1	In one season of the Dutch version of "Survivor," the men and women were split and given their own islands. At the end of 8 days, the men had a "Cafe on the beach," while the women were stealing from each other and had not yet built a hut; the women approved of a tribe merger.

1	Defining Femisinsm and TRP Sorry for the delayed reply. Your comment indicates that you do not know what you are arguing with me about.	/r/PurplePillDebate	03/05/15 06:53 PM
1	Defining Femisinsm and TRP I'm not addressing TRP. I'm addressing specific arguments presented in this thread as they are presented so you entire comment is irrelevant. That fact that the broader context is TRP is irrelevant to the individual statements to which I've responded. For example, the broader context of TRP is irrelevant to the fact that treating someone like shit who wants to be treated like shit is not logically or morally equivalent to enslaving an entire ethnic group because one member of that group wants to…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/04/15 03:59 AM
1	Defining Femisinsm and TRP I never addressed the morality of any of the situations. I indicated why the two situations are not logically or morally equivalent. If your question could be equivalently stated as, "Is it ok to treat a person as a slave if that person wants to be treated as a slave and is an informed, un-coerced and mentally healthy individual?" I wouldn't be willing to do that, but I can't think of any justification for calling that immoral off the top of my head right now, but I'm happy to consider any reaso…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/04/15 03:30 AM

7	If gender is a social construct, does that mean gay people are created and not born that way? Gender is a social construct - i.e. how we DEFINE what is feminine and what is masculine is defined by society. This is a positive claim for which I have seen very little evidence. Do you have any convincing evidence for this claim? Convincing evidence would have to support the idea that gender is socially constructed at the exclusion of biological influences. I have never seen anything that does that. There's plenty that does the former, but correlation does not equal causation. How would you r…	/r/PurplePillDebate	09/04/15 01:18 AM

1	Feminism and the Disposable Male - Karen Straughan I think procreation and raising children makes them indispensable, since we can't predict disaster. Or in other words, if women cease to exist as as humans will slowly cease to exist and thus our well-being. Holy non sequitur, batman. I've said nothing to indicate otherwise. Note that the same is true of males. I think you can make an argument that well being and procreation are different subjects entirely. However, I think that an argument of separating the two suffers a loss of meaning. They a…	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/07/14 09:23 PM
1	Feminism and the Disposable Male - Karen Straughan Sorry for the slow reply. My initial response to you was a paraphrasing of your comment into a syllogism and a critique of your conclusion. Both of your premises are true and the conclusion that men are therefore treated as disposable is true. I think the issue is your fluffy way of writing and/or thinking. When it comes to procreation this 100% true before, and still true now. This is a factually true statement that I never, in any way, challenged. However, in a population of over 7 million, it…	/r/PurplePillDebate	06/07/14 06:22 AM

Is it subjective experience, the potential to have subjective experience, the possession of a human genome, etc. If it's one of the first two, does that only apply to humans given that humans are not the only animals with subjective experience or does the fact that many other animal species have simple to complex subjective experience mean they should command more moral consideration?

4	Feminism and the Disposable Male - Karen Straughan That doesn't make sense. To paraphrase: 1) Men are less important than women. 2) Men increase their worth when they treat themselves as disposable. Conclusion: Men are not disposable, it's just a tradition that men are treated as or behave as disposable and are rewarded for it if they don't die. Your argument clearly results in the conclusion that males are considered disposable. Your own concluding statement agrees, even though it claims not to.	/r/PurplePillDebate	20/06/14 03:06 AM

5	Dear PurplePillDebate, what are your thoughts on male circumcision? How could cutting off a portion of a baby's genitals for any reason other than medical necessity possibly not be considered mutilation? It seems as though removal of the labia minora would be about equivalent to removal of the foreskin. Here is a video on the subject that I find helpful.	/r/PurplePillDebate	29/04/14 09:56 PM
5	Women are inherently more valuable than men. There have been studies showing that the pain threshold for women is much higher. This would make sense biologically due to child birth. That is only applicable near the end of pregnancy after they have been bathing in pregnancy hormones for 7-9 months. In general, males have lower pain sensitivity.

2	What's the deal with unpleasant topics On the last point, to race realists, yes. But that's not the manner in which Coyne uses the term race. He, and some other biologists, use it in the same manner they use it for all other species. He included this section in the post: What are races? In my own field of evolutionary biology, races of animals (also called “subspecies” or “ecotypes”) are morphologically distinguishable populations that live in allopatry (i.e. are geographically separated).

Anecdotal evidence can be a good initial observation to prompt data collection that may or may not support the initial observation.

It would be more like a public awareness campaign focusing on anger management that was designed to reduce murder. Then it should focus on the definition of rape and what constitutes rape.

