It's not cherrypicking if you had the ability to read the actual title of the thread. The West is a case study in what happens when men take responsibility for society and improve civilization overall by building up institutions that protect and provide for everyone. Men's own institutions become a path for his own self-obsolescence. Since he optimized the security of the nation by keeping a functional military and police force women think safety is a default instead of the continued labor of me…

I can accept that there's a certain truth to that, but the reality is that class inequality is now also informed by gender dynamics because feminism brought economics into the equation of sexual equality. Like it or not, the traditional system of men taking care of women meant that economics were centered around family, which means that there really is a class of people who can band together regardless of gendered lines, because a father's money provides for his daughter, and when she's married …

I know you want to twist this the other way to make women look better, but a burden is a burden. Women are by far more likely to go to the doctor at any sign of discomfort and complain about symptoms that simply do not end up being diagnosable or treatable as a medical condition for the doctor, whereas men are far more likely to go to the doctor when he feels the problem is significant enough to burden other human beings with his distress. So yes, of course women live longer, because they burden…

The problem is that the collective self-improvement of all men actually harms women's interests in the short term, because it teaches men that they have value and do not need to be subservient to what women think, that it is reasonable for men to hold boundaries that displease women, and that it is allowed for men to express emotions that make women uncomfortable. But at the end of it though, everyone benefits when men are more masculine. Even women do not actually want men that just do everythi…

Then we'd have to get rid of concepts like privilege. Because if life is just as hard for men as it is for women, then people can't argue for the existence of male privilege while denying the existence of female privilege at every turn.

Women are the majority of users of medical services in terms of both emergency as well as routine care. Larger sums of money go towards female-coded medical issues such as breast cancer than they do towards male-coded medical issues. Entire fields of medical study as well as clinical departments are dedicated entirely to female-coded treatment disciplines whereas none exist for men. By all reasonable measure, it is women that are disproportionately burdening the medical system and receiving disp…

People keep arguing that class conflict is the only real conflict and asking for peace along racial and sexual lines in order to engage in class warfare, but peace on whose terms? As far as the men are concerned, "stop arguing" means women need to meet the man where he is at. And for women, "stop arguing" means men need to meet the woman where she is at. In the absence of either of these two things happening, the arguing will continue. Telling people to just shut up isn't going to end the confli…

“Society” considers it women’s responsibility to constantly monitor the men around them to avoid being physically harmed. It is nice when men take on some of that burden and do some comparably low-stakes monitoring themselves. That is considerate. That is untrue. Society has always considered it your father, your uncles, and your brothers' responsibility to monitor men in order to protect you from being physically harmed. There was no expectation that a woman would protect herself or another wom…

The left as it currently stands ideologically will never have a male figure as a role model, because it has completely been co-opted by feminism. You cannot hold a culturally unchallengeable belief that refuses to engage with the perspectives of men as a basis of its beliefs, while disempowering men and maintaining plausible deniability that it is doing so, AND still expect to have masculine role models rise in support of your cause. Ideologically, the progressive agenda has far too much in simu…

When women like older men, it's mostly not because the man is older -- it's the things that correlate with older age. Status, money, career, experience, ability, confidence, detachment, knowledge, fitness -- these are things that take time to accumulate unless you are born into lucky circumstances, and almost no one can be born with all of them. It takes until at least your late 20s to early 30s for most people to start getting a good chunk of these things taken care of, and even then possibly u…

Men seem much more comfortable with having people in their lives with diametrically opposed views on things like politics, religion, race, and social issues. Women seem much more willing to ostracize, bully, or socially isolate members to the outgroup based on disagreements, for everything from big ideological issues to small personal issues.

There is no such thing to men as "what are you looking for" without the "with you" part. I've met women at different points in my life where I wanted different things from them specifically because they were different women. If a woman is physically attractive but not very emotionally mature, then I'm looking for a short term with her. If a woman is kind and easygoing but is not looking to have children, then I'm looking for a relationship with her but not marriage. Every single woman is going t…

This is a really one-sided sexual dynamic in that only a woman could ever layer on criteria like this while complaining about their relationship woes. If men had these exact same complaints, they would instantly be hit with "how he needs to do better": But they’re not all politically aligned Have you introspected on your own political opinions and why they may not suit the opposite sex?

