| 4 | How hard is it to actually get high SMV college girls if you're a high SMV man in your 30s?... No. You need a six pack and an OKC profile. Plenty of older dudes can get with younger women. A lot of them just let themselves go. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/01/16 04:48 AM |
| 1 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.You made one particular claim is what I mean. Not every claim in a philosophy has to be new for the philosophy to be so. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/01/16 04:05 AM |
| 1 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.I've never seen anyone who matters on TRP saying that, nor has she ever contributed anything of value to the subreddit. He only qualification she even claims to have is that she's old and been around a while, but that kind of shit has never mattered on TRP. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/01/16 04:03 AM |
| 1 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.If you don't have words then there's a good chance that you don't have any rational basis at all for your ideas. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/01/16 07:42 PM |
| 3 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.RPWs and TRP men have incompatible views on how to be a red pill style male. RPWs seems to characterize it as a high beta who can lead and command some social status but is still very safe, and quite frankly low enough in value to sucker into marriage. He has a safe stem career and is fit for a relationship. Red pill men shit on that idea and just want to be alpha as fuck, and would probably consider the RPW man to be a bitch or a blue piller. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 18/01/16 05:23 AM |

| 7 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.Before I was red pill, I was fully able to entertain a thought without accepting it and I was had a very good knowledge of TRP.

| 9 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.Trp has done, as I stated, what every generation has done: Stuck today's fashion on an old idea and pretended that they invented it. And again, no explanation why. Just a restatement that you hold a particular opinion. No argument, no contrary evidence, no anything. And do you know why blue pillers disagree with your assertion that trp is some shiny new evolutionary and revolutionary milestone? Because they've been trying to avoid that turd all their lives. Are you trying to say that TBP is a ne… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/01/16 11:56 PM |
| 9 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.I could collect the best ideas from philosophers from the past X years and dump them together in my own way of life.

| 10 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.I have.

| 12 | Blue pill is never going to understand red pill because blue pill refuses to believe that TRP is a new thing.I already explicated this opinion in my OP. I wrote: Blue pill treats red pill as the embodiment of the patriarchy, the reminiscence of the 1800s, and the oppressive biases that they've heard about for their entire lives. They throw criticisms of that machine onto TRP, which don't fit the actual subreddit or its philosophy. I think this is very in line with your comment here and not a strawman.

| 0 | Isn't MGTOW what feminists want?Feminists have a very high opinion of women. They thought that being taken off the pedestal would still mean being loved and respected, just for their individual unique accomplishments and merits. The fact that men who don't pedestalize them often think very lowly of women and see them as weak, lazy, and spoiled is a nasty shock. The fact that theories based on how weak and spoiled women are actually work for getting men laid is a real slap in the face. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/01/16 05:12 AM |

Tell me, in what sense are you a red pill expert? Do you receive dozens of pms per week from RPers asking for advice because they trust your knowledge? Do you have a shit load of upvoted posts?

| 2 | The actions of moderate or "true" feminists, not of radicals or crazies, are what put people off of feminism.It's a bit more upscale, also more triggery since the MRM is a degree less offensive than the red pill. Gotta be real careful about the rules though. | /r/MensRights | 04/01/16 07:32 AM |

| 2 | From a blue piller, here's some things that bother me about the blue pill and the way it has discussions here.It's a bunch of guys comparing notes and guessing, based on these trends, why some things appear to work and some things don't. Isn't that what a theory is? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/12/15 04:44 AM |
| 1 | Q4RP: Endorsed ContributorsHe doesn't care about the moral aspect of it. He was posting about the factual aspects so he clearly cares about those. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/12/15 03:39 AM |
| 5 | Q4RP: Endorsed ContributorsExactly. Every single response was off topic and just generic anti-rape rhetoric. Obviously CisWhiteMaelstrom is gonna be rape culture personified. Don't click the link if you don't want to see him. His username is well known. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/15 10:08 PM |
| 7 | Q4RP: Endorsed ContributorsI'm more blue than red but I'm not a bitch like these people are. His thread was very neutral considering the whole thing and he used it to advance a reasonable point of discussion about who rapists are. Do I agree? No. But the reaction was stupider than the post. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/15 09:51 PM |
| 10 | Q4RP: Endorsed ContributorsAs far as I know, the red pill never promised moral guidance. CisWhiteMaelstrom's posts and comments on the red pill are unquestionably high quality by their standards and that's why he's endorsed. The fact that he hears about rape and his gut reaction is to learn and discuss rather than moralize might be despicable by most people's standards but it's fantastic for red pill thinking. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/15 09:40 PM |
| 4 | CMV: Stereotyping men with certain behaviours into a pejorative Nice Guy™ archetype is dehumanising towards men, and thus betrays an example of contemporary feminist hypocrisy.It's equally morally reprehensible but being morally reprehensible isn't a weakness for the red pill's position, whereas it's ruinous to feminism. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/12/15 05:32 AM |

