| 1 | Why should "consent to sex isn't consent to Parenthood" only apply to women?For you, it would okay if a man took whatever precautions he thought necessary? Of course I'd be okay with him suggesting precautions, but that's not the same thing as agreeing to participate in those precautions. If a man suggested something that doesn't work for me, I wouldn't get angry about it. I'd understand, but it would mean that we're fundamentally incompatible. On the flipside, a guy should understand if I (or any other woman) reject their solution. Relationships are a negotiation. That… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/26 03:42 PM |
| 2 | Why should "consent to sex isn't consent to Parenthood" only apply to women?You could see it that way if you want to. For me, it's more a recognition that shit happens, people change their minds, and sometimes their response to a situation is completely different to how they THOUGHT they'd respond to a situation. (Such as someone thinking they would/could abort, but deciding they can't do it once they're actually pregnant.) Which is fine - no need for judgment because we're all guilty of this to some extent - but if you absolutely do NOT want to be responsible for a pre… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/01/26 05:51 AM |
| 2 | Why should "consent to sex isn't consent to Parenthood" only apply to women?creates resentment in men because it becomes this thing that they can't control They can control it - they just don't like how they can control it. (Don't ejaculate inside a woman's body under any condition unless you're willing to unconditionally accept responsibility for a pregnancy.) It's just like...most people don't get behind the wheel of a car with any intention of having a car accident - and we do our best to avoid car accidents. But we all know and understand that if we (or a malfunctio… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/26 10:47 PM |
| 1 | Why should "consent to sex isn't consent to Parenthood" only apply to women?Why is the man not given an equal choice? He is. Reproductive agency is tied to bodily autonomy for both genders. Everybody's reproductive agency ends once their reproductive contribution exits their body. If you choose to ejaculate inside a woman, you've legally tied your consent to whatever she decides, because it's no longer about your body - it's about hers. Just like, once the baby leaves her body, she no longer has agency over that baby's "right to live." Arguments about failed contracepti… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 29/01/26 10:20 PM |

| 11 | If you hate women nagging about cleanliness, just date slobs.My brother is a clean freak. When he's single, he scrubs and organizes his apartment like a man gone mad. But the moment he gets a live-in girlfriend (or for the 9 months he lived with me), he turns into an entitled, lazy-ass mo-fo who takes no accountability for living in a household. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/08/25 05:15 PM |
| 1 | When times are hard financially for women, Why do they choose to be sex workers instead of moving in with one single wealthy man?Because sex workers aren't subject to their clients' whims once they're "off the clock." They can even indulge in romantic/sexual relationships they ENJOY when they're not working. In contrast, a professional girlfriend/wife would always be "on the clock" with an expectation of monogamy. No time off - no reprieve - from a tedious and extremely pandering customer service job. So it boils down to autonomy and freedom. (Shocking, I know!) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/25 06:11 AM |

All the reasons behind that warning apply to financial dependence on a romantic partner. But more specifically: Emotional/relationship problems can leave you financially fucked You have fewer options/opportunities to leave an unhappy or abusive situation When someone has financial leverage over you, they have relational leverage (power dynamics) This makes you more likely to capitulate when you don't want to (contrived s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 28/05/25 04:03 PM |

| 1 | The orgasm gap is because women genuinely need fantasy level attraction towards the man they’re having sex with and physical stimulationThe data is a little murky though. No, it's not murky - it's consistent with what I'm saying. The high Beta Error (0.5) for women cumming during/after the man's orgasm means there's a 50/50 chance male attractiveness actually has no effect on women who have to "work" for their orgasm - which makes sense because the dude can manually or orally finish her off, or she can finish herself off. The -0.06 Beta Error is for total female orgasms and women who orgasm BEFORE the man. In other words, male a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/25 06:36 PM |

