| – | What if men were shown more compassion?I agree that men show compassion differently and show it to other men readily (in our way). But this is a "what if" discussion. So what if society and women were able to feel compassion toward men and express it in a way men can more readily accept? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 10:13 PM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?Why would you think so? Nothing in this thread, and especially not from me, would give that impression. I'm an old dude and happily married. Just see my grandsons suffering a lot. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 05:11 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?We've been conditioned to think these differences are only due to socialization. But biology/psychology are a factor as well. Denying that fact, I think, underlies a lot of our current gender war. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 05:09 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?How so? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 05:03 AM |
| 0 | What if men were shown more compassion?The world didn't start in 1950. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 05:01 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?There are a few here who just seem to derive pleasure from emotionally abusing men. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 04:54 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the same thing the red pillers say. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/09/25 04:50 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?So incapable of compassion toward men. Check. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 02:07 AM |
| – | What if men were shown more compassion?Then you're doomed. The remnant will take up the old ways again. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 02:05 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?What do you think my actual question is? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 02:01 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?If you're curious about what I mean, scroll through the thread to find the chatgpt response I posted. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:57 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?You can say RETVRN, son, but you're still stuck in the feminist frame. Men and women weren't in competition. They were united as a family against starvation and death. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:54 AM |
| – | What if men were shown more compassion?It's not spam. It's an artifact. And it directly answers the question you keep pretending to have. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:51 AM |
| -3 | What if men were shown more compassion?No. It's literally wired into our DNA. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:43 AM |
| 4 | What if men were shown more compassion?Of course they do. But should more. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:42 AM |
| – | What if men were shown more compassion?This ChatGPT response frames it well: You said: Are men shown compassion? ChatGPT said: Yes, men are shown compassion — but less consistently, less openly, and under more restrictive conditions than women. Why That Is Biology Compassion reflexes are strongest toward helplessness (infants, visible weakness). Men’s distress often doesn’t display in those ways. Evolutionary “expendability bias”: groups could survive with fewer men but not fewer women, tilting instinctive compassion toward women/chi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:41 AM |
| 5 | What if men were shown more compassion?Passive aggressive or sealioning. Pick one. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:40 AM |
| -1 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the core. Women used to understand, appreciate, and support men in their struggles and pain (i.e. when we had real families). It would be nice to return to that as well. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:39 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?Really? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:37 AM |
| 4 | What if men were shown more compassion?Life. Pain. Suffering. Specific to men: the burden of disposability and having to earn worth | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:34 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?No you're not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:32 AM |
| 6 | What if men were shown more compassion?Like their wives, they worked their lives away and sacrificed for their families. Often died for them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:28 AM |
| 3 | What if men were shown more compassion?Agreed(ish). But wouldn't it be nice if they were? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:23 AM |
| 6 | What if men were shown more compassion?MRAs essentially tried to draw attention to certain systemic abuses against men (e.g. men receiving much longer prison sentences than women for the same crimes) by just switching out 'women' for 'men' in the feminist script. They expected to receive compassion and help but became social pariahs. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:20 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?Hmm. To be more clear: men expect to not receive compassion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:12 AM |
| -3 | What if men were shown more compassion?Good question. Probably not the kind of soothing and validation that compassion for women and children results in. Probably closer to the literal meaning ("suffer with"). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:11 AM |
| 0 | What if men were shown more compassion?Men don't expect compassion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:07 AM |
| 12 | What if men were shown more compassion?There is zero compassion in the "toxic masculinity" narrative. It's the "hysteria" story playing out again, but for men this time. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:04 AM |
| – | What if men were shown more compassion?That's what this thread is about, right? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:03 AM |
| 8 | What if men were shown more compassion?I'm a fair dude. And honey catches more flies than vinegar. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:02 AM |
| 5 | What if men were shown more compassion?Mostly social conditioning and lack of male-only spaces. I suspect. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 01:01 AM |
| 0 | What if men were shown more compassion?Obviously not. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:57 AM |
| 8 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's not a very fair view of women's conditioning (or pain). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:56 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?Well, you're definitely one data point here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:51 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?I'm not talking about any specific man or type of man. I'm talking about the natural difference we all experience in feeling compassion for men in general and women in general. See the ChatGPT response in this thread to see more clearly what I'm really asking about. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:49 AM |
| -6 | What if men were shown more compassion?Women ARE special (and rightfully so). They receive compassion (more) readily from men, women, and society than men do. The question is, what if it was as natural for us to feel and give compassion for men. See the ChatGPT post I posted in response to 'MyLastBestChance' to see what I mean. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:47 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?Interesting. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:43 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?Same. So I'm not understanding the thrust of your comments. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:42 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?You have the wrong flair. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:39 AM |
| 10 | What if men were shown more compassion?That kind of female-coded male advocacy has had precisely the opposite effect. Few are held in more contempt than MRAs and incels. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:37 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?Of course. Like I said, it's the IF I'm asking about here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:35 AM |
| 8 | What if men were shown more compassion?Compassion literally means "suffer with." You can read it as "join in the struggle," if it helps. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:32 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's what underlies my question. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:30 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?If women find a man to be worthy of compassion they don't find them repulsive. That IF is the underlying question here. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:28 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?Are there suffering/struggling people that you don't have compassion for? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:27 AM |
| 2 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the "spirit" of the question. It's more succinct than I could write myself. What would it look like? Compassion is a feeling right? The question is, if what's described here were recognized and overcome somehow (how?), what would result? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:24 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the "spirit" of the question. It's more succinct than I could write myself. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:22 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the easy part. What about society? And women? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:20 AM |
| 12 | What if men were shown more compassion?And society? Women? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:19 AM |
| – | What if men were shown more compassion?Nope. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:18 AM |

| – | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the most a troll gets from me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:09 AM |
| 1 | What if men were shown more compassion?I do not. But I also know the stakes are much less life-and-death now. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:08 AM |
| 0 | What if men were shown more compassion?How would you suggest overcoming the nature/nurture dynamics that weigh against those outcomes? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/09/25 12:00 AM |
| 9 | What if men were shown more compassion?"Women will follow suit." I'm doubtful of that. Do you think it's natural for women to feel compassion for men's struggles (at least as compared to those of women)? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/25 11:58 PM |
| 3 | What if men were shown more compassion?That's the "biological/evolutionary" factor, yes. Is it still true in the soft environment we now exist in? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/25 11:57 PM |
| – | What if men were shown more compassion?Shh. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/09/25 11:46 PM |
| 1 | American Psychological Association, Guidelines for Treating Boys and MenThe guidelines are full of ideological narrative, not "expert psychological research." It's an utter disgrace that it's still in force 9 years after being published. | /r/ExRedPill | 29/05/25 12:44 AM |
| 1 | Let's talk some more about the APA's guideline on boys and men?The six-author ideological diatribe published in response is quite hilarious. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 29/05/25 12:39 AM |
