burden of performance. When a man openly broadcasts his vulnerableness he is, by definition, beginning from a position of weakness.
Yes ladies, I understand you’re not like this. I fully anticipate the “not in my experience” personalization each of you will attempt to adopt to placate any bad juju and your solipsistic mental point of origin. Just remember that this is the messaging your gender’s imperative is fostering. This is the message that Campbell’s Soup will stake its 147 year brand reputation on because it believes it will sell more soup.
It may seem that I’m being unduly critical of the narrative of this commercial, but remember that this narrative exists for a reason. I have no doubt women will chime in about how it’s an exaggeration, but what message is being exaggerated? What is the message that the medium is conveying here? For as much as the narrative would like men to be sensitive and open up about their feelings, for as much as it wants men to be vulnerable, all it takes is a 30 second commercial to confirm that men expressing weakness isn’t strength, and Hypergamy doesn’t care if your Mommy made you soup when you were sick as a child – stop expecting Strong Independent Women® to be your Mommy.
Keep in mind the contradicting message this commercial conveys here. This is the same degree of ruthlessness and insensitivity that the Feminine Imperative expects from, and finds attractive in, men.
@Scribbler
I have read your posts on this article. All I want to say to you is thank you so much for thinking of the young men who get brought into this world set up to fail. Beaten, abused, gimped, treated like human detritus.
That’s MY story. How do you deal with the bitterness? How do you deal with looking uphill?

You work hard on splitting and dividing men with your overstated alpha-gloryfying and your ruthless Beta-bashing.
Divide and conquer. Are you a FI-troll or simply an useful idiot?
Besides you have zero empathy.
@Rollo Tomassi I’m not the brightest wrench in the drawer and your use of the word ratchet sparked a lightbulb in my thoughts.Could hypergamy,disdain and empathy,levels be measured against societal comfort and fear levels,as a sphygmomanometer or barometer to measure the current threat levels to our lifestyles.Or are womens emotions to unreliable and swayed by to many factors to be measurable.
For example;Just push the excell button and pass this jerk already or get out there and catch a goat were low on milk.
This could be an old incandecent light.

The strength of emotion men are showing over the woman’s reaction to him is basically a mistake of expectations. We’ve been sold equality since we could understand words and bought into it. We’ve gone more than half way to meet accomodate women and let them into our team. The reaction we have to ‘I don’t care’ is what we would have to a male teammate letting us down, it strikes deep. They can’t sublimate themselves into the team as men do so we’re trying to mix oil and water. Women have accepted equality for its advantages but don’t fancy the… Read more »
Liz, I actually conflated the two inappropriately–my starting to really live and my father’s passing. I had actually been doing quite well firing on six of 8 cylinders up till then. I moved on to have the 7th cylinder fire up with red pill awareness and game, and the 8th cylinder came to life when I stopped drinking alcohol in excess. So I actually started really living in addition to and coincident with my father dying, not because of it. I’m actually a little different in this respect than most men.

“Divide and conquer. Are you a FI-troll or simply an useful idiot?”
Not figured it out myself yet. Not sure if his inconsistency is a smokescreen to keep us off balance, or a manifestation of mental illness. At any rate he’s definitely attempting to be disruptive rather than constructive, and so is best ignored.
My experience in my last relationship does mirror this commercial, Basically, these types of women will not do anything for you unless you’re really in the hole and they “fear” they will lose you. Reactive rather than proactive. I have a feeling also that when she gets sick, she will demand foot rubs and lots of Vicks. Not just from her man, but from her mommy. Again, this happened to me too. To be fair, I haven’t missed a day of work due to sickness in 12 years or so, but there are other stuff like going broke.
@Yollo – First let me restate again that I’m just another bozo on the bus so my “advice” can be total horseshit. Why do I emphasize this? Because if you have actual, serious psychological issues from abuse the first thing one needs to do is get THE RIGHT professional help and a diagnosis. I choose my words carefully when I say this – if you have a serious issue, you need to get professional help. The internet and the Red Pill will not cure you. And that’s where I’ll start: – Find a male therapist/clinical psychologist who understands abuse and… Read more »
Part Two @Yollo – Then there is the attitude and approach within the Red Pill world. It is very tempting to see the Red Pill as the solution to all your issues but there is a doublebind here for men who have serious issues. We cannot “alpha up” unless we deal with ourselves, but the approach of the Red Pill can encourage men to think that they are just being pussies for not being able to overcome their illness. We men who have the extra burden of psychological issues must be more gentle with ourselves. What I do is realize… Read more »
How to advertise to woman 101:
i) They like to believe that they live in a snarky empowered sit-com. Show them they do.
ii) They like to believe that men are inept, show them that too.
The only thing the advertisers forgot to finish hammering home the message, was the male not being able to heat soup without the woman present to hold his hand.

