0	Men place women on a pedestal and in doing so they start to hate women for any show of humanity. Is it not simpler to assume men and women know less about what they truly want and more about what they believe they should want? And that the disparity between the two is what causes most of the issues? I think that is actually the case, in most cases.	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/07/26 03:46 PM
8	Would people view Forrest Gump differently if genders were swapped? It kind of reveals why many of the men here are single/desperate, they are utterly incompetent at understanding different perspectives and what motivates those perspectives. They seriously cannot understand that Jenny deeply loves Forrest, always did. She loves him so much and hates herself so much, that she pushes him away because she feels unworthy of his love and will only corrupt him. This is what thr narrative heavily implies, and at times makes it very explicit. The "I know what love is" s…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/06/26 05:01 PM
2	Would people view Forrest Gump differently if genders were swapped? I could probably scale back "everyone" but otherwise it's strange to me that you don't see the lack of sympathy for Jenny. The OPs text, and most comments in here imply a lack of sympathy towards Jenny. No further analysis about her, just she manipulated Forrest and that's it. They practically ignore everything about her except what is convenient for setting her up as some manipulative whore instead of a tragic character.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/06/26 04:26 PM
1	Would people view Forrest Gump differently if genders were swapped? The amount of people hating on Jenny, instead of understanding her, clearly demonstrates women don't get a pass either.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/06/26 03:48 PM
2	Would people view Forrest Gump differently if genders were swapped? The genders can't be swapped in Forrest Gump because the story wouldn't be coherent. Rewriting everything to make it coherent would make it such a different story that no one would recognize it as a gender swapped Forrest Gump. Everything that spun off of Vietnam would have to be thrown out and built from the ground up. That means no Bubba or Lt. Dan. But prior to that point, a gender swap basically means Forrest being sexually abused by his mother. After finally getting away from the abuse, he'…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/06/26 02:10 PM
8	Abortion should be legal but the women who unalive their children aren't good I wish more people could understand this. My wife and I learned, the hard way, that birth control is not 100% effective. We both recognized neither of us were ready to be parents, psychologically and financially. It was a difficult decision because we were forced to evaluate ourselves, our relationship, and what we had planned. Owning the choices either way, making the most responsible decision and then following through. It was more difficult than euthanizing a terminally ill pet that is is pai…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/05/26 08:05 PM
–	Mainstream feminism is in many ways a right-wing ideology. The power structure paradigm of the USA determines what aspects, if any, of an ideology gets expressed through the channels the state-aligned powers control. Translating that to a more intuitive statement makes it "The revolution will not be televised". Because the owners of corporations will not tolerate discourse that is critical of their behaviors to exist within their domain of control. Hence, the aspects of feminism that is amplified are those that align with corporate interests, making it …	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/01/26 06:11 PM
1	What (I think) Every Nice Guy Needs to Hear "Nice" is a generalism. It's not that it's good or bad; it's that it's satisfactory. If being nice is the primary quality of one's personality, it means they are uninteresting. That's the best case for it. In dating, attention is what everyone is trying to buy with the currency they have; looks, wealth, intelligence, interests, etc. And "nice" is has been hyper inflated.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/11/25 12:23 AM
7	Society Hates Men Who Adapt to the "New Normal" Created by Feminism I agree with almost everything you said, but one thing I take issue with is... Men criticize women for being stay at home and not working. Men criticize women who are SAH and don't contribute to the household, sure. Otherwise, other women are far more likely to criticize SAH women than men. Mom guilt/shame does not come from men. It comes from intragender, coupled with socioeconomic, power dynamics. Men generally don't consider a woman's income or career when it comes to dating because we are no…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/06/25 04:55 AM
–	I think men act and feel more entitled to romantic success than they realise Except they won't opt out of society, they will eventually gain enough numbers and burn society to the ground in one way or another. The second order effect is men losing a sense of purpose and grifters selling a false promise of finding it, packaged behind scapegoated women whose liberation destroyed a man's place in society and the household. The third order effect is women losing more and more rights because the grifters reach increasingly larger numbers of purposeless men who vote.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/06/25 02:13 AM
1	Husband material Big bingo! So many men operate within a drought framework when it comes to dating, and the way they commonly address it is so stupid. The top two methods are Quality/Quantity and Beggars-Settle, both of which are followed by overinvestment. Quality/Quantity is a good method, but there's a caveat: The Quantity must be there for it to work. A drought implies a lack of Quantity... Beggars-Settle is never good. Most men who do this end up getting screwed over, which makes them bitter and angry. They…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/02/25 10:09 AM
1	Rarely have women meet men that are truly unlucky with women. Its usually something he’s doing wrong. Your framing lacks the consideration of value matching. Workaholic means they value industriousness and productivity. Lazy boyfriend means they value low maintenance social interaction. Not social could mean they value their personal time more than social time. I can do this all day, but the point is that finding someone who has a similar set of values does involve a certain degree of luck. And it follows that if something involves luck, there will inevitably be unlucky people.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/02/25 12:08 PM
–	Ideologies turn young women obnouxious as a way to isolate them. It's not a young woman thing. It can be any combination of things like validation seeking, crusading/campaigning, convert seeking, etc. It's not necessarily the ideology, but the means in which it is expressed. And damn-near-every ideology has their set of assholes.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/02/25 11:50 AM
8	Most problems in the current dating climate would be solved if everyone was at a healthy weight If I were a woman in Japan or South Korea, I wouldn't date either. Structural misogyny is very real there.	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/02/25 08:33 PM
10	You cant claim “Men take responsibility more” in a sub where men cant be blamed for anything. This, but with some addendums... There are men/boys commenting here that are from different cultures. For instance, some may be commenting from the position of being a Saudi or Iranian, two cultures that hate women. You don't really know who you are talking to and what their background is, and that's fairly important. And then there are bad actors whose purpose is to exacerbate tensions, either as a job or for their own bizarre sense of pleasure.	/r/PurplePillDebate	18/01/25 01:09 AM
4	Women do actually hate the idea of sex robots despite saying otherwise. "Leave the good men for us" Lacks a bit of critical thought, doesn't it? All the women that were/are in abusive relationships were/are in those relationships. The people likely getting sex dolls are the ones that tend not to be in relationships, hence the desire for a sex doll. The men that exist in the prior set are different from the men in the latter set. And we know there are bad men in the prior set. Now, with that being stated, we can speculate more accurately.	/r/PurplePillDebate	16/01/25 02:03 PM
1	Progressivism has failed men by treating them as scapegoats rather than partners in the pursuit of equality I think there is some merit to what you say, but it appears incomplete. It's like you want to get there and you use the language that would get you to the core of the problem, but you don't for some reason. Even while brushing up against it. Since before written history, male value has been determined by their value they provided to their community. The respect, recognition, and validation they received were realized in the interaction with those in their community. The people they labored with,…	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/12/24 05:26 PM

