| 1 | Fuck off amazon, we know that you would never advertise male run businessesI don't particularly agree no Well, then we disagree on how human psychology works. I don't agree that even if it were true, it would make it right to use government funds (or that it would be in the government's purview) to address that. Why not? If true, then there is a public interest in having roughly equal representation based on demographic variables like race and sex, so why wouldn't the government have an interest in promoting that? | /r/MensRights | 27/02/19 05:52 PM |
| 2 | Fuck off amazon, we know that you would never advertise male run businessesDo you agree that people's decisions about which career paths to pursue in life are in part influenced by the careers of people who look like them (e.g. gender, race, etc), such that, if there aren't any/many examples of successful female doctors, girls will be less likely to pursue careers as doctors? | /r/MensRights | 26/02/19 05:53 PM |

| -6 | Fuck off amazon, we know that you would never advertise male run businessesEh...not sure I agree with that. There is a public interest in diversity efforts, it’s just that you don’t want the government discriminating or forcing discrimination in actual hiring/enrollment/funding, etc. I’m open to having my mind changed on this though, if you can give me some good arguments. | /r/MensRights | 26/02/19 01:34 PM |

| 82 | Fuck off amazon, we know that you would never advertise male run businessesSaw a poster today on the subway, encouraging women to sign up for business school. Got no problem with that—it’s just encouraging a group who doesn’t typically go into business to do so. But actively promoting sexist consumer practices? Yeah, fuck you, Amazon, and anyone else who thinks you get equality via discrimination. | /r/MensRights | 26/02/19 07:02 AM |

That got me thinking about my country (U.S.), so I looked it up: https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/398450/number-of-us-organ-donors-by-gender.jpg Roughly equal since around the late 90’s, but you start seeing disparities again in recent years.

Not all schizophrenic parents are unfit, if you can believe it. I treat several parents (male and female) who are perfectly good with their kids. The key is treatment—they all get treatment. So, my main question is this: was she in treatment when the judge awarded her custody? Because the idea of a judge awarding her custody when she was not in treatment is so ludicrous I’m skeptical that was really the case.

| 4 | Q4W: Have you ever blamed yourself for your dating problems?I’m suprized you see women blaming men more, because my experience is that most girls (even the conventionally hottest ones) are balls of insecurity and question themselves all the time. These are not mutually exclusive attitudes, strangely enough. Or rather, there are plenty of women who alternate between them at an alarming rate. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/02/19 09:32 AM |
| 12 | Imagine genders reversed, would a man successfully bullying his depressive vulnerable gf into killing herself, through thousands of calls and messages everyday, get just 1 year sentence?Actually, she got 2.5 years, but is eligible for parole at 15 months, then has 5 years worth of probation (meaning she has to be on perfectly good behavior during that period). We need to develop new sentencing guidelines for psychopaths. | /r/MensRights | 25/02/19 09:25 AM |
| 6 | Single motherhood partially responsible for the resentment towards womenI’m sorry you had such a shitty upbringing, but you’re really over-generalizing here. The vast majority of men raised by single moms don’t grow up to have these issues with women. Assuming you agree with that (I can try to look up some stats if you don’t, but it’s kind of obvious to me, anecdotally), how can you think these issues are a result of single motherhood, rather than a combination of factors? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/02/19 09:18 AM |
| 1 | I thought you guys would appreciate this. a 3 and a half minute gif of Dads and their babies. Positive Masculinity.Yes. I’d much rather have it stripped of any real meaning apart from being male than have it subject to the whims of feminists or traditionalists. At the very least, that way the term can’t be used to shame people. Most men these days don’t bother with the term. I know precisely one guy who strives to “be a man,” and he’s arguably much worse off for it, not because the traits he associates with masculinity are inherently bad (feminists would say they are though), but because he ignores other opt… | /r/MensRights | 25/02/19 08:36 AM |
| 2 | I thought you guys would appreciate this. a 3 and a half minute gif of Dads and their babies. Positive Masculinity.If you think that, then you missed my point. What feminists are proposing is that we tackle the problem of negative male stereotypes being linked to people’s senses of masculinity by splitting masculinity into “toxic” and “healthy” versions of it. What I’m suggesting is that we divorce all male stereotypes from our concept of masculinity, period. Masculinity is just being male, end of definition. By creating two sub-categories of masculinity, you just reinforce the legitimacy of the stereotypes … | /r/MensRights | 24/02/19 09:40 PM |

