| 3 | A feminist on the topic of "How patriarchy also hurts men" Remember that this is what they mean when they say it.What I basically got from that is that boys get lower grades I do not think you are at all taking a serious approach to this debate. What I explained amounted to substantially more than this. Since you cannot be taken seriously here, meaning that any further back-and-forth with you would just be an unproductive waste of time, I think I will have to politely withdraw from this discussion. Take care. | /r/AntiFeminists | 23/09/22 08:37 PM |
| 3 | A feminist on the topic of "How patriarchy also hurts men" Remember that this is what they mean when they say it.There needs to be a new big movement. There always has been, at least since even before first-wave feminism: The Marxist movement. In the early part of the 20th century, this culminated in the 1917 October Revolution, which was the first time in history that workers deposed the ruling class and took power in their own hands. While the workers' state established by the revolution unfortunately degenerated into Stalinism, the Left Opposition led and Fourth International established by Leon Trotsky… | /r/AntiFeminists | 23/09/22 08:34 PM |

| -2 | What would equity in dating look like?The point is to return to what Engels termed in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State as primitive communism's "state of promiscuous intercourse," in which there was an "absence of any restriction imposed by custom on sexual intercourse" and "unrestricted sexual freedom prevailed [even between siblings, as well as parents and their offspring] . . . every woman belonging equally to every man and every man to every woman."

| 1 | "Men aren't entitled to getting laid!" is a lazy, intellectually dishonest red herring intended to derail discussion. The root of the difficulties young men face in dating is finding fulfilling romantic companionship, not getting laid.First, I should note that your hostile approach here, indicated by your shouting and excessive italics, shows that you are not here for serious, civil, good-faith debate, meaning that it is unlikely that anything productive can come from discussing with you. It has been my experience that people who adopt this approach—which, incidentally, is somewhat of a linchpin of right-wing rhetoric—do so because their beliefs cannot be properly supported due to being, in a word, bullshit.

This is the traditionalist, right-wing take characteristic of mainstream incel culture and, like right-wing politics in general, is nonsense.

In primitive communism, items were generally produced for direct consumption rather than exchange or trade. don't you think women in that primitive time would have a bigger fear than the prochoice women crying about a post roe v Wade world?

As I report below: The first human societies, which thrived for 100,000 years before class first emerged some 10,000 years ago, were what cultural anthropologists refer to as "acephalous," which is Greek for "without a head."

| 2 | "Culturally Framed As"Women are the ones that are stuck with a child after pregnancy Not only did this not apply during primitive communism, when children were raised communally instead of just by their biological parents, but even today, sex does not necessarily result in childbirth or even pregnancy. In other words, even if your claim were true, it would nevertheless be a red herring. | /r/AntiFeminists | 15/08/22 01:01 AM |
| 1 | "Culturally Framed As"Marriage existed solely for the sake of women. This impressionistic take flies in the face of the available evidence. In actuality, monogamy developed alongside the incipient accumulation of private wealth and formation of classes.

| 7 | "Culturally Framed As"As someone who opposes marriage and institutionalized monogamy more generally, I don't see how, in its current iteration, it especially harms women. This may have been true prior to about a half-century ago, when the patriarchal nuclear family was still all but universally instituted in Western societies, but that is obviously no longer the case. That feminists continue to promote these antiquated ideas reveals just how reactionary their movement truly is. | /r/AntiFeminists | 14/08/22 09:50 PM |

Personally, I vehemently oppose gender ideology, its gendered nomenclature practice (i.e., the usage of terms like "man"/"woman" and pronouns including "he"/"she" in reference to gender identity rather than biological sex), and its promotion of biomedical approaches to the treatment of gender dysphoria (e.g., hormone replacement "therapy," sexual "reassignment" surgery).

