| 1 | For the women who say "a person's past shouldn't matter with regards to who they had sex with", would you be fine dating/marrying a man who slept with dozens of prostitutes before he met you, provided he got tested and was fully clean?

Why or why not?I won’t disagree that psych isn’t a rigorous science, but we have to start somewhere other than “nah, I disagree”. Just don't fly the generalizations in the first place. Make claims which are justifiable with the research that is there. A meta study like that one with multiple, overlapping conclusions, all negative, starts to look like some compelling evidence. Or it starts to look like one researcher's inkblot test. Often that data isn't homogeneous enough to group effectively, and more often t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/02/22 12:14 AM |

| 1 | Does RP have it right when it says modern marriage is in shambles?Additionally, is the (extremely low) risk of plane crash worth the benefit of being able to travel across the planet? Beyond the extremely low risk of crashing, there is the ever-worsening treatment that has become the norm for air travel. I have never had a fear of crashing, but these days I avoid air travel whenever possible. Likewise with marriage, I don't worry about bachelorette party fiascos, but I am definitely not convinced that marriage is as worth it as it once was. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/16 05:47 AM |
| 15 | A simple test for her = epic failI used to give 90 minute lectures 4x a week, and I don't know exactly what is meant by "lead the conversation". This sounds like a very awkward request to make just because it is so far from the norm of what happens in a two-way conversation. Besides, even Frederick Douglass couldn't 'lead' a conversation with someone who didn't want to cooperate. I don't mean to go pissing in anyone's cheerios, but I don't see this as a meaningful test/measurement of anything at all. | /r/TheRedPill | 20/09/16 08:07 PM |

The point being that the man has a choice in whether his semen makes its way into a vagina. The fact that he can't kill the baby after it is conceived doesn't mean that he isn't responsible for helping to conceive it. He doesn't have agency as to whether a birth occurs or not.

Why do you keep conflating assault with normal sexual encounters? It isn't an assault until non-consent is ignored. That is why 50% of people freeze That doesn't mean they have any trouble expressing non-consent. By the time someone is literally has their body stiff in horror, they have already communicated non-consent clearly. I don't know why that is so hard for you to grasp.

Any adult should be able to make themselves understood unless they have a severe psychological issue. This is why affirmative consent policies in schools are so ridiculous.

They are not confused. Right, which is why situations involving claims of ambiguous consent aren't rape under the law (when both parties are competent adults of sound mental health). If the consent is truly ambiguous, then it would be understandable for a reasonable person to interpret it as consent. The whole 'you must communicate your lack of consent clearly' thing is bullshit.

Right. Life-threatening fear. Not a normal sexual interaction between adults. It does not indicate PTSD or severe anxiety. If you are having them in response to normal, non-life-threatening circumstances, that is absolutely indication of either, both or something similar.

If someone has reason to believe that they might not be able to clearly express their consent or non-consent, it is their responsibility to discuss that with a potential sex partner before making any contact that would require consent.

That is very irresponsible and dangerous for the both of you. freezing isn't a mental illness. What you are describing is essentially PTSD.

| 2 | If women naturally are subservient and submissive, why do TRPers talk about punishing ambition in their daughters?OK It's not cherry picked. I've seen this sentiment all over TRP. The reason it is cherry-picked is that you are probably only noticing examples that confirm the beliefs you already want to hold. At the same time, you are probably ignoring all of the examples that are contrary to the beliefs you want to hold. People troll and false-flag all over the place. Unless you have some evidence that what you are describing is pervasive, it is more appropriate to say "I saw someone on TRP who said xyz..".… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 22/04/16 03:50 PM |

If it makes you feel bad, you might reconsider having sex before getting a better sense of who a person is.

My understanding is that if a non-expert signs a prenup without a lawyer and doesn't make any changes to the agreement, it is basically worthless. If you make changes and both sign the changes, you have a much better shot. For example if one amount of money is in the agreement, then is crossed out and a bigger amount is written in (with both signing the change), it can hold up.

It was a very physical job and that was very clear in the job listing. For the first 4 weeks she did fine, save for showing up late a couple of times. Then in week 5, she informed us that she was 5 months pregnant and acknowledged that she was aware of her pregnancy when she applied. Soon she started sitting down for large portions of her shift.

But that is not the case at all. As I'm sure you know, that number has nothing to do with the same work. How many times have you heard that number dropped as if it was?
