5	Why Men can financially support/accept their partner but women only want men who are financially stronger than them? The person who does more housework is usually the person who works fewer hours, and it happens to be that's usually women. Nope. Even when women earn more, they still spend more time doing household labour and child care (1, 2. The more a husband relies on his wife for financial support, the less housework he does (3). There is also evidence that stay at home fathers do less household labour than their wives (4).	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/12/19 03:12 PM
2	Q4W: Do you want to be "the pretty one" in the relationship? I relate to this. For a lot of women, including myself, perceived vanity is unattractive. Personally, I find all the usual negative connotations of vanity to be amplified when seen in a man; a woman's worth is so tightly bound to her appearance that I instinctively view female vanity with less distaste. There's also the matter of insecurity. As a woman who doesn't invest much time in her appearance, I often find men who care a great deal about how they look to be intimidating. There's this impli…	/r/PurplePillDebate	05/02/19 02:22 AM
4	How much does the statistical absence of highly intelligent women in society shape the social and political views of women and society at large? This is much better explained by the historic oppression of women, not gendered differences in IQ distribution. Extremely high IQ is not a predictor of success.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/02/19 04:22 AM
7	How much does the statistical absence of highly intelligent women in society shape the social and political views of women and society at large? paucity of female intelligence I suspect you're overestimating the difference in male and female intelligence variability. I've wondered about this, too, but ultimately I don't think the differences are significant enough to have a substantial cultural impact. I think other factors, such as historic female oppression, gendered socialization, and innate differences in cognition (unrelated to intelligence) much better explain current cultural beliefs regarding gender/gendered subcultures.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/02/19 04:10 AM
2	Are sex differences in preferences for physical attractiveness and good earning capacity in potential mates smaller in countries with greater gender equality? This study finds they are not. When studies such as these refer to "gender equality" it's important to take into consideration the means by which it is quantified. This study used the GII (Gender Inequality Index) and the GDI (Gender Development Index). The GII takes into account the maternal mortality ratio, adolescent birth rate, representation in parliament, secondary education, and labour force participation rates. The GDI takes into account life expectancy at birth, adult literacy rate, enrollment in education, and estim…	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/12/18 03:55 AM
-1	Are sex differences in preferences for physical attractiveness and good earning capacity in potential mates smaller in countries with greater gender equality? This study finds they are not. If you think feminist critique of porn "pathologizes the male libido" you obviously haven't done much reading on the subject. Much of our criticism stems from the abuse and exploitation of women in the industry, and our concern regarding the negative effects of viewing porn is well-supported by clinical research: "The results are clear and consistent; exposure to pornographic material puts one at increased risk for developing sexually deviant tendencies, committing sexual offenses, experiencing …	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/12/18 03:39 AM
4	CMV: Women lie about the reason they don't like "nice guys". This analogy (and others like it) makes no sense. It's in the deer's best interests to NOT be shot and killed, and it's going to do everything it can to prevent that from happening. So of course the deer isn't going to open up to you about their feelings if you ask how to hunt it. Any insight into its personal experience would be useful to you. If the deer poured its heart out, you'd walk away from the encounter with greater knowledge of their habits and a better idea as how to draw less attenti…	/r/PurplePillDebate	30/10/18 10:50 PM
40	Where do foreveralone men come from? Completely agree. That being said, I think it's easy to underestimate the number of "forever alone" women. Because the female sex drive is generally lower, women are less likely to feel as strongly as men when they "can't get sex" - and as such, are less likely to verbalize their frustrations. Similarly, women tend to have stronger social support groups, and as a result, are less inclined to feel significant distress over being single (especially older women) and are less likely to express these…	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/09/18 07:08 PM
