The dressing like a woman thing always gets me so I'm glad to hear that leggings/shorts/jeans/t shirts are good. Like I'm all for a skirt/dress when going out or in the summer but I live in Scotland so I basically live in Levi's or shorts and leggings. I feel confident in myself and I always get fitted clothes rather than baggy but I do sometimes feel like I'm not dressing "girly" enough whenever I read this sub.

The switch is trust. You can't be truly submissive until you are comfortable with the guy and trust them, then you can let go and be dominated.

It depends on the tone and situation. Also if they move on or try to pursue when I clearly don't want to speak to them. Doesn't usually bother me too much, unless I'm walking alone at night. It's also a lot scarier to be shouted at in a Glaswegian accent, so that might have something to do with it. I understand it's usually harmless though.

No, the UK. I loved the Brownies and Guides when I was younger. I believe you can still go to the guides as a teacher then even become Brownie and Guide leaders to teach the younger ones. But it takes quite a commitment when you get older and move away from home and have uni etc. so I stopped quite a while ago. But I know it means a lot to a lot of people - like a community. It's like the girls' version of Cubs and Scouts. EDIT: How could I forget about Rainbows - the kids version. So much fun, …

The Browines and Girl Guides would be the modern day voluntary version of this, and they are still very much in practice today. When I went you learnt a range of things from hospitality, embroidery, to chess and hobbies etc. We even learnt about cultures of the world and would go on trips to places. It was great fun and a good place to learn basic skills and make lots of friends. I'm sure they still exist, not sure if the focus of subjects has changed but I doubt it, I think it's a very traditio…

Even in WW1 many women drove trucks and were nurses. I'm on my phone and don't really know where to look for sources. I went to Belgium and France twice when studying the First World War, so got all my information from there.

You're totally doing the right thing. If you get a chance you should explain to her why you are pressing charges (apart from the obvious). Like to teach her actions have consequences and silly little girls lying about men gets peoples lives and careers in danger.

Still doesn't really help my situation. If I don't trust a guy to have sex with him it still includes oral sex. I don't see blow jobs as jet something I can give away for free until I want to have sex with someone. All sex is sex, so unless I like and trust the guy its not gonna happen. Like I said, I have trust issues so I can't really change that. Just wanted to know ways I can show I am interested and not pulling him along, but without giving it up until I trust him.

Thanks for your advice, I just don't want to come across as withholding sex from someone, because I wouldn't want to do that. It's not like I'm trying to withhold sex, its just that I can't have sex until I trust the guy.

I think you misunderstand what I mean. In a situation where I've been seeing the same guy for a short time, but not long enough to know I can trust him (ie. he doesn't just fuck me and leave), then how can I avoid seeming as though I'm withholding sex from him in an unreasonable way? Like how can I trust him to know he's not just saying he wants a LTR when really he just wants a fuck? I never said I assume all guys want a LTR or that I would need ten years to know sir I could trust someone.. So …

But how can I be sure he is actually interested in a LTR? Him simply dying he is doesn't really tick the trust box for me. Some shit has gone down in my past which makes trust harder, but I do want to and I don't want to scare a good guy off because he thinks I'm playing him. I love to spend time with a guy and look after him and cook him things and get to know him, and I get along with people great. I just wouldn't want this issue I have to ruin any chances I may have.

If a man is withholding a relationship for sex and a woman is withholding sex for a relationship when is it right to give it up? Like if I met a RP guy and I liked him and wanted to have sex with him, but wasn't sure I could trust him, when is it right to give it up in order not to be slutzoned, but also not to seem like you're friendzoning?

I hang out with my best friend almost everyday alone and have done for a very long time. We've never slept with each other and it's never even came up. You're probably gonna say that he doesn't see it like that and I know I can't convince you otherwise because I can't read minds so I don't know what he is thinking. But my point is that we have a perfectly happy platonic relationship and I wouldn't ever think of being alone with him as putting myself in a dangerous situation. And I'm all for a fe…

Oh I understand about having few friends. I'm not at shook anymore and I only have a few close friends but they're like my family. I understand what you're saying but these people are my family at this point in my life and I need them for support.

