That's not how "career woman" is defined: a woman who considers her job and success in her job to be very important in her life A career woman may be a workaholic, but she can also have a good work/life balance. OP is misusing the term.

Yup. My husband has never set foot in a gym and has more muscle from his lightly active job than I do from weightlifting for years.

I actually studied ethology, and still work with a lot of them. It is not accepted that there is a dominance hierarchy amongst all social animals. Instead there is often a dominance relationship between specific individuals WRT specific resources. E.g. between dogs A and B, dog A may display dominance towards choice of bed, while dog B may have dominance in terms of first access to food bowls.

I went to a party last night. No one had sex or did anything stupid. I did discuss the representation of anthropology within a book series, the psychology of "mind-reading", the variables affecting university league tables, the need for thorough risk assessments when conducting fieldwork, and how poaching is affecting body size in flying foxes. But yeah, parties = stupid...

the same could be said for a man who will marry you but won't take your last name No, it says you'll have problems with her following you. That you aren't a team unless the wife is in charge. Men in their naïve practicality might agree to this, not understanding the consequences. And you could say the exact same thing about a man expecting his fiance to take his last name...

I actually found some fabric of farm animals doing yoga! I made a bag from it though.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/09/18 12:05 AM

Yeah, when I make clothes my primary concern is not "does this dress make my boobs look as big as possible and my waist as small as possible?" In order of priority it goes: Does the fabric have a super cool pattern, preferably with animals on? Are the colours bright and pretty? Is the dress comfortable to wear? Is the fit good? Is it professional enough I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen out and about in it by my boss? Is it vaguely flattering? Is the fabric high quality?

If she's happy not orgasming every time, why can't you just accept that her sexuality is different from yours instead of projecting your insecurities onto her?
/r/PurplePillDebate22/08/18 10:42 PM

Why should anyone have to experience sexual pleasure in the way that you do? What makes your way objectively right? I rarely orgasm during sex because I don't particularly care to. I still love sex so why "should" I have to do it any differently?

When we were planning our wedding my husband and I agreed on everything but the song we should walk down the aisle to. Our favourite love song is Happy Together by The Turtles ("No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be. The only one for me is you, and you for me"), but it's too dance-y. I wanted I Choose You by Sara Bareilles ("I will become yours and you will become mine"). My husband wanted My Kind of Woman by Mac DeMarco.

You're not going to have kids with Bob normal working at Home Depot pulling in a median income, with median interests being a median guy. Well, why not? My husband is a sales assistant in a carpet store. I couldn't care less. Redpillers are always banging on about how a woman's career doesn't matter to them, but then refuse to accept that women often feel the same way. (I know, I know, NARPALT...)

Unless this is a field that requires a lot of lab time, it sounds like there's just a culture of procrastination in the name of "working". You can easily treat a PhD like a 9-5 if you're strict about it.

Hey, something we agree on for once. It's not scientifically valid and is subject to numerous criticisms.

Sure, but it's a decision you choose to make (even if sometimes none of the options are great ones). You weigh up all sorts of factors when buying/renting a home - size, price, distance to work, number of bedrooms, does it have a garden, are there shops nearby, etc. Some people just put greater emphasis on the location factor, and may compensate their standard of living in other areas. That may mean working more, or it may mean not having a holiday every year.

I don't think it's really fair to include commute in working hours. There's nothing about having a career job that necessitates having a long commute - that's a choice you make. I'm willing to pay a bit more in rent in order to live in a nice location close to my work. My commute is a ~15-20 minute bike ride along a river. Still a bit rubbish in winter of course, but I wouldn't consider it work.

That's not how surveying works. You don't need to survey every single person in the population, you survey a representative sample. According to the 2014 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey 92% of women who are/have been married are circumcised. Thankfully, this appears to be on the decrease. For girls currently aged 0-19, "only" 56% are expected to be circumcised.

Most women are very "serious". It seems like a lot of women are miserable more often than not, and while that's okay if they have a good heart and care about others, I don't find it attractive. Women are also less likely to have special interests and more likely to casually like a lot of different things, which is good in the sense that it's good to be a well-rounded individual, but I find that a lot of women aren't really that passionate about anything aside from their families.

I usually only hear this in relation to having children, not being married. Here's some evidence from Denmark: The arrival of children creates a gender gap in earnings of around 20% in the long run, driven in roughly equal proportions by labor force participation, hours of work, and wage rates. Underlying these “child penalties”, we find clear dynamic impacts on occupation, promotion to manager, sector, and the family friendliness of the firm for women relative to men.

There are 9 criteria for BPD. You only need 5 for a diagnosis. This means that 2 people who both have BPD can manifest in very different ways, and blanket statements are often not applicable. Secondly, my experience and that of my best friend who has BPD shows you can "truly care about a man that loves them in a secure attachment manner."