It absolutely is. That is, wanting to learn vs not wanting to learn isn't a binary trait, but rather there's a spectrum of how much effort people are willing to exert to increase their knowledge.

If a leaner is unreceptive, that is the end of the road unless some source of motivation to become receptive can be found. In your case, your parents seem to have provided a direct, immediate and powerful external motivation (i.e. you dreaded your parents' wrath and/or disappointment more than doing the work to learn).

In any case, the factual claim I was responding to was not "Honors classes are mostly the same as non-honors classes in college" it was "Honors classes do not exist in college" which you also proved is a factually false statement.	/r/TheRedPill	08/08/13 07:36 PM
15	On Average, Boys have a 10 point IQ advantage on Mechanical reasoning and a 6.4 IQ point advantage on Numerical reasoning. Translation: Girls aren't as good at STEM fields. I've only fully read your comment, but there certainly are honors classes at universities. I can't say honors courses exist at all universities, but both major universities I've attended offer them and I'm fairly confident they are not at all uncommon. I've provided a link to a good example below, The University of Chicago's program of study in physics. http://collegecatalog.uchicago.edu/thecollege/physics/	/r/TheRedPill	08/08/13 03:01 PM
1	Infographic: 40% of rapists are female Good work, but please fix the statistical error of the title claim in the pink section that has been pointed out (probably more times than you need). Such an error weakens the argument and can be (has been) used as ammunition against the sub in general. Your mention of the need to use lifetime data in the pink section was also good because you are bringing up a weakness of the calculation yourself, but I think it would be best to be more explicit that that makes this less of a solid statistical …	/r/MensRights	05/08/13 03:49 AM
2	Infographic: 40% of rapists are female An insult is not necessarily an ad hominem. It would be an ad hominem if he said you are an arrogant asshole, therefore your conclusions are wrong. The insult must be used as a premise to qualify as an ad hominem. What thekadar81 did is read your comment and conclude, based on your comment, that you are arrogant and have a poor grasp of biology and logic. Additionally, kadar's comment to which you responded "ad hominem" was confirming your own comment that you "...somewhat accept the former [the…	/r/MensRights	05/08/13 02:57 AM

1	Thought you guys might appreciate this Everything bbgg71 said still applies. Any such assumption would be unambiguously illogical. bbgg71 clearly showed that even taking your caveat into consideration, that conclusion would be undermined by an argument from ignorance fallacy (or false cause, hasty generalization, maybe even begging the question [conclusion assumed in premise]...take your pick).	/r/MensRights	29/07/13 09:00 PM

1	Something I've noticed about the "misogyny" on reddit On the first point, my personal experience has been different and I think data suggests younger people are less racist/misogynistic/homophobic/etc, but your personal experience is your own. On the second point, I'd say it's more akin to telling a Christian that he or she is homophobic because most of the Christians you've encountered are homophobic. Even granting your analogy, that would be perceived as racist because the stereotype is based on the person's race (and likely not your interactions…	/r/MensRights	19/07/13 08:08 PM
2	Something I've noticed about the "misogyny" on reddit In general, young crowds tend to be more progressive. They tend to exhibit less racism and, I would expect, less misogyny than old crowds. Therefore, I'm not sure how applauding racism and misogyny is the price of a young crowd. The argument that you are a misogynist based on the web site you visit and comment on a broad generalization and is misogyny in itself. How is calling someone a misogynist because he or she uses a particular website misogynistic? It's certainly a division fallacy, but I'…	/r/MensRights	18/07/13 09:48 PM

10	NZ woman rapes 13 year old boy: Cries in court, avoids jail, avoids a fine, can't be charged with rape A point of accuracy: she wasn't caught; she confessed. Which is great, but she unambiguously deserves to be in prison.	/r/MensRights	28/06/13 08:32 AM
1	For your entertainment, I present a blog post defending circumcision. Here are his videos if you want to watch them. First: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSizgvAwSiM Second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT4OopIORNc I didn't re-watch them, so there's a chance I'm remembering them through rose-tinted glasses. Or maybe they're better than I remember; we'll find out. For me, the core of that argument isn't the dependence, but the simple fact that a fetus is part of its mother's body just as her liver is part of her body. Therefore, she has a level of authority no…	/r/MensRights	31/12/12 10:33 AM
8	For your entertainment, I present a blog post defending circumcision. I don't see the inconsistency of being both "pro-abortion" and anti-circumcision. A fetus is a part of its mother's body and directly depends on her to survive. It is therefore subject to its parent, within reason. A baby is different. It is then its own biological entity. A guy on youtube called "integralmath" did a decent video (two really) about abortion along this line that makes the distinction clearer than me if you have the time/desire to check it out. I'm interested in your thoughts in r…	/r/MensRights	30/12/12 08:30 PM