Thanks that's good advice :) I'm still only young so I guess at this point in my life self improvement and friends are what I need in my life. When I'm ready for a relationship I probably will drift apart from them because of my involvement in my relationship. But I just couldn't imagine never spending time with them again (after I was in a relationship). But my feelings may change if I meet the right man.

I understand what you're saying but these are people I've known forever. I'm from a small town and they're my best friends. They've stuck by me through so much and I couldn't imagine just ditching them. With my ex, he got me to stop talking to them and I did because he asked me to but when he abused me I didn't have my support network there. Had to build it back up again after we broke up. It would just be hard to let go of that again. But I guess that's just down to trust.

Thank you for your advice :) and no I'm not everyone's doormat. I only am submissive to someone I love. Just unfortunately he built up my trust and I submitted then he took advantage of that.

Well that's the one part of RPW I can't agree with. Friends are a big part of my life and an essential support network. I suffer from mental health issues and I can't not have that support network.

Maybe this view is against RPW's view, but I'm going to be friends with my friends no matter what. I would never tell my SO to stop hanging out with women he was friends with before I met him. I trust him to be loyal and I would hope he would trust me to be the same. I'm submitting to him in every way and am loyal to him so I don't see why I couldn't have other friends. And yes, I loved him and submitted I him and tried to be the best I could for him and when I was at my most vulnerable he abuse…

That's what I want. I know I'm submissive, but I accept that and embrace that because it means I can look for a man to protect me and that's what I want. I don't want a man I have to protect.
/r/RedPillWomen31/12/13 05:44 PM

I feel the exact same as you have described. I want to respect men because I want to be protect by men, from the men in my past. I want good men in my life, not bad men, but that comes with wanting good people in your life too and understanding that bad men are bad because they are bad people, not because they are men.

Also would like to add that I have gone from believing it was all my fault, to rationalising it was his fault, to feeling guilty that I'd think that, to complete and utter paranoia. I've recently started medication and have tried to look at the situation as logically as possible, considering what actually happened and not how I interpreted them. And I don't believe that I was in the wrong. Granted, I may have done things that he wasn't happy with but his reactions weren't equal. If I did upset h…

He was very controlling and made me stop talking to my male friends. I did, because I didn't want to upset him. I focused all my time and energy on him and ended up drifting apart from my friends (because they are mainly male and he didn't like that). I don't really want to speak much more about what he did to me because I don't really speak to anyone about. Also, my dad physically and mentally abuse my mother and cheated on her.

Yes, I agree with was you say. I just believe that the key to a happy relationship is mutual respect, while filling each other's respective gender roles. I am more than happy to please my man and I want to. But if he is disrespectful to me then I don't feel he is the type of man I would want to be submissive to.
/r/RedPillWomen31/12/13 03:05 PM

I don't believe men and women are equal as we both need to fill different roles, the roles we have evolved to fill. But surely equality should exist in the form of human equality. Each human is entitled to the same rights and respect, and that branches across gender, but also race and class etc. I just want to clarify if this is a RPW value? Or does this count as gender equality? (Genuinely curious). EDIT: like I should be equal to my man in terms of my rights as a human, but not equal in terms …

I end up getting talked down to a lot with people assuming I don't know what I'm doing, even though I was in the top 5 of my class. :/ Gets frustrating, as I'm sure it gets frustrating when feminists come on here and talk about how they aren't the same.

But what do you really expect of feminists? :P I'm not saying that I would support what they did if I lived at the time.