So much of this is just, not true... This may apply to the people with BPD you've met, but is by no means universal for all sufferers. BPD is literally incurable Depends what you mean by "curable".

I have no idea what the dating life of the 99th percentile for height in men is like - by definition they're not very common. Even if they don't have problems dating however, that doesn't mean that women generally want freakishly tall men. For all we know there's a small subset of women who specifically go after giraffe men. Perhaps the top 1% of tall women love them because they can wear heels when dating them.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/04/18 08:16 AM

...do you think I've never met a really tall person before? I can assure you I have. Admittedly I've never dated someone with a freakishly large penis, but my best friend tried and she said it was awful. It hurt. My husband has a normal size one and even then we need to be careful in certain positions in case it got my cervix. More is not always better.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/04/18 08:06 AM

Just because certain traits are generally desirable, doesn't mean that being in the 99th percentile for those traits is necessarily a good thing. With physical traits like height or penis size there's often a sweet spot, but beyond that you start to get freakish. A 7.75" penis sounds awful, as does dating someone a foot taller than me.

This is something that comes up a lot, and it usually seems to be the result of a miscommunication between the genders. There are 2 definitions of "respect": a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. In my experience when men talk about "respect" they're generally referring to the former definition. When women talk about it they generally mean the latter definition.

It's not. It's also not bad for a specific woman to not want that role for herself, or for a man to not want to be stereotypically masculine.

Prole women get degrees. Why do you believe that? There are literally more male babies born each step you take up the class ladder. Source? This large scale study says otherwise: No evidence was found to support the hypothesis that parental social status has any significant effect on the sex ratio of offspring. Totally open to a recent meta-analysis/systematic review though.

A) The meta-analysis you linked focuses only on children and adolescents.

B) The meta analysis you linked still found an effect size of .22 for the stereotype effect! It failed to find and effect of moderating variables.

but even in Western Europe I would say overweight young women (below the age of 30) are in the minority, no more than 20% even in places like UK or Greece that apparently are the the leading countries for obesity in the Old Continent.

Because it's wrong. The post argues that "if you're not Alpha, you're a cuck", defining cuck as someone receiving worse sex because their partner isn't attracted to them.

When one person is too incapacitated to consent, and another person takes the initiative to have sex with them, that person is a rapist regardless of gender. If a guy passes out and a woman mounts him, she is also a rapist.

Kelly Brook vs Emma Watson. Stop trying to exaggerate the difference. Also, lol at Kim Kardashian having a 38E bra size. This what someone who wears a 38E looks like.

Best not to put too much stock into it. The actual hierarchy lacks empirical support and the rank-ordering of the needs has been questioned (Wahba & Bridwell 1976). It's based on Western ideology and is considered ethnocentric by some as it doesn't account for differences in the cultural needs of societies (Hofstede 1984).

Yes, and I'm saying people can become sexually attractive after you get to know them.
/r/PurplePillDebate22/06/17 05:23 PM

I generally am not attracted to men of that description.

There isn't such thing as "after knowing him better he became attractive" Yes there is. I don't know how often it happens, but it can and does happen.

Campaigning to change the definition of rape to include male rape is an action. It contradicts your preconceived notions of what feminism is but rather that admit it's possible you might be wrong, you're just trying to hamster it away.

Because they realize that feminism is not actually good for women. Speak for yourself. Personally, I feel that the rights to bodily integrity and autonomy; to vote (universal suffrage); to hold public office; to work; to own property; to education; to enter into legal contracts; and to have marital, parental, and religious rights, have been very beneficial.
/r/PurplePillDebate19/06/17 10:05 AM

Society and that various feminists say females can't ever rape males. Absolute bullshit. Male rape is certainly marginalised compared to female rape, but it is completely untrue to pretend that society/feminism claims it doesn't exist.

You can't actually reliably assume that morbidly obese women had the highest N-count. Look at the SE bars and the actual numbers on the graph.

Perhaps so-called ‘women’s jobs’ attract deflated salaries precisely because they are held, in the main, by women. A number of research studies have shown that managers simply recommend lower salaries to women job applicants even when their male counterparts submit identical CVs (Davison & Burke, 2000), suggesting that the gender of job-holders may indeed influence the way salaries evolve over time.

/r/PurplePillDebate28/05/17 04:19 PM

Impossible to answer accurately and for all situations. It depends on the combination of different qualities and the personality of the person who possesses them. E.g. I think blue eyes are the prettiest, but that doesn't mean I like everyone with blue eyes, nor does it mean I dislike everyone without blue eyes. Generally speaking though, I like things like a genuine heart-warming smile, full lips, long eyelashes, big eyes, thick hair, pleasing voice, etc.

