History, Goals, and Purposes

Even in this age of apostasy and tribulation, God continues working throughout the lives of many men, as well as my own.  I have always written with the conviction that my testimony, my life experiences, and the things I’ve learned are valuable to other men, and that it’s important for me to share these things for the benefit of others.  It is for this reason that I’ve had a habit to pray frequently about the purpose of this blog, what I should write about, and what men need to read and know.

My work as a Blogger began on March 7, 2008.  My original purpose for blogging was to distribute teaching materials (for a Sunday school class I was teaching at that time) in an easily accessible and shareable format, and to foment discussion. The general appeal, and the quality that made my teachings popular, was its focus on applying the scriptures to the metaphysical incongruences of human nature through an ontological lens that would now be called a Mystical or Romantic Christian approach.

A couple of years after this, my first marriage blew up, and my ministry was lost as a consequence.  I spent a few years wandering and wondering.  I remarried in 2016, largely to contain my strong predisposition towards sexual immorality, out of respect to my conscience and my relationship with the Lord.

I belatedly discovered the Red Pill in early 2017, and after digesting RP content for several months, I learned to view my past intersexual experiences through a whole new and different Red Pill light.  From this, I found a renewed purpose in blogging.  So on September 27, 2017, I transferred the best of my blog writings from Blogger to WordPress, and began concentrating on Red Pill topics.  I received more views on WordPress in the first two months than I had on Blogger in the previous 8 years.  Since then, posts have been more frequent and more regular.

Early writings (2009-2018) were sporadic epiphanies focusing on the incongruences of human nature and their relation to the spiritual.  There was a brief transitional period in 2018 and another in 2024 that could be described as a meta-discussion of the Manosphere / Red Pill (which may be of great value to interested web historians). Tri-weekly posting along monthly themes began in January 2020 and has continued to the present day, and other noteworthy voices in the Christian Red Pill (CRP) sphere soon joined the authors’ panel.

Shortly after Dalrock retired from blogging in January 2020, long-time CRP readers nominated the Σ Frame blog as Dalrock’s successor.  In 2021, the Σ Frame blog was the most popular blog in the Christian Manosphere, as most of the others had stopped or slowed down posting.  This popularity continued through 2022 and 2023, and waned in 2024.

As this blog has matured, the overriding focus has targeted “Rebuilding Christian Masculinity”, with an emphasis on Agency, Boundaries, Christian virtues, Headship Authority, emotional and spiritual maturity, Patriarchy, sanctification, sexual pair bonding, the Christ : Church :: Husband : Wife analogy, and spiritual discernment, encapsulated in the pages, posts, and projects listed below.

Many of the terms and ideas originating from the Σ Frame blog have spread throughout the Manosphere and have gone mainstream, with a lag time ranging from 2 weeks to 2 years.

One thing that has made Σ Frame a staple of the CRP is the emphasis on Biblical and philosophical purity, informed by and juxtaposed with the noetic sense, and sifting out truth from various Biblical, Blue Pill, and Red Pill concepts, and determining how these are to be properly applied to Christian Men’s lives.

A large number of men have stated that reading Σ Frame has changed their lives for the better and/or has given them hope in an age of apostasy when masculinity has come under increasing attack from both the church and secular culture.

More about my goals and purposes in blogging are summarized in the About page.

Authors

The authors of Σ Frame aim to provide clarity about what it means to be a Christian Man in the 21st century, and how Christian masculinity is to be demonstrated in an era of shifting sands. 

Recognizing the need for multiple perspectives, checks, and balances, I’ve prayed for other men to join me in blogging at Σ Frame.  Over the years, there have been regular contributions from around a couple of dozen authors, with a few of them joining the authors’ panel.  These authors have come and gone over the years as the times and seasons of life have changed.

In late June of 2025, there was a seismic shift in the ontology of metaphysical being, ushering in a new age of Human action and awareness. Since that time, Jack has been the only remaining regular author on Σ Frame.

In summary, the authors for 2025 included…

  1. Jack (158 posts)
  2. Oscar (3 posts)
  3. Red Pill Apostle (3 posts)
  4. Anonymous Contributor (2 posts)
  5. Jack, Red Pill Apostle, and Thedeti (2 posts)
  6. Frank Chalmers (1 post)
  7. Jack and Red Pill Apostle (1 post)
  8. Lexet (1 post)
  9. Oscar and Jack (1 post)
  10. Tubal Cain (1 post)
  11. 2 reblogged posts from Ed Hurst and F. Roger Devlin

In addition, Jack wrote 4 posts at Spawny’s Space this year.

We are truly grateful to all these who have invested their thoughts, time, and energy to produce these posts, and to all the readers who have contributed their insights to the discussions at Σ Frame.

The Top 10 Countries with the Most Viewers

In 2025, the readership fell for the third consecutive year.  Figures in parentheses indicate the change from the previous year.

