“Traditionally, the irony is that men only made ourselves particularly useful in the sphere of financial security but women don’t need that anymore”. I think your concept holds the basis of one of the challenges. The reality is however that modern society is much more favourable to a two income household so there is still definitely scope there. Is it perhaps worth exploring why it is so challenging for both men and women to envision harmony within relationships when both are holding responsibil…

Interesting comment, I agree. But you can also take it one step even further. Gender roles/expectations are taught within the family. The family tends to teach/reinforce the expectation of society, it’s kind of a feed back loop. Families are no longer in the business of raising their female children to be primarily wives and mothers for other families anymore. If anything it is an afterthought. Those grandmothers/mothers are well aware of the benefit of this in terms of life outcomes. There is a…

Don’t you find it ironic that your description is very similar to how single mothers are treated as well? The only difference that I can see in your description is that single mothers are treated less kindly younger as it is activated with the birth rather than age.

Interesting. Are you offended that I did not complete the task that he wish to allocate me? Is it because you feel that the result of the task was so insightful that I somehow rudely robbed him of a “win”? If so, I’m sorry you feel that way and I apologise. That was not my intention, I simply did not see any value in the task as most things can be found in the internet if you look hard enough and therefore I did not see the point. Oh, and to some degree I also could not be bothered… If my apolog…

You don’t get to assign me homework son. It’s not even good nor interesting homework. There is many “public figures” advocating for men to access services, to reduce or eliminate stigma and reduce structural barriers (for people in general) to address things beyond his (or her) control. Such examples are drug and alcohol services, general health services, homelessness services and mental health services. I guess they are not exciting enough public figures for you?

“He is clearly referring to what is culturally and societally acceptable to criticize” Exactly, you answered the question. OP is overall in his post suggesting the some sexual behaviour (which he deems as negative) somehow falls outside male preferences/standards and therefore he would like to advocate for “men” to be able to have those preferences and standards validated. Notice that he does not advocate for men to hold just any individual preferences or standards, he definitely alludes to pref…

Would you mind expanding a little on this comment “social structure is not natural”. I did read your other comments but can’t seem to follow your argument sorry. In contrast to your view, my position on this is that a social structure is entirely natural, it is born out of meeting of the environment and the “natural wiring” (your term used further down) of the animal (in this case the human race) under discussion. As far as I can tell no group living animal escapes this and tends to have a “soci…

It is no longer civil when you try and enforce your wants and needs on others. It is also rude and to some degree threatening as you are deliberately ignoring all indications that they wish to disengage with you.

Yes it can cause issues, but it is also more likely to be a result of issues that are already present. An example of this is a difficult work environment. In a difficult work environment it would not be a surprise that your employees are not interacting with each other smoothly and some are behaving rudely. How would it go if you only started disciplining the rude employees while not improving their work environment? It probably would be ineffective (though you might get a short term minor impro…

I’m not sure you can just lay this at the feet of girls in your community. You are talking about the way community interacts with each other. If the girls in your community don’t interact with the boys in your community then chances are you have a community problem not a girl problem. Is it rude to snub your neighbour within your community? Yes it’s rude. But being polite is not a requirement in an environment where being polite is detrimental to you.

Have you considered that there is a third option? Have you considered that some people are very good at emotional regulation? They are very very good at managing their emotions and how they respond to emotional experiences. When these people “open up” in relationships and share their emotional world it is a vastly different experience for their partners than for someone who is partnered to someone with poor emotional regulation.

You can, that’s true. But personally If I couldn’t establish common ground, trust, security and mutual goals with a person to the level needed for marriage, then there is no way I would progress with having children with them. In reality your children are the inheritors of what remains of your life (wealth, assets) and to a certain degree your parents as well, they are the next generation with your family structure. They are also the next generation within their other biological parent’s family …

Marriage is a social construct. As far as I know there is no “marriage gene”. If there is I apologise however I would like some clarification on how it is being expressed as it appears to be undergoing change rather quickly in evolutionary terms. It’s the old nature vs nurture argument. What is biology and what is environmental/cultural influences.

Yes, 50/50 doesn’t mean it is maintained at 50/50 at all times, it means that across the marriage each person has received about equal experiences from the marriage allowing both of you to achieve things you couldn’t do alone. Achieving some of the bigger goals in life requires enormous support and often sacrifice from your partner, you pay that back when it’s their turn. One of the great sadnesses in marriage is when one partner loses themselves in marriage, their personal goals and dreams are …

There is danger in this kind of thinking because I see many young men take this way of thinking as well. In fact I just read a comment from what I assume is a man just prior to seeing yours.

