Right, but a 28 year old man who hasn't dated a woman, hasn't seriously spent a lot of time with a woman, hasn't spent a lot of time cultivating a romantic relationship... you learn a lot when you go through that in your 20s. Guys who choose not to do any of that until their 30s are going to have difficulty keeping a relationship - there's a lot of bullshit that goes along with learning how to be in a relationship and most women won't put up with that shit when they're looking for someone to set…

Lol, imagine thinking cosmos is a 'source'. Also, where's the slur? Like this entire sub is a disgusting cesspool of misogyny, but you're right, me pointing out your absolutely incorrect understanding of female sexuality is the real problem. Go off king.

It's almost as if society judges individuals unfairly based on traits they have no control over, as if we don't exist within a perfect meritocracy... I wonder if your point could be extrapolated to other things like sex, race, disability, etc? /s

nope, there is a definite "ew slut" gut reaction, which has little to do with conditioning, patriarchy or anything obviously 'conscious' And you know that because....? Like how do you know that your reaction to a woman who has had many partners isn't part of societal conditioning; you can't know that.

Oh come on, you're seriously linking me an article to the huffington post and you're accusing this sub of fake news? Yes, because a selfie of some random dude with shit scribbled on a piece of paper is more reliable than the huffington post. /s Also, did you even read what you just posted? It's an opinion piece, by a guy who runs several men's rights organizations, as a response to a small study that demonstrates no bias in family courts in Wales and England.

Can you explain to me how Feminists are doing anything to keep men away from their children? Preventing men from parenting their children is actually the antithesis of what feminists want. We are literally fighting to get men to take MORE responsibility for their children, FFS. Fuck this fake news bullshit, and fuck this fake men's rights bullshit. Ban me.

I get that it's a lowkey job, and it's fine to make friends with your co-workers or even to ask them out, but not when they're working. I'm sorry, I've had serving/waitressing jobs and bartending jobs, in customer facing service jobs you get harassed enough as it is, if a co-worker ever tried any moves on me (especially all the bullshit that comes along with TRP) I'd lose it.

The many men and women who work in academics to advance feminist critical theory...? I would really encourage you to actually try to engage with feminism, rather than just writing it off without understanding the core concepts. A person can very easily claim to be something, when they clearly take actions that contravene their claims; it's not my problem if you can't engage in the issue because you have no understanding of it.
/r/PurplePillDebate22/03/18 11:26 AM

Well, there is an entire area of study dedicated to feminist thought; have you ever actually read any feminist critical theory? It's easy to say 'anyone can be a feminist!' when you don't know anything about it. Think more critically; for instance, if someone said they were a fan of a sports team but they don't know anything about the team, or the sport, and in fact they consistently talk in a derogatory manner about that team, would you interpret them as actually being a fan? I don't understand…
/r/PurplePillDebate22/03/18 11:23 AM

I mean... a person can claim to be anything they want, but if you look purely at their actions, and disregard who they claim to be, then it's easy to conclude that some men claiming to be feminists clearly are not, and are somehow using the movement for their own purposes rather than being a true ally. That's the issue that a lot of feminists have with certain male feminists (not all, obviously.)

I would challenge the whole premise of this assertion based on your assumption that there is an inherent way that men need to 'Be'; and I would provide my own counter argument that dictating what men or women must 'Be', i.e. their interests, behaviours, how they socialize, is actually damaging. Just 'Be' yourself, I know that that gets a lot of eye rolls, but I think reinforcing specific behaviours and gendering them alienates a lot of people. A lot of women these days find it difficult and burd…

which is taking jobs from men If a woman is more deserving of the job, why is that seen as 'taking' a job from a man? Is a man automatically more deserving of professional work? In what way do you believe women are 'taking' these jobs unfairly?

Feminism is about equity between the genders, if you read some feminist critical theory, especially contempor…

Huh, looks like women themselves are starting to catch on Lol, a handful of comments does not represent all of womankind. I didn't go into work today, though I am a junior partner in my firm so that was my prerogative. Instead I spent the day with a group of my friends, many of whom are Irish women, protesting for the repeal of the 8th amendment, which prohibits doctors from providing abortion care unless the woman's life is in danger (and even then they sometimes will refuse).

Actually I used Bill Clinton, if you read my post you would see that within his first month of office he had the lowest approval rating of the past 10 presidents, at 51% approval. I could have made other comparisons, like Obama at 64% approval, or Bush Junior at 62%, how about his father,Bush Senior, at 63%? How about GOP god Regean at 55%?

