| -4 | With terfs getting more popular, Im worried about The future of mens rightsStumbled on this from /r/all. Lmao of course MRAs are allying with TERFs here, with absolutely zero self-awareneness. They really took a look at the real life caricature of "evil misandrist feminists" and went "well I hate all feminists so if TERFs hate most other feminists and most other feminists hate them, that must mean TERFs are my allies". Same logic as TERFs allying with the far-right who hate women just because they hate trans women even more. Hope they prepared a nice marinade for their… | /r/MensRights | 20/04/24 01:39 PM |

How many times I can repeat that neither muscle mass nor bone density, not even some parts of this "larger male frame" survive the loss of testosterone?

That's the weight of an extremely buff male athlete. And still had high testosterone levels. Hasn't finished transitioning, then, should have been disqualified. Agree with you on that one. https://abcnews.go.com/US/transgender-teens-outrun-track-field-competitors-critics-close/story?id=55856294 They don't say anything about her physical metrics, this is not evidence. h… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 12/07/19 10:53 AM |
| 1 | He ain't wrongWe only have the amazing coincidence that out of millions of female competitors, a few biological males dominate every sport they're allowed to compete in despite apparently being "disadvantaged" lol. Again, show me specific examples, please. I don't watch any sports so I wouldn't know. But there's like hundreds of different sports out there, you're claiming every single them is dominated by trans women, while in the same breath saying trans women in sports are too rare to conduct proper studies… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 11/07/19 11:30 PM |
| 1 | He ain't wrongI suppose you just think it's an incredible coincidence that trans "women" are dominating competition with actual women in any sport requiring physicality. Show me where all those dominating trans women are. I've literally only heard about a couple. As I said, selection bias. Nobody's interested in trans women who lose.

| 1 | He ain't wrongAll I am saying is that actual trans athletes and hermaphrodite athletes should not be allowed to compete in women's sports. Trans women (as in, male to female) are no stronger than an average woman, even weaker if anything, because by the time they've finished transitioning, they actually have lower testosterone levels than an average woman - much lower, in fact, critically low, because they had to chemically block their testosterone all this time, unlike cis women who had naturally circulating… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 11/07/19 06:36 PM |
| 1 | He ain't wrongThose women are rare, but there are actually some women who have extremely high testosterone levels for women. The tallest woman in the world was 7 feet 7 inches, and shas biologically female. Exceptions always exist in nature. Unless they have proof that they're trans, you can't just automatically deny they're women. Last time I checked, sex was determined by chromosomes, because that's the only objective, mutually exclusive characteristic - either you have XY or XX (of course even there there … | /r/PussyPassDenied | 11/07/19 03:50 PM |
| 0 | He ain't wrongIt's not a skill gap, it's a strength and speed gap. Women aren't inherently less talented, dumber or worse at technique than men, there are just a lot of spots where strength and speed wins over skill and technique. I mean, if giants existed (actual giants, like 20 feet tall), you could take one completely untrained and still have it wipe the floor with the men's world class team, simply because it has a huge advantage of strength, speed and reach. But you wouldn't say it won because it was mor… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 11/07/19 09:16 AM |
| 1 | He ain't wrongThere are some cis women who just naturally have abnormally high testosterone levels, you just don't see them in sports because they get disqualified for "cheating"... Yeah, I guess if you automatically categorise every extremely strong woman as a man or a doper, there are no extremely strong women out there. But abnormal men don't get disqualified, they get celeberated, even if they literally have severe genetic abnormalities that put them a mile ahead of everyone else. Michael Phelps is litera… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 11/07/19 09:05 AM |
| 2 | He ain't wrongThis is actually a very good argument for one theory how to improve women's sports - drop trying to make them exact copies of the male versions. Men and women are different, the sports they play can be different too, adapted specifically for women's bodies to bring out their strengths or minimise the impact of lower strength and speed. Sports were invented for men, by men, and obviously the standard is according to the upper limits of what men are capable of. Women have a much larger distance to… | /r/PussyPassDenied | 11/07/19 08:52 AM |

Biologically speaking, a person who's gone through puberty and has a post-pubescent levels of sex hormones and developed secondary sexual characteristics would already be considered man/woman.