The black nazi guy! But yeah, right leaning person with some kind of public presence... 99.9% of the time.

22	Those men who have asked out huge numbers of women and eventually managed to land a partner, how do you feel about it? I don't think the whole "Will someone please think of the women!" approach is going to garner much sympathy from those who have become desperate enough to engage in the numbers game. They likely started from the consideration of strangers' position and realized that it got them nothing and had to change strategies to get what they wanted out of life. Life is experiential, and those who succeed in it normally take an active role in making their life what they want it to be. It is what it is, and …	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/09/24 05:08 AM
12	Would you prefer to date in the West or Asia as a Man This is true. It's delivery (mail order bride) vs. curbside pickup (going to the place), both are founded in exploiting global inequality. She's not with the guy because of who he is, but because of where he's from. He is not a savior; he is a vehicle from a bad place to a better place. Once residency is established in a better place, then a reassessment occurs, and it will factor the others in the new environment. I think more people need to realize that dating is a lot like traffic, s.t. one i…	/r/PurplePillDebate	22/09/24 03:28 PM
1	Men don't want empathy, they want power I agree! I think essentialism is necessary when observing the concrete. Exactly! However, critical theory is more than the oppressor/oppressed dialectic. However, you do touch on the complexity of intersecting privileges/deprivations, which is known as intersectionality and it is a concept that originates from Feminist Critical Theory. (And that's kind of my point!) I'm not saying that there is some superior framework of analysis regarding all human relations. I'm saying that some frameworks are…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/09/24 04:27 AM
2	Men don't want empathy, they want power Liberalisms attempt to find and explain the cause of societal problems but forego the use of critical theory. Without critical theory, some explanations of social phenomena from the feminist perspective require the reliance on essentialism. This is what causes some feminists to believe "A man is guilty/bad until proven innocent/good." As well as the pathologization of masculinity, with vague definitions of toxic masculinity and no definition of safe masculinity, while toxic feminity is inconceiv…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/09/24 05:25 PM
5	Misandrist is justifiable. Misogyny isn’t. I’m beginning to think it doesn’t work but the rates of violence only seem to increase. Except that they are decreasing. That's just one of the many ways your analysis is not based in reality. You should work on that before wanting to be taken seriously.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/09/24 01:37 PM
-1	If most men followed the "look for implicit attraction signals / read the room / make sure there is some interest" advice that is given, most men would have minimal opportunities I'm thinking that... Maybe... Just, maybe... Men should be put in an effort to be physically fit. Then put in the effort to improve their appearance, look healthy, and smell and act pleasant. After that, get some black t-shirts made that say in large font, "Single and friendly. Open to conversation if you talk to me." Or something to that effect. Wear it every where it is not inappropriate.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/09/24 09:37 PM