I'd also like to add that the topic of how women got the vote after the First World War is still debated between historians, and although it may seem clear to some, we can never fully know the reasons why the government decided to give women the vote. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm not saying you're wrong. Just sometimes the outcomes in history can be a debatable topic, and its not fair for you to suggest I lack an education simply because there are still holes not even historians can fill. Of co…

I know what the white feather campaign is - given men who did not sign up a white feather so they were shamed as a coward. And of course there were feminists out to be cunts as per usual and shame men. There always will be. But as a whole women got together and did their bit for the country. The Suffragettes may have been violent but all the women in our country proved that we were as worthy to vote as the men. Too many men fought and died in that war, but they won't be forgotten.

I'm unsure of what part you mean? There have definitely been cases in the Middle East where women have been put to death because of reasons beyond their control. If that is what you meant I will happily find you an example to back this up. And I stand by that rape is horrific no matter what the circumstance.

I am of course not denying the disadvantages men went through. Men throughout history have given their lives and bodies for countless rights and movements and freedoms. Countless wars. And they have protected women throughout it all. I have the deepest respect for what they have given and achieved and I wouldn't want to belittle that in anyway. I just think that there are definitely certain aspects when women have been thought of as second class citizen simply due to gender. And there are exampl…

I'm not trying to say men can't approach me. Also forgetting about that scenario, because it isn't a right issue, it was literally just a point when I felt that I was belittled because I was a women. These two men were just idiotic and rude, but that doesn't mean that they were sexist or horrible people. Just rude and drunk.

I totally understand this, but it was only using it as an example of why I relate to women's rights more. I just feel that this, and being talked down to, is just frustrating, and it does lead you to want to pursue understanding of women's rights, if it isn't itself a rights issue. It was a question I was asked, and I answered it. I made it clear that I am for equal rights in both men and women :)

I actually studied women's suffrage during the First World War and the War itself. The women fighting in our country against the government stopped their actions and all worked together to keep the country running while the men were away in Europe. Also they were not shaming the men to go fight, men everywhere were told to go fight and they did so because their brothers and friends were, and because the government forced them. Women were a great support to men throughout the horrors of the first…

I really wouldn't stoop to your level and say you have a small dick or belittle you personally. Thats childish and ignorant and has no place in adult conversation. I simply stated you are angry and disrespectful, which it is clear to anyone who reads this that you are.

However I don't believe a man should chose to abort a child without the mother's consent, the same as I don't believe women should have the right to abort the child without the fathers consent. 2nd statement isn't horseshit.

I'm not suggesting that women don't like that lifestyle, that is entirely their choice and their culture. I just thing there are definitely some laws which abuse women's basic human rights. Like death penalty for adultery when the adultery was rape. I know that these cases are very specific, but they exist and nobody, male or female should have to face death after something as horrific as rape, that is basic human rights.

No it is not. It is fact that women have not been treated equally to men. Women died so we could vote and have the same rights as men. And now we do, and I applaud those women for the work they have done. But now feminism is unravelling that work and we all need to work together for a common goal of gender equality.

Wow, you really have a lot of anger in you. I really hope you can learn to let it go and fight for equal rights instead of against feminism. Men against feminism only makes them angrier and stronger, and the media are going with them because they are scared not to. Scared to be called sexist. What feminists need is an opposition of egalitarians, both men and women. That is more likely to have weight against them.

My friends nor I have ever suggested that men oppress women today. But of course men used to oppress women, and yes men oppress women in other cultures and countries but not in modern western society. Both men and women deserve all basic human rights and neither should have more than the other.