The correlations are stronger, too. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513811000250 For the record, I don't deny that lusty attraction is more subjective and personality-nuanced than OP wants to claim - even the second study shows how lengthier relationships also c… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/25 03:50 PM |

| – | People still hugely conflate bio essentialism with objectification.I can make this super simple for you OP. Taking a shit is the most natural thing in the world. It goes beyond a biological drive - it's a physical need for survival. If we don't do it, we die. If we ignore the defecation urge when it strikes, we can end up constipated, which leads to discomfort, hemorrhoids, and fissures. Nobody on this planet would seriously condemn another human for needing to shit or excusing themselves to take a shit. But pretty much everybody (except certain fetishists) con… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/05/25 03:51 AM |
| 1 | Men who were clear and consistent about not wanting kids are no morally different than sperm donors to me.Under most government systems, reproductive responsibilities are non-transferrable. PERIOD. (Apart from adoption or a court-approved forfeiture of parental rights.) Legally, there's an unspoken "no verbal agreement shall void or modify the terms and conditions" clause when it comes to parental responsibilities, so you still own full responsibility when you trust someone else with your reproductive rights. To which people might say, "I didn't know that!" Well, the law has an answer for that, too:… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 02/04/25 07:46 PM |
| 1 | I think there needs to be reforms in the paternity systemWhen it comes to reproductive responsibilities, everybody's consent is restricted to the confines of their bodily autonomy. For women, that just so happens to come later in the process than it does for men. (From a legal standpoint, sperm ejaculated into a fertile lady = baby exiting the vagina.) For both genders, our options stop when they overlap with someone else's bodily autonomy - which is where the debate about abortion comes in. (Is the fetus a person and does its rights override the woma… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/04/25 04:44 PM |
| 1 | Are you really "doing it for yourself"?I presume you would agree that women have an artistic sense, just as men do? (Hopefully so.) So now, having an artistic sense typically means they're going to have a taste for beauty, no? (I mean, why else would someone have knick-knacks, artwork, plants, pretty bedspreads, matching towel sets around their house/room/apartment? Do you honestly think these folks are decorating for other people or for themselves?) Well, why wouldn't that desire to ENJOY a beautiful environment include yourself?

| 13 | Q4W: What is a creep?It's pretty simple. Anytime you escalate your presence someone's physical or social bubble without invitation and beyond what you'd do for a random stranger that you're not attracted to...you're crossing a boundary. Why is that? Because you're assuming (or hoping for) retroactive permission to change the social contract by promoting your intimacy privileges. Case in point, I had a friendly chat with a male customer the other day. There wasn't even any flirting. He came back the next day and afte… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/10/24 01:23 PM |
| 5 | Rejecting anyone for any reason is fine, the end, dating is inherently selfish, discriminatory and judgemental.This is true. It's one thing to warn my nieces or nephew about the potential pitfalls and losses of excessive shallowness, because I have no dog in that fight - other than caring about their happiness. I don't get angry if they ignore me because those are their choices to make. It's their lives, their consequences...for better or worse. But as soon as someone goes off on a judgemental or embittered rant about other people's standards, you know you're dealing with someone who's trying to psycholo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/10/24 12:53 AM |
| 1 | Would you be with someone after your partner sacrifice their life for you?Most people aren't thinking they'll die when they try to save someone else. They have some sense of efficacy. Example: If I tackle the shooter, I can overpower him. More often than not, they save on reflex - no thought at all. Example: Pushing someone out of the way instead of running yourself. But let's say none of these things are true - someone gets the opportunity to weigh the cost-benefits of saving a "loved" one. There's a big difference between making a choice to avoid emotional loss and … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/24 06:20 PM |

| 1 | Why do we men have to lie about loving the way she is?Because your explanation is bullshit. You're not breaking up with her because you love her and care about her wellfare. You're breaking up with her because you don't want to fuck her anymore. It's fine to want what you want in a romantic relationship...but don't play the hero and try to gaslight her into believing that your fair-weather affection and cruelty are for her own good. Fuck off with that abusive, narcissistic pomposity. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/08/24 03:56 PM |
| 12 | Why might women be so averse to using female (internal) condoms?Uterine and small bowel perforation are risk factors for IUD devices. Pelvic inflammatory disease and infection are other potential side effects. (Basically, things that can cause permanent infertility or even death if left untreated.) They can also spontaneously eject from the uterus without detection. These things are statistically "rare" (1 in 1000 chance for perforation), but why choose something with any risk when you choose something with no risk? Such as a condom? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/08/24 02:16 AM |
| 4 | Isn’t it immature and weird for a woman to be turned off by a man voicing his sexual desires first instead of physically trying them?OP straight up says he thinks women shouldn't be offended when random men approach them start spew vulgarity at them. (Chopped up and emphasized for easy reading.) Note: I’m not saying it’s ok to continue to be sexually vulgar verbally if someone isn’t receptive to your first advance. But I also don’t see the issue with initially saying some freaky shit. If you don’t like it, just be like ew sorry I don’t want you no need to get offended and all this men aren’t shit stuff.