Except that is only if you apply your specific narrow worldview. From a biological and social perspective that regards women as having inherent value due to their ability to reproduce, it makes perfect sense and is in no way irrational, because a woman is capable of reproduction regardless of how strong she is. And so even if she is stronger than a man, it is socially unacceptable to hurt her because of her inherent ability to create life for the next generation. Whether it is shameful for a man…

So now you're moving the goalposts. You're trying to compare women of one class to women of another class, which therefore of course there will be differences in value. Since women's inherent value is in their ability to create life, if your society values white lives more than black lives, then black women will be treated as having less value obviously. But if you compare across genders between white men and white women, versus black men and black women, you will find the same effect -- People …

Of course it doesn't, and you know this too. "Not hurting women" has to do with the inherent social value women have in their continued existence as a privilege of being female, not with their physical weakness. Otherwise, it would be socially acceptable to hit stronger or more dominant women, but it's not. There are plenty of things that are weaker than us but have no value in their continued existence, or even negative value (i.e. actively causes harm) that we are completely okay with harming.…

Good thing we also have the gift of perspectives, which allows us to challenge narratives that are put forth in order to conveniently put women in a positive light, and critically asking ourselves if it is possible to come up with perspectives that don't simply reach the conclusion that feminists have decided a priori to look for in their explanation: "Don't hit women" comes from a place of women being held in regard due to their high innate value for their ability to give life to the next gener…

You mean female privilege, right? If there was a social norm of "never ever hit a man", you'd definitely call that a male privilege. Otherwise we'd have to accept that all of the upsides of being a man in society is also just benevolent sexism against men.

They're difficult to maintain precisely because of the messaging that gets pushed in mainstream culture. If feminism didn't lay the groundwork for "anything men can do women can do" and selling the lie that women really can have everything in career and motherhood and liberation all at the same time, we would have been in a far better position to push back when the class elites began pulling benefits that support families and instead pushing for higher single earner income.

It was James Sexton who said something to the effect of, "Whether you have a prenup or not, you have a prenup. If you have one, then that's your prenup. If you don't, then the state decides what your prenup is based on whatever laws are in effect the year that you get divorced."

I would agree until I saw the part where his dad called in during his livestream and basically called him a gay little bitch. The same dad who then goes on stream afterwards to say his son's "never been the same after his mother was murdered." His abusive father and the situation with his mother has basically denied him an actual chance at life. I know that if anyone who criticizes him were put into his same situation, they would have come out the same way.

I think that everyone should be allowed to flee the country during a war. I think you can only really say this from a position of privilege, when your entire nation and people aren't facing an existential threat. If the military draft didn't exist, Hitler would be having afternoon tea in London while the Japanese flagship Yamato would be docked at Pearl Harbor.

The difference is that most of people who stick with traditional roles have expectations that match more closely with biological reality. Men generally tend to feel more fulfilled when they are providing for and protecting people and things that they love, and women generally tend to feel more fulfilled when they are caretaking and nurturing people and things that they love.

Women have always had the right to live their life however they wanted if they were willing to abandon the security and resources provided by the physical power of men. You can literally just walk out the front gate of your village and leave, but there will be no men to give you shelter, food, or safety from nature. Women are not literally chained to anything keeping them inside of the society they are in; they just want the benefits of the things that men have built and are willing to tolerate …

You're exactly proving his point, which is that feminism thinks gender roles is a buffet line -- that women get to pick-and-choose which parts of traditional roles they want men to be burdened with and which ones don't benefit women and should therefore be labeled toxic.

That's like saying "What shortens people's lives is thirst, not a water treatment plant." I hear having a society that builds a water treatment plant for access to clean water is pretty effective at reducing the number of people dying of thirst in the community. And I would also wager that if you had societal conditions that brought more people together into sexually fulfilling relationships that the levels of depression would severely drop as well.

