1	Women are more suitable as corporate slaves. My observations are backed by the statistics on young male unemployment. So your contention is that the unemployment rate isn’t showing a decreased workforce participation rate? If a man can afford to not be in the workforce, and chooses that life, why is that a problem for society? Is it a problem in a way different from a woman not working? Or is this not voluntary? Are these men making a living in the criminal underclass and facing incarceration? Or is the problem that they can’t afford it, b…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/05/24 03:29 AM
2	Dating as an autistic man I figured you were, but wanted to spare any poor bastard who comes in here and didn't get the sarcasm.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 11:11 PM
1	Dating as an autistic man Autistic man who's survived three different relationships (romantic, platonic, and familial) with BPD women chiming in here- no it's not. BPD isn't compatible with anyone, but especially super duper not with autistic men.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 11:09 PM
1	Dating as an autistic man Answering as a different autistic man, I met my first girlfriend, who was also (high functioning) autistic, in a mental asylum. She was there for attempting suicide. I was there because a group of cops beat the shit out of me after being (incorrectly) told that I was being violent, and then threw me in said mental hospital. We didn't date until a few years later, as our relationship blossomed while we were being segregated away from our peers in the special education classrooms. It was a beautif…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 11:07 PM
1	Nothing makes many western women more angry than women in other countries, especially non-western countries, having happy relationships with men that those western women think they shouldn't be dating. As a man married to an eastern European woman, I get a lot of gross fetishizing comments about my relationship from American men, including older guys outright asking me if she's a mail order bride. Vile shit. I don't get that from women. However, I have definitely heard white women make venomous remarks about white men who are dating Asian women, assuming they have a fetish or are taking advantage of the women. So it's very possible that women I know are actually saying horrible things about my…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 10:59 PM
1	"Autistic women are less likely to be single because they're better at masking" No, it's because gender roles expect men to be far more socially adept in dating The reason they don't is a thing called "elite capture". Essentially, a lot of social justice activism was begun by radical left-wingers in the 1960s and 70s (and even 80s), but then by the 2000s had become taken over by academics and nonprofits, who stripped class out of it. The original identity politics of that era were situated in class discussions and were usually aimed at building greater working class unity through addressing divisions in the class. See, for example, how the Sojourner Tru…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 10:46 PM
1	"Autistic women are less likely to be single because they're better at masking" No, it's because gender roles expect men to be far more socially adept in dating In social justice circles, disability is always sat at the back of the bus. Everyone puts up a big talk about accommodating disabled people, but in practice, combating ableism usually just means policing the language used to talk about it. Nobody actually gives a shit about autistic adults, career-wise, romantically, or in just about any other regard.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 10:42 PM
2	Despite progressivity, has the treatment towards Autistic men by women worsened in recent years? Well, this isn't a thing you can witness directly, but I'm an autistic man who has had five girlfriends over the course of my life, and is married. Mostly, I just hung out with people, some of them women, and some of those women found me exceedingly clever and good looking or something. I never started a relationship with a woman I didn't casually know as a friend first.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 10:30 PM
1	Despite progressivity, has the treatment towards Autistic men by women worsened in recent years? My experience has been that when I was young, I would disclose my being autistic and nobody would know what it is, which allowed me the space to explain it. Now, when I disclose my autism, there are immediately several people who jump on the opportunity to also disclose their own autism. I was diagnosed as a child and put through years of carceral, non-consensual, abusive "therapy"- forced medication, violent application of aversives, constant surveillance, emotional and psychological abuse, tha…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 10:24 PM
1	Women are more suitable as corporate slaves. Prime age men aren't working? Almost every man between 20-50 I know is employed. Maybe I'm biased because I'm employed and mostly know other construction workers, but the statistics bear this out, too. The unemploment rate is low, job sites are bustling, trains and barges and trucks are running back and forth, even manufacturing is at its highest levels in the US since the Bush years. What prime age men are you talking about?	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 09:54 PM
1	Women are more suitable as corporate slaves. Seriously. I have over thirty folk instruments in the room I'm currently sitting in, and I don't have sex with any of them. Nor do I use them to convince women to have sex with me- they play folk music. Outside of the hive of swinging debauchery that it is every Renaissance Festival after hours, folk music and sex inhabit two separate worlds.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/05/24 09:49 PM
5	Why do lefists treat dating market so differently from other markets? We had an organized group of men in my hometown who collectively withdrew themselves from the dating pool. It was called the Order of Saint Benedict.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	24/04/24 04:51 PM
1	I Hate The Term "Male Dominated" Women working retail isn't unexpected.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 02:45 PM
1	I Hate The Term "Male Dominated" As someone who works those jobs, that is true. Sadly. But it's also true that few women enter the workforce for these industries in the first place. Our union sisters fight like hell at work against sexual harassment.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 02:43 PM
1	I Hate The Term "Male Dominated" To be fair, women in the Trades are absolutely fighting for their right to be here. But so many middle class women overlook them, or use them as fodder for "women are strong! women can do anything!" content without actually reaching out to help the Sisters in the Trades. It's up to us construction workers to be in solidarity with our trades sisters; we can't wait for academics and activists to get around to it.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 02:42 PM
1	I Hate The Term "Male Dominated" When I was barge deckhand, working 12 hour shifts with no overtime pay, shit wages, no benefits, no union, and extremely dangerous conditions, it was an incredibly male dominated industry. I'm not sure what we were dominating, exactly. It felt a lot more like we were being dominated by poverty and our monopoly capitalist boss. That said, it would absolutely have been a hostile environment for women. Hell, it was a hostile environment for men, including harassment and the threat of sexual violenc…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 02:40 PM
20	Queer spaces are filled with man-hate, bi women most affected I'm reminded of a thing I saw earlier this morning being shared around, a quote from a second wave feminist who was herself a lesbian (Marilyn Frye), talking about how men withhold real love from women and direct it towards other men. The claim being made was that male friendship is homoerotic, and that even straight men's emotional lives are deeply homoerotic. Now, obviously, there's a problem here, conflating friendship and even platonic love between men with eroticism. Apparently, men can't j…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/03/24 02:31 PM
1	Do you think men compete too much over women to be able to cooperate together? Men cooperate with each other all the time; cooperation is the foundation of most types of labor. You might want to stop hanging around with men who are ripping on you for not having sex, though.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/11/23 09:11 PM