Except that the Brexit poll was off by 2.0 percentage points, and the American election was off by 3.3 percentage points; Trumps approval ratings are lower by a margin of 12 percentage points than Bill Clinton, who was the president that previously had the lowest approval ratings during the first month of his presidency. Are you suggesting that these polls have a margin of error of greater than 12 percentage points? Or are you just making false equivalencies to try and blur the truth.

Automatically she's shifted from a 5 to a 7. And women disregard this advice why? Probably because she doesn't want to be rated on a scale of 1 to 10 like she's in a dog show. Seriously, did you even read the Women's March Manifesto ? How could those changes be enacted through increased personal responsibility? These are overarching and external forces that affect the lives of a lot of women (and men too) daily.

Lol do you know how ridiculous you sound? Did you even try to understand the movement before you decided they were incoherent? Here is a short and sweet Mission statement Just because you don't understand the concept of intersectionality doesn't mean that a movement is incoherent; it just means that once again a member of TRP has failed to recognize nuance.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/01/17 12:13 AM
2

Like I have said before, TRP seems to only deal in extremes, there needs to be some understanding of nuance here. Learning consent and boundaries is most certainly not the same as what you're asserting, the fact that you think that is actually quite disturbing to me; consent and respect are essential elements in having healthy sexual interactions. How can you enjoy sex if your partner isn't enjoying it also?

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but being a teenager sucks for both genders, and once again I don't think what you're talking about is something that can be taught, I actually think that trying to 'teach' that might be damaging or at least confusing for a child/teenager. I think that an awkward period of sexual self discovery is something that everyone should go through; it's rough but then again life is rough and you need to lean how to deal with things like learning to be vulnerable, rejection…

It wasn't meant to be an insult, but I think you should be clearer with your comments; in hindsight it seemed like you were trying to insult my parenting choices but then you yourself got offended when I thought the very same comment applied to you.

Well, considering the Trump government's plan to repeal the ACA and defund planned parenthood, I would say that Hillary was probably better for your sex lives at the very least. I think it's only a logical conclusion that if you have better access to the means of having a healthy and safe sex life; such as affordable birth control, STD testing, treatment for sexual deficiencies etc. you're more willing to put yourself out there and have more sex. But, I don't really have a horse in this race, as…

Yes, I would agree that there are some definite deficiencies in the way that sexual education is taught to both genders, but that wasn't the question I was answering. In terms of sexual education, I would obviously not try to make him 'achieve maximum sexual success' (again, creepy and gross) but to help him have a healthy outlook on sex and how to relate to any of his chosen partners (whatever their gender). That means a thorough understanding of consent, respectful boundaries, personal autonom…

What about the children of lesbian same sex couples? Or trans parents? Or single mothers? Do you believe that they aren't capable of teaching their sons how to be Men? My own husband is an excellent Man and human being, and I love him dearly, but he was raised by a single mother. Personally I believe that having two parents loving and respectful parents is obviously an advantage, but you don't need a man to raise a man.

Why on earth would I focus the way I raise my son on his achieving 'maximum sexual success' while he is a teenager? Frankly that seems a bit strange, damaging and creepy. I would raise all of my children the same way, no matter their gender, focusing on social engagement, respect for others, education, setting and achieving goals and cultivating interests.

Honestly, this 'power dynamics' stuff sounds absolutely exhausting. Why not just treat your spouse as your partner and equal?

Literally no one, not feminists, not women, not the BP are claiming that women are entitled to a relationship; I don't see why this needs repeating?

This kind of mentality is the exact reason why I find TRP so dangerous; you would rather push a woman past her sexual boundaries and purposefully not get verbal consent from her simply because you want to get laid. I'm not even saying you always have to get verbal consent before you have any sexual contact, I'm just saying that if you're unsure if your partner is comfortable/enthusiastic then you should check in on them.

Yeah, that might work in the short term, but usually people catch on when they are being manipulated. To be honest, this kind of behaviour would generally be seen as fairly juvenile, especially in a LTR, and I would have serious issues if my SO regularly cut contact after we had a disagreement. Communication is an important aspect to a relationship, withdrawing that doesn't solve a problem, all it does is extends the issue or maybe sweeps it under a rug for a while.

