OP proves TBP are better people though No he doesn't. His data in biased in favor of TBP, and he readily admits that. He said that if he analysed TBP by the exact same content that he analysed TRP for, then it would look MUCH MORE hateful.

TBP don't hate you red pillers. I'm willing to bet that you cannot factually speak for all TBP'ers everywhere when you make blanket statements like that.

There's no way to satisfy everyone, but most people should (in theory) be able to agree that a comment that is considered "hateful" in a sub they oppose should logically be considered equally as "hateful" in their own sub if it contained the same words/sentences. If they cannot agree to that, then THEY, not you, are the biased one who cannot debate in good faith and with intellectual honesty. If TBP is shown to be far more hateful through an evenly-applied standard of comment content, then so be…

I'm more interested in what happens when you score the two subs ON THE SAME CRITERIA/METHODOLOGY. Does TRP suddenly seem a lot LESS hateful, when judged by the TBP methodology? Does TBP become MUCH MORE hateful when judged as harshly as TRP?

Started out as a way to point out Reddit's shitty behavior. Turned into a gathering place to brigade threads and doxx commenters they didn't like. A couple of the site admins are buddy-buddy with the mods there so they never end up having action taken against them despite violating site-wide rules.

Those of us who get it, can only try to correct the record. But you are trying to "correct the record" without any concrete data of your own, and only further anecdotes. That is not an actual correction, just an insertion of meaningless drivel that derails into semantics.

how is that not the rational choice? We weren't even talking about "choice". Can you please try to stay on topic here. YOu made a strawman statement, got called out on it, and then called said statement "rational". I said it wasn't, especially given your highly prolific misrepresentation of TRP on an almost daily basis.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/07/17 07:35 PM

First, I'm not TRP. Second... This is the rational conclusion if you believe all women are inferior to men like a lot of RPillers believe. ...is not a question.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/07/17 07:26 PM
1

I'm perfectly on-topic. You just aren't choosing to exercise reading comprehension. You said TRP promotes discrimination. I rebutted that by pointing out that it's feminists, not TRP, who are passing discriminatory laws. It's not my fault that you either do not understand or will not acknowledge logic.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/07/17 07:25 PM

I asked a specific question to RPillers. No, you didn't. If you look below, I've quoted what I was responding to. You'll see exactly ZERO questions in there. With all due respect, I think you missed the point. TRP promotes the idea that all women are irrational, irresponsible etc. etc. I meant that this mindset can promote discrimination in other aspects of liek like in the workplace and you can't deny that some RPillers indeed have that mindset. You are trying to blame TRP for any and all perce…

TRP isn't writing or passing laws. TRP isn't hiring men over women in every workplace everywhere. TRP isn't the reason your country is in the shitter.

She's Greek, mate. No government systems works there anymore. She's mad at capitalism because they (the Greek banks/govenrment) borrowed against her future and couldn't repay it. It isn't the system's fault. The system is working as intended.

I wouldn't necessarily call it "rational". Especially considering how may similar posts you've made just in my time on this sub, let alone the months/years before that. More like a personal vendetta than anything else.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/07/17 06:25 PM

TRP does actively encourage these stereotypes But women make up the VAST MAJORITY of HR departments. So it isn't even men doing the discriminating in hiring practices.
/r/PurplePillDebate14/07/17 06:24 PM

There are many RPillers that think women should be legally discriminated against. And yet it's feminists who've managed to actually PASS LAWS discriminating against men. Methinks you aren't arguing for equality so much as just getting your feelings hurt.

Isn't that the point of science? To elucidate truth? You have no problem arguing your views when it suits you/BP narrative, but refuse to when it doesn't. All I'm saying is that's hypocritical of you. I get that you're on reddit for entertainment, and not for more work. And I'm not saying it's like a sacred duty of yours to correct every person on PPD. I'm just saying that it's awfully convenient that you only care to debate others when it suits you, despite being on a DEBATE sub. It sort of imp…

I believe that just because you aren't a certain gender doesn't mean you cannot relate or make observation about them. Then by all means, please openly refute those other BP'ers who feel the need to continually say otherwise, as above. In a debate, silence is usually implied agreement.

