1	CMV: The claim "there are no innate differences in potential/ability between men and women" - is the claim of female superiority In response to your first question: a lot of women suffer no symptoms, but a lot of other women (Like me) suffer horrible symptoms from day one. The average is usually somewhere in the middle. Women are told not to lift more than fifty pounds during their pregnancies (at least, I was). They struggle with this for nine months, and that last trimester is the worst. For me, it was three months of absolute torture. A lot of women have similar things to say. The women who don't notice their pregnanci…	/r/PurplePillDebate	19/03/18 12:37 AM
1	Why is male circumcision, not taken as seriously as it should be? So then what does that say about the rituals in question? Edit: Do rituals that people wouldn't willingly undergo really deserve to be around? Shouldn't we evolve past them?	/r/PurplePillDebate	11/03/18 07:24 AM
1	Why is male circumcision, not taken as seriously as it should be? I think it should all be done when the women are adults instead of forced upon children. If people still choose to do FGM as adults, I suppose that's on them.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 11:46 PM
1	CMV: Men shouldn't go to women for dating advice because the women won't be honest. Nina Hartley is a heterosexual woman, right? So you're using het women's advice about sex? I mean I don't disagree that randomly asking your friends about what women like during sex is a bad idea, but...	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 11:43 PM
1	I am a guy who’s 21 and doesn’t have his shit together Some things you need to remember. 1.) Most people your age have just discovered legal drinking. No one has their shit together. Most are either in college or working at menial jobs. Case in point: When I was six months away from turning 21, I ended up homeless because my mother, who I was supporting, resumed a relationship with a terrible human being, which forced me to choose between "literally risking your life" or "ending up homeless." 2.) There's nothing wrong with not having your shit toget…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 12:22 PM
1	CMV: Men shouldn't go to women for dating advice because the women won't be honest. Okay, I'll be more specific. The female mind really isn't that different from the male mind because different men have different priorities and desires. Women as a whole might have different mannerisms and behaviors caused by things that happens when you are a woman, but once you understand why those things exist, you're much better-able to react to them and be empathetic to your partner. Thus, "better-able to understand the female mind." Probably should have been more specific about it to be ho…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 11:47 AM
1	CMV: Men shouldn't go to women for dating advice because the women won't be honest. Well, I think that if you're looking for applicable advice, it might be better to have a descending structure. Use advice that comes from straight men for dating techniques. Use advice that comes from lesbians for insight into the female mind (which isn't that different from the male mind in my experience). This may prove useful for dating anyway. Use advice that comes from het women for sex - what they like, what they dislike, etc. Of course, this requires sexist men to respect women, and I hav…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 06:17 AM
1	CMV: Men shouldn't go to women for dating advice because the women won't be honest. Eh, lesbians have some experience, but most lesbians don't want to talk to antifeminists.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 05:02 AM
2	CMV: Men shouldn't go to women for dating advice because the women won't be honest. I've learned that men will often discard women, too. I saw my friends end up discarded quite a bit. Does that mean all men do that? Or were my friends discarded because they chose poor mates? If the latter, why can't you accept that men choose poor mates, as well?	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 05:01 AM
1	Why is male circumcision, not taken as seriously as it should be? 1.) I'm Jewish so no, not xenophobic. I think adult men (or perhaps even in Jewish communities, 13-year old boys) should be able to decide whether they want to circumcise or not (please note that many humans decide they want to get gauges as a teenager, so doing something for religious benefit may well be in that realm). If they feel it draws them closer to God, great! But let's not pretend that forcing infants, who aren't even Jewish, to engage in such an act is even a little bit humane. Thus, …	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/03/18 04:49 AM
1	Why are gold diggers demonized when their strategy is similar to Chad's? Oxytocin puts blinders up.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 10:51 PM
1	Q4W: Virginity and Shaming 1.) I was nineteen, and it was with a woman. (I know you said "piv or anal" but that excludes LGBT folks, and I don't consider the sex I had with my ex-fiancee any less valid than the sex I currently have with my SO.) 2.) I started wanting to have sex when I was seventeen, but I felt a lot of guilt about it. My partner at the time was my high school boyfriend, who wasn't attractive or straight at all, so that was kind of a let down. We fooled around a bit, but then broke up when I graduated high…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 10:45 PM
2	Why is male circumcision, not taken as seriously as it should be? Because it harms children, and no amount of cultural acceptance on our part makes it less barbaric?	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 10:31 PM
3	Why is male circumcision, not taken as seriously as it should be? I know I'm probably gonna get downvoted to hell for this, but fuck it: I have a slight preference for circumcised penises. (Very slight.) I got used to it because all of my prior male partners were circumcised, so it wasn't really something I had to think about. Where I live, uncut guys are actually rarer than cut guys, so it's not really like my preference shrinks my dating pool at all. (Also I'm primarily interested in women, so if my SO drops dead tomorrow, I probably won't have to think abou…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 09:29 AM
2	Is emotion/being emotional good? Yes. Emotion helps us be logical. Things like communities and families exist because emotions drive us, and I would argue that those things are the most logical human creations. They give us chemical ties to people we love that can't be severed with things like self-interest, which in turn helps us survive. Without humanity's capacity for emotion, we wouldn't have achieved so much. It's ridiculous for people to constantly tear that down, as if emotion and logic can't co-exist. They can; you're j…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 09:17 AM
1	CMV: The claim "there are no innate differences in potential/ability between men and women" - is the claim of female superiority You do realize that uterus-bearing people become weaker during pregnancy, right? That pregnancy is basically the equivalent of breaking your leg and having to hobble around on crutches for nine months? I mean I get the argument, but it has its flaws.	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 09:14 AM
2	Q4All: Do you support work towards equality of outcome, equality of opportunity, or neither and why? I think I'd prefer to work towards equality of opportunity... though of course, I also feel that if we had TRUE equality of opportunity, equality of outcome would follow. (I don't believe we have true equality of opportunity, for the record, but.)	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 09:11 AM
1	In this day and age, is talking to women you don't know creepy? :/ Context is important here. Are you talking to her at the club? Not creepy but be willing to accept a brush off as a permanent "no." Are you talking to her at a bookstore? Keep it light, keep it friendly, don't hit on her, and accept the possibility that she might be a bit scared of you. (I met my current SO at a bookstore, so it's not utterly pointless.) If she's interested, she'll let you know. Are you at some event that she can't escape and that you both frequent and can't leave (say, work, or…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 03:46 AM
2	Who benefits most from marriage in hetero relationships -- men or women? I'm sort of married. In my state there's such a thing as "common law marriage," so if my SO and I broke up tomorrow, we would probably have to get a divorce or some such shit. We're planning to get legally married come Halloween, but the clerk basically told us that we didn't have to get a marriage certificate if we didn't want to because literally everyone knows us as a unit. (We do, since it's also the easiest way for me to change my name, but we don't HAVE to.) I'm probably the most exasperat…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 03:36 AM
1	Q4W: Do you have a "fuck only" box? I had a fuck-only box before I met my SO. It wasn't conscious, but I often relegated men to "fuck only" and "possible relationship material." If men in the "fuck-only" box started wanting more, I'd either outright end it, or I'd sabotage it some other way (ie, by taking a more demanding job, being less available, stuff like that). For "fuck only" people, I guess the only thing I can really say is that I wasn't that into them, usually because we had different lifestyles. I don't tolerate any kind…	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/03/18 03:13 AM
