| 1 | Most men would cheat if given the opportunitySo you're basically saying women are exposed to more temptation than men, rather than being a self control issue? The problem is, you've come to this conclusion in the context of a woman's dating perspective, what represents an opportunity, and it's associated temptation. Women are approached and presented with an opportunity, whereas men do the approaching, opportunity created from the existence of someone you are attracted to. From dating app data, men find around 60% of women attractive, wher… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/08/26 07:25 AM |
| 2 | Most men would cheat if given the opportunityI am curious why a lot of these takes are this way. IMO, they put men in a pretty bad light but that's a whole other conversation. I think it normalizes these ideas, because most responses seem to have accepted elements of, if not the whole post, even though research doesn't support any of the OP's claims. The OP claims research indicates opportunity as the leading cause with no references, because research actually points to relationship disconnect from feeling neglected, undesirable. If someon… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/08/26 03:38 AM |
| 2 | Most men would cheat if given the opportunityThat paper has been discredited by multiple institutions with differing faults in the methodology, sample formation and and it's size. This article sums up the criticism and why it points to intentional manipulation of the results. Their survey answers were a yes/no 1-5 scale with no represented twice, yet they didn't accept one of the no's because of hyperbole. Why would they think recruiting a number of former perpetrators to participate in a sample of only 86, and it would have no influence o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/08/26 12:35 AM |
| 1 | Just wowYeah, I'm not really convinced on the chemical psychosis connection, but the court is and was just thinking how does that case present in govt stats. If there's a column for alcohol related incidents but not weed, the focus is on alcohol. And if women are far more likely to be charged with manslaughter where men get murder, there will be over representation of men as violent when only looking the murder rate. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 05/08/26 06:50 AM |
| 4 | This is why we say all men.People are saying it's not a double standard because they're not both jokes. Suggesting they are, would work if instead of a report on the military introducing a new medical screening procedure, the story was a soldier that drugged his wife, tied her to their bed to torture and mutilate her. He then took a bat to her legs in case she gets free of the ties, hacks at her genitalia, removing considerable tissue he would go on to destroy in the garbage disposal.

| 1 | Just wowI mean, I've never heard of weed killing anyone. In a way it's analogous to female violence. There's no data collected/tracked, no public awareness campaigns, relatively complicated to attribute as cause or contributing factor. Then when it is found to be responsible in a case, how does it show up in crime stats, thinking of the woman who stabbed her boyfriend 108 times, sentenced to 100 hours community service. They don't seem to initiate broader public debate/awareness though. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 05/08/26 02:53 AM |
| 5 | Example of societal conditioning: Every single Film critique of "Midsommar" describes a normal guy as a "scumbag boyfriend"That's why she was so susceptible to indoctrination by the Hårga, because it offered the community and empathy she was starved of. Dani isn't indoctrinated and is the only one who recognises the danger they're in after witnessing the Attestupa's casual violence, there were no hypothetical's or ceremonial element to the rituals, or rule breaking consequences.

| 26 | Example of societal conditioning: Every single Film critique of "Midsommar" describes a normal guy as a "scumbag boyfriend"I think the level of social conditioning was a shock to those that worked on the film also, their responses in early interviews suggested audiences/critics had overlooked or missed the subtext. Ari Aster seems perplexed by this reviewers take on the films ending in this interview, appearing dejected, not bothering to try and answer. Another example was in a Q&A with Aster and the cast after an early screening; "when Reynor got the mic, he had a question for the crowd. “How many of you think Chri… | /r/MensRights | 01/08/26 09:30 PM |
| 7 | People who don't know what a horror movie is think Bear not the Wish Willow is the villain of Obsession.It's like how a significant portion of the Midsommar audience focus on the relationship aspect over the white supremacist cult. Authoritarian, obsessed with eugenics, rituals, and casual violence, either doesn't register or is overlooked, some people even see them as benevolent. It takes place in a camp, where those seen of no value, that can't or won't meet the cults requirements, are drugged, humiliated and then burnt together, a Holocaust allegory exploring propaganda's impact on society. | /r/EverydayMisandry | 06/07/26 02:57 AM |

It was only a few months back that there was extensive global press coverage of the tea app hack, that leaked pretty much everything, posts, DM's pic attachments and users ID's for verification, and over the years individual AWDTSG groups have been leaked and reported as harmful, for instance this ex husbands murder, instances … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/07/26 09:59 PM |

It's surprising how many people haven't heard of it as it was only a few months back that there was extensive press coverage of the tea app hack, that leaked pretty much everything, posts, DM's pic attachments and users ID's for verification.