Just because we are both under the BP banner doesn't mean we always agree. No, but it does mean that you are both representing a BP viewpoint with your opinions - otherwise why flair yourself that way. And said viewpoint trends towards promoting a double standard, as seen by its representatives. You're welcome to whatever opinions you both may have. But you both need to acknowledge the intellectual dishonesty involved in espousing the double standard.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/17 02:37 PM
1

No, it was directly relevant, since GreekLady was saying that men could never understand women's experiences, which is a common BP statement around here. I was pointing out that you, a BP'er, also say that women absolutely can understand men's experiences. Thus BP'ers are either hypocritical or you all have zero internal consistency.
/r/PurplePillDebate13/07/17 12:25 PM

It is perfectly possible to be caring without being clingy, protective without being possessive, and strong without being a stone wall. And yet that describes your bf, according to you - and that is who you choose to be with. So maybe it isn't as much as you want to believe. I didn't find the joke funny at all. Understandable, since it probably hit close to home.

I think saying everyone cares is a massive overstatement. Only those with very little else going on in their lives seem to be the ones who have the time to care. I personally couldn't give less of a shit about the sex lives of RP men. If they're fucking, more power to them. If they aren't, well then hopefully their ideology will help them achieve getting laid on the regular. If it doesn't, then maybe they will alter that ideology or find a different/new one. People who are not RP men that endles…

Claiming that it's not surprising that a feminist wouldn't bother reading sources is a blatant dig at feminists Only the hypocritical ones. If you feel included in that group, perhaps you should look inward as to why that would be. My comment was just a reply in kind. No it wasn't, as I did not personally attack you.

I'm not the original person you were replying to, and you don't know what I think about feminists. I merely used the verbiage of your own comment to point out your hypocrisy in not reading the links that he did post.

More like why be so serious about something like snapping? I'm not serious at all. It's a meme that the Snap puppy filter is the realm of basic white girls everywhere.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/07/17 03:39 PM
1

If a girl using a puppy face snap filter discovered workable cold fusion, I'd be inclined to drop the "basic" moniker, but since that has never happened it's a moot point. Also, your defensiveness is quite telling. If you're offended that some girls don't need to use a snap filter to showcase their looks or life, then that's just masked jealousy.

The connection to sex however is tenuous at best. Not really. It's the most common activity between almost all ethnicities/cultures/civilizations.

No, men like the reward feedback loop induced by video games that cause a dopamine and seratonin release in the brain. Same reason most addicts engage in whatever addictive behavior they each have. Same reason extreme sports "adrenaline junkies" do what they do. Because it can be counted on to feel good.
/r/PurplePillDebate10/07/17 12:42 PM

How am I meant to even make a logical argument against such a nonsensical statement? Do you honestly believe that activities which induce dopamine & seratonin release via reward feedback loops can't be habit-forming? Would you say that "adrenaline junkies" aren't real either?

That's not being on topic Replying about sub rules when someone else is talking about sub rules is DIRECTLY on topic. I'm not sure why you can't grasp that.

if you had nothing to say, you could leave me alone What I said was on topic within the confines of my original reply. You began making personal attacks from there. We were discussing downvoting as a sub rule, then discussed circlejerking, which is also a sub rule. It was still on topic until you began making false accusations. So again, I'm sorry that you feel attacked by direct reading of your comments.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/07/17 04:38 PM

Resorting to personal attacks and trying to intimidate me into leaving for having an opinion different than yours are not appropriate responses. I've done neither. I'm sorry that you feel attacked by direct observations of your behavior. Perhaps altering said behavior would result in more favorable responses.
/r/PurplePillDebate07/07/17 04:25 PM

Well then you accused my comment history of displaying examples of circlejerking without even looking at it? I read threads on this sub most days. I saw an unfamiliar name pop up posting odd comments for the last day or so, and responded accordingly. That doesn't require reading your history, nor does it imply so. I did no circlejerking. Add lack of self-awareness to your list of failures for the day.

