2	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Fair enough, and a point on which we just disagree. But hardly a feminism or anti-feminist point, no? So why frame it as one?	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 10:20 PM
1	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Innocent until proven guilty is all people are saying Which is a legal standard requiring the prosecution to meet a burden to convict, and not a requirement on society. Criminal accusations carry a stigma even after charges are dismissed or a jury acquits. I've had this argument before. Why limit it to rape? I know an accountant who lost his home, his job, his license, his friends, and his professional standing over charges of which he was ultimately acquitted. I bet he wishes his name had been …	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 09:51 PM
0	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. The juvenile justice system and family law are vastly different from actual criminal justice. Are we going to seal rape convictions after so many years, too?	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 09:19 PM
2	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Also (separate comment for moar orangereds): Father's rights groups in Michigan wanted a shared parenting law that would mandate equal custody to be the default if both parents want custody and neither parent is unfit. The Michigan NOW chapter issued an action alert to oppose that bill. That would be a huge change in how the law works. Currently, the analysis is what's in the best interests of the child. That law would have equal custody, even if, for instance, the child had special needs that m…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 09:12 PM
0	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. I point out that under patriarchy, men got custody And? One gender or the other getting custody by default is a problem. Men getting custody by default is not a stellar example of "equal rights for men," since it's actually superior rights. In the UK, feminists fought against efforts to withhold the names of men accused of rape until after they've been convicted. Given all the examples we have of false rape allegations, why would feminists oppose that?? Why should we treat rape as any different …	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 08:48 PM
5	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. No, I agree that it's unjust. So do major feminist organizations. It's just not the most pressing of injustices considering its practical lack of effectm	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 07:38 PM
4	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. On a technical level, yes. However, given that the standard is "willful and knowing" failure to register, according to Wikipedia there has only been 1 case of prosecuted non-registration where the defendant wasn't doing it as a publicity stunt. It's an on-paper issue that's not actually an issue in the real world. You can make a lot more hay out of things like being unable to get federal student loans without Selective Service registration than this mostly unused provision.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 06:30 PM
5	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Not voting. Several other important things, like getting government loans and government jobs, do require draft registration. But again, feminist organizations have made undoing or equalizing the draft a part of their platform. It's just not the biggest priority, especially given how unlikely the use of the draft in the foreseeable future is.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 05:25 PM
7	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Feminists fought for their chance to vote, but there was extremely little effort to make it possible for women to either earn that vote by participating in the military, or for both genders getting the ability to vote without going to the military. I'm not sure what you mean here. At least in the US, suffrage has never, to my knowledge, been contingent on service in the military, or upon registration for the draft. Furthermore, several women's rights groups have called for either the abolishment…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 04:43 PM
2	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Definitely, yeah. I grew a beard for a Halloween costume this year, and got shit for saying so rather than saying it was a playoff beard. I asked which sport was having its playoffs, and got even more shit.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 03:57 PM
1	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. See, there I disagree, I think they're just reacting in ways that aren't too helpful. Just like how I think MRAs who go on and on about how women are advantaged in society are halfway to a decent point, but failing to see the other side of the coin. But as you said, another day.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 03:46 PM
2	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. It's perfectly fine to fit all of those norms, for anyone. The key is that you should not have social punishment piled on you when you don't fit those norms, and you should have the choice to violate them. That is, they are OK ways to be, but they shouldn't be norms for society at all. I also fit most of those points on the male side. It's not a bad thing for me, until I violate it in some way.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 03:41 PM
2	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. I feel douchebags all around are the problem more so than any dominant gender. Dominant gender narrative. "Gender" here is an adjective, describing the narrative's quality of being about gender. And that narrative is that men are big, logical, tough-as-nails providers who are bad with children and uncontollable sexual agents, while women are stay-at-home emotional nurturers and sex objects. The rest of your points are well-taken enough, though I'd probably argue that their idea of feminist acade…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 03:34 PM
2	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. There, I'm a bit of a hypocrite. I definitely use "dominant gender narrative" in discussion instead of "patriarchy" because I feel it does a better job of communicating the idea that the patriarchy is problematic for both men and women who are non-conforming. So... yeah, I can definitely see the complaint. I'm still just not sure if the loss of the movement's history is worth that. The concept of patriarchy can be explained as a dominant gender narrative without anyone getting their feathers ruf…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 03:11 PM
1	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Oh, definitely true. But feminism has a long history of internal debate and "groundwork" that your new paradigm would have to set up for itself. For instance, what's "fairness," exactly? TRP would tell you that "fairness" is not lying to people about the importance of gender roles to your personal happiness, by downplaying them. Feminism has a whole host of criticisms of that message that you'd have to either borrow (in which case it'll be seen as a cheap rebranding, like creationism -> intellig…	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 02:13 PM
3	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Yeah, but it locks you out of the broader discussion that's been ongoing for generations about feminism, and has evolved into this rejection of the dominant gender narrative. I think there's some value to that history, and breaking from it is to the overall detriment of the movement. But then, having people knee-jerk about it is also detrimental. Not sure which is worse.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 02:01 PM
15	Feminism helps men to be happier with themselves. Your comment actually enforces red pill theory by stating the problems men have with gender roles and equating feminism as a cure for them See, but feminism is, in the modern conception at least, anti-gender-roles in general. It focuses on women's issues for a variety of reasons, but men's issues with dominant gender narratives are also a part of the movement.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 11:26 AM
4	Woman as solipsistic. Misogyny hurts all of us, men and women.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/10/13 11:20 AM
8	Trp as projection women lack all insight into themselves, so if a woman reports that she has a subjective experience that is contrary to what TRP claims, then the woman is wrong about her own experiences and in reality she has the subjective experiences that TRP says she has. Either that or NAWALT.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/10/13 10:02 PM
7	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective I understand that. But the OP's line doesn't draw any distinction between the two, since that distinction is irrelevant in terms of capability to consent to medical treatment. This is why the OP is outright incorrect, rather than just using a "flawed analogy" or the like.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/10/13 02:10 PM
2	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective Hmm, I thought it was assumed that OP was outlining only their thoughts on when one intoxicates themselves. I didn't take that away. For instance: There is a middle area, and when someone crosses this legally defined line and becomes incoherent, even if still walking and responsive, they can no longer give consent. He's saying "this is the legally defined line," when it is not, even in New York, which is, again, the outlier so far as I am aware.	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/10/13 12:08 PM