Would you say that the suffragettes were feminist? Actually asking :P. Because if that's the case then would you say that feminism has mutated into something that is doing more harm than good? Because if that's the case then I'm sure that is why many people associate themselves with feminism. Not because of today's idiots, but because of the women before us. I definitely know that's why I considered myself a feminist. I just wouldn't want the hard work these women did bundled in with the mess of…

Rereading your comment I think you just didn't read my answer. I stated 'women can do things men can't.. like having children' you then asked what other things and I said 'its not necessarily things men can't do, just things women are better at'. I was confused because you asked me again what women can do men can't. And I stated that's not what I meant. I meant things women are better at. Again sorry for the disjointed message but I hope that clears it up :)

I may have worded it in a weird way but I think I made it clear in my last comment. Men are naturally better at women than some things. Women are naturally better at men than some things. However gender should not control what you as an individual are good at. Women can have children. That's the four things that I said and believe are true. I'm not sure what else you're expecting? Sorry for the kind of disjointed comment. It's very late here! :P I should really be asleep but bloody reddit keeps …

I totally agree. Whenever I try to bring up gender issues in conversation I just get eyes rolling at me and talked over and treated like a 'silly little feminist' I get accused of be living things I just outright don't believe. Just because I'm a women, so people assume because I have a great interest in gender issues that I must be a crazy feminist out to get them. It's seriously frustrating and it makes me angry that feminists are just undoing so much hard work of WRAs in earlier history. Emil…

Banning lads mags is a major censorship of media. That shouldn't be allowed. It's just photos of women, men like to look at women. Women have magazines talking graphically about sex, because women like to read about sex. Its no more or no less offensive. They shouldn't be censoring anything from adults ever. Adults can make their own choice. However, maybe they should keep them out the view of younger children. The same way that young children shouldn't see the sex articles in some women's magaz…

This guy! Haha :P sorry you just got exactly what I wanted to get across while explaining to me MRAs point of view perfectly :) I totally agree with everything you have said here, and I do understand that it must be tiring having people come on here constantly arguing for feminism when it is quite clear what feminism has done through all the posts that are posted here. Although I really do wish 'we could all get along' in the sense that MRAs and WRAs could join forces to be a larger body that is…

Not necessarily things that men can't do, just things women are naturally more capable of. Just in the way men are naturally better leaders and physically stronger. Women are generally more compassionate, which suits them better to working with children or people who need help. Of course I am not saying that men can't do this, the same way that I'm not saying women can't be leaders. We are just naturally better at different things because thats what we were built for. Also I'm not saying that wo…

Makes perfect sense now! Haha thank you for your patience :P And I agree in the sense that if you are feminist you are 'militant feminist' but I'm just trying to say there are many people out there who believe that they are feminist because they support women's rights. They are more likely to be egalitarian but focus on women, for various reasons. For myself it was because I am a women, but its only come to light recently that I am not a feminist as I once thought. Just wanted to say don't judge…

Isn't it a known fact that men in general are better leaders? They are genetically programmed to lead and be stronger than women. Thats just how it is. Of course there are females who are great leaders, and great athletes, just as there are men who are not. People vary because they are people not because of gender. But when it comes down to genetics there are just things men are better at, just like there are things that women can do that men cant... like have children :P Its biology, of course …

Its all black and white when it comes to right and wrong but when you are actually in the position things will change. For example, in a logical state of mind I would personally get an abortion if I fell pregnant as a teenager because I would not be able to support the child etc. However, when I was 16 I was faced with the potential of being pregnant and my views completely changed because I thought I might actually be pregnant, the decision wasn't as easy. Luckily it was all a scare so it didn'…

I totally agree with this. You are also explaining my point well because you used to identify as a feminist but have now realised you are an egalitarian, like myself. Yet there are still people who believe they are doing good by being a feminist and they do not realise they are doing harm, and they are actually egalitarian, so don't judge a book by its cover. Thats all I was trying to say :)

Also my argument wasn't really that not all feminists are the same, it was more about the definition of feminism. I agree that all 'militant feminists' are the same, and anyone who tries to belittle anyone else's rights isn't okay in my books. I'm just trying to say that for example I thought I was a feminist because I supported women's rights, and I would tell people I was a feminist. If I had said I was a feminist to someone who is against them then I would have been met with a lot of prejudic…