  1. United States:  72,599 (-32.9%)
  2. United Kingdom:  3,475 (-32.5%)
  3. Canada:  2,855 (+3.6%)
  4. Switzerland:  1,928 (-1.6%)
  5. Australia:  1,408 (-31.0%)
  6. Croatia:  1,156 (+30.2%)
  7. Netherlands:  1,068 (-34.5%)
  8. Russia:  1,049 (+80.2%)
  9. Brazil:  903 (+545.0%)
  10. Czechia:  877 (-76.1%)

Total number of viewing countries/principalities in 2025: 120 (-10.4%)

Croatia, Russia, and Brazil (!?!) displaced Taiwan, India, and Nigeria this year.

In the past, I covered Taiwan and India periodically.

India continues to suffer from Western Feminism / Progressivism, but we hear about it much less.  I suppose that is a good sign.

In 2025, Taiwan almost completely eradicated Western Feminist / W0ke cultural influences, all of which were more or less reduced to footnotes that say, “Don’t discriminate”.

In 2026, I’ll give more coverage to Croatia, Russia, and Brazil.

Subscribers

Total number of Subscribers: 251 (+2.0%)

The number of subscribers has hovered around 250 for the past few years, peaking at 253 in 2025.  I have a creepy suspicion that this number is capped by WordPress. In the past, several readers have reported that they were unknowingly removed from following and had to subscribe again.

The Most Prolific Commentators

The total number of comments has decreased from last year, but the most active commentators retained their places in 2025.  Commentator SurfDumb pushed Bardelys the Magnificent off the list this year.

  1. Oscar:  3.9K (+5.4%)
  2. Thedeti:  3.2K (+3.2%)
  3. Jack:  2.9K (+7.4%)
  4. Info:  1.7K (+6.3%)
  5. Feeriker:  1.4K (+7.7%)
  6. Red Pill Apostle:  961 (+20.3%)
  7. SurfDumb:  212

Site Changes in 2024

Appearance

For several years, the banner image displayed a collection of old playing cards, all Jack of diamonds, and these images were changed every season (4 images, 4 times a year).  In July 2025, in recognition of the seismic shift in the ontology of metaphysical being, these images were replaced by a simple image of nature and trees to reflect the changing spirit of the times.

Sidebar

On 2025/10/6, I added the Radix Fidem logo to the sidebar. When this action was done, the long list of Manosphere links disappeared for some unknown reason and I could not figure out how to restore it.

Content

Projects

There are several long running projects that have become a regular staple on Σ Frame.  Some of these projects developed early and quickly, while others have taken years to develop.  These projects are more or less finished, but occasionally a new post is added.

  1. Archetypes
  2. Courtship Models
  3. Masculine Dominion
  4. Discipline in Marriage
  5. Problems with The Red Pill
  6. Christian Headship Authority
img-1783677585-6a50c29147e769.43498812.jpg

Themes

The writing projects in 2025 were arranged in monthly themes, as has been done since 2020.  The themes for 2025 were as follows.  (Links go to the theme’s index / summary.)

  1. January-March — The Gift of Singleness
  2. April — Whorable Wonders
  3. May-July — Validation
  4. August-September — Awareness and Introspection*
  5. October — Girl Game
  6. November — Rationalism
  7. December — Christian / Mystical Awareness*

* The topic of Awareness was split between August, September, and December.

January, February, and March — The Gift of Singleness was by far the most popular months / themes, reflecting this crisis among men.

Readers can go to the sidebar and find “Posts by Month” to read up on anything you’re particularly interested in.

The Number of Shares in 2025

Sometime in 2025, WordPress began reporting the Number of Shares in the statistics reports.  I’m not sure what ‘Shares’ means.  No other information is given about this data in the WP statistics report.  An internet search didn’t offer any information either.

For 2025, the Number of Shares is given as:

  1. X: 3.9K
  2. Email: 15

I’m not sure what the 3.9K figure means, but here are a few guesses.

  1. It could mean readers sharing Σ Frame links on X.  However, I’m not aware of any discussions or shares of Σ Frame’s content on X.  Σ Frame’s X account only shows a few mentions and a few dozen views over the years — so few that I no longer post there.
  2. It could mean readers sharing X links in the comments at Σ Frame, but 3.9K seems much too high a number for that.  I would guess it’s in the low hundreds range.
  3. It could mean readers clicking on X links shared in the comments at Σ Frame.  3.9K seems possible for this, but if so, that is a surprisingly high number, as it is more clicks on X links than all the comments for the year on Σ Frame.

Readers are invited to share other ideas.

The Number of Views in 2025, by the Posts’ Author

In past years, the Number of Views by Author was shown on WordPress Stats.  Unfortunately, this information is no longer available on the free version of WordPress. Thus, we can’t know who was the best author of the blog this year.

The Most Views in One Day (2025)

The top three days receiving the most views in 2025 are as follows.