11	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective New York's rule is the legal outlier, though. Further, I think saying that the OP's horrible logic was "legally sound" overstates the case. He happens to have stumbled into a similar conclusion based on hugely faulty legal reasoning. The problem here is that his reasoning holds that, if you can respond intelligibly, you can consent. However, NY law does not hold the same. It acknowledges situations in which you could be so intoxicated that you can't consent, but still capable of continuing to ac…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/10/13 01:18 PM
5	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective There's a wide and yawning gap between "encouraging a given outcome" and "taking advantage of someone incapable of giving consent." The guy is still capable of consenting, or choosing not to. Nobody sees makeup and loses their ability to make decisions until they've cum.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/13 10:53 PM
4	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective I think in this case, it's more beneficial to point out why the analogy is legally incorrect than it is to indulge it and attempt to prove it wrong on its own, incorrect grounds. Even if you get to the right answer, you've gotten there by the wrong path, which leads to problems in attempting to apply the conclusion, especially in the law.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/13 10:46 PM
6	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective It actually doesn't work at all, because non-consent is legally different from consent, and you can't generalize from a medical perspective to a sexual one. See my post below. And he'd likely not be fired or facing a lawsuit for taking a drunken "yes" as consent to medical treatment. We don't treat that type of consent in the same intentionally limited way the law treats consent to sex.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/13 10:37 PM
16	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective This also means that if someone is able to speak and verbally communicate a desire for sex, then legally they are NOT incapacitated See, shit like this is what bugs me about non-legal professionals drawing legal conclusions. You're wrong. You're drawing a comparison which is not warranted. Period. You can't say "X is one way, therefor, legally, Y must also be that way." Everything is context-sensitive in legal proceedings. First, your example is one of non-consent, not one of giving consent. The…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/13 10:35 PM
5	Joe Rogan on Women and Relationships I think he would deny most men and women can change their behavior, most of the time. But he is perhaps a little too comfortable with the male perspective though. Except isn't his entire criticism of PUA and the like the fact that men do change their behavior, and that it's harmful? He seems to state that women's behavior is genetic, but men's behavior is a choice resulting from the behavior of women.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/13 12:14 PM
6	How can a drunk person choose to rape and be responsible for it, if they can't choose to have sex and be responsible for it? The fact that women believe hanging out with a stranger for a couple of hours a few times makes them no longer a stranger just indicates to me just how much they need to be protected from their own poor judgment. It's kind of a side issue, but shit like this is hilarious to me, and one of the more frustrating things about TRPers. "One person I suspect of being a woman said something once, therefor I am going to generalize it to all women all the time."	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/13 12:16 AM
6	Men are superior Do you understand that this user was associating that quotation to the meaning of misogyny? I already posted the official definition of misogyny on this thread[1] , so you don't have to remind me what it means. I'm was telling him/her that picking out a TRPer comment and defining that as the meaning of misogyny is his/her own opinion. I was using it as an example of misogyny, not as the definition. Vastly different things.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 10:28 PM
1	Men are superior I figured it'd be something like HBD. This rather accurately sums up my feelings on the matter. Even if heritable differences exist, the differences between the races are insignificant.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 04:15 PM
3	Rape, consent, and TRP. I've spent a fair amount of time on MRA, and determined that I fundamentally disagree with its methods and mindset (or rather, I think that feminism does a lot better job of answering its legitimate complaints, and doesn't drag in the misogyny/other negative aspects). A lot of folks lose jobs due to other allegations, too. Why is rape special?	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 03:46 PM
3	Rape, consent, and TRP. I used to do criminal. I'm now doing personal injury and business litigation. Huge step up, lemme tell you. For one thing, I've never had an insurance company pay me in suspiciously large rolls of 20s.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 03:44 PM
3	Rape, consent, and TRP. I don't know that we can, honestly.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 03:34 PM
1	Men are superior I maintain my argument that gender is divisive naturally because of our primal US vs. THEM wiring. I can accept that this is true, while still recognizing that you can choose to ignore your "primal wiring," which means that both of our statements are true. I'll give you that us vs. them appears to be a pretty natural human response. However, whether certain specific traits form the boundaries of "us vs. them" is a choice we make, and a choice we can un-make consciously. Just like you can overrid…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 03:19 PM
3	Rape, consent, and TRP. And I've seen people imprisoned on accusation alone on other charges (among them theft, assault and battery, and not paying child support -- yep, a civil matter; capias will screw your life up). I still fail to see why you're continuing to single out rape, when it seems you really just want a higher standard overall for bringing charges. So push for some pre-trial phase where the attorneys have to show substantial certainty rather than probable cause. But don't just single out rape, because it's…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:54 PM
3	Men are superior "Natural" is not "moral." We're not arguing over why it happens, but whether it should happen. It shouldn't, because bigotry is baseless, illogical, and detrimental to our understanding of the world, ourselves, each other, etc. We worship our own reflections and shout: "I am right; and you are wrong; and I must bring you around to my way of thinking, or discredit you to the point that no one takes you seriously." And there, again, we have US vs. THEM. Trying to equate racism with the belief that…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:50 PM
2	Rape, consent, and TRP. You are right, but there needs to be more evidence even to charge someone with murder than someone's accusation. Not technically true, given that all you need is probable cause to bring charges in most jurisdictions. An accusation and circumstantial evidence (which is the basis of most rape cases) would likely clear that hurdle. I think that rape cases are different because my cousin was charged with rape after a false accusation. He sat in jail for 6 months right after getting a promotion at hi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:37 PM
12	Men are superior I've made no claims as to the racist content or misogynistic content of the speech related here. Stop making assumptions about me before examining the facts. Right, you're just defending them as natural results. You should be saying "wow, it's kinda fucked up that our culture/society/whatever leads us to make these stupid, illogical connections between people based on ephemeral surface traits, isn't it? Shouldn't we fight that? Shouldn't we view people trying to keep these illogical connections …	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:28 PM
2	Rape, consent, and TRP. But, the way the accused rapist is treated in society, and in media, before a conviction, makes rape cases different Oh? What about acquitted murderers, like OJ Simpson or Casey Anthony? It's hardly unique to rape cases to have your name dragged through the mud. Remember, Nancy Grace "called" those cases wrong just like she did the Duke lacrosse case, loudly and regularly. And trust me, as an attorney who's done criminal work, the reaction of society to most criminal charges is pretty much the s…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:25 PM
2	Rape, consent, and TRP. But your problem is with the bringing of charges at all. Our system isn't designed to stop you from being charged on shaky or borderline evidence, it's designed to stop you from being convicted on that. You don't even want the formality of a trial, though, as you said the worse injustice is having an innocent person charged. There, I just totally disagree. The system is designed/intended to prevent false convictions, with the reasonable doubt standard, presumption of innocence, etc. Preventing f…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:18 PM