Generalist degrees are often a foot in the door of white collar employment. They open the door to more specific industry training, internal employment opportunities and c…

You were a suitable candidate to court her with all that this encompassed. Traditionally “encompassed” was huge.

You don’t have to get married. You should not sign any contract, including a Marriage contract, if you don’t like the terms.

Why are you writing nonsense? Her comments are perfectly reasonable common sense advice. Life can be uncertain. It’s best if you are prepared. You can do so by ensuring you have an education, a job and a contingency plan in place. This is general advice that is in no way unusual, controversial or surprising.

Well I think the timing is complicated because I think it’s fair to say that the first 6 weeks of pregnancy may not be detected so the time frame becomes quite a bit shorter. Then there is the contacting of the possible biological male. I don’t automatically have the assumption that that would be straight forward, nor do I automatically have the assumption that there is only one candidate. I’m talking at a policy level of course, at a population level there has to be some allowance for extenuati…

I don’t believe that can be done within the timeframe. If you are seeking and receiving DNA confirmation, and consulting a lawyer (which let’s face it would be wise), and having it submitted and confirmed you are out of time. Any complications like having DNA tested for multiple people to confirm who even has the legal rights to decline, or negotiating parental rights such as co-parenting rights going forward for instance, the timeframe is not there.

Well I guess it gives them all the choice with no down side. Under this idea they can accept a marriage proposal which will place at risk loosing entire control of their child’s legal custody or they can set up home without marriage and retain the entirety of their children’s legal custody no questions asked. The only cost is the possibility of child support from what I can see.

Ok. It seems like a huge loss of rights on the male side of the equation, I’m surprised it comes up as a positive so often in the men’s right circles. Particularly as marriage is so often discussed as a negative.

Thanks for explaining this! Ok, so legally the man involved would not be informed of the pregnancy (unless she wished to negotiate a formal adoption process) and he would not be on the birth certificate. The child would affectively be “blind DNA” (looking for a term here) on the paternal side. The child would not even know who the father was at 18 years potentially. A man would be giving up all claim to his biological offspring.

When thinking about any issue relating to a child once taking abortion off the table (i.e the child will be born) it is much more productive to consider the well being of the child first in terms of policy.

Why do you find it hard to believe? The loss or reduction of the male libido is not an obscure medical condition nor are the causes particularly surprising or rare. This kind of unawareness or lack of education around men’s health is why men don’t respond to medical issues promptly.

Yes! Kind of. I don’t think they were necessarily lies as such, I think that based on the cultural understanding of the prevailing information at the time (regarding the profession of medicine) the conclusion simply made sense. Based on the information available I think I may well have confidently argued that myself at the time and I would have been completely wrong. And yes once again, this is where things get messy. As cultural understanding keeps shifting, the conclusions keep shifting leavin…

“I do also think to an extent there is something innate to them based off our general biological strengths and weaknesses” And here in lies the ultimate problem, it’s so damn hard to predict because it all seems to make so much sense. Let me give you an example using medicine. There was a point in time that the profession believed that women could not be doctors. Biologically they were not suited to it, they simply did not have the intellect amongst other characteristics for the profession. The …

Oh efficient for sure, it had to be. But time consuming nonetheless less. Heating a copper for instance takes time. Stain removal by hand for a uniform for say a mechanic or bleaching for a butcher takes time. Washing was required across all seasons as well, harder in winter to get things dry for instance. Washing and drying wool was also a pain, socks, cardigans, blankets and so on.

It wasn’t so much washing the three outfits you had, but also the whole process around forming/sewing, maintaining and cleaning cloth manually.

I agree with a lot of what you have written, but I do disagree with the concept of a concrete definition of masculinity and femininity, rather I think it shifts in the cultural winds and is very hard to distill down to its core elements with any certainty.

Oh, I really wasn’t thinking about the cost. It was more about individual life goals and there timing. The early to middle 20’s for most people, gender aside, is often about developing as a person.

The family bit is tricky I agree. Expanding down you have a conflict in goals (education, career, travel, timing of children) through in the 20’s. Probably why most people date around similar ages taking that all into account. Dating up could expand your social opportunities though as you pointed out.

Marriage isn’t for everyone, I agree. For some people it seems to work very well. For others it’s a bit of a disaster, but at least it’s not a life sentence. The great thing is that currently it appears that the expectation from the community (as a whole) of people marrying seems to be reducing at a great rate.

