I'm going to advise cutting this off at the root: I'd advise you to research into the concept of representative realism, and how to apply the concept - which I believe Robert Anton Wilson does brilliantly in his book Prometheus Rising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cWc_7cT8Hs Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow also present a similar concept applied to scientific enquiry called model-dependent realism in their book The grand design. http://physics.about.com/od/stephenhawking/f/ModelDependent…

If men aren't to blame for 'the patriarchy', and it's a social system contributed to (consciously or unconsciously) by all genders then male social advantages are also 'benevolent sexism', or female social advantages are also 'privileges'. Instead what feminist do is say that female gender based social advantages are 'benevolent sexism', whilst men's are 'male privilege'.

I also think that if men want to claim moral superiority over who dies more; they need to consider when the last man died in childbirth or any of it's related complications. This is a thread about the concept of male disposibility. It isn't a thread about oppression olympics. This short clip called the myth of male power is IMO a concise argument about the concept of male disposibility (ie. the lack of cultural empathy and compassion for male suffering)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pPGijY…

Very few people will admit to being assholes IME, so I don't believe that thread has any value. IMO very few women will have the honest to say; "When I'm in a bar and guy approaches me and says hello I just pretend that they don't exist."

I agree that there are a lot of women who are attracted to abusive men. However, I also believe that there are alot of men who are attracted to abusive/toxic women. (eg. MGTOW stories of past relationships.) I don't like dating and relationship models that teach people to view male-female interactions as a constant power/control struggle, which I believe TRP does (and how psychopaths seem to perceive all interactions). Hence why I agree with this guy's criticism of TRP... What the Red Pill strat…

I don't think TRP is the 'why' - I think evo psychology is philosophy and not science. But each to their own. I'm inclined to agree with Warren Farrell; there probable innate temperament differences between men and women, however men have been socialized to be good 'performers', protectors and providers to be worth of women's attention. (He outlines the core of his gender theory in **Why men are the way they are* and the Myth of male power** FWIW.) This is good intro to Warren Farrell IMO... htt…

I'd steer people away from TRP, and promote that they listen to people like RSDtyler. RSD likes to suck money out of people, but it least it doesn't seem to idealize psychopathy, or promote rape.

Step away from the red pill for a while, and pick up some Warren Farrell. I recommend (regarding relationships) his book Why men are they way they are. You sound like you want a relationship of 'equals' - reciprocity, empathy and compassion. If that is what you want I'd invite you to look into masculism rather than traditionalism (eg. theredpill philosophy). I've been delved into both, and I much prefer masculism.

I love how feminists take greater umbrage at the fact that women are perceived to be weaker than men, the women's issue in it... rather than the fact that men are being beaten by their female partners, the real issue in it. Based on my experience debating feminists. No matter what gender issue, women are either directly or indirectly victims.

I think it's pseudoscience, and is actually social philosophy. I think it's post-hoc explanations of behavior... Nothing scientific (meaning the method) about it. It only explains, but doesn't predict. For the record... I don't think social philosophy is useless or worthless, however I think it's misleading to try to pass it off as science.

Make sure to read some shit about single moms in this sub. One of the biggest red flags to a relationship is if she leaves you and the kid alone together early on. That is her trying to force you to father-child bond with the kid. That should be grounds for nexting. I wish this was a PA.

I think anyone who's fucked several women, or had a one night stand or 2, will call bullshit on his story that he fucked 17 out of 23 women, in a single night at a bachelorrette party (including the bride who came out covered in whipped cream 'like that scene from varsity blue).

There's a big fucking gray area that people are afraid to talk about IMO. When Warren Farrell tried to discuss it he was demonized by feminists. For example; some men assume that if the woman says doesn't say stop, no, or don't that it's OK to proceed, and if the woman initially says stop, no, or don't but then stops protesting then it's OK to proceed. I think in most cases men read their non-verbal communication signals correctly and it's consensual sex, however I think many men don't recognize…

The stereotype of black and brown men is that they are poor and generally outsiders.

She did something to show that she didn't have the strength to maintain a real relationship; that she'd rather take the easy path, rather than the right path.

In her own universe, where she is the center of everything, she genuinely believes that the reason she has sex with men isn't the attraction she feels toward them, but her own drive and desire. I don't think it's either-or. I think it's both internal desire, and the man being attractive. Taking away women's accountability isn't something I'm on board with.

But even that article you cited supports what I've said. It doesn't, it talks about how the behavior standard discriminates against boys because boys are more prone to acting outside that standard.

