And the market is dead.
Dead in many instances? Absolutely I agree with you. Dead across the board? Absolutely not. If you live in a major urban center where everyone is trying to live the Sex In The City lifestyle, of course you'd think that. There are still pockets of conservative people throughout the United States who are counter cultural. Have you ever been to rural Idaho? Lots of young, married couples out there. They don't make much money, but many live happy, genuine lives.

Do you honestly think the two women in the original post wouldn't be opened to being a benevolent alpha male's wife?
No, otherwise they'd be married right now.

My guess is that they are publishing what they are in large part to attract that kind of man.

Looking for the best sucker.
Since when is trying to find a man to marry looking for a sucker? That is double-speak. You can't blame a woman for sleeping around and not getting married, then say she's up to no good by wanting to find a stable man to settle down with. Which one is it? Men and women are both looking for the best deal our combined assets will grant us. We all settle on some front, because none of us are perfect 10's.

It is a brilliant marketing strategy by that measure.

Gold-digging never changes.
So, by expanding their social circle and access to high-status men, they are automatically gold-diggers? When I go out and network with successful businessmen, am I a gold digger too? We all want to have successful friends, and women have a strong incentive to find a man who can provide. If these women are ignoring perfectly good middle-class men that are making a pass at them, then you have a point. A woman in it only for the money isn't worth marrying. Still, we don't know the details of their personal lives. If they have a boyfriend or not. If they demand expensive jewelry or not. That's up to the men who date them to find out. A certain amount of graciousness, while at the same time keeping your eye open for red flags is part of what makes a Red Pill man RP.

They expand their social circle through political activism, thus exposing themselves to more men who think like them, and from there, picking one. They are running girl game at a fairly high level. My only problem with them doing so would be if it comes out that they are just sleeping around and doing it for the attention, and never get into a LTR/marriage. If they are pushing 30 and have never had a LTR, then, by all means, heap scorn on them. If they are using their publicity to attract and pick a man, what's wrong with that? Remember, women don't go out and actively "game" like us. Their method of locking down a man is fairly passive, that is, to pick from what's available (and makes a pass at them). They are expanding the number of men who make a pass at them. They run the risk of becoming attention whores if they never pick anyone, but hopefully they have a good father figure that shows them there is more to gain by locking a good man down than having the fleeting attention of many.

The amount of makeup they wear suggests they are in it more than just to find a husband.
Strongly agree they could cut down on the makeup. Not to my taste. That being said, I've known at least two girls that come to my in my close social circle who also wore too much makeup, but were also feminine and sweet. Both are married. One has two kids already before 30. The one who got married just last year posted this week on facebook she's having a child and can't wait to be a mother. Sorry to say, but bad makeup skills isn't a reliable indicator that a woman is a horrible human being.

But more to the point, the idea that women have a difficult time finding a benevolent alpha to marry today is absolutely preposterous.
There has never been an easier time for an America women to find a man today. American woman today have more options than any of her ancestors by a factor of 1000x. The dating market is so stacked in favor of females it's not even funny. It's not even worth debating. Just laughing at, hence the original gif.
Yes and no. Yes, desirable women have lots of choices in the internet age. The corollary to that is that men who are the "complete package" in the internet age also have tons of options. Both men and women (especially the highly desirable ones) exercise too much choice in the current market. One of the biggest all-time players I've ever known marketed himself as a benevolent alpha male type. Social, sweet talking, good looking and made decent money. He constantly strung one woman on at a time, pretending that they were going to get married, etc. All the while, he already WAS MARRIED to a wonderful woman with two kids that he cheated on constantly. He used his desirability to rack up notches after marriage.
There are good men out there who want to get married, for sure. I agree with you on that point. But many of them never had masculine influence in their lives, and are often weak men. They don't understand what attracts or keeps a high quality woman. Many have social issues. Millions of men are addicted to porn, substance abuse, gambling and other problems. Are the women of America perfect little angels? Absolutely not. I'd wager to say a very slim minority of them are worth marrying. Still, to claim that the average American man doesn't have any work to do to make himself desirable or well-rounded is certainly a one-sided tale.