I think you've once again missed the idea about 'nuance'; literally no one is saying that women aren't flawed, what we're saying is that women are all individuals and flawed in their own ways.

If a woman really does want to have sex with you, then verbally confirming that with her won't change her mind. If you ask her if she's sure she wants to continue (with the sex) and she says 'no', then she wasn't comfortable and didn't want to have sex with you in the first place (and you've just stopped what could have potentially turned into a rape, congratulations!)

I think this is actually a fairly straightforward question to answer; women (just like men, I assume) want a partner who understands social cues and how to read a situation, that being whether or not she is enthusiastically consenting to your advances (and vice versa). If you are ever in any doubt about having someone’s consent, you should ask. It really is that simple.

I'm not always with my husband when I'm on the street, I live my own life and have my own career, so the expectation that he would be there to save me is already ridiculous. I can defend myself. Also I really hate that you're using the trope of the 'dangerous homeless person' as an example; that's a really damaging perception of the most vulnerable people in our society. I regularly work with homeless people at my volunteer position, and I can assure you that they aren't any more dangerous than …

We're definitely talking about the latter, rather than the former.

A Rape kit is when a hospital takes evidence off of a victim after they have reported their rape. There is a very specific way of handling evidence, a chain of custody, so it must be processed in a medical facility, and then it must remain in the custody of the police, so private testing is not possible. The kits take DNA evidence off of the victim, from under their fingernails, off their bodies, from wherever they were penetrated as well as the clothing that the victim was wearing. Additionally…

You don't need to swing from one extreme to the other though. I know that the 'Women are wonderful' effect exists, it's a form of benevolent sexism which also 'others' Women. I'm just saying that there needs to be room of nuance when considering Women, especially if you're going to classify them as a whole group (AWALT). Women aren't just 'Wonderful' or 'Terrible' there is a middle ground called 'Human'

No, once again (for the short bus) there's a difference between a fact and an opinion. A Fact is a statement that can clearly be proven, true or false. An Opinion is an expression of a person's individual feelings, and cannot be proven. Opinions can be based on the interpretation of facts, or they can be based on emotion.

The problem is that the solution you're suggesting often doesn't work. Maybe mild insecurity can be solved with small encouragements, but more extreme cases come along with dangerous behaviours like Jealousy and a need to control your partner. Being clingy and protective is one thing, but insecurity also comes along with anger, violence, control and separation; that opens up a dangerous situation and can often lead to domestic violence. This is by no means restricted to Men, Women can just as ea…

I think the biggest divide here, as in RP vs. BP/feminists/whatever, is their ultimate goal.

First thing first, a woman's body/appearance is her most valued asset. No other measure comes close and that can not be argued or hamstered. No, that's your own opinion of Women.

Why does that have any bearing on someone's career? Here's a hint; Women have to work now, just like Men. No matter who you marry, unless it's like some millionaire, and no matter what your gender is, you're going to have to have a career and work for most of your life. So why is it that Women are still being told to make sacrifices in those careers, just to live a full life, whereas Men don't need to make those self-same sacrifices?

I think we can all agree that there is a sort of 'pussy pass' (definitely your term, not mine) however often these 'priviledges' are rooted in the paternalistic belief system that Women are incapable of taking care of themselves, or that taking care of Women will make them more pliant.

How can she control his attraction to her? Attractive people (even men) usually get further ahead than unattractive people, there are countless studies on the matter.

Yes, I am aware of that, but why should taking parental leave affect a Woman's career? A lot of Women take a year off to raise their children until they are old enough to enter daycare and then return to work; more and more we're seeing men taking that time off as well, yet it is only Women who seem to have their careers suffer because of that lapse in time. I understand that in the United States a lot of Women don't even have that option, because there is no mandated parental leave at all.

I think the reason that we're shocked by violent female criminals is because there are so few of them.

Wait, are you asking current post-modern feminists to explain the inaction of the past generation of second wave feminists? Feminism, as a movement, evolves as feminist critical theory, gender studies and post-modern philosophy evolve. Did you consider that back in the 60's and 70's feminists weren't focused on problems facing men, because they were still facing a huge number of inequalities themselves? Now that we are approaching a more equitable society you will find that many feminists are ac…

Yeah, this is totally normal. I know my (now) husband and I were 'flirty friends' for almost a year before we hooked up. All our mutual friends knew we were into each other, but I had just come off a break up when we first met and I didn't want to jump back into a relationship right away, and he likewise had good reasons for not wanted to be in a relationship when we were friends. It worked out because we were already fairly close when we started dating. That was 6 years ago!