This is the feminism motte-and-bailey: They are either for equality, in which case the movement should be supported by both men and women, but it also means that feminism must also support men when women have undue privilege over them due to double standards -- this is what proponents of feminism turn to when discussing why men should be allies, why feminism should be mainstream, why everyone should be a feminist, etc. OR, feminism is not for equality, in which case the movement is sexist, meani…

From my experience, people only ever bring up the "personal choice/personal responsibility" argument when they want to avoid discussing the societal effects of the issue at hand. While it's true that you have the freedom to make choices, the top-down effects of what we're doing as a society has a huge influence over the choices that people are compelled to make, and looking at those influences are far more illuminating than meeting every issue with an evasive "Just do what you want, man."

Isn't that the crux of the issue? Women are generally physically weaker than men, and so are unable to compete physically for power against men. It's not that they can't participate, it's that participating is not in a woman's best interests because they would lose.

Men are not jealous of women's ability to get fucked, because men don't want to get fucked; they want to fuck. There is a qualitative difference between "getting laid" as a woman versus "getting laid" as a man. When you show your friends her picture and tell them "I hit that", you share high fives, because everyone understands you put in the hard work and it paid off.

Everything about dating is about moving resources from the man to the woman, up to and including marriage and having children.

The part of the brain that activates for physical disgust and moral disgust is biologically identical.

I think casual material means they have loose enough sexual values that they would have sex with the man as long as he was attractive enough for her, and wife material means they have actual learned principles from their culture that makes commitment more important for them, meaning that she is less likely to disrespect him or cheat on him because she was raised to give peace to her man.

Every single one of these "I was vulnerable with my partner and she left me" stories get zero traction because it doesn't conform to the worldview that women draw their victimhood narrative from.

Yeah, and I'm saying for men, there is a qualitative difference between being with a partner who was raised by their parents to have principles that precluded them from ever taking pictures for their partner in a relationship because those were the values she grew up with, versus a woman who does not have those values and now decides to impose a restriction on all future partners based on the negative emotions she felt about the experience, whether it was resentment or pain or bitterness, by car…

Because despite how we phrase it, the reality is no one is capable of "causing" you trauma. You are actually the person causing yourself trauma by how you respond to life events that also happen to everyone else. A partner treats you in a way you don't want? Happens all the time, what do you do about it, both internally and externally? Do you just let them do what they want or do you set a boundary and leave if they violate it? Do you tell yourself that you are a perpetual victim or do you decid…

That's the problem; you did it for a previous partner, so you clearly didn't grow up and have parents that taught you their values as the reason for why you are avoiding that behavior in the present. The reason you are avoiding it is because you were traumatized by some guy you decided to be with, and now every guy after you has to deal with the results of that trauma. If you were raised to have a set of principles that precluded you from allowing men to treat you in such-and-such way, then that…

The age of the draft expands during wartime, it doesn't remain static at 25. If your country's existence depended on repelling a foreign threat, it would make no sense to keep the draft at 25 if the alternative is that everyone dies and the nation collapses. For example, Ukraine has remobilization orders for men up to the age of 60, and are even using prisoners as conscripted soldiers.

I don't think you understand hypergamy. The idea is that as a woman gets to experience the things that she wants in a man, whether that is through having those things herself, or through getting attention from men who possess those things -- EVEN IF she has no chance at a long-term commitment from him -- the level of requirement for her to be attracted rise with relation to her experience.

Reality speaks for itself. Men in relationships are by far more likely not to require outside validation, know how to flirt, and know how to escalate sexually without being awkward compared to women in relationships. Women are much more likely to require outside validation and reassurance, are good at being flirted with but will never engage first, and absolutely are awkward if they have to initiate the sexual escalation because they never have to practice.

Most men don't, especially not from cold approaches where that's just a normal occurence.