| 20 | Men, what are some male specific issues you'd like society to be aware of?I did a write up once of 15,000 characters worth of sources for claims that MRAs and red pillers are concerned with. Due to the limits of a reddit post though, some are missing. Dakru also made a very good list. I'm more concerned with feminism though, since it's probably either the seed of all male issues or the barrier between men and equality. I wrote more about it here and here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/12/15 01:31 AM |

| 1 | TBP: How do you feel about this post on TRP? Agree or disagree?If red pill social dynamics are correct, then yes TBP is undeniably misogynistic for seeing women's biological imperative as thrust upon them. If red pill is wrong, then red pill is misogynistic for not seeing women's true potential. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/15 03:48 AM |
| 11 | CMV: TBP's Are Too EmotionalIt's just that they are more concerned with your surivival rather than absolute truth so favored by science. Don't most red pillers say that red pill isn't science? You guys certainly don't cite much science. We are fragile, comfort-seeking creatures with the capability of being very delusional. Always intellectualizing our emotions and whatnot. TRP deals with brutal, no-holds barred truth....or at least it tries to. Red pill has written a lot on emotion, particularly anger. Near as I can tell, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/12/15 03:46 AM |

Hang on though, the "bills" and the "pursuing the goal" are two different things. "Pursuing the goal" is like having a career and rich people love to talk about and think about their career and how they do that. Ideally this should be correct. This is what I'm saying though, with sentiments like "men would just live in boxes if they weren't trying to impress women" they'… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/15 11:51 PM |
| 1 | Red Pill Endorsed/Mods, to what extent do you take unrecognized users seriously?RP is created outside of reddit, on the man-o-sphere blogs, its discussed on RP subs I browse TRP a lot to try and understand it, and I'd estimate that maybe one out of a hundred threads that get well upvoted will even reference, let alone exclusively or deeply discuss, an outside manosphere blog. I just took a quick skim at the top 25 posts of this month and there is literally not one mention. This is an extraordinarily unsubstantiated claim. Or did you just mean it for RPW? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/15 11:31 PM |
| 1 | In what ways is TRP dehumanizing towards men?Sex is like money: if you have it, you don't think about it. Yet they think all men are basing their whole lives around it like they are. If I've learned anything from watching Donald Trump, this is 100% false. Hell, even my engineer friends who are now hired and doing well are all about money. Most rich people work jobs they don't like, 50-60 hours per week, and do it while thinking of money. Rich people are absolutely obsessed with money.

Charity is the single most important principle in philosophical discourse and it bothers me to see the blue pill throw it out the window. Plus, my rhetorical position has always been anti-narrative and it helps helps my rhetoric for there to be two equally plausible opposing narratives, namely TRP and feminism.

If it's a nonstop barrage of gotcha questions with 'witty' answers, then the mods would probably pick up on it and ban them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/15 11:07 PM |
| 1 | In what ways is TRP dehumanizing towards men?But then all they're doing is projecting. Projecting what, specifically? But by saying men in general wouldn't do shit without sex as a motivator is just projecting themselves onto all men. I've heard people say that if doctors were paid like nurses, nobody would become a doctor. Doctors just seem to me like reasonably enticed and very motivated people though, and not like people who are desperate for money and who pedestalize nice cars. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/15 11:05 PM |

| 1 | In what ways is TRP dehumanizing towards men?Are they pedestalizing them? Do you see red pillers idolizing women, seeing that they can't do any wrong, and speaking unimaginably highly of them? I don't. I see red pillers seeing sex as an important means to their own happiness, pursuing it as such, and primarily valuing how it adds to their lives rather than how reds can improve the woman's life. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/15 10:23 PM |

| 1 | In what ways is TRP dehumanizing towards men?Because they want sex. It's important to them. You can either play them game and be happy, or you can go MGTOW and not be happy but at least say that you didn't play. Since they play for themselves, and not to please women, they think that adds some legitimacy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/15 10:20 PM |

| 1 | In what ways is TRP dehumanizing towards men?I think TRP sees that as a lesser evil than being a miserable unsuccessful incel for no benefit other than to say they didn't pedestalize women.

I thought TRP was against putting the pussy on a pedestal? From what I understand, it's about being happy and finding something that works.

It's literally just the male disposability thesis. MRAs have the same concept. We wouldn't fight for men's rights, or in TRP's case spend hours PMing or skyping 'low value' men to help them become happier, if they we didn't value men.

