1	This sub treats men and women like hive minds I’d add a corollary: people in this sub like to say “I’m a man, so let me tell you how women think” or “I’m a woman so let me tell you how men think” as if they have some ability to speak for the other group. They create self-fulfilling prophesy by ascribing intent and thought to what they observe without actually seeking understanding.	/r/PurplePillDebate	31/01/25 02:23 PM
1	Dont expect women to fix men’s issues when they dont like women’s solutions. I never said men shouldn’t be helped until women get to equity, they are different realms. Men don’t need help to become CEOs or Congresspeople. So no, we don’t need a men’s group there. Men do need a group to talk about mental health and suicide (in fact there are men’s only groups for this and I support them) because this is where men are disadvantaged. It’s not a universal thing. It’s where help is needed. Men simply aren’t disadvantaged in terms of winning business or getting big roles. That…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/01/25 03:29 PM
1	Dont expect women to fix men’s issues when they dont like women’s solutions. Honestly, if your angle is “there are pockets and areas where men are disproportionately affected by adverse affects and I think there should be programs that specifically target men in those areas” I fully support it. In particular the latter part of your message makes a ton of sense: where are the men’s groups to directly impact disproportionate homelessness, suicide, and violent crime? The statistics support this disproportionality and so I definitely support programs and actions that are gen…	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/01/25 01:11 PM
1	Dont expect women to fix men’s issues when they dont like women’s solutions. If you’re talking about private grants and scholarships, that’s the private donor/funds prerogative. For federal, I think they are valid until there is equity in proportionality. When somewhere in the vast neighborhood of 50% of ceos and the like are women, we can go back to both sides do their thing (currently at 10.4% of Fortune 500). When they are proportionally the same in congress we can quit the programs (currently around 29%). If the right looked more like the left is say we could abandon…	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/01/25 02:33 AM
1	Dont expect women to fix men’s issues when they dont like women’s solutions. I don’t understand your response. And I’m not saying that flippantly or argumentatively. I’d like to understand your point fully. I think you’re asking if I’m okay with the bootstrap argument for men but think women deserve a leg up. If that’s the case, I don’t think women necessarily need a leg up. They need to be in the consideration set. Robert Cialdini, among others, researched and found people tend to like people that are like them (an almost well duh statement) but one of the consequences …	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/01/25 01:54 AM
1	Dont expect women to fix men’s issues when they dont like women’s solutions. Until and unless the us congress, boards of directors, and executive suites of the US even remotely resemble the makeup of the population, it seems very worthy to provide that help. I’m so sick of men finally being in a position of not always getting their way and them acting like babies about it. Like, earn it the hard way, it’s what women have been doing for centuries. Literally, they haven’t been able to get a checking account or a mortgage on their own for more than 50 years. And I’m a dude.…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/01/25 10:30 PM
1	Dont expect women to fix men’s issues when they dont like women’s solutions. What is this “get jobs out of DEI” thing? Like, honestly, most DEI just say you have to have a diverse pool, select the best out of the pool, but at least interview a few people that are different. Most DEI look at the data and say “performance of teams that are diverse seems to be better than teams that aren’t” The rhetoric seems to be that DEI means you hire a non-qualified applicant due to gender or racial background or veterans status or disability status, but I’ve never, not once, seen some…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/01/25 12:46 PM
1	The Reason Getting Dates is So Much Harder For Men Is Women Won’t Look Past Any Flaws I said less important vs not important. I view 25 as the point at which most of the general collective living dating pool has moved on (high school, undergraduate) and dating is more organic and spread out. At this point, the pools are not as concentrated and women, in my experience, are less primarily concerned about looks vs looks and other factors, where looks continue to decline over time. Pool concentration makes a huge difference. Age and experience as well.	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/01/25 06:18 PM
1	The Reason Getting Dates is So Much Harder For Men Is Women Won’t Look Past Any Flaws That’s a fairly blanket statement that I don’t think is true after 25. Hot is less important as time goes by and I know a whole bunch of unattractive folks with oversized personalities who wipe the floor with hot guys. An unattractive guy who doesn’t provide something else that makes the idea of dating fun surely will fail to the attractive guy (because attractiveness is easy to show off to friends) but your high school d-lineman with a personality gets a lot of ass compared to hot dumb jock guy…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/01/25 05:53 PM
1	The Reason Getting Dates is So Much Harder For Men Is Women Won’t Look Past Any Flaws I don’t see the gaslight about preferences. This binary you’re either hot or you’re kind is false. The scenario that an unattractive (but kind) guy watches the girl of his dreams fuck attractive (but dumb) guys fails to consider the people that are kind and hot or unattractive and bitter. And other commenters have already mentioned that a) those unattractive folks end up dating/with someone and b) those someone’s are often women who learn the hard way that a small set of criteria (attractiveness…	/r/PurplePillDebate	23/01/25 05:19 PM
1	Women care more about feelings than facts. Academic Freedom is not equal to Freedom of Speech. Academic freedom, as it pertains to censorship is a capitalist idea, not a ideological one. When a professor (male or female) is pushing research or teaching students from a perspective that could potentially harm the brand of the university, said professor is censored. This is not ideological, it's rational and businesslike. That so many educated folks vote along the lines of liberalism is not causing the censorship, it's enhancing and acceler…	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/01/25 07:17 PM
1	How true is the myth that conservative women cheat less than their liberal counterparts ? I’m not sure if you’re asking about women specifically or about people in general, but there have been several studies that seem to indicate republicans cheat more than democrats. One study on the Ashley Madison cheat list showed a significant difference between republicans and democrats (analysis by the Guardian). I’m not sure if it is gendered, though it could be, but I’d imagine there might be a relationship in gender on this.	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/01/25 09:52 PM
1	I understand the value of protecting no-fault divorce and believe it should always be available. I don’t understand why some states only allow no-fault separation, ie fault divorce isn’t possible. Both should always be available. My guess: if no fault divorce is possible it makes it so you don’t pursue a fault divorce and get yourself stuck in marriage. I’m guessing (and as I’m not a lawyer I’m sure I may be missing stuff) but my understanding is a more complicated divorce would require more evidence, and if that evidence is lacking the case could be denied. So for example, a for-fault divorce might be “because he was unfaithful”, and if the evidence is insufficient, the judge would have to deny the divorce even though y…	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/01/25 03:04 AM
1	It’s not unreasonable to ask your partner to stop watching porn There is an old adage (gendered though it may be) that says men date women hoping they will never change and women date men hoping they will change for the better. Though I am not a fan of gender stereotypes, I think both sides exist and compatibility rests in understanding which you are and which your partner is. Change, in life, is inevitable, and circumstances are ever more complex. What we need to determine is if you are in a partnership that prioritizes and respects mutual growth/adjustment…	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/01/25 06:21 PM
–	Young men are turning to right wing and manosphere ideologies due to being shut down and treated terrible in mainstream/progressive spaces, not from being brainwashed by "Redpill gurus" or "right-wing media". Fundamentally, the gathering of young men with grievances together to discuss them is a natural occurrence. Throughout history groups with common feelings have gathered together to work on it. There are two problems with this specific one, however. First, the formation of the group as you’ve said is based on a double standard of being vilified while “dumping in” (that is, expressing feelings related to women and women’s spaces to women and in women’s spaces). Any woman will (and should) call in …	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/12/24 03:42 PM