The only way is to make people put there money where their mouth is. Set up two elevators. Put a random man in one, put a random bear in the other. Tell women passing by that they can sign a waiver, and then choose to ride up to the 10th floor and back down with the man for 100 dollars, or ride up to the 10th floor and back down with the bear for 1,000 dollars. Make it a reality TV show and let's watch how many women either chicken out and ride with the man, or get mauled by a bear on live TV. E…

Objectifying doesn't mean treating someone as non-human, it means regarding them as the things that they objectively are, for example: 6 feet and 2 inches tall, 210 pounds, muscular, short blond hair, blue eyes, with a penis -- That's a human as an object. A human as a subject is: Likes poetry, enjoys walks on the beach, in school for an MBA, very close with your sister, dream in life is to run their own company, favorite vacation destination is Paris.

It's as much of a kink as liking taller men is a kink. Women want to be objectified by the right person because sex is inherently objectifying.

People on the two extremes of "never even touched a woman before" and "sleep with a new girl every week" are obviously going to have non-standard views of women. Lumping it all into "misogyny" would be missing the point. The first camp are more likely to be bitter, resentful, and traumatized by women whereas the second camp are more likely to be dismissive, devaluing, and objectifying of women.

How I see it, is that masculinity is built up, and femininity is worn down. Women go through puberty and their femininity is given to them for free at the height of their youth, and they just have to maintain it. The action of estrogen gives them all the things innate to their traditional value as a woman -- motherhood, smooth skin, curvy bodies, and everything else. Not everyone gets these in equal measure, but generally you don't have to work to get your femininity, but it basically peaks and …

Women can be hot milfs, goth girls, climbable Amazons, dommy mommies, e-girls, kawaii uguu~, gothic lolitas, emo chicks, PAWGs, girl-next-door, BBWs, bolted-on bimbos, scene girls, ABGs, and all of these niches will find their suitors in men.

Then I think your answer is yes, your friendship with them was diminished for the fact that they were straight men.

Feminism is literally just female blackpill/incel: "We cannot get the things we want from the world because the opposite gender has it and won't give it to us even though we deserve it, and by doing so they are oppressing us with their privilege.

You say that, but women generally assign duties related to security, finances, protection, reassurance, safety, and in this case sexual initiation to the man in the relationship.

Women slutshame other women because sex as a commodity decreases in value based on how readily other women provide it to men. If you want to wait until marriage to have sex, but Becky across the street fucks on the first date, then your prospects of using sex as leverage to get a man's committment loses its edge because Becky is giving it out with no commitment required. It's in your best interest to force social compliance on Becky, and shame is one of women's sharpest weapons.

Relationships are absolutely transactional at their core, but the transaction is invisible for relationships that that are going smoothly. If you have to constantly talk about the underlying transaction, your relationship is probably already on the rocks. Just like how if you have to constantly talk to your boss about getting paid, your job is also on the rocks.

Does a woman's feelings take precedence over the reality of sexism against men? It doesn't make sense to give a textbook definition of a sexist double standard, and to say that it isn't a sexist double standard because of "women's feelings". Feelings do not excuse sexism, a woman's feelings are her responsibility.

None of those are problems "caused" by men, you are just arguing for women to receive the privileges of a masculine role in society without shouldering its burdens. The role of men puts the responsibility on them to found the university, fund the university, and build the university. Since women had none of these responsibilities, they also did not participate in the privileges of the unversity itself. If women wanted to go found their own unversity, fund it, and build it they can certainly make…

When you meet new people, classmates, coworkers, etc., the default is to be friendly; it doesn't mean you're going to be friends with everyone you meet, but because having a baseline of cordial behavior is the only way you're going to get to know new people.

I think women get hurt mainly because they incorrectly view male romantic interest as if it's only about her body, which is a thought that she has put into her own head and not a thought that is genuinely coming from the man.

I don't think this is a genuine take. Girls do not want everyone who has feelings for them to just walk up to them and express their feelings. Nor did everyone who is friendly with her and end up catching feelings have those intentions to begin with.

