| 1 | Why do Redpillers and Red Pill Women think they have the moral standing to refer to some women as 'sluts' or 'riding the cock carousel' when they themselves often advocate for plenty of casual sex?I'm not a redpiller... I'm confused now. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/05/14 01:15 PM |
| 2 | Why do Redpillers and Red Pill Women think they have the moral standing to refer to some women as 'sluts' or 'riding the cock carousel' when they themselves often advocate for plenty of casual sex?Yeah, I agree completely. Like TRP says, preselection might make men for attractive for a ONS/fling (the say way they're attracted to promiscuous women for one night stands and flings), but that doesn't mean they're attractive for an LTR. If women are going to have kids, they want a parent who can commit and provide for the child, and a guy who has spun plates all his life is a risky choice. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/05/14 04:16 PM |
| 2 | Proper blue pill dating adviceSure, but you can't compare the word slut to shit. Shit's a bad word for poop. Whatever. Poop doesn't care. But when you use derogatory words that affect people (slut, nigger, faggot, etc.) you don't get to excuse it by saying "oh, but I meant it in a positive way!" Anyway, I'm less fixated on his use of the word than the fact his use of it stems from a belief (propagated in TRP) that women who have casual sex are somehow bad people or less deserving of equitable treatment, etc. There is no dams… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/03/14 08:22 PM |
| 3 | Proper blue pill dating adviceWow, you completely missed the point. Slut is a derogatory term which is why using it implies that the user thinks that for whatever reason, women shouldn't be able to have casual sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/03/14 08:04 PM |
| 11 | Proper blue pill dating adviceAlso don't refer to the women consenting to have sex with you as sluts, that's just generally uncool. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/03/14 07:56 PM |
| 2 | Why do I keep hearing this same rhetoric from blue pillers?A lot of those stories on TBP are people's experiences of being in abusive relationships. Here's the thing about emotional abuse: it works. If you find someone with a low self-esteem and then employ dread game, you can get them to date you and give you sex all the time, to cook for you, to make you the centre of their world. The problem with this is that it isn't healthy. The whole "young and stupid" isn't a convenient excuse, it's "I was in a bad place in my life and got manipulated." So sure, … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/03/14 07:08 PM |
| 2 | Getting laid isnt all that hard.TRP complains and complains about supposed feminist shaming tactics (because apparently calling something immoral is a shaming tactic instead of a legitimate criticism) and now you're telling me TRP is in support of shaming? Isn't that a little hypocritical? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/12/13 09:03 PM |
| 5 | Getting laid isnt all that hard.Why are you okay with members of TBP using such oppressive and bullying language to describe members of TRP. Some members of TRP describe bluepillers as fat lesbian cunts or whiteknight manginas who can't get laid. Shaming goes both ways. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/12/13 04:40 PM |
| 2 | New Study Finds Girls Excel at Devious Bullying & AbuseYeah, I agree. It's important to understand that girls bully too, but it doesn't mean all women are evil or anything like that.

Is my current BF my first love? No. Do I love him? Tons. I get fuzzy feelings in my stomach even just getting a text. Do I still think about any guys I dated before?

| 2 | Women react badly when guys pay for sex - some of the comments are eye openingI'll summarize their responses for you: Casual sex: mutual desire, both parties want to have sex with each other. Paying a prostitute: they wouldn't want to have sex with you otherwise, the idea of sex as commodity instead of an mutually desired experience shared by two people. | /r/TheRedPill | 12/06/13 12:56 AM |
| 12 | Women react badly when guys pay for sex - some of the comments are eye openingActually, I read the thread, and the woman who posted that says she has only been with one man (her husband).

| 1 | Came to this subreddit thinking I would snark, and i'm getting schooled. Recommendations for women?I have a question for you about the marriage stuff, actually! I have mixed feelings on alimony (for either gender). On one hand, I obviously think the concept of financial enslavement is bad, but on the other... there's a reason alimony exists. An MRA once explained to me that men risk everything in the marriage because a woman can take the kids and take all of their money. But imagine a scenario where, say, a man and a woman get married and the man asks her to give up her job and raise his kids… | /r/TheRedPill | 10/06/13 11:45 PM |
| 1 | Glad to see this on facebookThat's a fair point, I agree with you especially about those posters, where there isn't context/a legit example, just "tell your sons not to rape." :) I just wanted to point out where this poster can be misinterpreted as offensive. | /r/MensRights | 05/05/13 12:34 AM |
| 2 | Glad to see this on facebookI don't entirely disagree, but someone can make the same claims about "men, don't rape" posters. Eg, "it's not insulting to men, it is recognizing that society tells men that certain behaviours aren't the same as rape when they are (eg, coercing someone into sex, marriage is consent, etc.) and asking men to recognize the truth." and, "These posters aren't targeting the men who actually knowingly commit rape, it's the ones who legitimately think their behaviour is okay."

