3	Men (and society) want tangible value from women but are mad that women want tangible value too You did admit that women on women bullying starting at an early age conditions them to push unsustainable 'standards' on themselves, forcing each other to put in more effort into their appearance, and men who couldn't care less are forced to pay the bill. Imagine if men even dared to suggest women should be expected to accommodate for the consequences of toxic masculinity. Standing up against that is almost like what modern feminism is literally all about. And it IS quite a just cause. But there…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/04/26 07:43 PM
–	Are We Treating Male Psychology as a Problem to Be Fixed? The fact that I had to scroll down this far to find a crumb of common sense is... lmao. Well said, 'nuff said.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/26 10:34 PM
3	Dating women is SIGNIFICANTLY harder than dating men Most dudes don't even know what love looks like, let alone what it feels like. Very few people have, regardless of gender. A lot of women think they know because of media tropes and cultural mores, which they then use as a measuring stick for reality, but all they fixate on are mere gestures and expressions, not the feeling itself. Which leads a lot of them to treat romance like a checklist or a transaction at best. But in reality only a very select few have even witnessed what actual love is. T…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/01/26 08:00 PM
3	If women love misogynists, then why do so many men here struggle? So kind = stupid?	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/06/25 07:56 PM
3	We need to encourage young adults to throw more house parties I feel like this is it, honestly. I'm from Argentina, literally the stereotypically less latin out of all the Latam countries, and when I was in the states I got the cops called to a friend's house just for having 6 people over in our apartment, just hanging out with some light drinks and music. Meanwhile in my home country I can have people over for actual parties (10-15 people) in my apartment, and even the doorman joins in. I love the country, but overall people in the US just felt way too di…	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/06/25 07:56 PM
4	Men need to have higher standards. Yeah, but people have always been 'fine'? Like, even in the most brutal and dark moments in history, it could be argued that most of the presently alive population was doing 'fine', some getting by, some thriving. Humankind can adapt to any environment. But that doesn't mean we can't think about the environment, how it shapes us, and how it stands up in comparison to what it could be. There's plenty of valid criticism to be made about this period in time, just like we criticize other points in t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/05/25 09:19 PM
8	Men need to have higher standards. Your point being? Just give up? Might as well go back to living in treetops and flinging shit if that's how it be. Why even create and maintain such a costly society made for humans if we're gonna let people be animals anyways? It's unsustainable. Animals aren't meant to live like this, and people aren't meant to behave like that, it's one or the other.	/r/PurplePillDebate	12/05/25 08:54 PM
–	The average woman today is more privileged than the average man. It's not always a zero-sum game. This basically sums it all up. The underlying, subliminal tendency of capitalist society is to turn every single issue into a zero sum game with clear winners and losers, victims and victimizers, oppressors and oppressed, makes any kind of cumulative positive social change impossible. It's so ingrained in our society that even something as objectively positive for the wellbeing of so many people, such as the women's rights movement, can only be conceived as a 'st…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/03/25 10:33 PM
4	The idea that men are intimidated by successful women is mostly a myth. That's modern 'scientific' psychology for you. Putting the cart before the horse. Making studies without actually making the effort of coming up with a theory that dictates the variables in a systematic way only yields partial data, ripe for manipulation. We're flooded by meaningless factoids and everyday it all makes less and less sense. We need to bring back coming up with a temptative working model of the mind which can then be adapted to incoming studies instead of the other way around, but …	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/03/25 07:27 PM
1	I’ll Answer the “Why Don’t Men Read Our Profiles?” Question. I'm also a guy who reads every single profile and often finds disappointment in how little people can actually describe themselves and what they're for. Sooo many empty profiles that make me feel absolutely nothing at all. That being said, I tried both the numbers and the compatibility game and I can confidently say neither works lol. These be the same dudes that thirst over any conventionally attritive woman who gives them a molecule of human decency as a sign of interest Can't blame them for t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/02/25 09:47 PM
-7	What is meant by "women live on easy mode"? It's all garbage for everyone. It's exhausting and demoralizing for both genders. I agree, that's why I'm a gender abolitionist first and foremost. We could spend the universe's lifetime discussing ad infinitum over who gets more privilege. We could spend milennia creating a perfect, unfalsifibale magical mystery metric for it, that was 100% objective, and we would still argue over what constitutes an even 50/50 split. Or we could just toss the arbitrary binary away and it's almost like magic. A…	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/24 01:12 AM
–	What is meant by "women live on easy mode"? That we can agree on. But if romantic life's just sorting out endless heaps of trash then the ones who get the trash delivered to their doorstep are indeed more privileged than the ones who have to walk a mile just to dumpster dive. Not by a lot, but still.	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/24 12:30 AM