I think usually the problem is that friendship isn't explicitly stated the way romantic relationships are expected to be. The man usually never agreed to be "just a friend", the girl just gets it into her head that he's just being friendly, while the man has it in his head that he's building up to the possibility of romance.

I feel like it would take that long due to the sheer volume of your list -- If each of these are literal dealbreakers, as in having just one of them completely invalidates a partner even if they meet the other 99 out of the 100 conditions, then even if each condition individually is reasonable, having 100 of them means you are taking a reasonable percentage to the exponential power of 100, which greatly diminishes the available pool.

I would say that some of the beliefs that incel/blackpill communities can be seen as a reification of emotions.

I feel like I made the point pretty well, but it's still getting missed. Men being emotional or women being emotional isn't the crux of my point. My claim is that the reification of emotions is mainly in the domain of women. Men do not reify their emotions the way that women do.

I do consider anger an emotion. And it is certainly one of the emotions that men do reify.

Being stoic is the sign of emotional intelligence -- the understanding that, for example, feeling endangered and being in danger are two separate things; that your emotions do not define reality.

But even then, on the whole, men reify their emotions far far FAR less than women, because women will reify every emotion -- anxiety, shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger, jealousy, etc. We have examples on this very subreddit of women reifying all of these emotions, e.g. I feel threatened by men, therefore men are threatening. Someone made a comment that made me feel ashamed…

It's okay for your logic to be affected by your emotions, because you have metacognition of it -- You are able to talk about the fact that your logic is affected by your emotions, and this level of awareness lets you act on that higher level of understanding. The reification of emotions is different -- It is where you think reality actually starts and ends at how you feel. If someone says "Single mothers have a harder time finding a man to commit to them." and a woman hears this, feels shame bec…

They actually are gendered. Studies into phobias and neuroticism (non-judgementally, as in the context of the Big Five personality traits) do show that women predominantly are more afflicted by fears such as phobias as well as score more highly on the neuroticism scale. Mental illnesses of most kinds also seem to disproportionately affect women, whereas addiction disorders disproportionately affect men.

I'm sure there are fake-it-til-you-make-it people out there who think that being stoic means ignoring your emotions. But the tradition of stoicism is actually the awareness of your feelings and the integration of your emotions into your self, and being able to act in spite of how you feel. As the old adage goes, courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to act in spite of it.

I do think self reflection itself is a valuable skill, but the basic socialization that men are given is that self reflection isn't even necessary in order for them not to reify their emotions. The lack of validation they receive for their emotions already beats this into them as a natural state of affairs -- that reality exists outside of how they feel about it, and that as a man you have to act on reality and not on your feelings. There are good and bad about this, especially if it's out of ba…

I think that's actually an insightful perspective, that women view this as a zero sum game. I agree with this assessment, because women generally do not produce the resources that would make it a non-zero sum game whereas men do produce the resources, so to a woman it makes a lot of sense as to why they would view it as a closed system and see themselves as oppressed, whereas men see expansion as the natural state of affairs.

All feelings are grounded in reality in some way, like shadows on the wall. The problem is when you mistake the shadows on the wall for the reality that is casting those shadows. So by all means we should use the information from the shadows, but the detachment that we need to engage with the world on a higher level is realizing that the shadows are representations of reality, and are not by themselves reality.

I think I would agree with this. The base of your behavior is feelings, but if you want to live life making decisions on a higher level, you have to begin climbing those levels of thinking out of just base feelings. But definitely maintaining connection with how you feel is important, it just can't be the one thing that determines reality and how you make your choices.

It's an important skill to constantly be checking yourself for self-deception.

Yes, it's actually very important to have a base of understanding of your emotions as a man, because at the end of the day every decision we make is somehow derived from feelings, since it forms the base of the pyramid for our existence.

