I'm not very good at "being a feminist". Still. This is the exact opposite of what most women want. I do not date and will not for the foreseeable future... 1) ...but I'm distraught at the idea of a man I date making substantially more than I do.

Can you please elaborate on what you consider to be the ideal outcomes for children? And a followup question.

That attraction is rooted in evolutionary biology of wanting to pass on the genes of what you view as a better fit for your offspring. You have a prefrontal cortex friend.

Okay, yeah, OP is dabbling in eugenicist thinking. You haven't thought eugenics through. It's completely circular and hinges on a value judgment.

| 2 | Men embrace redpill because mainstream advice is dogshit"I think the best framing is, what do you define as attractive in terms of a potential partner?" See now, you're already operating under the assumption that I care a great deal about physical attractiveness. I don't.

| 37 | People obsess over women initiating divorce because they believe women should stay miserable in marriages.I'm a woman who was taught the opposite extreme by my family. Divorce is horrible and only okay if the children are in danger. It's not rape if you're married. You're supposed to stay in the marriage for the kids' sake and respect/obey your husband. If you do ever get divorced, you shouldn't remarry... I'm sure it's hard to relate, but I am glad that some women go to the media with their abuse stories. It helps showcase systemic problems to girls raised in extreme environments like I was. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/04/25 01:50 PM |

This maxim is the rule and thus exists for a reason, but one has think in terms of causality in order to determine how this happens as well as how it can be deterred.

| 1 | Marriage and kids benefit men more than womenThat said, I think we still need to be cautious about how we frame “net benefit” when discussing gender. A system can be skewed in a way that seems to favour one sex on the surface but when you dig deeper, you find that both men and women are being boxed in, just in different ways.

As the kids grow, they deliberately select for the autistic, pedophilic, and homosexual young people. They push these people in the direction of lifelong clergy service.

At present the only public places you can go to without the expectation of spending money are museums, libraries, and parks/walking trails.

Is having poor instincts for the opposite sex as a result of the way you were raised conducive to mental illness?
