5	Emotional stonewalling: the core burden of masculinity The particulars of the mythic idea of "her Rock" (which, BTW, has its own strange gendered application towards women, with regards to the ideal of her "keeping the home fires burning") are weird in that it is not so much quiet stoicism that's rewarded, but the non-expression of emotional turmoil. I've seen guys who, like you, are extroverted, outgoing, and caring, and yet by keeping their inner state and complaints to themselves, fulfill the role of her Rock just the same.	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/11/13 04:46 AM
2	Emotional stonewalling: the core burden of masculinity This is an interesting exchange. Being able to keep one's emotional reactions in check certainly has value, but why must we allocate right to emotional expression according to gender, rather than simply on who is comfortable in each category regardless of gender? Or better yet, why not have men and women both reach a place where stonewalling and expression are balanced in accordance with their appropriateness given the situation? A man can dream...and a woman can say it!	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/11/13 04:23 AM
2	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective The legally defined line in NY is only what you say it is if and only if the person got there by some other person secretly meddling with there drink.

2	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective Hmm, I thought it was assumed that OP was outlining only their thoughts on when one intoxicates themselves. I think the ethical reasoning that undergirds NY's law is that one can't be held responsible for something unknowingly forced upon them, but they do have some degree of responsibility for when one intoxicates themselves (although I wouldn't disagree that it's wrong to exploit people in this state). This explains the exclusion of such cases.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/10/13 11:16 AM
5	Why intoxication does not always take away ability to consent: a legal perspective You're a lawyer, it would seem, so you know that "the law" is not a monolith. The NY Penal Code defines 2nd degree rape as when: he or she engages in sexual intercourse with another person who is incapable of consent by reason of being mentally disabled or mentally incapacitated. with mentally incapacitated defined as a person is rendered temporarily incapable of appraising or controlling his conduct owing to the influence of a narcotic or intoxicating substance administered to him without his c…	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/10/13 08:12 AM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