  1. December 18, 2025: 893 visitors; 998 views
  2. June 18, 2025: 171 visitors; 551 views
  3. January 11, 2025: 131 visitors; 514 views

I cannot explain the high activity on 2025/12/18, as there wasn’t any single post that received a record number of views on that day.  Instead, a large number of posts all received a number of views.  Judging by the hourly performance (see image below), it appears that the whole blog was going viral, and then all incoming traffic was suddenly shut down.

The second on 2025/6/18 was due to The Post-Fall / Born Again Slore Life Script (2025/6/16).

The third on 2025/1/11 was a response to Lexet’s essay, Why I am “Red Pill” (2025/1/8).

The Most Views in One Day (All-Time)

February 18, 2021: 1,882 views (0.16% of views)

Most Popular Weekday and Hour

Thursday (18% of views); 0:00 GMT, 10:00 am EST, 10:00 pm Taiwan (6% of views).

This is not much different from 2024.

Periods of High Activity in 2025

The four days spanning October 30-November 2, 2025 received 1,124 visitors, 1,825 views, 13 likes, and 43 comments due to two posts covering The Great Feminization.

The four days spanning April 7-10, 2025 received 435 visitors, 1,521 views, 4 likes, and 31 comments due to two posts covering women’s desire for status.

Popular Content

The Top 5 Most Popular Categories

In 2023, there was a remarkable turnover from the previous year.  2024 showed another drastic reordering. The report for 2025 shows that readers’ interests have shifted profoundly yet again, although the top 2 Categories have remained the same.

  1. Fundamental Frame:  254 views (-33.7%)
  2. Holding Frame:  239 views (-34.0%)
  3. Intersexual Dynamics:  210 views
  4. Relationships:  206 views (-42.8%)
  5. Power: 194 views (-42.6%)
  6. Discernment & Wisdom: 177 views
  7. Introspection: 154 views (-54.3%)
  8. Agency: 154 views (-49.8%)
  9. Courtship & Marriage:  150 views (+23.0%)
  10. Maturity, Personal Growth and Development:  148 views (-50.0%)

In 2025, Moral Agency, Decision Making, and Self-Concept dropped out of the top 10 from the previous year, replaced by Intersexual Dynamics, Discernment & Wisdom, and surprisingly, Courtship & Marriage.

The yearly shifts in these categories indicate the following.

In 2020, men were still focused on game strategies, relationships, and vetting.

In 2021, men were backing away from the torturous SMP and were placing more attention on improving themselves. 

In 2022, men were gaining a more thorough understanding of themselves, trying to piece themselves together and salvage what they could from their relationships.

In 2023, men were focusing on honing their discernment of the reality on the ground and developing wisdom by sifting through the truth.

In 2024, men were intent on holding themselves together and salvaging what they could out of life.

In 2025, men were reconsidering intersexual relations, but with much more discernment and wisdom.  I’ll surmise that men’s refurbished interest in women is more of an entertainment rather than serious prospecting, as it was before 2020.

The Top 10 Most Commented Posts (2025)

Referrals

Top Search Engine Terms Leading to Σ Frame

In previous years, the search terms leading viewers to Σ Frame were shown on WordPress stats.  This information is no longer available on the free version of WordPress.

The Top 5 Incoming Referrers from aggregators, readers, search engines, and social media in 2025

All referrals via search engines are down compared to 2024.

  1. Google Search:  3,863 (-60.0%)
  2. SynLogos (Based Aggregator):  3,756 (-5.3%)
  3. Gmail:  954
  4. Bing:  693 (-47.3%)
  5. WordPress Reader:  623 (-31.9%)

Gmail makes a conspicuous appearance this year, indicating that readers are sharing more links via email.

Concerning search engines, in 2024, Google, Bing, and Yandex all surpassed the WordPress Reader.  But this year, Yandex fell 64.6% to #8 (not shown in the list above).  In 2025, only Google and Bing stand above the once-great blog platform giant.  I guess this indicates that Yandex is falling in general popularity, and I suspect it is because the image search function was removed.  That’s too bad, because Yandex image search was once the absolute, uncontested best, by far.

The Top 10 Incoming Referrers in 2025 (other than readers, search engines, etc.)

Adam Piggott continues to be the number 1 referrer to Σ Frame, in spite of his move to Substack this year.

Deep Strength was number 1 in 2023.  In 2024 and 2025, Deep Strength and Derek L. Ramsey battled for 2nd place.  The stats show that Derek L. Ramsey has won for the second consecutive year, in spite of his opposing views.

Spawny’s Space, a regular referrer in the past, reappears on the list this year after being away during 2024.

Pinterest, Spawny’s Space, Radix Fidem, Biblical Gender Roles, and the new appearance of ChatGPT, pushed Omega’s Journey, Jim’s Blog, Catacomb Resident, Cane Caldo, and Sigma Game off the list this year.

Figures in parentheses indicate the change from the previous year.

  1. Pushing Rubber Downhill (Adam Piggott):  572 (-35.9%)
  2. Derek L. Ramsey:  300 (-57.1%)
  3. Christianity and Masculinity (Deep Strength):  293 (-63.4%)