As I summarize below: While there are certainly plenty of studies that have linked particular psychological traits with certain genes, virtually none have been replicated; further, they've all either produced statistically non-significant findings, or else miniscule effect sizes. This failure of researchers to reliably link such traits to genes is called the missing heritability problem. To be sure, there is no reliable scie… | /r/AntiFeminists | 06/08/22 06:27 PM |

I elaborate on this issue below: To be sure, it is absolutely critical to recognize that the USSR following Lenin's death in 1924 was based on Stalinism, which, as I explain here: is a revisionist distortion of Marxism characterized by its nationalist "socialism in one country" and class collaborationist "two-stage" theories, which directly oppose the latter's international… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/02/22 08:10 PM |

| 3 | Wikipedia's perception of different movements within feminism/men's rightsThere are certain necessary and sufficient features of feminism. Again, most broadly, feminism seeks to advocate for women's interests, however defined. You would be hard-pressed to find a self-identified feminist who disagrees with this.

| 2 | Wikipedia's perception of different movements within feminism/men's rightsI have been repeatedly stating that it makes sense to compare feminism to white supremacy as opposed to the kkk in particular. My position, which I thought was expressed clearly enough, is that both make sense; I don't maintain that either makes "more sense" than the other, in some absolute sense.

This is why I asked you to quote the relevant sections. It's well-known to researchers that people interact with babies differently depending on their gender.

In sum, in the absence of different postnatal environments, across two tasks, females appeared more social than males. " This is a study on macaque, not human, newborns.

| 1 | Can't admit I'm right? Just ban meThat's seems rather foolish as infants become adults, so it's highly unlikely that their psychology would be completely discarded Infants, unlike adults, lack the capacity to acquire culture; their psychology is instinctual. Once they acquire culture, their behavior is organized around their culture's macro factors (institutions, concepts, artifacts).

I'm a psychology major, and I'm almost certain you've either misunderstood something or learned this from an unofficial source. At any rate, like animal psychology, infant psychology is biologically determined. It is different from adult psychology, which is not biologically determined but rather cultural. It is no sillier to compare infants to adults than to make comparisons between adults and, say, bees. Edit: Also, the idea that … | /r/AntiFeminists | 26/08/18 04:06 AM |

| 1 | I think I found what women want.There is no "instinct" to reproduce. The urge to reproduce only became possible about 10,000 years ago, when humans first discovered the connection between intercourse and procreation. Some tribes today don't acknowledge the connection, and their members do not possess this urge. (Keep in mind that the urge to procreate and the urge to experience the carnal pleasures of sex are distinct.) The continued survival of the species is not valuable to individuals. I'm not sure why you think it is. | /r/MGTOW | 01/03/17 02:44 AM |

| 1 | xoJane feminist: "I'm Fat but I Only Have Sex with Skinny Guys"Rule 2 doesn't allow feminists. Oh, well I think that rule refers to ideological, not egalitarian feminists. Lots of MGTOWs are egalitarians. Anyways, can you make a post in /r/Anarchism in which you mention that you're a MGTOW? Funnily enough, I was banned from that sub shortly after someone mentioned my "misogynistic" post history in this sub, haha. | /r/MGTOW | 28/02/17 09:55 AM |
| 1 | xoJane feminist: "I'm Fat but I Only Have Sex with Skinny Guys"We allow no: SJW/LGBT Proselytizing I'm not proselytizing about SJW-related stuff. Anyway, I think it's clear this rule is meant to specifically prohibit anti-male SJW/LGBT proselytizing, which I'm definitely not doing. | /r/MGTOW | 28/02/17 09:48 AM |
| 0 | xoJane feminist: "I'm Fat but I Only Have Sex with Skinny Guys"As I said in another thread, I am a SJW (in the sense that I'm staunchly egalitarian) and find it funny how so many MGTOWs bitch about SJWs while indignantly complaining about the injustices done to men by the gynocracy. These clowns are hypocrites. Some academics distinguish between egalitarian and ideological feminism; obviously, I advocate the former. Hopefully, you can intuit the distinction between the two without me having to spell it out. | /r/MGTOW | 28/02/17 09:36 AM |