I’m sorry, but I just don’t trust anyone to do this fairly. Since it’s obviously about forcefully changing the demographic breakdown of a department, what’s the goal breakdown you’re shooting for? Equal representation across all demographic lines? Hardly seems realistic or fair. Representation that matches representation in the populace?

| 2 | Confession: I brought a girl home after a date, but something felt wrong so I asked her to leave. She got mad and acted like I was being an ass for doing so.We were at a bar and a couple drinks in we had our first kiss, which I am perfectly fine with; one kiss at the bar is cute. However, she kept wanting to go on for full make-outs, and I told her that PDA of that level made me uncomfortable (I am not in college anymore, and this wasn’t that type of bar) and this was a packed bar so that made it even worse. What you’re noting here seems not just like sexual aggressiveness, but also immaturity. Public make-out sessions are the stuff of adolescents a… | /r/MensRights | 24/02/19 07:34 PM |

| 26 | I thought you guys would appreciate this. a 3 and a half minute gif of Dads and their babies. Positive Masculinity.No, you’re talking about male stereotypes, and that’s just that they are: stereotypical ideas about men that aren’t actually representative of most men. We need to purge those ideas from our society rather than attribute them to some abstract concept of what it “means” to be a man. Clinging to the idea that masculinity itself incorporates behaviors that not all men exhibit just reinforces those stereotypes. The “toxic masculinity” narrative is about reprogramming men to be more amenable to femin… | /r/MensRights | 24/02/19 11:59 AM |
| 37 | I thought you guys would appreciate this. a 3 and a half minute gif of Dads and their babies. Positive Masculinity.Masculinity is the state of identifying as male and nothing else. It is neither positive nor negative, toxic nor healthy. | /r/MensRights | 24/02/19 11:48 AM |
| 3 | Why does r/feminism hate men? I thought that feminism stood for equal rightsMost feminists don’t “hate men” in the literal sense of the phrase, but they are nonetheless profoundly biased against us and beholden of some extremely misandrist (anti-male) views (e.g. boys need to be taught not to rape and abuse women, it’s perfectly fine to mutilate boys’ genitals via circumcision, women deserve lesser criminal sentences than men for the same crimes, etc).

Seems like she admitted to trying to discourage you guys from participating based on your gender alone; even though it was about volunteering, that seems like it would have Title IX all over it, as it happened at school and she was operating in a professional capacity. | /r/MensRights | 24/02/19 10:26 AM |

| 0 | (Discussion) The female perspective equivalent to women are wonderful, "Men are Simple"“Women are wonderful” is a stereotype that gets women let off the hook for tons of shit; your “analogue” is a stereotype that degraded men. A better analogue is the “boys will be boys” one. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/19 07:23 AM |
| 15 | Woman prefers a “tight” circumcision... Essentially, she is saying she prefers a penis that has no mobile skin system. No movable tissue on the shaft. Does anyone else understand the depth to this perversion?This would be similar to men saying they like tight or “neat” pussies (where the labia don’t hang out), except in this case, she’s specifically saying she likes a particularly well-mutilated penis. So, the real equivalent would be a guy saying he likes a vag that’s had its labia expertly trimmed. | /r/MensRights | 23/02/19 01:38 AM |
| 1 | Has anything ever made you really question the validity of your viewpoint?Sometimes, when I consider what most “coffee shop” feminists seem to think, I think maybe I’m just taking men’s rights too seriously and becoming like the crazy radfems I knew in college who I couldn’t stand. Buuuuut...then some op-ed from a mainstream feminist comes out, talking about how women should hate all men or how all masculinity is toxic, and I’m reminded that I’m totally sane for thinking mainstream feminism is a willing haven for and fomenter of real misandry. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/19 01:21 AM |

However, when I voted for him in 2016, he was of the opinion that college rape should be handled by the police; since then he’s changed his views and made statements supporting Obama’s Title IX policies. For once, I’m glad he doesn’t stand a chance. | /r/MensRights | 23/02/19 01:14 AM |

This is about how the film’s marketing is involving feminist political agendas, not the actual quality of the film itself. I’m king to see it too, but I won’t see it in theaters. I want the film to do terribly at the box office, but I still want to see it.