I'm really confused as to why I'm being disregarded here. I believe in gender equality for all and I came on here willing to have an open discussion and it has been very interesting. I just wanted to say that in the media over here that feminism is seen as a much bigger group of people, not simply 'militant feminists', and maybe don't judge a book by its cover. I do understand that you believe a 'feminist' is purely what I would describe as 'militant feminist' but not all people see it as black …

It's different though when its your family your trying to protect. I know that many people would like to believe if they were living at that time then they wouldn't allow it to go on, but fear has a huge handle over people and they thought they would be executed if they spoke out against the government. Imagine that if you spoke out you would be killed, leaving your family and children without you. It would be very different if you were in that situation. I don't blame German people for the Holo…

But I never said that :P I said I believe that al women and men should have equal rights, in all social, economical and political aspects of life. I just used that one case as an example of a time when I've felt that I identify with women's rights more. Of course women's rights isn't just annoying things. Its our right to equal opportunities in life whether that be pay, the right to vote, or anything. But I also feel that it does encompass the right to my body being mine, as much as that should …

I think tbh that its more to do with it being difficult to express tone over the internet and it being easy to scan over a message. If I had been talking to you in person I would have heard the tone you used within your argument and realised you were speaking more generally. I'm also not really sure what problem I have illustrated. I understand the misinterpreting tone and how that leads you onto your argument. But what I don't understand is what you mean by it?

"As long as you call yourself a feminist you condone their actions." I think I may have taken this wrong. I thought you meant 'you' as in me, rather than 'you' as in 'one'. EDIT: and it is followed by 'as long as' :P that was my own fault for misinterpreting, sorry about that.

He can talk about me as much as he wants. I just don't think he should be joking about raping me or rubbing himself against me. Just because it was crowded doesn't mean thats acceptable. And I would say it was a human right to have your body be yours and decide who you let touch it, not just a woman's right.

You are being prejudice towards me though. I'm not calling myself a feminist whatsoever. What I am saying is that many people don't agree that feminism is purely militant feminist and its actually more of a grey subject than black and white. All I wanted to say was not all women are like this, the majority of women you meet on a day to day basis will be level headed well rounded people who believe everyone in this world should be equal. Men/women/LGBT/religious/any race. It shouldn't matter. My …

I stumbled across this subreddit by accident and I agree with most of the things posted here.

You're twisting my words here. I said I lean more towards helping women's rights because I am a women and have to deal with it on a day to day basis. You asked for an example and I gave one. Not at any point did I say that men do not have problems or their problems are not as bad as ours or that I only have problems because I am a woman. I believe both men and women should have equal rights and should respect each other equally. So please don't twist my words because it makes you seem angry at w…

But then you are also saying that Muslim people are supporting their extremists just by having the same beliefs, or that all Christians are just supporting the Westboro Baptist Church because they have the same beliefs. And I said I don't believe people should be faced with prejudice. I.e. they should not be judged on because of they name they use to describe themselves, but of course if their beliefs will harm others then their views should not be respected. ie.

But my point is that many people believe they are feminist because of their fight for women's rights, which has nothing to do with how they view men as a whole. I feel that women's rights have been oppressed because of deep societal roots. I do not think all men are out to get us and there are many women I know who associate themselves with feminism but they would never speak a word wrong with the men in their lives. They have loving fathers and partners and brothers and sons who they love and r…

I just don't feel that each individual should be faced with predjudice because of what they fight for. I also don't really agree with the whole German thing. People get scared and they just try to live their lives. So I wouldn't say that all Germans at that time were to blame. but I know that's not really the point. In the UK there are man people who say they are feminist (and define this as the support of women's rights in social, economic and political aspects) but they do not agree with 'mili…

Oh don't get me wrong, I know there are plenty of feminist out there successfully ruining the image people have of women. But my point was I guess that there are also women who call themselves feminists but really don't want to harm men, they just want to fight for women's rights. But in that case they are usually egalitarian (thanks now I know the word for it!) but just call themselves feminists. I guess all I meant by this post is dont judge someone who says they are a feminist straight away -…