| 3 | Glad to see this on facebookYeah, I came here to say this. Saying "Women, don't make fake rape claims!" is like saying "Men, don't rape!". There are assholes in life that are going to do these things regardless of something they see on fb. Plus, just as men are offended by "men, don't rape", some women are offended by these - they can be interpreted as insinuating that women are too dumb to realize that it wasn't rape. I don't know if people who regret sex actually believe it's rape; they just say it was for various reason… | /r/MensRights | 04/05/13 05:20 AM |

| 0 | There is a slutwalk going on in my hometown, here is what they want to say on their postersTo be fair, the more correct comparison is "don't tell us how to watch our kids", implying they're already paying attention to how they're watching their kids (dressing) and don't need you to blame them because they looked away for a second (wore a tube top). They're against victim blaming, which is why slutwalks occur, hence their posters. It's just unfortunate they have to target men as opposed to people in general (whether or not you're a rapist, you probably have the physical capability comm… | /r/MensRights | 12/09/12 06:07 PM |
| 1 | It is the oath that offends me on this Violence Against Women website.As a point of interest, the site was founded by men. There's none of this "us poor women" stuff going on. Let's go point by point again. We can agree the first point is good. Violence against women is a men's issue because they people they care about get hurt. Good. Both men and women can be community leaders. It does not say all men are the leaders. It says in the capacity of community leaders, men can make a key difference. If a man is abusing a women, who are they more likely to listen to? A … | /r/MensRights | 06/09/12 02:49 AM |
| 0 | It is the oath that offends me on this Violence Against Women website.There's a a 'why engage men' section in the about, Violence against women is a deeply personal issue for women, but it is also very much a men's issue because it is their wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and friends whose lives are being harmed by violence and abuse. It is a men's issue because, as community leaders and decision-makers, men can play a key role in helping to stop violence against women. It is a men's issue because men can speak out and step in when male friends and relatives in… | /r/MensRights | 05/09/12 11:05 AM |
| -1 | Dependent feminism is bankrupting our countryWe have lived in a welfare state from the moment we started paying taxes. A welfare state is a concept of government in which the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens. Even in the simplest system, we pay taxes in order for the security to have a "free" market. That's technically a welfare state. Unless you're going by a different definition? Whether or not feminism is bad for the economy, feminism did not cause welfare state… | /r/MensRights | 03/09/12 12:18 PM |
| 2 | What on Earth do they want?It might just be bad luck. I'm a teenage girl, and honestly, if I'm not interested in a guy, it won't matter how he asks me out - I won't be interested. My advice? Be yourself! Don't change your behaviour in order to woo a girl. Be their friend, without being friendzoned. Don't always be there for them with nothing in return, available whenever. Be yourself, be amiable, be casual, and don't always put them (us?) first. | /r/MensRights | 24/08/12 10:40 PM |
| 6 | Two bathrooms, one for one gender, one for both. Both single-person. Unfair?Erm... wouldn't the solution be to make men's experience more similar to women's? If women have it better, as you seem to be saying, why drag them down to a lower level? Why not just elevate the standard for men and give each urinal a proper stall? | /r/MensRights | 20/08/12 10:34 PM |
| 0 | Google's definition of RapeExpecting downvotes, but... This is the Oxford definition, meaning it's British. Here is the definition of rape in England: Rape (1) A person (A) commits an offence if— (a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis, (b) B does not consent to the penetration, and (c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents. So you see, rape in British law requires penetration, which is why they make the assumption that the perpetrator is male. This by no mean… | /r/MensRights | 13/08/12 09:48 PM |
| 3 | Just got done with Sexual Assault trainingVictims of rape (women AND men) are usually scared and ashamed. Going to the police and saying that you've been raped - a terrifying ordeal. You know what makes it worse? The thought that the police, and that the people around you, won't believe you. They'll think you're making it up. Look, false accusations suck. They hurt everyone. There's no need to argue over whether or not they hurt future victims of rape. | /r/MensRights | 11/08/12 12:05 PM |