-2	Women resent men by default, so they shouldn't act so shocked about men having negative views on them too. Generally, the onus of reporting falls on the victim. We can claim all kinds of justifications for not reporting, but in the end, it is generally the victims' responsibility to proclaim the harm that they have suffered. Failure of justice is certain if it is never sought.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/09/24 01:43 PM
4	Would you allow your daughter to go to college? Isn't that antithetical to red pill ideology, specifically in regards to "shouldn't"? I thought red pill ideology was all about coming to terms with the "reality" of the dating economy and optimizing oneself (which implicitly requires a lifestyle change) to increase one's demand.	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/09/24 05:19 PM
-1	Would you allow your daughter to go to college? Interestingly enough, as fewer men go to college and with the gap increasing between the sexs in terms of college attendance, intrasexual competition increases for attending women. But the fascinating part is that women do not respond to scarcity the same way men do! Men will restructure their ranking system to what is available to them individually, whereas women will abandon dating if the mate quality available to them drops below some intrasocial threshold relative to where they believe they …	/r/PurplePillDebate	02/09/24 04:33 PM
3	The idea that straight dating is disadvantageous to women is not only false, but also extremely biased. Your comment inspired this thought: Maybe that's a mating strategy?

–	In your opinion how do we bring the sexes back together? I find it incredibly telling that the antinatalists aren't committing suicide in droves. If the disdain for humanity is such to see it end, then why not end one's own life? If nothing matters, and there is certainty in that, then the fastest way to end humanity is to end one's own life because that effectively ends humanity for that individual. But they don't, which means something keeps them from doing so, and that means something matters.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/08/24 03:44 PM
1	CMV: women aren't empathetic caring individuals The study does not look at any trait that is linked to being a terrible person, other than aggression. The trait you are not seeing is on page 585. So why is the study relevant? Did you read it? If you can not understand its relevance to our discussion, then I think the issue is a matter of comprehension and association.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/08/24 04:50 PM
2	CMV: women aren't empathetic caring individuals Circling back to the aggression parameter after we already established it was not the only metric for terrible behavior. Hyde's study is a meta-analysis of the mental differences between genders, and it concludes that men and women are more mentally similar than dissimilar, and where they are dissimilar, the differences are not significant. If men and women are so similar mentally, then motivation and intention will be equal to that similarity with the dissimilarities not being significant in re…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/08/24 06:50 AM

I'm not being facetious towards the anti-choicers either. I can't remember what it was called, but it is very rare.

1	Women often confuse drama for passion and that's why they get bored of stability To add clarity... It is impossible to create a logical system to accurately predict human behavior because a significant portion of human behavior is instinctual and emotional. when someone tries to catch a ball they put their hands in a particular position This is behavior.

If we're talking environmentally, then I'm open to entertaining the idea, but I would caution adopting a relatively new theory in psychology.