What utter bullshit. What exactly is it about lacking a penis that you think means a woman is incapable of instilling moral values and ambition in their children? Because my mother did a great job of both.

Ignoring this study for the moment, bisexuality != exactly equal preferences for both sexes. It just means you experience attraction to members of both sexes. You can be bisexual and generally find women hotter than men, as long as you do sometimes fancy men as well.

Who's joining which family? Who's entering who's life? What? I find this rather an odd viewpoint. Surely both partners are joining their families together?

That would only be correct of the question was the other way round, if it asked whether all Lazzies are Bloops. Every single bloop is a razzie, and every single razzie is a lazzie, so it's impossible for a bloop to not be a lazzie.

There's like 1.4 million female secondary school teachers in the US alone. Even if you accept that once a month there's a news article about one of them sleeping with a pupil, and 100x more of these cases actually occur (which is highly debatable), that's still only a 0.08% prevalence rate. Still shit to be sure, but hardly an "epidemic".

A greater level of social respect for your relationship. Like it or not, people tend to view marriages as more serious than couples who just live together. This can pay off in lots of little ways - e.g. "I can't work on Saturday because my in laws are in town" goes down better than "I can't work on Saturday because my boyfriend's parents are in town".
/r/PurplePillDebate23/04/17 07:47 PM

That's what I'm wondering. Is it threatening? Is it persistent? Or is it just direct?

Dude, have you seriously never heard the circlejerk about #notallmen? Men are just as likely as women to go "not all members of my gender are like that!" It's frequent enough to have a joke hashtag attached.

/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/17 09:50 PM

You're missing my point though. The original question was binary, intelligence or beauty. If you want to contribute to society and can choose between two traits, intelligence or beauty, then intelligence will almost certainly be more widely useful.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 08:29 PM

I think it's doubtful whether someone lacking in empathy would care about contributing to society.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 08:23 PM

Hey, thanks. If you have any pictures of quilts you've made I'd love to see them for inspiration.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 07:50 PM

Once I collect enough scrap pieces of fabric from other projects, I think I might.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 07:44 PM

I'm sure your home looks fabulous by now! No one else sews in my family unfortunately, but my mum's already asking me to make her curtains. Are there any good resources you've used for curtains? We're not, but thank you! I'm just a planner. :)
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 07:02 PM

It took me so long to figure out you meant surgical work. For some reason I thought you were either making paper dolls or matchmaking.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 06:50 PM

That's what inspired me - I did a cushion workshop. Using a sewing machine is so different (ie more enjoyable) to sewing by hand! When I get pregnant I'd love to start a quilting project for the baby. If you do make a quilt I'd love to see it.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 06:49 PM

I've discovered a surprising love (and talent) for sewing. With all the baking I already do and the full skirts I wear (and now make), I think I'm slowly turning into a 50's housewife.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 06:23 PM

No. The point is simple. If you want to contribute to society, then intelligence will be more useful to you than beauty. The fact that many people don't care about "doing good" is immaterial.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 06:20 PM

That doesn't change her point. Even if many people do not wish to contribute to society, intelligence would be of more use than beauty for those who do.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 05:54 PM

Doesn't change the fact that intelligence can be better applied to do good.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/04/17 05:52 PM

Intelligence can be far more widely applied to help others and benefit society than beauty.

/r/PurplePillDebate11/04/17 03:56 PM

There's no such thing as an objective, universal 10. I know I'm a 10 to my husband both because he's in love with me, and because I posses the type of physical attributes that he is most attracted to.
/r/PurplePillDebate11/04/17 03:22 PM

Wrong. The chances of a random woman being a physical 10 to him are small. The chances that he thinks the woman he choose to marry is a 10 are far higher.
/r/PurplePillDebate11/04/17 03:17 PM

I'm not assuming anything thanks. I know how my husband feels about me specifically, and I know what sort of women he likes generally.
/r/PurplePillDebate11/04/17 12:24 PM

Chances that the man who married me and who has a lot of sex with me is highly attracted to me are actually fairly high.

How do you know your penis isn't attracted to every single woman under the age of 50, no matter how ugly or obese, but your subconscious ensures you think you're only attracted to the hot ones for social acceptability reasons?

I really don't think I can put one objective number on my physical attractiveness, because it will depend on the preferences of those who view me. To my husband I'm obviously a 10, to someone who hates tattoos I'm probably a 2. It has also varied at different points in my life - eg weight gain due to a hip injury. Generally I'm pretty cute - a curvy US size 4 with neotonous facial features, but also polarising traits like tattoos and short hair. I was an adorable child and got told so all the ti…

J.K. Rowling wasn't born into a highly privileged life, she was a single mother on benefits. She's not an ivory tower academic (not that I fully agree with the term).