| 1 | What everyday disadvantages of feminism do you experience?At least this is a good demonstration of my point though, well documented historical actions that harmed other groups in society are censored because the mention of those actions in response to a question on how an ideology disadvantages certain groups, is more damaging than acknowledging they took place with a significant impact on society. Shouldn't the OP be removed for race baiting, as answering the question involves addressing actions/ideology involving race. Essentially you're saying the O… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/06/26 06:06 PM |

| – | What everyday disadvantages of feminism do you experience?Depending on the country you're in, a disadvantage would be historical revisionism. In the UK most of the benefits you've listed, women have been experiencing for centuries or before the feminist movement, except for the vote, misrepresented as universal suffrage which would take another decade.

| 1 | Go bag and DNA tests are equivalentOvarian cancer is the most fatal, and second most common, gynecological cancer. It's a matter of life and death. Right I'm asking you, with the caveat that there's no reason to suspect you secretly have ovaries. You are entirely sure that you don't have them. Do you fork over $300-$800 to have those non-existent ovaries checked for cancer? As you've used $, I'll assume you're in the a country with a for profit health care system with distinct, unrecognisable characteristics to most of the world.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/26 09:57 PM |
| 1 | Go bag and DNA tests are equivalentAre you reasonably certain that you don't have ovaries? If you are, would you pay $300-$800 to have your ovaries checked? You're consistent in the consequences not being part of the conversation. There's no potential harmful consequence, committed by their partner, or any person at all, to protect themselves from, not a single aspect relates to the OP. Let's say he's aware that his family, through hereditary genetic markers, are at a higher risk of ovarian cancer. His partner has him convinced h… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/06/26 01:45 PM |

Was it through clinical diagnosis, or as there's no one else in the example, they might just believe it to be true. They don't believe it because their partner told them, trusting them fully. Is a completely separate discussion. John and Jane only fit the OP if John is insisting on a paternity test and Jane feels mistrusted as a result.

Having a go bag does not prevent him from punching you tomorrow. Having a go bag solely serves to make evacuating easier and safer. Having a vehicle would also serve to make evacuating easier and safer. We wouldn't say that having a car will protect you from him. That would be silly.

| 1 | Go bag and DNA tests are equivalentNo. They get it to mitigate the damage if the worse case scenario were to happen. Just like a go bag, which serves to mitigate the immediate burden associated with evacuating one's home. Neither "protect" anyone, in the most direct sense. They don't prevent the bad thing. They just soften the ultimate outcome if it happens. A go bag like you're saying, is to evacuate at speed, protecting yourself from imminent danger.

Still an appropriate measure to take. The parents don't get the Narcan to protect them from severe harm enacted by their teen. The teen can feel offended but I wouldn't say it was inappropriate. The parents decision is to protect the teen, which they have a legal/parental responsibility to do so. The test isn't preventative. It's diagnostic.

In the testing scenario, there's some level of suspicion inspiring the insistence on the test, which they might feel is inappropriate. The parents have decided it's worth offending their teen if it protects their child and by extension themselves from something they might do. A DNA test prevents an emergency resulting from something that has already happened. Patern… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/05/26 12:27 AM |
| 1 | Go bag and DNA tests are equivalentNo. The teen would be the other adult who feels mistrusted. In what way mistrusted? They would feel guilt from breaking the trust the parents have in them to do the right thing. The fear they might feel is from being caught, not being hurt by someone. Party A (the parents) does X (obtains Narcan to keep in the house), for reason Y (emergency preparedness based on statistical likelihood) and Party B (the teen) could feel offense. Party A are legally responsible for party B, making a decision that… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/05/26 09:55 AM |

Any examples where someone doesn't feel like they aren't trusted lies outside of the OP and are a separate conversation. You referred to domestic violence and paternity fraud as the fear people were protecting themselves from, which I agree with.

| 2 | Go bag and DNA tests are equivalentAnd it's the segue into dropping the kid - which is what most affected men do. Not only did they just find out mom cheated, but now dad's bailed, so they're stuck with mom, trying to handle it alone along with the rejection. Is there any data to support this?

| 2 | Go bag and DNA tests are equivalentWhat we're discussing are paternity tests initiated by men who've been assigned paternity and suspect fraud. His suspicion is integral. The cause of the suspicion isn't necessarily the relationship they're in, it's the examples where there was no suspicion and the impact on all those involved. In the medical or DNA ancestry examples there was no suspicion so they wouldn't have got a test themselves.