My favourite comment from Youtube: Ashley Letterman 1 day ago (edited) I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how this commercial is supposed to sell more soup (presumably the purpose for which it was made?).

I also wasn’t making any comment on whether your mom was right or wrong.
All I said was that your very obvious mommy issues explains a lot about YOU.
“Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, there when no one else is”. That’s the tag line. Not sure what to make of that. I think they think that the women viewers will like the snarky, dismissive wife. Because modern women never seem to tire of the ‘worthless husband’ theme, and they never tire of expressing just how much they don’t need anything from, or owe anything to, anyone…ever. For men, I don’t know. What? Is soup supposed to compensate for a frigid spouse? If she is ‘not there’ then why is she a spouse? If the wider message is that men have… Read more »

@SJF “Wild man’s “synergization” is just his take on egalitarian equalism with lipstick on it. It is sure way to kill polarity (the desire dynamic) between the sexes in a relationship. And complementarity is entirely a different concept. A man and woman should be complementary-aware of intersexual differences and drive sexual polarity (Masculine-Feminine) in a relationship.

I just get the feeling that that is not what Wild man was getting at.) ” I think you… Read more »

If she made the soup he should throw it at her because it would be the regular soup and not the healthy request.
Women crave empathy. Having/feeling/sharing/giving it……not so much. In the allocation it is two for her, none for you.
If the guy eventually got extremely ill, first she would martyr herself as a source for low hanging empathegranates. Then she would leverage the poor man to squeeze out the more difficult to source empatho-marrow. ,
@kfg – why do you think I was using a scornful tone?
I wonder what tv shows this commercial is aired during. If the show caters to a female market then maybe women are the target market. And maybe the ad is meant to induce some sort of cognitive dissonance in the target (women) so that they won’t identify with the shitty woman in the commercial, but with the can of soup. NAWALT will kick in for the viewer and makes her buy the soup to prove it. The can of soup being the solution to the problem. And the NAWALT-induced consumer wants to be PERCEIVED as being a part of the… Read more »
@Wild et al – I think that what you are talking about are aesthetics versus more rational, kinetic and material aspects of the human experience. I’ve recently observed that many times when I’m dealing with feminized men or women that aesthetics are THE THING that drives their consciousness and experience. It’s what captures their attention and holds it. It’s what activates their imagination and desire to “connect”. There is a huge problem with this kind of non-normative orientation though, and that is that it’s ethereal and superfluous. It comes and goes of its own accord and is not a sound… Read more »
@Wild Man:
Why didn’t you ask me what my definitions of “scornful” and “tone” are?
Or, if you think I am using the colloquial definitions, why do you take the quote as applying literally, rather than as using a well known quote from popular literature to make a point?
@Vector – Spot on, this is to appeal to women. And what I think you and some others here don’t realize is that women control the vast amount of spending on food, more than 80% of it. This ad says clearly they don’t care about what men think in any way at all. Somewhere upthread it was noted that Campbell’s female Cunt Executive Officer stated outright that this was a strategic messaging shift to appeal to millennials. What this is likely really about is that Campbells’ demographic is mostly older women, and this is designed to appeal to younger women.… Read more »

Sometimes if it doesn’t have apiece of wood attached just can’t run it.
If you want someone to emphasize with you, odds are-in todays world, you need a male friend. Women are so selfish and entitled-and have seen so little adversity- that they are a write-off. That’s my opinion. fwiw
The whole society has told them how.wonderful they are-since day one-without doing anything, that they are like the people in brave new world-horrified by ageing and sickness.
They have reduced themselves to vaginas. So be it.
@bob – Ding, ding, ding! “They have reduced themselves to vaginas. So be it.”
@scribblerg – yes I am talking about an aesthetic. For men, I think there is an aesthetic for the objective perspective as well, we judge it (objectivity) accordingly, within the aesthetic of the subjective perspective, and if two parties share in this subjective valuation of the shared objective perspective – this leads to feeling-synergization (one of the many routes to feeling-synergization). I think this is as natural for a man as it is for a woman (i.e – “subjective aesthetic as non-normative orientation” is not an accurate descriptor IMO). I think the paths to feeling-synergization are different for men and… Read more »

