So true. I have an acquaintance who once gave me an hour-long dissertation on how humble he was, despite his many great accomplishments, which of course he accomplished all on his own. In his telling he was the most humble person on the planet. He complained about the fact that such a humble person as himself had always had to work for self-important assholes. Apparently, every boss he ever had fit that description. He told me that in spite of this, he achieved great things throughout his career, which he described to me in great detail. Through it all, he remained incredibly humble.
Very nice. I recently wrote about Rev. John Witherspoon's speech on magnanimity and how it is not anti-christian. One does not have to fear ambition, after all it is about what we build with that ambition, and how we do it, and how we don't.
400 years ago, did traditional women earn money from social media influencing posts? goes to show you how little Megha respects her husband as a provider
400 years ago traditional women earned money. Throughout history the only women who did not have to do so were royalty, nobility, and various other members of wealthy elite classes. That remains the case todasy. The American middle class of the 1950s falls into that rare elite category. Today it would be the upper-middle class. For everyone else, paying bills remains a struggle, a grind. Perhaps Meghaji is a member of an elite class of women that doesn't have to do so, in which case whatever extra money is earned online will just add to the coffers. That's how elite classes roll. They don't say, "Um, ok, we've got enough now." It's the lower classes that are satisfied with less. The upper classes are always striving for more and more. I'm not saying this is "right" (or wrong), just explaining how things work.
Also, she's of South Asian (Indian) ethnicity/culture which would also compel her to do something with her education. That's how the Indian-American demographic worked itself into the highest tax bracket in the USA. High acheivers. Model minority. Don't hate. Emulate.
Watch out for these antifeminist chameleons, they are just larping to leech power from men and get simp armies. That is all "Red Pill Women" are, not after loving men, but more like after power.
Because most, if not all of them, do not practice what they preach. See, their fee-male thinking is, by saying what they think masculine hardcore men like to hear but not doing it, will give them a free pass to continue to do their cryptofeminist bullshit for themselves, ie. Building their trad social media brand and doing their jobs while saying women should not work, while managing to leverage some power and support from men by this sweettalk manipulation in the form of superchats, donations, and whiteknights who say "she's an exception, let her do whatever!", and also trying to exalt herself above other women by putting them down that way.
It's these foids' fool strategy, they are not in the least submissive and caring for their man. So what is the ulterior motive of their malepower-leeching strategy? Well, see this sneaky chameleon Antifeminist RP Woman, wants to be "above, not among women". She wants to be considered the superior exception (especially with more smartness and skills in particular), to show that she can be a whole person and not just meeting all her feminine milestones. She wants to be a Phyllis Schlafly - who claimed she was an amazing trad family girl who was a good housewife, but in reality had a job as a lawyer and traveled alone sometimes, even though she scorned women who did those 2 same things as her. The Phyllis who claimed women should not get too much education or write, yet wrote books and went to court like a man.
Only she wants to be educated and slowly worm out from men the FAVOR to do typically male things, by saying what other women shouldnt do and claiming the antifeminist title, just ultimately to feed her ego and let her feel more special than all other women by going and do all those feminist things for herself only, in a crypto way of course. Again for more simps and males thinking she's high value "smart", in the bitchiest way possible, and for them to turn a blind eye to her stepping up and taking more rights than other females. She is the anti-ladies' lady, the most dominant and psychotic of all females possible, any girl that just wants to leech and taste male power by pretending to be MRA and Trad is a No. 1 psychobitch and no better than the cranky blue-haired feminists.
Another catch: Red Pill antifeminist women cannot stand each other, they cannot even form the stupid cliques with each other. They understand why each one of them is doing what they are doing, to gain power and leeway from men, while forming simp armies to use, so of course they know they are competitive bitches and will take each other's rights just to look good in front of any man that holds an ounce of power at all. So yes, they do not trust each other. Larping chameleons can't even tolerate other larping chameleons, only one can be the great grifter. Why would they trust another woman who wants to be "above, not among women"? That is the most dangerous type to them, trp fem larpers know they are dangerous to each other.
Where is she telling other women not to earn money? I don't see it. A desi-american would never advise such a thing.
"Another catch: Red Pill antifeminist women cannot stand each other, they cannot even form the stupid cliques with each other."
As a desi-american she has super tight social bonds with other Indian-American women. The family and social networks of this demographic are legion. Something westerners can learn from.
Caveat: I'm assuming she's desi-american but it applies equally to desi-canadian, desi-british, desi-australian, etc.
A near death experience, that will do it every time. Unfortunately one of the drawbacks of our easy modern life is that the chances of such a thing are quite small. That is unless you're an adventurous spirit that seeks out danger just for the thrill of it. If I could I would bring back the Dangerous Sports Club, but Health and Safety would not approve sadly.

