| 17 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?I notice that you suggest different strategies for men and women. Could you please explain why you think abused women should leave their relationships, but abused men should stay and fight back? And I'm sorry, but I completely and fundamentally disagree with you. I think emotional abuse is completely unacceptable regardless of the state of the relationship and gender of the abuser and victim. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 02:15 PM |
| 19 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?I see. Apologies in advance if this sounds confrontational (I honestly mean it as a straightforward question), but do you think getting more frequent sex from your partner justifies psychologically traumatising them (with the associated risks of depression, anxiety, and PTSD? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 01:27 PM |
| 16 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?What do you mean by "results"? What problems are solved through emotional manipulation? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 01:10 PM |
| 34 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?Personally, I'd argue that all people are like that. Every single human being is prone to cognitive errors, biased attitudes, and yes, emotional manipulation to varying degrees. The correct way to deal with this is, like you said, to recognise and fight against these problems. It is not, in my opinion, to make sweeping generalisations or to ramp up your own harmful behaviours as a misguided tit-for-tat. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 06:15 AM |
| 4 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?Thank you, that's indeed a much better comparison. That said, I still think it oversimplifies the situation (as analogies often do). Domestic abuse frequently involves complex emotional and social manipulation that gradually breaks down the victim's ability to realise they're being mistreated, or if they do realise it, to leave. It can turn a person who would strongly object to having their wallet raided by a partner into a person who quietly accepts it because they've been convinced that it's t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 06:08 AM |
| 6 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?Just curious, how would you define "the upper hand in a relationship"? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 03:44 AM |
| 14 | RPW and TRP: Article favorably compares techniques of abusers with PUA/TRP techniques. What do you think about this?Interesting analogy, but I disagree. Trusting McDonald's staff and customers to look after your money is definitely unreasonable. Trusting your initially charming and loving partner not to abuse you, on the other hand, is pretty standard and rational in my eye. Do you oppose, say, a woman being financially dependent on her husband on the grounds that she's giving him "unchecked power" over her? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/09/14 03:04 AM |