3	Rape, consent, and TRP. My problem is some third party being able to determine where this cloudiness becomes too much to give consent. Intent and mental states are tested all the time by the criminal justice system. Mens rea is one of the basic parts of the vast majority of crimes. If your problem is that the criminal justice system can't give you epistemological certainty on that point, well, that's just the system we've got. It sucks, yeah, but how can you do any better? My problem is someone giving consent and then …	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 02:02 PM

13	Men are superior the only important things women contribute to humanity is that hole between their fucking legs, simple as that. men will always beat women when it comes down to it But nobody's claiming that women are inferior? How do you not read that and see how it's placing women as inferior to men?	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 01:18 PM
15	Men are superior Just because you think something is misogynist or wrong, doesn't mean others think the same as you. Well, "wrong" might be subjective, but misogyny can be pretty objectively defined. If the only important things women contribute to humanity is that hole between their fucking legs, simple as that. men will always beat women when it comes down to it ain't misogyny then you're not living in the same reality as the rest of humanity.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 01:17 PM
4	Rape, consent, and TRP. Just FYI, rape is emphatically not a specific intent crime. See People v. Langworthy's long list of citations to rape as a general intent crime in pretty much every jurisdiction, and at common law.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 11:55 AM
3	Rape, consent, and TRP. I think the key here is your apparent assertion that all outward manifestations of consent are actual consent. I assert that not all outward manifestations are actual consent, you disagree. OK. I mean, we can all dream up situations where consent, though it might look OK, isn't really consent. Say, some guy has your entire family tied to a bomb, and says he'll detonate it if you don't go have sex with someone. Is that real consent? Probably not. It's obtained under duress, which invalidates it. …	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/10/13 11:50 AM

