| 7 | The manosphere thrives because society has failed to provide an alternative.That bit you mentioned in about how the Right-winged view on masculinity is what's enforced and seen by both men and women of all political affiliations is EXACTLY why we have the purple pill. What we want to work vs. what we SEE works are for two very different things. Pretty accurate summarization of why this sub exists imho | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/06/26 08:12 AM |
| 4 | Women cannot detect the "toxic" thoughts of lonely menLikewise, though I actually very quickly reverted back to being who I was when I was younger, since I didn't like the way I had to treat women to succeed with them and I stopped seeing them as people in favor of little dialogue checks. It was ironic, the more they liked me when I was doing that, the less I liked them or wanted to be with them - I got less "pussy" during this period of time than any other because I started resenting them for their affection. Summing up that time, "Where were you … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/12/25 12:59 PM |
| 1 | Female written romantic literature is insanely patriarchalI get that, I've ended up doing the same thing but for other reasons. Now I've been down the rabbit hole of otome/murim/wuxia novels where playing "spot the trope" has become a bingo drinking game. It's become a lot more bearable when instead of '3 tropes in a trenchcoat pretending to be unique,' the experience is now '3 plots in a trenchcoat larping as a trope.' | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/25 07:07 AM |
| 1 | Female written romantic literature is insanely patriarchalIts a shame, because men are VERY capable of writing romance, just like women can write fantasy (The Fifth Season and His Majesty's Dragon are some of my favorite series). One of the other issues with romance as a genre though is that it's been so saturated with tropes, and the books that put food on the table aren't going to be nuanced realistic takes on courtship - it's going to be yet another best selling Colleen Hoover-esque novel. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/25 06:56 AM |
| 1 | Female written romantic literature is insanely patriarchalYeah that's gonna be a tough sell, most men aren't in the genre since it's overwhelmingly consumed by women and catered towards them. I wouldn't be surprised if the good male authors were writing under genderswapped pen-names to avoid any stigmas/biases. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/25 06:42 AM |
| 1 | Female written romantic literature is insanely patriarchalBack during my YA days, I actually really liked the romantic subplot in the Eragon series. It didn't really evolve into anything beyond a crush, but it was a pretty realistic take on just accepting that your affections aren't always going to be returned, moving on and not letting it interfere with your pre-existing friendship. It's probably not the most well-written example of that, but in the world of YA romance where a LOT of male-female relationship dynamics are "drop all that youve built in … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 27/10/25 06:32 AM |