–	What is meant by "women live on easy mode"? Yes I'm sure every single woman who uses dating apps is a wonderful, interesting being of pure joy. Men should be glad to be indulged by their attention every odd month or so.	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/12/24 12:21 AM
-1	Nice Guys, Not Like Other Girls, and Gender Policing Thank you for a drop of common sense in this ocean of terminally online discourse.	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/11/24 09:39 PM
0	The Issues with Conversations about Abortion My argument personally is that a fetus is not a human being because it is incapable of even existing outside of a symbiotic relationship with another person. If the other person involved in the gestation process is against proceeding with this symbiotic relation, then the label of this being "murder" would clearly not apply. Even newborn babies have the possibility of being adopted or put into foster care but this does not apply to fetuses. The mother is not responsible for the biological assyme…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/10/24 09:56 PM
2	The saying "women mature faster" is a lie. Just a reminder that all this entire discussion stems from the correlation of maturity = social adaptation which is tenuous at best.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/09/24 07:52 PM
–	Women are lazier when it comes to relationships I’ll take having power over giving up responsibility. As a guy, same, but I know me and a lot of us wish tht distinction wasn't enforced on a gender basis. Not a fan of passive, indecisive uncommunicative people period so I've been out here wishing I was gay my entire life lol. Binarism makes it so that the vast majority of women are either extremely passive, susceptible and uncommited or basically make out the fact that they aren't into a huge deal and base their entire personality on it.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/09/24 12:38 AM
1	Women are lazier when it comes to relationships That's simply because most people act on convenience instead of principles. If they can get away with putting less effort, they will. Women just have that opportunity more often than men when it comes to relationships.	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/09/24 09:58 PM
1	Why conservative traditions will withstand the test of time. Simple math. logic isn't conducive of a community's well being and longevity I think you're conflating logic with individualism there tbh. There are no "logical" or "correct" ways to determine moral values. There is always some leap of faith required, so both conservatism and liberalism or progressivism are equally "illogical", just one is more individualistic and the other is SUPPOSEDLY more collectivistic (it really is not, or not in our current world, because society is already very shifted towards indivi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/08/24 10:17 PM
1	Embracing the Redpill is like stepping out of a sunlit dream into the cold light of day the basics are already covered: food, shelter, water, health... even a lot of non-essentials like transportation (in Europe anyway), education (albeit at crap quality) and even occasions to travel abroad (up to age 27 in Europe - you can take the train allover the continent all the way to Asia for basically pennies) All of those things are due to the efforts of people in the past who also focused on the important issues in their societies back then. And they were all just as aware as we are now …	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/08/24 12:53 AM
8	Embracing the Redpill is like stepping out of a sunlit dream into the cold light of day So we gotta thank redpill for letting men all over the world come to the life shattering conclusion that women are human beings? A little late but still, thanks RP! btw I'm not shitting on you, I think the point is still somewhat valid but that's just how the world is. And yeah, it's not right, it is fucked up but frankly there's gotta be at least a solid dozen worse problems deriving from the current state of society than not getting any. Women and men aren't that different and if you had shitt…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/08/24 10:30 PM
2	The "women want..." / "men want..." / "women think..." / "men think..." nonsense is out of control. Genders are not hivemind collectives. Neither gender is collectively conspiring together to create some kind of social outcome, everyone is just trying to deal with their own lives the best they can. Oh ok yeah I misunderstood, sorry. As with anything, I wouldn't trust armchair sociologists with any kind of nuanced takes. All of these processes are mostly unconscious or transpersonal but it is understandable that people would wishfully think they're caused by some kind of hidden collusion or conspiracy. They're still valid observations (for the most part) though, just taken with a few dozen grains of salt lol.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/08/24 09:53 PM
1	The "women want..." / "men want..." / "women think..." / "men think..." nonsense is out of control. Genders are not hivemind collectives. Neither gender is collectively conspiring together to create some kind of social outcome, everyone is just trying to deal with their own lives the best they can. We do need ways to conceptualize sociological problems though. I'm not saying vague generalizations are it, but claiming every single issue boils down to just "individuals doing their thing" is akin to saying a health condition is just "individual cells doing their thing". If you could ask the individual cells they'd just say they're doing what their environment dictates them to do and everything would look fine, but you need an overarching framework to even begin to see how it harms the entire …	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/08/24 09:36 PM
12	Dating advice for men is implicitly condescending. You're not wrong at all, but there's something kind of fucked up about a society that prices itself on its 'tolerance', yet celebrates putting even more pressure on people to fulfill certain roles and high standards. I know that's probably not your reasoning, but it could be seen that way. Everyday it becomes more and more evident that gender abolitionism is the only way out of this mess, but that will never be feasible as long as we don't rebuild society so that something else can take gender's…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/07/24 08:20 PM