Because feminists aren’t really interested in helping men, which is made obvious from their rhetoric, actions, and overall activism.

The real ones are good people who don’t really have a problem with women, just the game and the laws. Frustration breeds anger, that’s for sure, but there’s no real hate.

It’s not that men can’t exhibit the same overreaction to infidelity that you saw in those female audiences, it’s that our society makes it taboo.

To me that veers too close to making adultery illegal, and I’m not trying to be that kind of Empress. Oh, I very much disagree. Paternity fraud is tricking a person into funding another person’s life for 20 years. It’s a particularly cruel form of theft, not just an emotional harm created by an age-old mating practice.

Your prime minister asks what should the punishment for paternity fraud be.Well, the reason I’m asking is because you say there should be no punishment for paternity fraud, and the only way I can see that being justified is if you make it so that fraud is impossible to commit. Only way to do that is by mandatory testing of every child at birth, but you’re saying parents can “opt out” of that testing? Or did you mean both parents opt out of parenthood? Shouldn’t testing still be done? And what about children that aren’t born in a hospital? Basically, if you’re saying th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/01/19 07:32 PM |

This guy didn’t do anything to his family, and the “consequences” you speak of are all based on faulty assumptions about his motives.

Connections with other people. When we become attached to others, seeing them happy becomes an interest of ours, and… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 04/01/19 07:46 AM |

This sub is probably more inflammatory than not. And since it’s about debating TRP, yes, most of the inflammatory ones are about women, but that doesn’t excuse the ones about men.

| 1 | Q4ALL: To what extent should a man pay for a woman on dates (and beyond)?(Strategically, not morally.) Still depends on your goal. If you’re just trying to bag her for the night, paying is probably the better option with most women. However, if you’re going for an LTR, paying early on sets up the expectation that it will continue, making your potential future girlfriend a huge cash drain. Also, if it’s an LTR, morality kind of does come into it, because you’ll likely want someone who shares your moral views on the topic. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/01/19 03:49 PM |

That being said, I’m not a lawyer, so maybe I’m wrong on some points here. But that’s always been my understanding of how life sentences work here. | /r/MensRights | 07/12/18 01:42 PM |

This study finds they are not.I guess so. It’s just that a greedy woman has different methods available to get wealth, such as marrying richer guys. Not as many men can pull that off in this kind of culture/society/whatever. Well, sure, statistically that’s true, because men control more of the wealth in the economy, but I think it’s kind of missing the point as far as explaining the phenomenon.

| 5 | Q4W: Why do nice guys consistently lose out to men like this?For the same basic reasons a lot of men get into LTRs with crazy/abusive women. “Bad” men and women are often exciting in their “good” moments, whereas “good” men and women are often comparatively boring. The more pertinent question, in my opinion, is why “bad” men are blamed for their badness, but the men who date “bad” women are held responsible for “putting their dick in crazy.” Just more of the empathy gap and pretty much everyone—feminists included—not holding women accountable for their ch… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/18 12:04 PM |

The thing about emotionally unstable women is that, when they’re bad, they’re really bad, but when they’re good, they’re really good. Men being—on average—more emotionally stable than women, we can deal with women’s “drama” better than other women can, which I think a lot of women would attest to. As such, a lot of men can deal with the emotional bullshit dramatic women throw at them (i.e. emotional abuse) in exchange for the good… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/12/18 04:46 AM |

The child’s needs are taken care of, arguably better by either a willing and able mother or by the government than by our current system that holds many unwilling fathers accountable, and jails them if they can’t pay.

Pregnancy is, miscarriages are, hormonal changes, STDs, unwanted children, etc, but abortion doesn’t result from sex. In point of fact, as I said, it is a modern medical procedure designed to spare women one of the consequences for them.

But what I find misandrist is that it seems like your presumption that this will occur is based on the view that most/all men are deadbeats-in-waiting, who need the fear of CS to keep them involved in their children’s lives to begin with.