Our biology absolutely does not allow us to breath underwater, but we can tolerate living underwater for some time using tech. That should be a very hard stop but it appears that isn’t. Our biology absolutely does not allow us to fly, enter space, in fact anything that excludes the intake of air as a minimum but the human animal is quite bizarre in our level of adap…

Or, there is just some screaming into the void while the fast majority are just getting on with their day adapting as they go. Very little can be achieved with alarmism. It fact, part of dealing with anything that is truly alarming (such as an actual crisis) is separating out the alarmists/people who like to escalate that add unnecessary noise and cause unnecessary panic.

Oh stop it. Society’s are by nature under change. There is people alive today who have witnessed incredible social changes and you will to. The hysteria is boring.

It don’t think either are necessary easier or harder, they are just different. Courting someone is a more deliberate, directed act of undertaking the planning stages for marriage. The process of marrying someone is actually quite a large complex project if done well, and courting has a mutual understanding of the outcome. For instance, a proposal is just a stage in courting, a more formal act of acceptance of offer of marriage and a social declaration of intent. There are many steps before that.…

Socialisation might very well be a key point in the majority of cases. I think you have a point. We, as a society, already put a significant amount of time and resources in trying to address this as it is recognised already as important.

Meh, maybe. I would be a bit hesitant in clamping down on sex within a population when the rates are already sharply dropping however.

Japan is fascinating, it appears that increasingly young people are not having sex in rather large numbers. This is a bit different from just not dating, or willing …

Well I guess massive age gap relationships aren’t that prevalent, and on the occasions that it they do happen, they are not always permanent or problematic.

Are we not seeing this effect play out later in the dating game anyway?

In terms of divorce I think the effect is somewhat minimal: “Divorce.

Oh, your welcome. That goes both ways. Always nice to chat with someone on an interesting topic.

The presence of a certain “fashionable” trait within a population, even if found in a number of locations on a world wide platform, (particularly if it is primarily performed in the upper classes), does not mean it will be practiced across the whole (or even most) of the population.

Sure. But there is also a vast amount of theory suggesting that sex is healthy, great exercise, great stress relief, and great for the mind. It’s almost surreal to think that the just because someone walked down an aisle and signed a piece of paper that it gained all those benefits. Or that because the act was completed with one “special” person it suddenly became a healthy act. There is a huge amount of social construct around sex (other than disease related-health) that can be adjusted.

In fact there are some men that I wouldn’t let lead me through a supermarket let alone through any significant life event. Have you seen how some men “lead” their own lives? Now it goes therefore to follow, that if I would not be willing t…

Thanks for the reply. I’m still not convinced by your statement because I’m still not quite sure what we are measuring in terms of “suffering” and “history of this sort”. I think we are looking at this very differently. For example, if we had a pool of suffering I would like to throw in all current and historical hospital/ER records based on domestic violence and in any way related to marriage or pairing including birth, abortion related, rape (in marriage, external to marriage and dating), but …

I’m not sure what you are saying, apologies. But if you are saying that not pairing up or not marrying is psychologically one, if not the most, damaging in terms of suffering in history? Then I’m not sure really where to go from there. I would be stuck because I would consider your claim to be so outrageous that it would be not worth discussing.

My issue with this is that it truly doesn’t make sense economically. Children are expensive, retirement is expensive, and inheritance is very valuable. For a man to have several wives, all the negatives are hit, while all the positives are a missed. The amount of income that would be needed to house, feed, educate, and launch young adults in the world with advantage, and then support two or three wives through retirement is well out of reach for most, massive compounding compromises would occur …

No, there would have to be a massive cultural shift at a bizarre dystopian level which would definitely not result in a “balanced and fair direction”. The breakdown in any such cultural norms would result in ugly results that almost certainly would not lean towards benefiting the under dog and wouldn’t stop at affecting just one of the sexes. Balanced and fair has never really been a defining characteristic of society anyway. Look at any other access to pretty much anything (food, water, educati…

While I haven’t looked into your argument and facts at all, I’m happy to take this on face value. My primary issue isn’t around that there is differences in traits, but how it is applied and the meaning that’s assigned to it.

This is interesting! Perhaps there is something in this. I do feel what you described is not particularly unique though in a lot of ways.

I think some kids (including young adults), both boys and girls, seem to be a little a slower on developing consequential thinking and applying limits.

From what I have seen attractive sexually successful young men who have the capacity to show restraint tend to resolve this issue of managing additional sexual interest prior to marriage.

If anything, there is an argument that men with little experience with managing additional sexual interest, developing restraint and…

In some ways it’s also more socially isolated (if you exclude the online stuff), more individualistically focused rather than community or collectively focused, more expensive to have and grow a family and more globally opportunistic.