8	Rape, consent, and TRP. When both people are "incapable" as you put it, of consenting, you automatically put the responsibility on the guy here. Did I? You were the one who framed it as follows: Statements like this make it impossible for a guy. Who decides whether or not one party is incapable?

You don't see how you're arguing right past me? I'm not presuming anything. In my hypothetical scenario consent was explicitly given.

It's an edge case where the prudent thing to do, if you're capable, is to not have sex.

0	What the fuck is wrong with people ? Think of it like this. On a scale on 1-10, 10 being a break up, I would say that cheating is a 10. Snooping probably falls somewhere between 4-7, depending on the person. So you can imagine why it's frustrating to see a comment that ignores the 10 and vilifies the lesser offense. Right, but everyone knows that cheating is a 10. What's the OP going to get out of a reaction that solely focuses on the most obvious part of the situation? "Wow, you sure are right about everything, OP! Let's just igno…	/r/TheRedPill	09/06/13 06:51 PM
3	What the fuck is wrong with people ? You went through my posting history for SRS posts? I don't think I've been in there for like... six months, maybe more. I'll admit to /r/thebluepill, though, but that's just because you guys make it easy to hate you. This, for instance, is part of it -- ad hominem dismissal of an argument that you think is credible, solely because the source happens to disagree with you. Somebody in an /r/relationships thread compared this sub to a cult, and it's shit like this that makes me think they're right.…	/r/TheRedPill	09/06/13 05:34 PM
6	What the fuck is wrong with people ? Most upvoted comment is always something like "Reading her email/texts/facebook/okcupid is really sketchy...and a bit controlling" / "You snooped through her things? that's wrong" They say this to demonstrate that the relationship wasn't working before he had confirmation of cheating. In general, when you can't trust your partner, the jig is up and you might as well move on. It's not about assigning blame, but trying to get the OP to recognize that (while cheating is obviously wrong) the relatio…	/r/TheRedPill	09/06/13 05:00 PM
2	Found this gem whilst browsing random imgur images. Has a very good point. So... you'd like to have secret juries, secret charges, and arrests that are never explained? Seriously, think about this. You want Gestapo-style secrecy for one specific type of charge, because of how others react to that charge. But if you get arrested and nobody can find out the charges, wouldn't they all just know?	/r/MensRights	24/10/12 07:51 PM

Appeal to popularity doesn't mean anything if it's morally wrong.