No, I’m really not, and these semantics are actually vital to not just the rationale for LPS laws, but legal abortion too. The argument for abortion rests on the notion that fetuses below a certain level of development do not count legally as children, and thus terminating them is not murder.

| 7 | Consenting to sex is not consenting to being a father!So yes, a woman can legally have an abortion, but can you explain why that fact should have any bearing on who should have to pay for a child? Sure. Because a woman doesn’t abort a child, she aborts a fetus. And likewise, a man doesn’t help create a child when he accidentally gets a woman pregnant, he helps create a fetus.

So is he really “the provider?” Also, it extends to payment on dates, regardless of the woman’s personal income level. And if money wasn’t a factor, it’d be about food, shelter, and other goods.

Being willing to sacrifice your physical safety for that of others is a form of bravery, but it doesn’t have a specific term in psychology. It’s probably related to altruism, impulsivity, and risk-taking though. Anyway, none of this detracts from your argument that women don’t understand men.

| 2 | I need help shuting my family's mouthMy parents are the same way, and any discussion I’ve had with them about it has turned into a fight. I’ve made the decision to not try to change their attitudes anymore, and just told them I think they’re sexist. It’s not worth ruining my relationships with them, since they’re unlikely to change their minds. I already showed them plenty of facts, but they just dismissed them as irrelevant. So, my advice would be to leave it alone and focus on changing open minds. Closed ones are a waste of time. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/18 10:06 PM |
| 1 | How do you feel about the term “toxic masculinity” ?It’s a term feminists use to disguise their desire to change culture to mold men more to feminist desires as an attempt to help men. It’s also used to lay many social ills at the feet of men, such as rape, mass murder, racism, and crime in general. So basically it’s just their newest tool for criticizing men as a gender—something they call sexist when done to women. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/18 10:03 PM |
| 3 | I feel like the end result of feminism will be the inverse of pre-women’s rights for menFeminism is based on the notion that men are privileged and women are oppressed, so in their view, men don’t need any male-exclusive services, and any that exist are examples of patriarchy. Feminist theory is a closed loop: completely unprovable or disprovable. It’s like a religion that way, and so it’s not surprising at all that it’s gotten increasingly radical and fanatical. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/10/18 09:54 PM |

Why don’t we just label the people creeped out by it “sensitive snowflakes?” Seems to me that, if a minority of people find it creepy, it shouldn’t be called creepy, and if we’re going to call things creepy that creep out most people, we should call people creeped out by things that don’t creep most people out “sensi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/18 11:28 PM |

| 2 | Q4W: Do you think a guy becomes more attractive if you find out he is taken?As a man, my impression is that, no, most women are not more turned on when they find out that a guy is taken. However, there is a subset of women who are insecure about their own attractiveness, and the way some of them cope with that is by proving their own desirability to the opposite sex by “outdoing” other women. These women are also the type that get jealous when other women are getting attention for their looks.

I’m sorry, but I find that really hard to believe. If you see an attractive man in a bar and go hitting on him, does your attraction evaporate as soon as you find out he’s got a girlfriend? Gay people crush on straight people and vice versa all the time. A person not being eligible as a sexual option has very little to do with their level of attractiveness to others.

| 7 | Q4W: Do you think a guy becomes more attractive if you find out he is taken?Taken men are “safer” because they are less likely to be creepy or sexually predatory meaning a woman can be more open and warm with him. I don’t think that’s true at all, unless you think many women can’t distinguish between flirtation and “creepy,” “sexually predatory” behavior, which implies nefarious intent. I think women are more comfortable around taken men, simply and only to the extent that they know they don’t have to worry about having to deal with unwelcome advances (regular flirtatio… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/18 08:35 PM |

I'm curious if anyone actually believes this, and why?The problem comes in with modern feminist definitions of rape, which they innocently claim is just “sex without consent,” but that seemingly innocuous phrase becomes distorted when you look at how they define consent. Under affirmative consent, a woman who doesn’t feel like having sex with her boyfriend when he’s horny, but does just to please him, has been raped. Similarly, women who are extremely intoxicated—but not to the point of passing out—are incapable of providing consent, because they’r… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/10/18 06:30 PM |