2	Apparently women turn “demisexual” around average men But much of it is ego-driven. It’s not even about you having sex with/dating this super hot person, as much as it is the validation of knowing YOU’RE attractive enough to get this super hot VIP looks-level person to bang/date you. Which by proxy must mean you’re so special. You don’t actually like them or know them. Couldn't have said it any better. Pretty privilege definitely exists, but its advantages when it comes to dating, especially as a woman, are heavily overstated. Most of the attention…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/07/24 09:05 PM
2	What if your boyfriend had a past history of viewing only softcore porn? If you think sexual perversion is caused by porn and not the other way around, I'm afraid psychology has some bad news for you. That aside I do think the current porn situation is not something that we should just blindly accept or glorify, but believing that puritanical stigmatization will solve a single thing is just lacking in historical conscience. Sexual repression is literally what got us to this point in the first place. Most of the things you mention as side effects of porn consumption a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/07/24 11:33 PM
1	most women want to be freed of all traditional female gender roles, but they want men to conform to male gender roles that benefit women, and abandon male gender roles that harm women Lots of women want men who are unabating testosterone-fueled violence machines towards everybody else but them. They want a Pitbull on a leash, and the more assertive, outspoken they are, the better. The more the men are are able to impose themselves on others in ways that align with the woman's interests, the happier she is. Just because you claim it makes you feel 'safer' against predatory men not aligned with your interests doesn't change the fact that you literally just want a goon, a menace…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/06/24 07:02 PM
2	How and why masculinity is being pacified, and why the redpill/manosphere is ironically an effective tool towards it Yeah of course, but Tate is also a highly idealized view of capitalism. I was under the impression we were talking values. A lot of manosphere guys like to talk about how they represent some kind of timeless ancient wisdom, that modernity has somehow misled us from the true path of masculine empowerment, when they're really talking about a very recent invention that's diametrically opposed to those values which held civilization together for millennia, and whose achievements can be measured only…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/24 08:44 PM
3	How and why masculinity is being pacified, and why the redpill/manosphere is ironically an effective tool towards it If we're talking 'historically' then private property is an extremely recent concept in itself. Just the mere concept of having a "domain" was alien to 99% of men throughout all of human history up until no more than a few centuries ago, which is nothing in the scale of all human history and civilization's. And the few 1% who did actually "have" authoritative power over things, or more accurately, were responsible for things and other people over whom they held power, were nobles. Appointed by b…	/r/PurplePillDebate	13/05/24 09:12 PM
2	If most younger women are dating older men, should MATURE younger men attempt to date older women? I appreciate someone finally putting it in terms of what gender roles actually are. As in ROLES of an inherently SOCIAL nature. That way it becomes evident that nobody actually enjoys being 'the man' in any kind of romantic or sexual-affective context, at best most men are in denial and actually enjoy the power trip, but it's pretty evident they don't find anything of value in acting the man without the 'privileges'. Which is like the most obvious conclusion given it's all responsibilities and e…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/04/24 11:17 PM
15	In response to the "why are promiscuous women undesirable but doesn't necessarily apply to promiscuous men" I like your assumption that just being with men 'damages' women. You would think at least it would merit looking into that as kind of an issue as well but that would make the argument a bit too nuanced and complicated, rather than a neat little analogy wouldn't it?	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/04/24 10:47 PM
3	Mental issues are not as prevalent source of problems as you might think Oh yeah I can definitely get behind that. There's certainly a glaring weakpoint of our modern worldview there. The way the mind is conceptualized exclusively though the healthy/unhealthy binary as if we weren't social beings constricted by arbitrary cultural values and expectations from a bygone era. Clinicization of mental health means mental health issues seem to start and end with individual satisfaction without an actual reference for how people ought to live other than their subjective well…	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/04/24 09:56 PM
3	Mental issues are not as prevalent source of problems as you might think Sorry, don't mean to be rude, but is there any kind of mental health that isn't anthropocentric at all? The human mind is the only kind of mind we can observe right now.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/04/24 09:21 PM
0	Romantically speaking, people are atomized by individualism, postmodernism, and sexual liberation. You're right, but that doesn't disprove anything said in the post, other than the small reactionary jab that was unnecessary in the first place. Just because things are bad it doesn't mean they were good before; this just perpetuates an attitude of disempowered cynicism by occluding the fact that all of these things have changed countless times all through history and can definitely change again. None of this is some ultimate human nature or unescapable reality of human existence or whatever, it…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/04/24 07:47 PM