Yes, certainly men can be held by their emotions too, and can also act emotionally. But the central point here is that men do not reify emotions into being reality. For example -- and I'm not saying every man or every woman does this, but in general -- If a man cheats on his wife, and she gets angry, he understands that the problem is that he cheated. If a woman cheats on her husband, and he gets angry, she thinks that the problem is his anger. That's why when women are caught doing something wr…

I do recall that there was a study saying something to the effect of, people with tattoos find other people with tattoos more attractive, people without tattoos themselves however do not. I would say the pair bonding thing is probably gene…

A really problematic part of this kind of discourse online, especially from feminists, is that when women have a problem, we talk about what men need to do and what society needs to do to fix the problem. When men have a problem, the first instinct is to find a way how we can deflect it back onto what men need to do to fix it so that women don't have to do anything and society doesn't have to do anything. The ISSUE is that men are struggling, what you are trying to deflect with is that you THINK…

I feel really conflicted about a lot of these things nowadays. On the one hand, of course we want to protect people from harm.

It's literally in the OP -- A common narrative here is that women under 25 do not have fully developed brains, and so men who date women under the age of 25 are predators because the women are victims to this mental underdevelopment and they are being taken advantage of.

There are plenty of arguments on here that frame men dating younger women as the woman being a victim to a predatory man because the woman's brain isn't fully developed until she is 25. I'm challenging this narrative because if the woman is a victim here due to her mental underdevelopment, then this lack of mental agency requires that she also lose the privileges that come with it, meaning she cannot drive, vote, smoke, drink, or do sex work until she is 25 -- which is ad absurdum.

If you are going to make this argument for women to get less adult accountability because they are younger than 25, then women need to lose their adult privileges as well. No driving, voting, drinking, or university until they are older than 25 because they are not fully mature yet and not ready to handle the physical, political, biological, or financial responsibilities of these actions if they aren't even old enough to decide who they can date until they are 25.

Women love apathy, cruelty, and disrespect in men. Serial killers and their thousands of female fans tells you a lot about the female psyche. There's also an entire genre of fiction that tells you what women at their core actually want; 50 Shades of Grey and its adjacents never show a caring, kind, and respectful man who the lead falls in love with, this isn't some grand mystery that women love it when a man is transgressive.

Being "nice" is valuable for the woman, not for the man. It makes a man a more reassuring choice, but not a more attractive choice. Reassurance doesn't give the man any any leverage in the relationship; it only negotiates for the relationship when he is insufficiently attractive for her to choose him without him sacrificing to make her feel safe.

Your "being nice" strategy has worked for me and lots of people I know. You basically just described being a good boyfriend. However, I only do that stuff AFTER starting a relationship. I guess if you do all that stuff before it can come across as clingy. Then that's just a failing strategy; you're telling me that it only works for steps 3 and 4 but it can't survive steps 1 and 2. You basically still have to show asshole behavior to get past steps 1 and 2.

Depends on where you get your advice from, there is a significant portion of women telling men that in order to be more attractive, they should be more emotionally open, be willing to do more house chores, be more committed to their partner, make her feel safe, be more trustworthy, etc. These things increase a woman's feeling of security, it does not increase her feeling of attraction.

When women change something about their appearance, they actually really like it when someone they know calls positive attention to it, because (naturally) they are insecure about how it makes them look because it's new and different from what was safe (the appearance that everyone was already used to).

Men value both looks and personality, you probably lean more towards personality, but most men (especially for short term relationships) tend to lean towards looks. Pair bonding versus multiple partners has been a see-saw for most of human history. We are capable of both, and depending on circumstances we adapt and choose the more appropriate strategy for our environment. That's why most societies figured out that they needed external mechanisms to teeter closer towards pair bonding by having so…

She can become more attractive to a specific man through building an emotional bond with him, but cheating requires people outside of your relationship to find you attractive, so no -- in general the qualities that allow a woman to cheat go down as time passes because your physical attractiveness fades with age.

If you take women at their word, then women who say, "Just treat her like a human being." believe this.