If any of you guys have a pressure cooker sitting around at home and want to make some soup for yourself when you are under the weather, or perhaps want to feed your woman, I would highly recommend Diane Phillips book “Easy Pressure Cooker Cookbook”.
It is simply fantastic in the soup chapter. Ham and bean, french onion, Manhattan clam chowder, good, bright fresh tasting:

@scribbler – thank-you for the feedback I agree with almost everything you say, yet not your conclusions about my meanings. Praxeology – yes precisely – I am using the term egalitarian as a way of relating. I have already well-defined why it is appropriate to use it that way (many posts ago). One small point of many is that western culture uses it that way. It is a principle that is embedded in our institutions as a praxeology for relating to others – within the rule of law for instance. Egalitarianism – how it is faring given the radically changed… Read more »
“I was, entirely metaphorically speaking, poking you with a pointy stick, not to mock you, but for your benefit.” Yep. Ref. my last two paragraphs @ 9:13. Poke with a pointy stick indeed. If you you can accept the poking, you can accept masculine self improvement energy from KFG. You want to get lucky Wild Man, or do you want to get better? You wanna be practical and get laid, or you wanna be metaphorical and rhapsodize? You wanna pay attention in class to what Rollo, TRM blog, and the commentariat is teaching, or do you want to blaze new… Read more »
@Wild – Hmmm, one wonders if this is worth it.
– Egalitarianism cannot be praxeology. It’s lake saying a bird is a fish. Egalitarianism is an ideology.
– Egalitarianism doesn’t exist already. It’s an illusion and an ideology. What we have are govt and social engineers building institutions and laws etc to force it but it’s failed utterly. It’s like trying to mandate away gravity, one can cry but it won’t work. Ever. Humans are not equal in the ways that people want. Abilities and aptitudes and outcomes will never be equal. That’s why I used the word “chimera”.
@Wild – I suggest you read E. O. Wilson’s The Social Conquest of Earth to see how actual human progress occurs. A very simple version of it is that humans form social groups that compete with each other. All growth of human civilization has come from group competition much as human evolution arises from selective pressures. Groups will never be “equal” to each other and we don’t want them to be so as this would halt all the progress of human civilization. You want “egalitarianism”? Go form an egalitarian group – a small one, not the entire West – and… Read more »
SJF, I understand that for a lot of people, a car symbolizes ” status “, but it’s something that I’ve never been able to fully wrap my head around. When an asshole buys a Porsche, he’s just an asshole with a Porsche. : ) Cars used to say things about the owner. Not since the 80’s though I guess. There’s a guy in my city who has a Lambo. It looks ridiculous diving down the ave. in choked traffic among the mini vans and Toyotas and Hondas. On top of that, it’s orange. I am not sure how to feeeeel… Read more »

Which of the several meadering wall-of-text posts was that?
They all kind of blur together.
“Egalitarianism – how it is faring given the radically changed cultural conditions – we agree it is faring terribly – why? – because it has become “deeply disconnected from the actions and motivations of those around us everyday” – yes, precisely – what to do about it? – throw it away as a “dangerous, self-destructive delusion”? – what then? What are you going to replace it with? “ Tell me you have actually watched The Matrix with Keanu Reaves. That you understand why he chose the red pill.

A guy at my job recently bought a 1972 Jaguar XKE V12. He was telling me he paid 60,000 for it.
Then he asked me for my opinion, after asking me if I knew what I was looking at ( ! ).
One of my favorite films is Gumball Rally. Here the rally departs NYC. Look for the red Jaguar…but don’t blink.
@scribblerg – I think you have it slightly wrong – all growth of human civilization has come from in-group collaboration and competition and out-group competition much as human evolution arises from selective pressures, some of which have forced cooperation, especially during bottleneck periods in human evolution, probably occurring during times of severe survival selection pressures. I would be very surprised if E. O. Wilson didn’t say as much but I’ll look at his works again. If you are willing to categorize redpill as praxeology I see no reason to categorize the egalitarian any differently. Two sides of the same coin.… Read more »

Come on Blaximus, I was talking about men and the importance of gaming men in a social setting and I used the example of how, the Lambo ” It looks ridiculous diving down the ave.” but nonetheless my guy J with understated game rolled with it. But you started to talk about yourself and cars. (See how that works? I just shit tested you with my bluntness. Sorry.) If I were a HB8, and you just met me in a bar or at a get-together, you being a natural, would talk about what I just elicited values about. Or would… Read more »
Rollo, thanks for posting this. I don’t boycott brands often but I shall be adding Campbell’s to the list. That commercial was sickening. “I called my mom, who grew up on an extended family farm during the Great Depression and rationing shortages of WWII. She said, ‘Dump the ungrateful bitch.” @kfg I LOLed. “On the contrary, guys like Rollo and Dalrock have disabused many of us of exactly those things. Not every man has to learn the hard way- some of us have the wisdom to learn from the experiences of others.” @donal Preach. Knowledge is a double edged sword… Read more »

