2	24 year old Indian male, are women seeing me as a "beta-bucks" I have no idea who you're talking about. Most Indian kids I know shack up with Indian kids both ways. I'm not sure how I can be mentally colonized for both seeing where you're coming from and also dating an Indian boy with an Indian accent for two years now, while you over here are telling everyone to not date Indian girls out of your own myopia in understanding how people work. Maybe we have different experiences, but I get the feeling you're only seeing what you want to see out of bitterness. …	/r/PurplePillDebate	17/06/15 05:00 AM
0	24 year old Indian male, are women seeing me as a "beta-bucks" I totally get the concept you're going for here. As someone highly interested in postcolonial studies, it's something I witness to a certain degree with the Indian kids I know. I see it happening more frequently and extremely in men than women, actually, especially since women tend to be socialized to uphold tradition and whatnot in Indian culture, while men are the ones sent out to far-off lands n shit. I see this in my boyfriend who has spent so much time and effort in college to Americanize h…	/r/PurplePillDebate	10/06/15 01:17 AM

1	24 year old Indian male, are women seeing me as a "beta-bucks" That can happen sometimes with the upper middle class Asian families who live with a bunch of other Asians and Whites.	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/06/15 01:05 PM
1	24 year old Indian male, are women seeing me as a "beta-bucks" Goddamn, dude, that throwdown. What do you mean by being mentally colonized? Am I mentally colonized? I was born and brought up here, Indian-American girl, I have so far dated a Christian white guy, who was okay but not the ideal first relationship, and now an Indian guy for I think 2 years or so, and we're both 20. Brahmin family, hybrid Marathi/gujarati, college student, went to balavihars but ended up an agnostic Hindu (sorry mom).	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/06/15 01:04 PM
1	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? No, dude, I'm just a cognitive scientist, like damn. Here's the level of sass I need from you right now: ___ ---- Here's the level you're giving me: Calm down, dude, lol. I'm definitely not afraid feminism might be wrong. What I am apprehensive of is you automatically discrediting everything I shall say because it does not fit into your worldview using reductionism, black and white thinking, and appeals to authority, and poisoning the well. How does this have to do with creationism? I'm guessing…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/06/15 12:43 PM
1	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? Where do you draw your conclusions from on this? I find experience does not always equate to truth for a variety of reasons. :)	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/06/15 06:08 AM
0	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? Cool beans, another person with ADHD! I know enough people with it that we could totally make an army and form our own country or something. If we could get organized enough, lol. That's a pretty different take on intersectionality, I must admit. I'm not sure if it's actually possible to focus only on gender issues, truth be told. Gender issues for black women are not the same as issues for Asian women are not the same for white women are not the same for Hispanic women. And that's just race.

0	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? Interestingly, those who I see stand up for inequalities in the justice system, the ones who say things like "the population of those incarcerated is disproportionately skewed towards men in racial minority groups" all tend to identify as feminists when asked. Who do you mean as moderate feminists? When I think of the type that people tend to call moderate feminists, they tend to be relatively privileged white women. I guess that makes me not a moderate, but I am not a radical either. Maybe we s…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/06/15 11:37 PM
2	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? The way I understand checking your privilege is not by performing any action but by doing what you say you're doing already: simply understanding that different backgrounds feed people into different outcomes. It's the anti-"if I did it and you didn't, you're lazy and I'm hard-working". I guess people can go further by finding ways to detach disadvantages, like poverty and stuff, from occurring with certain backgrounds.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/06/15 11:20 PM
0	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? Rather than me fruitlessly challenging that opinion through striking up an argument, if you aren't trolling, I think I will ask that you see if you can challenge that opinion through your own power of critical thought and open, objective observation. Does this world you speak of, where successful men are constantly stoic and holding in emotion, truly exist? Look at the actions of people, not their words. Read people, do not skim them with assumptions. Leave their ambiguities open-ended instead o…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/06/15 11:05 PM
0	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? Here's a rephrase of what I think they meant. The progression of a discussion tends to come from giving someone the benefit of the doubt (if you want to be more thorough, let them know you're assuming the benefit of the doubt so that they can correct you if needed) in the face of ambiguity. "[Many] Women do it [that are and aren't feminists]. [Many] Men do it [that are and aren't feminists]. Society [has a tendency to do] it by collective media. Applying it to an entire movement is overly simpli…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/06/15 10:49 PM
1	Is it plausible that feminism causes women to see sexism where there isn't any and men not to see it when it appears? In my experience, the 'male tears' stuff comes from those who believe someone is complaining about a nonissue, or complaining as a reactionary gesture, in an attempt to discredit the original argument, rather than from a genuine belief that something is a problem.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/06/15 10:37 PM