If that was a part of male attraction it might be analogous, but it isn't But, what if that's my fetish? I also object to the idea that being a fun, charismatic, interesting guy equals "dancing monkey" behaviors. So, you've never met an introvert/loner? Because for someone to whom those are not natural acts, it is very much a "dancing monkey" behavior. Especially when it's specifically for someone else's benefit.

"Bad sex" for men still leaves some part of them satisfied Well, the part that needs release, yes. But not the part that enjoys the activity. I think men can compartmentalize better than women in that regard. And FYI, sex can be painful for men as well. Ask any dude who's had a woman go for Cowboy only to bend his dick over how that feels for days afterwards, or one who gets too agressive with the balls. Obviously it's not on the same scale that women deal with, but it's a real thing.

This is a test of your reading comprehension. Really? Because it comes off as a failed test of YOUR reading comprehension. You make claims about TRP stating TBP doesn't understand nuance, and then you go and prove it with this post.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/06/17 03:34 PM

"Bad sex" for men and "bad sex" for women are two very different beasts. Certainly. But I think there is also a deeper psychology at work here. Most men would still take bad sex over no sex, whereas most women would not. (At least from the discussions I've seen here, that is by no means a definitive scientific statement) It also serves as an excellent example of sex being a need versus simply an enjoyable activity.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/06/17 03:28 PM

Maybe because it's such a nebulous and wide-ranging scale. Similarly, I could say I've had plenty of "bad food", but without any further explanation, you have no concept of what I actually mean by that.

"Are going to be" is a presumption, and does not mean the same as "are currently as a class". And that stat about median full-time salaries being higher only applies to SINGLE women between 25-35, much like I said above. You'll note that isn't even remotely the largest demographic of women. Plus, your first link is limited to 10 majors (where the earning differences are very small), which means that virtually ALL OTHER majors still have men outearning women.

No they don't. They show that among college graduates in 4 urban areas (NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, LA) women age 25-35 outearn their male counterparts by 8%. That in no way is "women as a group making more than men".

So why precisely is it different ethically if a person is scammed into sex by somebody who is promising a relationship but who really just wants to pump and dump? Because unlike being scammed out of money, sex isn't something you have a limited quantity of (libido jokes aside), nor does it have a federally-regulated value based on a gold standard. If I scam you out of money, you have lost something of real-world value that you may never get back and may never recoup the loss of. If I scam you in…

you can make them act and behave by controlling and influencing their emotions. No you can't. You can influence them, but you cannot MAKE them do anything.

That's a different story, but with the same choice involved. I'm still making a choice of my own free will, it would just have been based on bad information.

Point 1 removes it. No it doesn't. Women are making a decision for themselves. No one is "making" them or forcing them to do anything. Giving in to temptation isn't the same as being forced. For example: I like cookies. I also like being skinny. No one is making me eat cookies, even though I know I shouldn't. If I choose to give in to that temptation, that is me exercising my own agency. And whether or not they are selling themselves short, they are still making a conscious decision of their own…

making family planning decisions are protected under the 14th Amendment and are considered "rights" Um, no. The 14 Amendment says that the Right to Privacy extends to a person's bodily autonomy (including the decision to have an abortion). It says that a person's medical decisions about their own body are none of the government's business. Abortion itself (or planning a family) is not a constitutionally granted right at all.

At least from my experience, they stand out among all other women. Have you noticed anything of the similar?

You know why they call it silicon right ? Just being pedantic, but it's from the Latin for "flint", as it is usually found in dust and sand broken down from other rocks. As for being called "silicon valley", it is because of the high concentration of semiconductor manufacturers in the area - of which silicon is a key component - and has nothing to do with software engineering.

You mods need to get together and have a chat. Personal attacks I get, but saying "no snark" is highly disingenuous when I have messages from mods specifically rebutting reported comments with lines like "Not a personal attack, just very snarky". If there isn't going to be a reasonable standard, or if mods aren't going to enforce a standard evenly across the board, there is no point in having rules or mods in the first place.