@@@Wildman “If you are willing to categorize redpill as praxeology I see no reason to categorize the egalitarian any differently. Two sides of the same coin. It takes both to do justice to the scope of humankind.” YGBSM. “The Egalitarian” is code for feminist B.S. It is an ideology. Never been proven to work. Do you have proof otherwise. Marxism, ideology, never worked. Praxeologies are practical strategies that have been shown to work. You are promoting ideological themes, not anything remotely resembling practicality. What? Show me the pussy. Ok, maybe I’m being belligerent now. But it is for a good… Read more »

@Wild – Yeah, I’m done. I said I presented a very simple version of what Wilson had to say about all this, yet your supposed slight correction of what I said is nothing of the sort. With respect to what I said, your comment is what’s known as “a distinction without a difference.” You telegraph with your comment that you don’t understand the implications of The Social Conquest of Earth at all, actually. But since you are so obdurate, I’ll school you just one more time The mindblowing aspect is that “in group” operations have many benefits for a society.… Read more »
@SJF – I shit you not mister! The femcunts (and all the others) have hijacked a perfectly good word, to spin their BS – that’s what the femcunts (and their brothas) always do. Fuck if they think they have the right to go Orwellian on this cornerstone of the western cultural tradition. We gotta draw the line somewhere. This is the place. Don’t swallow their bullshit on this. The egalitarian is a people sorting strategy – and requires the culling (in one way of the other) of those that can’t or won’t abide. That is what we have been doing… Read more »

“Obtaining willing pussy is always going to be about building attraction, redpill style. I have no disagreements at all with that.” I apologize, but I have a Spidey sense that your definition of “redpill style” may be skewed regarding egali-whatever-you-call-it-equal-tarianism. Your alleged esoteric definition of the last hyphed word I tried to say, matters. It really matters. And I am going to beat you over the head with it if you think you are making a new paradigm.

” The egalitarian is a people sorting strategy – and requires the culling (in one way of the other) of those that can’t or won’t abide.”
And if the people won’t abide, the cullings will continue until we have a new people.
What a Great Leap Forward such a Cultural Revolution would be!
@Rollo Tomassi You should check out the recent Sherlock Holmes episode. It shows a woman dressed up as a bearded man, working as a forensic pathologist. Watson proceeds to mock her that she’s working in a “man’s world”. Now they’re trying to sell the lie that women were pretending to be men in highly skilled labour? Just plain ridiculous.
@scribblerg
Alpha Widowed. Almost certainly. She’s punishing Billy Beta for what Alan Alpha did to her.
And for the record, she’ll never be anything other than a hot piece of ass so long as she’s got an attitude like hers towards men. But she’ll just call them bitter, commitment-phobic, and any number of the other ready-made social tropes waiting to comfort her.
SJF, you know when you have arrived for it matters not if the face in front of yours is male or female, you just bring that person into your frame. Either by investing in their fairy tales or getting them to invest in yours.
I have not read E.O. Wilson. The 20th century argument to competing groups is WWI and WWII. USA was designed to be superior to European factionalism. Just like Rome dispensed with Greek philosophy and got on with the business of running an empire. We’re at the end of history. Democratic capitalism from here on out. 95% of the same stuff is supported by the leaders of both the left and the right. I do understand how it was inevitable that we got here while I also understand that it’s inevitable that it can’t last. Rome was undone by bickering at… Read more »

@Vektor.
“Women never seem to tire of the ‘worthless husband’ theme.” And they will never feel like they owe anyone anything.
On point there. One line of thinking in the manosphere that never seems to come up is how dull and predictable and repetitive all this shit is. For how many decades have women been running the same storylines. It’s very boring in addition to the other things wrong. BORING>
Yet somehow I get this nagging feeling that the woman on that soup commercial is right. She is a good woman, or rather she is good at being a woman. The guy is holding a remote, watching TV. Most men sick enough to just lie there do not have any appetite for TV or remotes. They are lying in bed because they have something bad. They probably have an IV line in both arms, may be one or two more in the legs (or neck). And they may have a tube stuck in their nose, or mouth, or some other… Read more »