/r/PurplePillDebate07/01/24 06:51 AM

Yeah, because you are missing the point. The ways in which a woman acts non-traditionally is not the same as the ways in which a man acts non-traditionally. Sexually speaking, this means that a woman is to be selective, and a man is to be active -- These ARE the traditional roles. A woman acquiring more sexual partners takes no effort from her, and demonstrates no value for men. A man acquiring more sexual partners DOES take effort from him, and demonstrates value for women.

If a man doesn't cum, and it's a problem in the bedroom, who do you think has the responsibility of fixing this problem from the woman's perspective? I can tell you that most women will not think that it is their responsibility.

This is why it's important to understand the woman's responsibility in the problems of the relationship. Because the number of perceived problems that a woman has with a relationship is inverse to how highly she rates her man.

I think you will see this pattern as long as women value things in men that take time to develop, like money, status, physique, and having a wife.

The thing is, geting stuff for free requires that you attract a traditional man fulfilling his role, and you would need to be a traditional woman fulfilling her role. And just off of how you look, I'm pretty sure you aren't attracting them because you have a very unorthodox aesthetic to your look that probably informs of a lot about your lifestyle and character.

When people give an excuse, they want to make it sound like it's one-way -- "I'm not ready for a relationship right now." or "I'm too busy to be dating at the moment." or "I'm still processing the previous breakup so I can't be dating yet." It's framed as if this is the thing they would say if anyone else had asked the question as well; it's not. They are saying, "I'm not ready for a relationship with you right now." and "I'm too busy …

Yeah, but women are born with their peak HANDED to them. They have to personally ruin it by wasting their youth and overeating. Men are not born muscular, rich, popular, educated, confident, or charismatic -- All of these are active things that men take decades of their life to earn.

Women giving sex is not seen negatively for itself; what is seen negatively is a woman's failure to secure a relationship and commitment. Each man that she sleeps with decided not to pursue a relationship with her, and that is what the actual red flag is when it comes to high body count.

What I am saying is that if a woman wants you to open up emotionally to her, that is specifically her selfish domain of wanting her half of the relationship, because the half of the relationship that the man wants is the desire from his partner. It's okay that it is se…

Sorry, I don't think I was clear enough. Every human interaction inherently has a power struggle at the bottom of it. You can choose to mask over it by having circumstances that make cooperation a viable strategy despite the power struggle, but it does not remove the foundation of the interaction. The reason this is important is because this lets you tell the difference between the effect of human nature and the effect of the institutions around them. When riots happen and police are unable to e…

Human interactions are only cooperative when the circumstances make cooperation a viable strategy. Just by looking at other cultures, you can see that people absolutely turn competitive instead of cooperative as soon as the circumstances of their environment make competition a better strategy.

Yes, and when women selfishly want men to be just as open and vulnerable as they are, they're asking for something that isn't to the benefit of the man, nor the relationship. She is a concave piece asking for her man to also be a concave piece so that they can have a connection; it doesn't work. You can be emotive and open, but if you are taking the masculine role then also necessarily you will need to be the stronger and less open one, so that the one taking the feminine role can feel the freed…

It's called Normative Male Alexithymia, you can look it up. It is clinically understood that men, as a default, have far less of a connection to their emotional inner world than women. The baseline of male emotiveness simply is provably lower than female emotiveness, and that's okay. The two sexes were not meant to be identical in every single way, because our roles are different in life.

Stoicism means that when you have feelings, you process them. You don't pollute your own relationships with the raw substance that freeflows in your mind.

It's called intersexual competition. It exists in all sexual animal species, of which human beings are one. There are strategies for cooperation as well as strategies for defection in intersexual dynamics, and so at times you can argue the sexes can be enemies when they choose not to cooperate.

You know how jigsaw pieces connect, where one piece has to be convex and one piece has to be concave? It's the same idea. You can't have both pieces of the puzzle be concave and expect a connection.

It's pretty simple; bad boys give them a range of emotions to feel, from positive to negative. Sensitive men only give them half of the emotional range of positive reassurance, and you can't compete with someone else who can hit all the highs and all the lows, because negative feelings aren't actually bad in a relationship -- they contribute to the feelings of excitement the same way a rollercoaster needs steep climbs and high drops in order to be exhilarating.