What makes a woman "low beta/omega"? How do the female posters here exhibit those traits? What makes them less than average?
/r/PurplePillDebate25/02/17 10:01 AM

From what I've seen, almost all of the women here are the female equivalent of low beta/omega males. Not necessarily in terms of looks, but in beliefs, behaviours, attitudes, mental and social problems, etc. What are you basing that on?

/r/PurplePillDebate25/02/17 04:30 AM

Honestly, even if she wasn't an identical twin, but was young and attractive, this is not a good thing to ask somebody. You know the answer, you know he "can't" give you the right one. The lie will be unsatisfying, the truth--hurtful. Honestly, that completely depends on your relationship and personality. I ask my husband who he finds hot because I find the answers interesting. I like guessing to see if I know his taste. He doesn't lie about it and I don't find the truth hurtful.

I hate it when names you like suddenly become really popular. Names like Ava and Olivia are all the rage now, which is a shame because I think they're very cute but I wouldn't want my child to be 1 of 5 kids with the same name in their class. The names Jessica and Hannah were like that for my age group, I know loads of them. Violet is lovely, and I like Emma because a favourite family member is named that. Also a few years off having to use any baby names, but they're fun to discuss!
/r/PurplePillDebate23/02/17 04:03 PM

Women don't find beards attractive. Lots of women do. If that were true then Bin Laden would be a sex symbol. Jesus Christ.

Proponents often claim that they fat shame to shame people into being healthier, but it doesn't even work.

My point isn't specific to Taylor Swift though, I'm talking generally. I've seen this notion that to be a "true feminist" you have to love all women bandied about multiple times, and I think it's rubbish. Treating women as a single entity without varying personalities hardly seems feminist to me.

She's not a true lover of women, either--from Katy Perry to Nikki Minaj to Ke$ha, she's been involved in a lot of feuds with female celebrities, yet at the same time willing to slander women for not properly supporting other women. To add on from your comment, I think it's unfair to accuse someone of not being a feminist or "true lover of women" just because they have issues with some individual women. Recognising that women are people and some people are shit is plenty feminist.

Do you think BLM and MRA are selfish movements also?

Right of course, 2 people say feminism is irrelevant and 1 person says it isn't, so that's cut and dry then. /s

What math? You didn't provide any math, just anecdata - matched by my anecdata I may add.

And when I lived in one of the largest cities in the world last year and had a wide variety of friends and associates from all kinds of backgrounds almost every single woman I knew mentioned feminism at some point and still found it relevant to their lives.

Why, just because it represents your views? Many would disagree with the statement.

You're completely right, though I don't know why you're ascribing this lack of due diligence to SJWs only - I've had the exact same response on CMVs from Redpillers in the past.

Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it not science. If you think there are actual methodological flaws, address them.

There have been multiple scientific studies which have provided similar evidence, and yet so far the majority of the comments are just blind disagreement. Just saying "no" to science is not how an intellectual discussion is supposed to work. If you think there are flaws with this study, point them out or try providing alternative scientific studies which reached different conclusions.

Your response to "your source is unreliable" is "well there are other unreliable sources out there too"?

You mean the book which "disappointingly fails to meet even the most basic standards of scientific accuracy and balance. The book is riddled with scientific errors and is misleading about the processes of brain development, the neuroendocrine system, and the nature of sex differences in general. Source. Which study specifically does that quote refer to?

I get the moths for him in return.

My husband is kind and patient, I can tell him anything. He's my biggest supporter but also keeps me grounded by constantly making fun of me. He's literally the funniest person I've ever met and there's no one else I'd rather spend my free time with. Having 2 incomes means we can afford a nicer place together than either of us could alone. Double the people in one house doesn't mean double the chores, so we each have less to do than if we lived alone. He does all my laundry. He's great in bed. H…

Stefan. 20 matches a day yet only 5 dates in 2 years. Must just be in it for the validation of course. No other possible reasons.
/r/PurplePillDebate04/01/17 08:13 PM

It's telling that these guys will get like 20 matches a day but in reality they've only been on like five dates. Proves that it's much more about validation than anything else.

Ugh, MBTI again. It's not scientifically valid and is subject to numerous criticisms. It was developed by 2 people who weren't trained scientists off the work of one psychologist whose own work was also subject to numerous criticisms and untestable. Most of the "evidence" supporting it is methodologically unsound/paid for by the Myers-Briggs foundation. It relies on dichotomous binary choices which is unrealistic - people fall in a bellcurve not a bimodal distribution. It's also unreliable - up …