I'm sure there is, but I'm not the one who made any such claim. Turn on the TV, you can easily see unjustified police homocides on the nightly news. But that doesn't mean the cops will ever outright admit it was unjustified. Again, a cop shot a 15 year old passenger in a car and tried to say he was threatening somehow, even though he wasn't the driver. Cops are notorious for lying to protect their own, so I doubt you could ever find a published study wherein multiple police forces released all t…

So you're saying "Beta" men can be fierce, until someone puts them in their place or makes them fearful? Cops are a huge detriment to showing masculinity nowadays.

is being missing the foreskin a quality of life issue? Yes. When the foreskin is removed, it causes the glans to rub directly against clothing, which over time causes keratinization of the skin and reduces sensitivity, in addition to the 20,000 nerve ending that were already removed. This is why most circumcised men have to "jackhammer" during sex in order to orgasm. Because they are desensitized to most other stimulation.

an average man still had a chance to rise above his station through self determination I don't believe this is true for the vast majority. An average man was still subject to whatever authority ruled his life, be it church, government, class/caste restriction, military conscription, etc. The average man was definitely NOT schooled. Only the wealthy elite were. The average man was expected to labor, toil, and ultimately die for his ruler.

Then your argument for excluding demisexuality is kind of a moot point.

It's incredibly convenient when your theories exclude demisexuals, for example. I can't find any reference to the term "demisexual" before 2008, so the condescension for not including something that hasn't even been formally defined for 10 years yet isn't really necessary or applicable.

You didn't actually answer either of the questions at all. Haven't studies shown more men are obese than women? So why is fat shaming a female issue if statistically more men are shamed for it than women? Well trans women are also women Yeah, and trans men are also men.

While he worded the sentiment poorly, I believe he probably meant something closer to "the whole idea of verbally asking for and further verbally confirming consent throughout the process is stupid". It's a slippery slope, since consent can be revoked at any time during or even after the fact.

They can definitely drink at 18 in all but 5 states given certain restrictions. You can buy and smoke cigarettes, cigars, etc at 18 in every US state. Trust funds are a different beast entirely.

But they still have the potential to cause the entire gamut of typical anti-depressant side effects, even if one isn't taking them for depression.

What's an insult? Accusing someone of having autism because they interpreted your words differently than you meant them. And then doing it again as a defense of your original insult is just doubling down. You're reading insult into an observation. No, I'm reading insult into an insult. And you just keep reinforcing it.

Yes, absolutely. That said, it will reinforce the notion that he has nothing social to do with his off time and may end up increasing his workload commensurately. This can be offset or negated by having pictures of him participating in sports or outdoor activities in his office (golf especially, but also rock climbing, etc). Perception is everything at certain levels.

I think you are misusing or misconstruing the term collectivism. It generally means placing the good of the group over the good of the individual.

If it's not pointed out and acknowledged it ends up being even more controlling and less able to be accounted for. I disagree. For example, if I am perfectly happy living my life and someone points out that I have "resting bastard face", suddenly I am intently aware of a flaw with myself that I wasn't before. This causes my happiness to decline, and now I have to constantly be aware of how my facial expression looks at all times. In most cases, ignorance truly is bliss.
/r/PurplePillDebate30/03/17 08:31 PM

Well, the easiest way to get rid of that mentality is to not acknowledge it and simply rise above as an individual. It may be purely subconscious for many, but once it's pointed out, most can't think about it any other way. Collectivism is a pain in everyone's ass.

I said it in this thread, yes. You've said it before, though. Now you're just being intentionally obtuse and refusing to directly engage. But if you genuinely want me to take the time to search through months of your post history just to point out you being repeatedly hypocritical, I'm sure that can be arranged. Here's the first from earlier in this exact comment chain. Here's an entire thread YOU started wherein you make generalizations and proceed to disagree with generalizations in the commen…

I get that. I'm just trying to point out that additionally, none of that other shit even matters in most of our personal lives. Nothing anyone says on reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc effects my real life in any way. And it can only effects yours (not you specifically, just the general term) if you let it. For example, my fiancee is kind of addicted to social media and reality TV. She decided to give them both up for Lent, and she has been so much more productive and happy lately that she told me …

If your debate position is that TRP is wrong, and that their broad generalizations are incorrect, why would you use the same tactic? Seems highly hypocritical. But then again, I guess you never claimed to not be a hypocrite.