That version of romantic love you're talking about? It doesn't stick around. Even in the best relationships, it starts to fade after x amount of time. (6 months-2 years) It's called New Relationship Energy. So if your happiness and sense of purpose are based strictly on NRE...guess what? Eventually you'll be back to feeling like your life is empty, has no meaning, blah, blah, blah IN SPITE of being in a LTR.

Sorry buddy. That's still rape. It falls under coercion. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/07/24 02:00 PM |
| 3 | How I see this all playing out if sexuality isn’t suppressed.OP's solution is in the post: ENFORCED monogamy. Sexual Marxism backed with regulation. In other words, nobody gets laid outside of a singular marriage. Restricted (or non-existent) divorce. Problem is, OP also claims he doesn't want to "force" women to be with guys they're not attracted to, but that's exactly what enforced monogamy would require to accomplish what OP wants.

There will always be a hierarchy of reshuffling winners and losers even if men have objectively raised the floor.How about human beings should offer general respect to each other? The problem with insisting that women should specifically "respect" men is because of the sheer mass of gendered disrespect women receive from men ALL the fucking time. Even the way men disparage each other by comparing them to women or women's reproductive bits. ("Don't be a girl/bitch/pussy." "Grow some balls."

| 4 | Do you think that creepiness is subjective or objective?One element of creepiness is ignoring social cues, context, boundaries, discomfort, lack of interest, etc. It's basically about not respecting another person's physical and/or psychological space. It's tangential to consent. So by it's very definition, if someone doesn't WANT your attention, presence, or behavior and you ignore that...then you're creepy. Now sure, your behavior might be creepy to Person X because they're not attracted to you, but Person Y has no problem with it because they thin… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/07/24 05:13 AM |

Mine is: "behaving in a way that's consistent with who you really are, what you really want, and how you really feel."

Not at all. People who want authenticity are people who want connection from their relationships. If you're inauthentic, then so is the connection.

But they also block and avoid well-meaning female friends who dont see them in a romantic lightNah, when a woman says, "I don't see you like that," she's plainly saying that she doesn't find you physically attractive.

But here's where women are coming from with "the woods" scenario (quoteblock just for readability): Women are presuming "the woods" is a la… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/06/24 01:14 PM |
| 1 | Do you consider the current dating model to be sustainable? (includes religious tangent)I mean, certainly - organized religion is an easy tool for cultural control over a population's behaviors. It's a low-fi Matrix. It's not specific to creating sexual socialism, though. There are polygynous and even polyandrous religions, which simply provide spiritual rationalizations for sexual capitalism. Even the Biblical text of "Be fruitful and multiply" was directed at Noah, who had 4 wives. lol If you're referring to the Catholic Church, however...then yes. It's possible they specifically… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/24 06:41 AM |

Naivete and stupidity are two different things. The first is a lack of wisdom (life experience), the second is insufficient intelligence (cognitive function). So when people take issue with age-gap relationships, they’re not declaring the younger partner stupid (unable to make reasonable choices when it comes to career, politics, or contracts) - they’re declaring the … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 06/06/24 04:48 AM |
| 1 | I don't buy the narrative that single, childless women are the happiest groupAssuming that only 1 group would lie on self-report measures as copium for regret is what the scientific community calls: COGNITIVE BIAS. That said, I guess it's good that we have molecular biology to back up what women are self-reporting. Motherhood ages a woman's DNA by as much as 11 years in comparison to the DNA of a childless woman. The telomere shortening was greater than that you would find with obesity or smoking. https://www.newsweek.com/having-children-could-literally-shorten-womens-li… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/06/24 08:50 PM |
| 2 | To the men here who believe relationships = friendships + sexPosting under AutoMod because I'm a woman. Friendship vs [FWB & Romantic Relationship] usually boils down to one thing: the presence or absence of mutual sexual attraction FWB vs Romantic Relationship will usually boil down to one of 2 things: a higher degree of sexual attraction and limerence = romantic relationship a higher degree of lifestyle compatability = LT romantic relationship (I'm emphasizing usually because there can be other circumstances, such as timing, at play.)