Pg. 13 of this study as society becomes more equitable between the two genders, so does sexual partner selection.

I mean, you're right, Feminism isn't about 'Equality', it's about 'Equity', which is where I can see that some of this confusion, anger and resentment comes from. Equality assumes that we all started out from the same starting position, that we were all born equal and so should have equal opportunities for success as we grow. However, it's fairly clear that that we are not all born equal, things like Gender, Race, Class and Sexuality can all affect the way that we are perceived and thus ‘valued’…

I wouldn't describe the effect as "female viagra" though; you still have to be in the mood for sex before you smoke, I think there's just something about weed that makes you feel closer to your partner, and less inhibited.

I think at this point you're just being obstinate, and you're purposely misreading what I am saying.

Do you agree that children are given less agency because they are seen as being incapable of a level of personal responsibility that would allow them to be full members of society?

Misogyny is the belief that women are inherently lesser than men and have no individuality or personal agency. A man would have to act/talk in a way that made me believe that he thought of women as lesser in order for me to call him a misogynist. TRP is misogynistic because a part of their philosophy is that women are inherently lesser than them (All women are children) and that women have no individuality or personal agency (AWALT).

This is a really destructive way of thinking. People put their bodies on the line (whatever that mean) because they choose to. If someone forced a person to put their body on the line then that would be akin to, at the very least, assault. If you have sex with a woman, and that woman is not a willing participant, then that is rape; which is a crime.

It's not racist to point out the IQ gap between white people and people of colour; thinking that fact proves your race is somehow "better" is racist though. The IQ gap is not caused by black people having a different biological makeup than you; people of colour aren't inherently lesser than white people, and think such a way is racist. The reason that people of colour overall have a lower IQ than white people is because of the systemic poverty, dangerous living conditions (such as lead in the wa…

Then do you leave the house expecting to be attacked/killed/raped daily? Because that's basically the way you want women to act, which is impossible.

yes, of course, because if a woman isn't going to have sex with you then what use is she?! She couldn't possibly want some other form of affection and intimacy, like cuddling or conversation. Nope, it's sex or GTFO bitch, seems like you have a really healthy relationship with women.

If I'm being perfectly honest here, I don't believe you. If you're genuinely telling the truth about needing a babysitter to get drunk then... good for you I guess? No one is perfect, that's the point I'm trying to make. Normal people go out and get drunk, normal people go out and get reckless, that's life. Do people deserve to be raped/attacked/robbed/murdered because they aren't perfect? Is that something you believe? Also chances are you're more likely to be raped by that babysitter than by s…

I think you're missing my point. Do you think that telling your sister to be safe is actually making her safer? It's not. We live in a world where anything can happen at any moment; women are more aware of this than men are because men aren't reminded on a daily basis how vulnerable they are to attack, rape and death. Women should be able to go out, and have a good time with their friends, without having to anticipate being raped/attacked/drugged. If a woman is raped/attacked/drugged then her "r…

Ah yes, horrible women and their horrible social cues, it's not like you spend your entire life navigating them. Here's a hint, if she says no, not right now, looks completely freaked out or uncomfortable, or any variation on that, then the answer is no. There you go, now you don't have to rape anyone! Congratulations.

I mean, where does this come from? This immediate assumption about all women? I've noticed this a lot in the red pill community, women are selfish, childish, misandrist, gold digging whores. If you started to think of women as actual human beings, instead of the "enemy" maybe things would work better for you?

Ideally? Treat her like a human being with equal value and interest as yourself. Don't put her on a pedestal, don't try and manipulate her with your shitty PUA lines, don't try to dominate her with your "alpha" personality. Just treat her like she is a human being; a lot of men manage to accomplish this, but for some reason the concept escapes the red pill community.

Do you go out drinking after dark to clubs/bars/pubs? Do you expect to come home without being raped? Why shouldn't women have the same expectation of safety?

The "rape culture" debate centres around the idea that women should be allowed to do whatever they want (just like men) and shouldn't have to be constantly vigilant, mistrusting and afraid of being raped; or face societal backlash if they are raped. In the example you give, when a woman is not in the mood and she says no; even in a joking manner, then her partner should stop. What does 'no' mean to you that you would expect your partner to have to physically separate herself from you, and push y…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