I differ a bit as I feel the social rules today are under change and continue to move towards equality of access which I do not find alarming and I feel it opens opportunity. It certainly does not, for me at least, negate the basic rules of mutual respect or accountability of individual responsibility. Some degree of over sight might be a slight understatement of my beliefs as well, I believe all you…

Ahhh then I can see the problem. I feel that both young men and women benefit from continuing social support to learn how to set boundaries and grow social awareness of healthy and safe behaviour (including consent). As for the OP’s discussion, are you suggesting that older people “late 20’s” who (as he puts it,) are entering a hoe phase are perhaps free from those obligations because they started late?
/r/PurplePillDebate05/09/22 02:18 AM

I think we either have a considerable difference in our belief in social norms or perhaps values. I must admit that I was giving consideration to the “later 20’s” in the discussion though if that helps bridge the gap? Whereas you appear to be pointing your discussion to “young men (18-25)? This might be contributing to the disconnect.

I find this curious as very few people I know would agree that society views that an 18 year old operates with “total responsibility and autonomy “. I think generally there is acceptance that young adults are still learning (for lack of a better word). Most parents I know are still providing intermittent support and taking a “watch and wait” approach to see how their young person responds to trickier life challenges and intervening when needed. Scaffolding support so to speak. There is certainly…

“Understanding the power dynamics at play” This is the key. The young ages you are talking about have just, if they are lucky, finally got their heads around the power dynamics in the parent / child relationship and moved into (again hopefully) independence. It’s a bit of a long shot to think all young people are suddenly also in a position to navigate the power dynamics in an adult sexual relationship with an almost 50 year old. Of course people are concerned.

Perhaps what you are talking about is social norms? Your discussion is a bit complicated I feel by not placing it within the social structure of general young adult development and the larger social framework (the negative terms “hoe” are not helpful either). A lot of young adults go through a period of social, psychological and sexual development in their 20’s, and workplaces, families and educational environments are pretty much accepting and providing support through that period of time. It’s…

Institutions I guess. Old Aged Care is currently booming and the West doesn’t really have a recent culture of looking after the elderly within the home.

I see. I’m a bit worried that generally it could get very messy under the proposed model though. I’m assuming that we are talking about each unplanned (and outside marriage) pregnancy being considered under this new proposed law? Every women would therefore need to inform each bio father so that he could provide the yes/no response. If the bio father was not informed (for whatever reason) the law would need to default. The default would then become either a financial abortion - this would result…

I see. I’m pretty sure that ship has sailed to be honest. I really can not see the DNA genie being put back in the bottle, in fact I can only see it expanding, particularly when it comes down to health or legal issues. Simply everything is heading in that direction these days.

That’s a huge decision to make on a short time line for the biological father (a matter of weeks). Keep in mind a financial abortion will leave you with absolutely no rights whatsoever. The bio mother could realistically leave the country, drop American citizenship and disappear without a trace. Or she could die and the child enter foster care and you would never be informed. You would be making that decision in weeks fuelled by financial incentive and no recourse. There is room for much regret,…

Interesting. But then can the child use it to prove fatherhood? After all, the child owns their own DNA? The child could therefore apply for financial support as part of their rights? What about access to medical records? DNA testing has opened a box that is not easily closed I agree.

Yet. Women don’t generally like STEM fields …yet. It’s truly remarkable how quickly things have moved in such a short time. Take women in the medical field for instance. It’s kind of amusing to think of all the doctors / surgeons who would have sat around the old boys clubs in the past and nodded wisely to each other about how women’s basic nature excluded them from entering medicine.

I do believe there is truth in this. Antidotally I believe that today’s younger men were for the most part raised in a household with their mother still doing the majority of creating a home whether she was working either full time or part time in the “you can have it all” era. This next generation of young women, having learnt the lesson the hard way from their mothers, are not wanting to “do it all” any more. As you wisely pointed out, women now want to be provided what society has previously …

Your last paragraph is an interesting comment that I do not see brought up very often. I think this gets missed often in all the noise. There has been a massive shift in societal rules across a very short period of time. Older women still alive today lived under one set of social rules and have watched (as well as support) their grand-daughters to live under another. In other words, generationally there appears to be a strong narrative to support the message for young women to enter education, d…

Yeah, I’m also probably old enough to be your father. You are dead on. Relationships are complicated as a default, add sex and it further muddies the water. No use pretending that a FWB relationship cant get emotionally complicated.

Well, hard to say. I mean, even under a lot more “strict” social rules (for both men and women) abortion was a thing, just not legal nor safe. Arguably, society has changed so remarkably since this was a thing that the effects of this could bounce into unknown territory. Having children has become increasingly unattractive for both sexes for a whole bunch of reasons, the financial cost alone gave many “responsible” couples pause. Also a big driver for finding a “responsible” partner in the first…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