| 1 | Male Nudity / PrivacyI'm in the UK and it's the same sentiment. Campaigns encouraging men to be more proactive are ineffective, talking heads and politicians look at every possibility other than formative healthcare experiences. For someone to be in unwell, or in pain and still be reluctant to seek help, suggests they don't associate healthcare as a positive or even neutral experience. I don't think it's malicious, more clumsy insensitivity, mixed with overfamiliarity they think is helpful. | /r/MensRights | 15/04/26 07:23 AM |

| 1 | Women's shame related to masturbationIt may have been more talked about, but not always positively. Came to make this point, between wet dreams and random erections in school, masturbation was and still is more utility than sexual. I'd say most guys of high school age were far more concerned with avoiding public humiliation and waking up in a mess, erections perceived as a lack of self control, sexual stimulation, rather than an involuntary biological process like a venus fly trap, snapping at the faintest pressure. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/05/24 05:22 PM |

They both use caricatured and over simplistic faux evolutionary examples e.g, women's value is in their purity and service to her man, or men are only violent perpetrators and have no self control. To me they are both equally ridiculous and I really believe the large majority of men a… | /r/MensRights | 17/02/24 04:08 AM |
| 2 | I don't believe the majority of women prefer average sized penisesExactly this, I always find it weird that people associate body insecurities with sex rather than societal pressure/expectations. Even if penis size is irrelevant in the act of sex, culturally it's definitely a negative, used as a common comedic film and TV trope, or to ridicule and humiliate someone. Celebs regularly shame ex partners size on social media, and the press rather than calling out the behaviour, the penis size alone deemed of public interest and worthy of publishing. LDE is an insu… | /r/ExRedPill | 11/02/24 12:44 PM |
| 2 | Women are upset that Aussie men have stopped approaching themYeah it's a bit heavy handed and only seems to serve a small group. Just a shame that there's so much mistrust and like you say, a tendency to view the other sex as one homogenous group. Maybe it's because subcultures and linking a sense of identity to them isn't as prevalent as it used to be. When I was younger, subcultures connected people through common beliefs, attitudes and music, more important than gender difference. Through fashion, there was a visible separation of these groups in socie… | /r/MensRights | 10/02/24 07:27 PM |
| 4 | Women are upset that Aussie men have stopped approaching themYeah it only takes a couple of publicised examples and it has already produced the desired effect, men leaving women alone. Social norms have been superseded by the threat of criminal charges and even though the possibility is remote, why risk it when apps and online dating provide that initial interaction. I don't think we'll see that wave either, as data shows men are avoiding social interactions in general. One woman's run of the mill unwanted advances could be another's emotional harassment,… | /r/MensRights | 10/02/24 04:06 PM |
| 3 | Women are upset that Aussie men have stopped approaching themThis all makes sense to me, apart from the fact they all seem genuinely confused and shocked by this cultural shift, unaware of new laws or changes to existing legislation, words now included as SA, intoxication the sole responsibility of the man and the ability to retroactively withdraw consent at a later date, represent the possibility of criminal charges as a sex offender, on the interpretation and whim of a stranger. That's a lot at stake to all likely be rejected. Those women who like being… | /r/MensRights | 10/02/24 02:52 PM |
| 2 | Healthcare women receive vs men.Just to add another perspective rarely acknowledged when discussing why men avoid medical intervention. Early experiences for boys and girls differ immensely, girls treated with care and concern to preserve modesty, by a medical professional of the same sex. In contrast, take for instance sports physicals, likely a boys first experience of healthcare/medicine. Forced nudity in front of multiple people, usually all women, with no sense of care or thought for how they're feeling, treating it as ha… | /r/MensRights | 10/02/24 08:50 AM |
| 1 | "Men's greatest fear in pursuing relationship with a woman is that he will be laughed at or rejected. Women's greatest fear is that she will be physically harmed-raped-killed." -Thoughts?Just to add, men being raped by women, isn't recognised by law, so there is another huge gap in data there | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/01/24 08:32 PM |
| 5 | Why is emasculation played for jokes in the media and how is it affecting society's view of masculinity?One observation I've noticed, there is an ever constant flow of articles where journalists and scientists can't work out why men aren't happy with their bodies/penis size, but at the same time, nearly every scenario in film and television where a guy ends up naked he's being ridiculed mercilessly and ends up humiliated. It's not hard to see where that connection for youngsters is made. | /r/MensRights | 12/01/24 04:03 AM |