| – | Would you rather date someone based on how they think, or what they do?I think I get what you're trying to ask... Maybe you adore somebody's creativity (thinking), but they're a slob at home (doing). Reverse: they're super clean and do chores, but they never think about anything new. They're a lot of fun to BE with (thinking/conversation), but they can't hold a job (doing). Reverse: they're a leader in their field with good income, but they're a dullard to be with. They have a strong sense of integrity (thinking), but they pick their nose (doing). Reverse: No disgu… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/06/24 08:53 PM |
| 18 | What should men do to vet if a woman is safe to be vulnerable with?Even more specifically - watch how they treat other people when there's no benefit to them and they don't think anyone else is watching. Or, watch how they treat other people when shit's hitting the fan in their life. How much pressure does it take for them to become impatient? How impatient do they get? Do they turn cruel or contemptuous? How quickly do they catch themselves, take genuine ownership, and apologize? (This advice goes for men or women, BTW.) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/05/24 04:55 PM |
| 2 | doing "hobbies" together?They're talking about activites you can either bond over with common understanding and/or actively having fun together while doing it. For example: You both might be athletes who compete in different sports, but you still share an understanding of the other person's competitive psychology and feel a connection to them because of that bond. You go to each other's events whenever possible and genuinely ENJOY being there - it's not just a begruding obligation. Another example: You're both foodies, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/05/24 06:39 PM |
| 1 | Why do Reddit mods ban you for making “offensive generalizations” that are well documented in science? Or reddit gets grumpy about this in general.Heh. Say you don't know how to read a study without saying you don't know how to read a study. We are not able to resolve these complexities here. They can't draw a reasonable conclusion. In addition, despite our efforts to remove the confound of socialization between women and men by looking at within-sex differences, our measures may capture environmental differences among women and among men beyond those based on biology. It's possibly due to socialization after all. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/05/24 03:33 AM |
| 2 | Is it considered cheating if there was never an explicit conversation about being exclusive/monogamous ?I think it's one of those things where you KNOW some people might assume exclusivity (even though they shouldn't) - so I still think it's a shady "technicality" to rely on "don't ask, don't tell." It's like picking up dinner for yourself on the way home, but not getting any for your spouse because they never explicitly stated beforehand, "If you're ever picking up food on the way home, text me to see if I want anything!" Maybe they won't care, but it's common sense that they MIGHT. So why be a j… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/24 06:51 PM |
| – | why are negative generalizations of women received poorly?If by "population data" you mean the population of OKCupid users - sure. But as far as trying to generalize to larger populations, such as US citizens, or humans as a whole - it's data from a self-selecting sample. (Bias alert! Bias alert! External validity / generalizability: debatable.) But as long as we're dredging up this ol' nugget, let's look a little closer... The “most attractive” women receive five times as many messages as the average female does, with 2/3 of all male messages going to… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/05/24 06:26 PM |
| 2 | Relationships are pointless if you EXCLUDE sex or starting a family as the primary reason/motivator (this is my perspective)Oh for Pete's sake. No, the majority of allosexual people would NOT be happy (or stay) in a sexless romantic relationship. But while sex might be necessary for most people, that doesn't mean that it's sufficient for them. A lot of people also want a companionate/transcendant bond - aka love. And for some people, that companionate bond IS sufficient unto itself. (Asexuals, low libidos, partners of those with illness or sexual dysfunctions.) As other posters have already told you 50+ times - there… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/05/24 04:15 PM |

Optimal emotional processing actually enhances our ability to navigate "reality." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2361392/ Going contrary to the popular belief that the “cooler head prevails,” the results of this study make it evident that feelings and emotions experienced during decision making can have positive effects on decision-making performance.