I could feel anger or hatred because it's wrong, toxic, and they genuinely believe that and aren't joking. Sure. But then you could also just close the browser and realize that keyboard warriors don't actually change your day-to-day life with their ranting and empty platitudes, stuck in their echo chamber. Whether feminist forums or TRP, the result is the same if you don't allow some anonymous person's opinion to effect you in any way.

How old are you? 46. You'd be hard pressed to find many women of the current generation who don't identify as feminists, tbh. Really, because actual data disagrees. No. I mean -- did you specifically ask party girls at night clubs about their feminism? Not while at the club, that would be fruitless (and nigh impossible due to music volume).

It screams campus feminist to me. I mean, I'll happily take your word for it, but that's definitely not what it screams to me. This was how the feminists on my campus dressed at parties It's how the "easy party girls" dressed at raves while rolling when I was in college.

I understand what you are saying, but I think you have made at least two mistakes here: first, Maude's data isn't necessarily from that study; you are simply assuming it is. Her data is from divorce attorneys' court filings and correlative demographic data. Second, taking timing into account still doesn't matter when you are talking about total BEFORE FIRST MARRIAGE.

Wow, your data is backing up RP pretty well.

Women who lost their virginity as a teenager are more than twice as likely to get divorce in the first 5 years of marriage than women who waited until age 18 or older. When compared to women who began sexual activity in their early 20s, …

I can't accept this because except for the feminist part in their name they are different movements with different ideologies and goals And yet if you asked them both if they were feminists, they would both say yes.

Even 112 per 100,000 (the low range) puts prostitution in 2nd or 3rd place for workplace mortality. Look, I'm not saying it isn't unreasonably high. I'm not saying it isn't dangerous. I'm only saying that you can't claim that is it LITERALLY the most dangerous job in the country if it flat out isn't. Plus that whole not paying income tax makes it not really a legal "job", per se, but I'm not going into that as it then opens the door for whether or not a drug dealer or arms trafficker is a more d…

Oops, found the discrepancy. Turns out I can't read a chart right. It was 901 injuries, not deaths, per 100,000. Either way, we still need some data for your Canadian claim over logging. And is it 112 or 225? Because that's like saying "It's either 2 or 4, but they mean the same thing and one isn't totally double the other".
/r/PurplePillDebate13/03/17 09:10 PM

That's just disingenuous phrasing by the study conductors then, because police officers in the US have a homicide rate of 901 per 100,000 - 4.5x higher than prostitutes. But that study itself even shows that drugs and alcohol kill more prostitutes than violence. 27% vs 19%. That said, you still haven't back up your claim about prostitution being the deadliest job in Canada. Just typing it isn't really a credible source.

In Canada n the U.S., prostitution (a 80+% female job) is the deadliest job. Gonna need a source on that one.

In fact, the only reference I can find to prostitution being a deadly job in Canada is an opinion piece from 2007 in the Winnipeg Free Press.

I think more women should be plumbers and construction workers just as I think more men should be nurses and teaching assistants.

Because it tastes good! Because we are evolutionary omnivores. Because our bodies often require more fats and proteins that a plant-based diet would allow from foods in our environment (ie: things we could obtain without a grocery store). People who don't smoke still get lung cancer. Which just goes to show that not eating meat won't actually prevent cancer. So you may as well.

You will age but you won't get crippling Alzheimer's and pains. I don't think you can definitively make this assertion. You can say that the odds are less likely, but that's about it.

the first time I had sex was the worst time That's unfortunate. The first time I had sex, I didn't know the difference between good and bad sex (admittedly I was 15). And it definitely wasn't the worst. I didn't experience "the worst" until my mid-20s when I'd had enough experience to know better.