4	Women often confuse drama for passion and that's why they get bored of stability Suppose that the SO of a person with an avoidant attachment style came to them with something that made them upset. They may attempt to invalidate their SOs' feelings because invalid things can be more easily discarded. Engagement means empathizing, and that requires some degree of vulnerability. So why engage with something that is invalid? "You're being silly! That shouldn't upset you because it does actually affect you!" They could also earnestly engage, but they would have very limited stami…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/24 05:08 AM
16	Women often confuse drama for passion and that's why they get bored of stability I don't think attachment styles are an active thought process in most people. I am under the impression that it is a problem-solving behavior that is trained by prior relationships and relationship models. That is, the person gets the feeling that something is off in the relationship and attempts to solve it with the communication style they are most accustomed to for the context.

2	Men's romantic success depends on their ability to succeed at patriarchy and capitalism That's a really poor analogy, but I understand why it seems like it makes sense. It's an unfortunate reality that because of a massive propaganda campaign, most people have defined socialism by an implementation of it rather than what it is. The fundamental difference between capitalism and socialism is how, and if, decision-making authority is distributed. If decision-making authority is only distributed amongst shareholders or rests in a single person, then it is a Capitalism. If decision-maki…	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/07/24 05:01 PM

And we should not confuse a disorder with a disability while acknowledging that there could be an overlap on a case-by-case basis. Autism is a disorder and only extreme cases does it present as a disability, and that's generally a result of some nasty comorbidity. I'm not disagreeing with you, only adding more information.

3	Too many women are seriously NOT looking for an actual human connection with a man. Your phrasing is weird but if you mean "Why do you care about who is or is not dating who?" Then I have a valid answer for that. We should all care about whether or not young men have romantic prospects (as well as economic prospects) because if they don't in large enough, they will make it society's problem in some bad ways. Increase in crime and an increase in authoritarianism. Both of those suck for everyone.	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/05/24 12:53 AM

1	South Korea is officially taking steps to address its low birth rate. Do you think they’ll be successful? Humans want to have children because it's instinctual. We define a developed country by the state of it's economy, and the stressors that come with a developed country are embedded within the class tension of capitalism.

It's vastly easier to blame some external entity than to look at oneself objectively and truthfully, and then change one's behavior to address or compensate. You can go into every popular post in PPD and see it; men blaming women and/or saying that some perceived shortcoming is what prevents them from making friends/dating.

7	Post-Wall women who date previously looked over men will never be able to prove they love these men. The more exclusive an offering is, the more validation a man has that you love him. This is your youth, your fertility or your chastity. Men feel this validation at an emotional level because you’re choosing them through a tangible sacrifice. Like it or not this is how men experience love. Except that isn't true because there are tons of people* who find love well after all those things could not be considered exclusive. *This means men find "post-wall" women who make them feel loved, and vice-v…	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/04/24 05:42 AM
1	Why are people still so hesitant to admit that two-parent households are best for kids and that fathers are important? Two parent households where both parents are in a loving relationship (and care about their children) is what is best for their children. Two parent households where both parents are fighting and stressed all the time (but care about their children) is going to fuck up their kid/kids. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that children with access to more resources and a stable environment are more likely to flourish than the alternative. Most people here have never been in the situation where …	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/03/24 04:55 PM

It's not about "mental fortitude", it's about positive feedback and reinforcement; and that doesn't mean positive by your definition, it means positive by their definition.

4	When men call women “illogical,” do they genuinely believe she is literally not following a rationale? They also don't understand that feelings precede logic. What an individual feels is important is what determines their values and thus their ethics. Then logic comes into play to determine if an action is in accordance with those ethics. The selection of branching is weighted by those ethics, which is to say it is weighted by feelings. Logic can only determine if a choice is sound and valid. Not what is right or wrong, that is the domain of ethics.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/02/24 07:51 PM

A discovery from neuroscience is that novel experiences are more memorable than stable daily patterned experiences, and this is what creates the "time flies by" effect as we age. Our brain stops dedicating memory to our commonly repeated tasks. Experience could be said as things we learn but we don't learn much, if anything, from repeated behavior over time. So experience could be stated as novel experiences. One person c…	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/02/24 04:36 PM

11	Is it wrong to "settle" because you can't get what you really want? Perfect is the enemy of good. Trying to find the perfect person for yourself will only deprive you of the opportunities with people who are good for you. And that is making the massive assumption that you know who is perfect for you, they exist, you can find them, and they would be interested. Find someone who puts effort into the relationship and into themselves. You put effort into yourself and your relationships. This is the way to a good life, there are no other paths.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/02/24 06:23 AM