Even a 5-year age gap increase your chance of divorce by 18%. https://purposedrivenlawyers.com/age-gap-and-marriage/#:\~:text=Starting%20with%20a%20reference%20point,the%20risk%20increases%2095%25! | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/24 04:18 PM |
| – | Why should I date a much older man vs a man closer to my age?Sorry, buddy. Biology 101: point mutations and chromosomal abnormalities are more likely to occur and less likely to be corrected in older individuals, whether we're talking mitotic or meiotic cell division. This is why older people are more prone to cancer, and yes - shitty sperm. Furthermore, the mutations and chromosomal abnormalities keep accumulating over time. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31301044/ | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/05/24 04:15 PM |
| 7 | Why do people, especially women, have such a hard-time accepting that humans are also animals?Yep, they want to generalize purely animalistic behavior to humans but ignore the very factors that OBSERVABLY make us different. Then they say they're the "logical" ones. (Dunning-Kruger in full effect.) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 05:30 AM |
| 4 | Why do people, especially women, have such a hard-time accepting that humans are also animals?Evo psych is non-falsifiable. You can twist any scenario to support your hypothesis. There's no way to scientifically test it. Too many confounding variables. Yadda yadda yadda. Also, the plasticity of the human brain and our behavior strongly indicates that a genetic predisposition is NOT fate with regard to behavioral outcomes. (Otherwise, why don't identical twins act...ya know...identically?) Versus evolutionary theory with regard to physiology - there's...ya know...a whole fossil record to … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/05/24 05:23 AM |

| 2 | How important is "feeling masculine" or "feeling feminine" to you?IMO, at it's culturally agnostic core, masculine energy is about acting your will on the world - influencing the external to align with your internal drive/agenda. Conversely, the core of feminine energy is when you release egoic control and let the external world drive your internal experience. Doing laps in a pool = you're in masculine energy Soaking in a hot tub = you're in feminine energy Shaving your legs = masculine (because you're taking action) Enjoying the feeling of having shaved legs … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/04/24 03:22 PM |
| – | Why do women hate nice guys for being fake when women put on makeup every day to fool men into thinking they're more attractive than they actually are?There are definitely women who LOVE doing their makeup, nails, etc. It's a form of artistic expression for them. They legitimately couldn't care less what Random Person X thinks of it. For other women, they might not LOVE doing makeup, they just want to feel pretty or sexy in general (no specific desire to attract men), and wearing makeup helps them feel that way. For yet another group of women, it IS about making their lives easier by meeting social expectations. (Attracting romance, looking mo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/04/24 02:47 PM |
| 2 | Can you prove women's alleged "mental load"?Actually, I just realized in one of the following scenes, they also show the husband practicing his golf swing while the wife's stressed in the background working on their budget or taxes. lol https://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g?t=176 But yeah, "sure" - the phenomenon of women's extra mental load is a new and baseless claim that can't be observed. /s | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/04/24 04:50 AM |
| 2 | Can you prove women's alleged "mental load"?There's a Billy Joel video for his song "We Didn't Start the Fire" where they show a couple going through the different decades. For the 1957 scene, they depict what mental load for a 50's housewife looked like while the man gets to relax. (She's preparing lunch but stops to check hubby's progress on a hobby, she checks if a kid is hungry, she burns herself cooking dinner, and works on a bratty teen's dress.) Then they show the wife popping some good pills to cope, because as a few other people … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/04/24 04:40 AM |
| 3 | Fear mongering women over “dying alone”When a taxi cab's light is off, the best customers/biggest tippers in the world won't get a ride from that cab. When a taxi cab's light goes on, the very first suitable customer will get a ride - big tipper or not. Taxi light theory says that a man's desire to commit is internally driven. If his light is "OFF", he won't commit even if he's in the best relationship of his life. But when his light goes "ON", he'll settle down with his first reasonable match, even if the relationship isn't as great… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/04/24 05:27 PM |