Either she’s pregnant or not, and if she’s far along enough to be encumbered by it, it’s going to be visible. You know, it wasn't a bear, but a tiger in East India killed 500 people. One tiger.

Women weren’t pregnant all the time. In current hunter-gatherer societies women have a child every 4 years or so, ~5 children per woman on average. It’s really unlikely that a bear would walk into a camp, but if they did, most likely people would stay away and wait until it leaves, or scare it away with fire, since most animals are afraid of it (and hence afraid of humans)… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/07/18 12:23 PM |

No man could kill a bear with his bare hands (no pun intended). Even with a weapon he would have an extremely hard time doing it alone. Earthquake, wtf?

And, no, you don’t get to redefine what “society” means just to fit your agenda. The cornerstone of “humanity”, what initially separated us from other primates, was our large brains and use of language. Hunter-gatherers were humans for hundreds of thousands of years. They had language. They were advanced tool makers. They had religion and culture.

The bulk of the supply came from starchy tubers and nuts that are relatively high in calories and nutritious, and honey (very high in calories, gathered by both men and women, depending on the society and type of bees). “Gathering” also includes insects, larvae, eggs and immobile animals such as shellfish.

Lets blame men again!What else should they do, finish high school and sit at home for the rest of their life, hoping that some high-earning man is going to pick them up right away? Having a career is not a problem, it’s never been. Telling women not to have a career because it’s mutually exclusive with having children is some conservative bullshit...

| 1 | Feminist Myth: Women weren't "allowed" to workWomen didn’t have any more leisure time than men, unless you’re not counting childcare or some of their other tasks as work. I’m sure their productivity itself was lower than men’s, but that’s because an 8 months pregnant or 2 weeks postpartum woman physically can‘t do as much as someone who’s not pregnant or postpartum, and those women had a child every year or two. But maternity leave wasn’t a thing and women weren‘t given any allowances, they had to work as much as they could. Pregnancy can b… | /r/MensRights | 03/07/18 03:56 PM |
| 1 | Feminist Myth: Women weren't "allowed" to workWell, duh, of course most women in the past had to work. If there are feminists who claim otherwise, then they’re extremely ignorant, but I’m sure what most feminists are saying is that for most of history women didn’t have the same opportunities for education and prestigious, enjoyable and well-paid work, which is absolutely true.

There was a recent study that came out in November showing that Neolithic women had 16% higher bone density than today’s female Olympic rowers, echoing similar findings from a study on the bones of medieval women from Northern England, they were found to have been very sturdy and muscular.

Women can do the same thing, there are just some fundamental obstacles that come with that.

She's a neuroscientist and doesn't believe in "blank slate", she laid out somewhat of a "middle ground" approach between the "men are from Mars, women are from Venus, it's 100% nature" and "It's 100% nurture, gender doesn't exist." At this point it should be obvious to everyone even remotely educated that it is a mixture of nature and nurture. The problematic part is figuring out which parts exactly are nature/nurture and by how much. She d… | /r/MensRights | 15/02/17 07:11 PM |

Like, what's the point? I've heard the course is hard as fuck too. I know this happens in some countries like Iran and Pakistan because being highly educated adds to the woman's status for marriage and men seek highly educated women, and it's actually becoming an issue because some fields like medicine are female-dominated yet too many women waste their degree.

I used to believe that... until I got out of Red Pill circles and heard more from other men. What I found out is that sex can absolutely feel meh or bad for men too.

While clitoral stimulation feels better than vaginal stimulation, PIV still feel good to me, even on its own, and PIV actually makes my clitoris more sensitive - makes sense, since clitoris actually extends far deeper than its visible part. Vaginal stimulation can even feel good to me outside of the sexual context - for example, taking out the tampon feels pleasurable (but not if it's dry; and putting it in doesn't feel the same way). | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/02/17 06:29 PM |

| 1 | "Men are attracted to confidence"It can be extremely fine for everybody. This is what the "men are jerks" stereotype comes from - many men think they're being confident, but they're massively overdoing is so they just seem massively arrogant instead, and often in a fake way - which is not attractive at all. Women aren't socialised to emphasise their confidence as much so they're less likely to overdo it when trying to appear more confident.

This is completely different from someone who's socially anxious and has poor social skills so they don't look "cute".
