1	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? One course at Stockholm university had to close due to the lack of equal representation of genders of authors on the reading list in preparation for the course (because there wasn't any available, anywhere) A professor of biology lost a considerable grant for a research project due to the fact that he couldn't provide a gender perspective on the mating habits of fish. Well these certainly seem like ridiculous situations, but I'm curious whether there's more context to them that I'm missing here.…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 09:03 PM
1	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Women want to feel safe and comfortable in a relationship And men don't? So you object to his comment about how he observes women not wanting to be treated as equals Again, he has no evidence to support his claim. No, you objected to his assumption that women don't want to be treated as equals Yes, and then you said that women aren't usually expected to call out people who cat-call their boyfriends. Which is true. But that's an observation of social norms – not a reflection of women's desires. T…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 06:19 PM
2	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? the Scandinavian/Norwegian gender-pay-paradox The researchers, from Leeds Beckett University and the University of Missouri, believe this might be because countries with less gender equality often have little welfare support, making the choice of a relatively high-paid STEM career more attractive. Institutionalized, state funded gender programs that are mandatory at every level of state (from our version of congress right down to the person hired by the municipality for mowing the lawn) I don't …	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 06:07 PM
2	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? it’s just that women in sexual relationships are in a position to demand it whereas men generally aren’t I mean, this seems to be a pretty good argument for feminism. If we're not all on equal footing to have cool experiences created for us, we definitely should be (cause it's super fun).	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 05:49 PM
3	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Ime women want to be led If that's your experience, great. But I don't think you can extrapolate from that that all women always want to be led. it’s the way you get casual sex 90% of the time This doesn't seem like a particularly rigorous statistic you create a cool situation and bring her along for the ride My gf does the same for me sometimes. It's great.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 05:38 PM
0	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? No it's not. Women still expect you to protect the family. That's a sweeping generalization and there's no way you can support it. I'm not saying that there aren't some women who would want or expect that, but that is by no means a hard rule. What kind of woman doesn't expect her husband to protect her and their kids? Maybe one whose husband is a domestic abuser, for one. But you really don't think women would step in to protect their kids if their husband wasn't around? When there is a particul…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 05:37 PM
2	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Frankly, I don't think anyone can say whether most women even do want any of the things OP laid out. I was just assuming that some women do for the sake of answering his question.	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 05:10 PM
1	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? I hear what you're saying (and agree in principle), but could you give some specific examples that you think seem to have widespread support?	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 05:10 PM
-2	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Isn't the belief that men should protect women inherently unequal? Yeah, and I think it's stupid and outdated (not to mention all that accurate from a biological perspective). Isn't a desire (even subconscious) for male height and muscle mass the desire for men to protect them? Frankly, I think it's irrelevant because we don't live in a jungle and most people probably just think of it as attraction rather than some weird psycho-biological threat assessment. I'd argue the vast majority of women w…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 05:09 PM
-1	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Why do women want so badly to be treated as equal partners in some sort of idealistic way, when it isn’t what they actually want? Where are you getting this assumption that women don't want to be treated as equal partners?	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 04:55 PM
3	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? I'm an American so hopefully I can offer some perspective here. Yeah, I think this is generally true. I know that certain cultures (like in Sweden and other parts of Northern Europe), people are typically less outgoing toward strangers. America tends to be more on the "friendly" side of things (at least in certain regions), so it's not unusual to strike up conversations with strangers in bars and other public spaces. I definitely agree it has its downsides (especially as it related to badgering …	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 04:48 PM
1	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Yes, I truly don't. Do you advocate for free speech, i.e. people's ability to send hate mail to each other?	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 04:38 PM