TRP values men based off of their ability to have sex with attractive women No, TRP says that society does that and that society's valuing is critically important to men.

I wouldn't object to someone who said "I'm not a feminist because I don't know much about it and don't see learning about it as worthwhile."

Because no law actually forces you to be masculine. People act masculinely because it's rewarded. The man who stands up for himself, fights for something, and provides his strength will be rewarded for what he does.

I wish it got more upvotes than it did. It really is a blunt reality that our hardships only make us look weak and it really is a blunt reality that avoiding that weakness will get us respect. We're always happy to note that the empathy gap exists when saying it's an injustice but never when working on our discourse.

There was a time when I'd disagree but you're absolutely right. Failure to present ourselves as strong men is a big weakness of this movement and it costs us a lot of respect and subscribers. It also gives us that nasty stigma that prevents MRAs from speaking in public. I've shared stories in the past but I don't plan on ever doing it again.

A new poll shows only 18% of people call themselves feminists -- which means they really don't get feminism (!)More than three-quarters of people said that women don’t have full equality in work, life or politics, and that there’s still work to be done.

So I guess despite her typical "believe all women" rhetoric, Valenti researches every rape account she writes about...Here's a wild idea: Maybe The Rolling Stone wrote the report that way because that's actually what was going through their mind when they wrote it. They actually didn't fact check because of the subject matter and the way we treat alleged victims actually was the cause of the issue. Maybe Valenti is just redrawing the narrative to leave out the reason why her policies don't work and maybe the one giving bad information is partially responsible for the fiasco. | /r/MensRights | 09/04/15 05:06 PM |

It had A role. Do you think there's no causal force between men-on-men injustice and feathering? Today we see men posting on AMR.

| 2 | Feminists are good with math? This is why men suffer.I'm genuinely baffled at how they always think this is due to sexism. Without working the highest paying jobs, women spend 80% of the funds. What that means is that working is not a necessary condition for women to access money. Why the hell would a women then, break her back learning something as hard as computer science instead of something easier like english? The answer here isn't too much oppression; it's too much privilege. Also, there really isn't anti-woman sexism in the sciences. 1 2 | /r/MensRights | 14/03/15 11:20 PM |

Men can't both claim a right to keep traditional roles in the workplace and deny support for traditional roles to women in the home. Is one of the goals of the MRM traditionalism?

I haven't seen this post but I don't care either. However, it's important to keep in mind that we almost never talk about this shit. Same goes with prison sentencing and such.

Historically, the suffragettes weren't far off. They did bombings and everything. In academia there are fuckheads like Andrea Dworkin. In empirical research there's Mary Koss.

| 1 | Using the "Banhammer" on /r/mensrightsThe evidence is that it already has led to something: $750 million.

Intel just committed $750 million to the cause of damseling feminist women, on the basis that a couple isolated females recently had their feelings hurt online.

I think that might inform your perspective. If all someone looks for is verification, they'll ask each other things like if patriarchy can explain how many more men are imprisoned and then, if they find it can answer it, they say they verified it again.

Second, you fail to account for certain things such as that if a woman is getting child support then she has children and the man does not, which to a degree offsets the issue. That being said, this is especially interesting with respect to this study which shows that the wage gap comes down to personal choices rather than discrimination. | /r/MensRights | 26/01/15 01:29 AM |

Feminism is currently the dominant narrative for understanding gender in America. It shapes perceptions on gender and drastically affects how problems get solved or if they get solved at all. The patriarchy paradigm which has always dominated feminism casts men as the privileged class, suffering from sexism only when sexism against women backfires. From this view, it's nearly impossible to advocate for actual men's issues. Because of that, we… | /r/MensRights | 24/01/15 01:45 PM |

| 1 | On re-notation: How changing a name doesn't change a thingMy position is that we can't just change the name because what we call things is fundamentally entwined with how we reason about them. I cited philosophers who agree with me and a scientific hypothesis that's still controversial as support for my claim. Changing a name changes how we think about things and thus changes must be argued for and meaningful rather than just arbitrary. Resetting the names is also a bad plan because that loses all the argumentative and conceptual groundwork we've done. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/15 10:59 PM |

I think what you wanted here was for 'why are they offended' to be answered in a way related to misogyny but that's not it. People just don't like being yelled it.

| 3 | A question for the female mra's; who or what got you into the movementIf I'm being totally honest, a quick look through your post history shows that you don't give to many level headed comments yourself that would attract level headed ones.

One of those is just the natural effect of the other. That's just inevitable. I don't agree with him but I understand that it's what is probably for someone to do some version of.

Unless I'm arguing specifically about me, which is something I hardly ever do, then it's never relevant. I openly identify as an MRA if asked.