0	Was asked to give one example of ways in which sexism hurts men today. I gave several, on of which was selective service. This was the reply. But we didn't have a large-scale volunteer professional force. Also, the value of boots-on-the-ground for defensive, conventional wars (rather than take-and-hold ops) has been hugely reduced by the availability of precise, long-range firepower capabilities from aircraft, ships, etc.	/r/MensRights	16/08/12 08:53 PM

-5	The dark side of geek feminism (x Post from r/linux) OK. So, why in your opinion are the people trying to shame a woman for dressing as she likes "feminists"? What about that speaks to the ideals or goals of feminism? Jesus, these guys said that her dressing as she wanted was assaulting the integrity of their convention. How is that any different from the idea that women need to cover up lest they bring shame on their families? The fact is that these attitudes are born from the same fucked-up gender narrative that causes so many of the legitimate …	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 11:30 PM

-7	The dark side of geek feminism (x Post from r/linux) They totally aren't feminists, they just call themselves that. If you think that how a woman dresses is relevant to anything other than that woman, then you're not a feminist. If you feel the need to call a woman out on how she dresses, that's even worse. Despite what this sub will tell you, feminism isn't about either hating on men or forcing conformity from women.	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 11:00 PM
1	The dark side of geek feminism (x Post from r/linux) These people aren't feminists. It gets into a "no true Scotsman" sort of thing, but when you're saying that someone is bringing shame on a conference by dressing a certain way, you're a 1950s moralist, not a feminist.	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 04:51 PM
3	Preventive Services Covered Under the Affordable Care Act: Services for Adults, Services for Women, Services for Children. No "Services for Men" such as prostate exams. Because these services lower the risk of vastly higher later costs (end-of-life care for late-stage cancers, etc.). This is a mandated form of risk management designed to force insurance companies to take on short-term costs in order to avoid long-term costs, which the companies have proven terrible at recognizing and properly pricing.	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 04:24 PM
3	I don't need Feminism. Anybody that threatens fertile women or children will be questioned and looked down upon. This isn't logical in the modern era, given the lowered actual need for fertile women. And even if it were, it's still an attempt to provide a woman extra protection because she's a woman and can't possibly take care of herself if a big bad man decides to prey upon her. Don't get me wrong, there's a negative male stereotype of the guy-as-predator that's at work too, but that's part and parcel of the golden …	/r/MensRights	31/07/12 03:35 PM

1	Man loses all rights to see his children, sentenced to five years imprisonment after calling judge out on wrongful procedures. Eh, the exams aren't terribly great at testing what you actually need to know to work as an attorney. Most of what attorneys do isn't about what you know, but how you process information. Law schools highly tout "thinking like a lawyer" over teaching actual law, and in large part, they're right to do so (especially if they're not a regional school, and thus will send people to multiple jurisdictions, making any non-federal law they do teach far less useful). The bar exam is mostly black-letter l…	/r/MensRights	13/07/12 06:13 PM
1	Man loses all rights to see his children, sentenced to five years imprisonment after calling judge out on wrongful procedures. A guild cartel is purely protectionist. The licensing requirement is to make sure you're not getting your legal advice from quacks with no real experience. I'll admit that the law school part could probably be replaced with an apprenticeship, so long as the bar exam remains intact, but the intent of the system is vastly different than that of a cartel.	/r/MensRights	13/07/12 05:07 PM

That's one of the easiest ways to get yourself held in contempt and either fined or jailed, not an easy way to win the case. How many divorces, exactly, have you been involved in? The family court is biased as hell. Most decent lawyers will have nothing to do it. This is not my experience in two years or so of family law, working for both mothers and fathers. The reason most lawyers hate family law is because the clients suck. T…	/r/MensRights	13/07/12 02:13 PM
5	Man loses all rights to see his children, sentenced to five years imprisonment after calling judge out on wrongful procedures. Say the same thing about doctors, and you'll get nowhere. Apparently, though, because a lawyer holds your legal future in his hands, rather than your physical future, it's more acceptable to cast aspersions on them as a "cartel," or a "guild" - like it's an organized conspiracy to keep those perfectly capable, perfectly rational non-bar-passing individuals from the raw power that is an ABA membership card. A licensing requirement is not the same thing as a "guild cartel." The fact is that the la…	/r/MensRights	13/07/12 04:19 AM
14	Man loses all rights to see his children, sentenced to five years imprisonment after calling judge out on wrongful procedures. It's not about the law's complexity (at least, not solely). It's also because you are not a rational advocate for your own case, you're too wrapped up in it. The whole point of getting a lawyer is getting someone who can see the forest through the trees, and knows which battles to pick, and can fight them unemotionally.	/r/MensRights	12/07/12 10:19 PM