3	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Is that truly obtainable? Why not? I find the disconnect between what libfems preach (inclusive towards all family models) with what they so often desire themselves (exclusive heterosexual monogamy) to be annoyingly inconsistent. I don't see how advocating acceptance for things that you don't personally do is hypocritical. To me, that is analogous to believing in one religion while claiming you make no judgement about other religions. Do you really not believe this is possible? They clearly beli…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 04:23 PM
3	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? The analogy can still be drawn since the mother voluntarily enters into a mother-baby relationship that puts that baby's needs over her own desires It's not about whether or not it's voluntary, it's about the inherently unequal dynamic of the relationship. Two adult humans are equals, an adult and a baby are not. A baby cannot simply leave the parent and survive on its own – an adult can, which is why (at the bare minimum) the possibility of independence is important in a relationship. But it se…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 03:51 PM
3	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Of course. But a desire for independence without an ability to obtain it is not the standard that defines a problematic relationship. I would argue that having a baby (as a woman) ties you to an arrangement that gives authority to a baby over the comfort of the mother. Her desires for independence and a bachelorette lifestyle in this case would be considered selfish, irresponsible and morally corrupt. But I don't consider such a baby-mother relationship to be problematic. It just is what it is. …	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 03:22 PM
6	Q4BP: Is the inverse of female sexuality problematic? Is a male desire towards a patriarch inherently un-feminist or problematic? You can have whatever views on relationships you want, as long as you find a partner who agrees and you don't try to force your own ideas on other couples/groups. But as for whether or not it's feminist, it doesn't really treat the woman here as an equal partner in the relationship, so I see problems with it. I suppose it's possible the relationship could start on equal footing with both parties independently wanting thi…	/r/PurplePillDebate	21/05/18 03:05 PM
3	Feminism Vs. Dating: Why Are They At Odds? (or are they?) Treating someone as an object of sexual desire is not mutually exclusive of treating them as a person. You don't need to get consent from an object. You do need to get consent from a person. How is this unclear? You can get consent from someone while treating them only as an object of sexual desire. You dug yourself in a hole now. You said "the problem is that, traditionally, men have viewed women only as objects without much regard to their personalities." Wow, way to leave out the relevant par…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/18 08:08 PM
4	Feminism Vs. Dating: Why Are They At Odds? (or are they?) Yes it is. You said "no one wants that," implying that women never want emotionless, no-strings-attached sex. Again, you're misinterpreting what I said. Plenty of people want no-strings-attached sex – but that doesn't mean they don't still want to be seen as a human being. These are not mutually exclusive concepts. In fact, you need to be able to understand and accept your partner's desires before you can get their consent to a fling. Anything more and feelings are bound to be involved and poten…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/18 07:58 PM
3	Q4All: Do you believe that Western Society lacks a neutral ground? I don't think it's that we lack a neutral ground – I think it's more that one side casts the other as extremist and fringe without actually engaging with their views, which tend to be fairly moderate.	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/18 07:49 PM
3	Feminism Vs. Dating: Why Are They At Odds? (or are they?) At a certain point, you'll go political lesbian and swear off men like many feminists have. You either become male incel and are incompatible with women or go radfem and become incompatible with men. I'm in a happy 3+ year relationship with my girlfriend. False. Be sex positive and inclusive of whores please. Also, plenty of sluts are out for a quick bang and want nothing serious. Stop making blanket statements you then have to walk back. This isn't mutually exclusive with sex positivity. Even p…	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/18 07:41 PM
2	Feminism Vs. Dating: Why Are They At Odds? (or are they?) How you want to act is often at odds with how successful you will be if you diverge from those roles If anything, I think that helps weed out the people you're incompatible with. This feminist dogma where men are banned from treating women as objects sets men up for romantic failure and is at odds with what women want when they purposefully dress to appeal to the male gaze, as the author so clearly notes. Well, yeah, of course people want to look nice and be attractive. At the same time, no one …	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/18 07:26 PM
3	Feminism Vs. Dating: Why Are They At Odds? (or are they?) How rigid do you consider male/female gender roles in dating? As rigid as the two people want them to be, obviously. Is feminism and dating at odds? Not at all. Just treat your partner as a person rather than an object.	/r/PurplePillDebate	14/05/18 07:11 PM