In USA the poor health of our citizens make NDEs possible. Lots of heart attacks, strokes, etc. So many NDE stories come from these incidents.
For some years I suffered thru contentious exchanges w/ one arrogant liberal whose name was Isaac. He used lower case "i" as his sign off. The context of this was in a group of about 15 adults of different political persuasions. Most of us used normal capitalization for formal names or nicknames. A couple of libertarians used capitals for whichever nouns seemed important to them.
I commented on the post. She says she is a classicist, then evades Greece as the most pro-man culture in history by advocating an anti-man ethic. And what alleged moral defects, on the basis of what morality are there, even implicitly in my post? You evade judging my ideas. Of course, given your hidden Christianity, that's your point.
Pride and arrogance are distinct. Pride comes from an accomplished task. A job well done. There is nothing in that to run contrary to humility. Humility is not low self-esteem.
You're rationalizing religion and evading a definition of humility. Humility is low self-esteem or, more importantly, an alleged moral obligation to hate self-esteem. Thus the Christian moral hatred of intellectual pride. Christianity is an intellectual cancer disintegrating the mind's power to identify and integrate perceptions. In the Dark or Middle Ages, towns would occasionally become dominated by religious hysteria. This is returning with Rightism and Leftism as people sacrifice their mind to tradition or equality,
"Arrogance is overbearing pride or haughtiness," according to Wiki0pedia. Pride without insult is possible.
The dictionary defines humility as modesty, lacking pretense, not believing that you are superior to others. Sure, there may be other definitions.
Just going by how she writes on her Subtack, Meghaji seems to have a very healthy self-esteem, even bordering on self-importance or superiority. So maybe she's thinking about humility in an attempt to bring balance. Rightly or wrongly, her particular ethno-cultural demographic in the West is not known for humbleness. Not that I'm judging. I don't personally know her.
I accidentally created a substack and have been unable to delete it. My posts are all I do here. I comment on culture, economics, politics, etc. I use Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism to guide my thinking. I am helped in this by the Harry Binswanger Letter, the Yaron Brook Show and the Ayn Rand Institute's, New Ideal.
Love this post, thank you megha

Sounds exactly like Uriah Heep from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield.
“It’s humility that makes you love God most because it makes you realize how much you are blessed with that you likely don’t even deserve.”
Spot on. I believe it was Grant Smith who wrote that to be humble, is to simply see yourself as you are.
As a moral toliet?

How to be humble with this one weird trick.
A near death experience, that will do it every time. Unfortunately one of the drawbacks of our easy modern life is that the chances of such a thing are quite small. That is unless you're an adventurous spirit that seeks out danger just for the thrill of it. If I could I would bring back the Dangerous Sports Club, but Health and Safety would not approve sadly.

Pride is the crown of the virtues.
-Aristotle
Youre a Christian, not a classicist.
Humility is spitting in your own face.
Youre a liar.
are you inviting other people to diagnose your moral defects on the basis of your comment in the way you did to the author on the basis of her post?
I commented on the post. She says she is a classicist, then evades Greece as the most pro-man culture in history by advocating an anti-man ethic.