| 1 | About being told not to rapeI believe the sentiment behind this ill-phrased example is that society should instill proper morals and values within its members, such as "rape is bad" or "do not rape." We should be making an effort to teach everyone - regardless of gender - that rape isn't permissible under any circumstance (and subsequently teaching people that false accusations are not humorous). I agree that rape can never fully be eliminated from society, but a lot of the time, when people say this, they are not feminist… | /r/MensRights | 08/08/12 11:25 AM |
| 1 | The "aspiring equity feminist" who got her ass handed to her was forced to re-evaluate her opinions. I'm here with some legitimate questions now, and I'm willing to learn!gender feminism does to dehumanize and objectify women. This sounds really interesting; can you possibly elaborate more? I've never looked at it from this perspective. Are you saying that in order to create a need to empower women, feminists are creating a weak female stereotype? | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 01:09 AM |
| 1 | The "aspiring equity feminist" who got her ass handed to her was forced to re-evaluate her opinions. I'm here with some legitimate questions now, and I'm willing to learn!I call myself a feminist because I advocate more strongly for women's rights issues, though not at the expense of men's. Would calling myself a WRA be a better term? | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 01:05 AM |
| 3 | The "aspiring equity feminist" who got her ass handed to her was forced to re-evaluate her opinions. I'm here with some legitimate questions now, and I'm willing to learn!You can not tell me that you are 100% for equality when the very title you choose to "rally" under is sexist . If you truly just want equality for both genders, then like I said, use "egalitarian". If you want equality, but only want to focus on womens equality (but aren't so crazy to push things that elevate women beyond equality), then feminist is a perfect title to use... just don't say you are 100% for equality for both genders, because you aren't. I think I am naturally more inclined to pus… | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 01:02 AM |
| 3 | The "aspiring equity feminist" who got her ass handed to her was forced to re-evaluate her opinions. I'm here with some legitimate questions now, and I'm willing to learn!...Are you kidding me right now? Misogyny is the hatred of women/girls. Misandry is the hatred of men/boys. They both fall under sexism. That does not make them the same, or even similar, as I believe they manifest themselves in different ways. As a woman, being involved in gender activism, IMO, should be about advocating for women's rights, AND for men's. TL:DR People should have equal rights. I don't know; maybe you're just trolling me right now. | /r/MensRights | 04/08/12 12:51 AM |
| 0 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.No, because I agree and see that women have equal rights to men. That does not, however, equate to them being treated equally. Then there's abortion rights, which is quite simply, a woman's right to her body. But then there's the social aspect - feminists strive to have women treated (and perceived) as equals to men. It's just as much a movement against discrimination and sexism than it is for civil and legal rights on paper. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 03:24 PM |
| 1 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.Thank for the wonderfully well-written, relevant, and calm response. You deserve more upvotes. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 03:15 PM |

| 2 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.That's a really good response and the answer I was looking for. :) I'm sorry I came off as such a bigot; I never meant to, and I appreciate that you ignored it and answered my question regardless. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:43 AM |
| 3 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.Hah. I know this will come as a huge surprise to you, but I'm actually very interested in reading everyone's opinion here. I am most certainly not crying, though I do feel like an asshole for being so aggressive during my initial post. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:42 AM |

| 1 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.Reading that, I feel awful! I never meant to imply that everyone on this subreddit (or in this niche movement) hated women, only that there does seem to be some of that feeling on these forums and I don't understand why, considering your goals. | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:38 AM |
| 2 | I'm an aspiring equity feminist and I have some questions for you.I recognize hating feminists is not the same as hating women; that's why I'm confused by misogynistic comments that I see (that are belittling WOMEN, not just feminism. I'll edit this with examples after.) destructive, sexist, and heartless movement. First, equity feminism and gender feminism are two separate movements. I identify as an feminist because I want rights to my body (abortion rights, for example) and rights to equal pay, etc. In Canada, I'm lucky. But in the States, it seems there ar… | /r/MensRights | 03/08/12 11:37 AM |