I wasn't asking specifically about sexual abuse, but that is one form of childhood trauma.

Take zero risks in life and focus on how to score high on SATs, take the right extracirricular activities, volunteer at the right organizations, apply for the right scholarships, get accepted into the right university, and get a safe job off of your diploma. Because if our parents are going to sacrifice their time and money to send us t…

It depends on what you mean, but take for example violence. If we want to look at the issue of violence in society through a lens of gender equality, then we would have to dedicate our time and resources proportionally to those who suffer. But despite men being by far more frequent victims of violence, a disproportionately large amount of focus is given to women who suffer from violence. With this as a backdrop, when you argue in favor of social and cultural support for men in ways that do not d…

I'd like to see some examples that you have seen of men treating a lack of attraction as misandry. What I see far more often is the absence of benevolent sexism towards women being treated as misogyny; in that women get so used to getting better treatment than men that its absence feels like oppression.

Except that when men DO emotionally support each other in ways that women don't find acceptable, they call it toxic masculinity. On top of this, feminist culture is moving to increasingly remove male spaces to turn them into mixed-gender spaces. Men are increasingly losing their spaces to socialize the way men do without the judgemental eyes of feminists.

This is fundamentally the problem; women think that men expressing their emotions means they have to do it the way that women express their emotions. It's not that men have just stuffed their emotions down and so they ignore them or are incapable of controlling them when they come out, it's that masculine expression of emotion is fundamentally way different than feminine expression, and it's normal and expected that a woman would be uncomfortable with masculine expression -- that is why men have…

But the reason why people say dating works better for men after 30 is because the things that men are valued for take SO LONG to build up, that it is unfeasible to believe a man in their 20s is going to be physically fit, mentally strong, emotionally stoic, financially secure, socially connected, an…

They aren't telling you this because they think not approaching will get you laid more lol.

This is the wrong frame to look at it through. No good cold approacher is going in to talk to women in a way that annoys her. At worst she is apathetic, but the point is always to aim for building a positive emotional experience for both of you, and at the very least to try to have her leave feeling flattered for the compliment of approaching her even if it doesn't work out.

In general, there are far more women for whom low-probability cautionary tales turn into anxious behaviors for lived reality. Despite society being safer than it's ever been, by and large women are still far more fearful of everything in the world than statistically makes sense, and I think a lot of it is owed to sharing stories of "worst case scenarios".

The circumstances that are forced upon a man is that it is his responsibility to choose to be charismatic to as many women as he can meet if he wants to be as romantically successful as possible.

Then women REALLY need to stop complaining about a lot. If you date a guy who didn't clean up after himself before you got together, it's controlling to want them to change now. If he wasn't emotionally open when you met, it's controlling to want them to change now. If they weren't the perfect lover your first time together, it's controlling to want them to change now. Your solution is basically that everyone should break up with everyone if any change is ever expected inside of a relationship.

Clearly the point of contention for women arguing against this is having to come to terms with the fact that the advances are NOT unwanted, that the younger woman IS providing her consent. If the advances were unwanted, then they wouldn't be in a relationship with the older man. Unless you're trying to argue DiCaprio's girlfriends are all rape victims?

Society doesn't tell women to want men, biology tells women to want men, and your trauma doesn't reflect on everyone else's experience. Most women enjoy the company of men, being in the world of someone who is a polar opposite of her but still sharing commonalities, being in the presence of masculine energy feels just as good for a woman as being in the presence of feminine energy for a man, and there are so many emotional doors in your brain to all sorts of experiences that your female friends …

Definitely. Human beings used to just get socialized as a course of necessity, but now the world makes socializing optional and a lot of people are falling off and not learning those skills, which interestingly also means that being just a little charismatic and a little bold already puts you way ahead of the average person. So take a risk and talk to that person, get out of your head and engage; the difference between a stranger and a friend or more can potentially just be a "Hey." I feel like …