That's one way of interpreting the education gap.

feminists will work on gender issues so long as they don't adversely impact women. Does that sound more appropriate? I think the most important thing is if it reflects your perception of feminism.

Gender-feminism teaches that the patriarchy and patriarchs- which are and is empowered males/masculine are responsible for all gender related social issues (note; I didn't specify a gender). The patriarchy is essentially the figurative and/or literal empowered male/masculine. Feminism was created in a culture of traditional gender binary, and the paradigm with which it analyzes social issues is based on gender binary. The patriarchy is a gendered term based…

I tried to explain in my initial reply. I believe gender-feminism presupposes that the literal or figurative empowered male/masculine is responsible for gender related social issues ie. the patriarchy and patriarchs. The meta-narrative with which gender-feminists analyze gender related social issues is the empowered male/masculine = bad, and the empowered female/feminine = good. To reiterate - like I said before - I believe the paradigm used for analysis is itself misandrist. The empowered male/…

I do agree that gender inequality and inequity affects men and women in different ways. The problem I have with gender feminism isn't that's it focuses on addressing women's issues, it's the (I believe) misandrist paradigm they use to analyze gender related social problems. I have no problem with equity feminists because they don't subscribe to using the paradigm of the patriarchy to analyze gender related issues. Men's issues activist like Warren Farrell and Tim Goldich, don't have a misogynist…

I understand the original context of your question, but this is my reply... My first reply to you is a concise summary of why I think mainstream feminism leads to a lack of cultural empathy towards men. So my ultimate hope is that mainstream feminism converts to equity feminism. I personally try to debate feminists to influence the movement to replace gender feminism with equity feminism.

I occasionally feel like that rhetoric is guilt tripping the feminist movement. My intention is to point out the intellectual dishonesty and/or hypocrisy of feminists who claim that feminism is actively concerned about all gender issues. MRAs (I don't identify myself as one) are at least honest that their priorities lie with men's issues IME. Though some identify as both feminists and MRAs. My answer is a little all over the place, and not eloquent, sorry about that. No, that's fine.

1.They Listen. Dumb girls don't have opinions on things, at least not strong ones. They'll rarely argue, and if they do, they give up on it quickly. Why? Because they have no fucking clue what they're talking about and life has reminded them constantly that when they open their mouths they get made fun of. If life has not taught them this, you get to be the man who teaches them this lesson. I don't think you've been around enough 'dumb girls' or dumb people. They argue relentlessly and aggressiv…

The problem I've observed is that many feminists assert that feminism is about eliminating any and all gender related problems - not just women's. Like you said, that isn't there focus - however many feminists repeatedly try to convince men that they are actively concerned about non women's issues. Plus I think that the feminist meta-narrative is inherently misandrist ie. the empowered male/masculine is responsible for all gender related social problems. And no matter what gender the social issu…

I think this is great because it; a) It shows males are becoming more aware of men's issues. b) It's an admission that (mainstream) feminism only cares about women's issues. c) It drives self-respecting male feminists away from feminism. (I hope they read or listen to some Warren Farrell and Tom Goldich as a consequence.)

That is the consisent message I get from feminists. In every gender related social issue women are framed as either the direct or indirect victims. Eg. Men are shamed when they show vulnerability because it's considered feminine, and there is a cultural hatred for the female. I think the reason why feminism is so popular is because it's the only paradigm that has been routinely used to analyze gender problems. So I think we need to focus on promoting an equalist paradigm to analyze issues like t…

It's not "The US" it's a wealthy part of the US. I thought my understanding of that was implicit in my reference to the 'reality show' featuring upper class women.

It's frustrating to see that this is the majority opinion amongst these parts, because not having children is the evolutionary equivalent of rolling over and dying a quiet death in the ditch somewhere. This no-marriage-no-kids thing is a nihilistic abdication of responsiblity. I don't let the theory of evolution dictate my ethics. Evolution explains speciation, but I don't use it as a model on which to base my life.

In May 2010, after his dog Daddy died in February and his wife filed for divorce in March, Millan attempted suicide. My heart broke for the guy. I was in a similar situation... Lost my job July 2012, August 2012 wife asked for divorce. Don't get married guys, you can have a LTR without having a legally binding contract!

Yeah I think your perspective is due to your location. When I watch 'real housewives' shows in the US I'm shocked how good women in their 40's can look. In the UK where I live, I assure you women in that age bracket don't look anywhere near that good.

This woman isn't a feminist as we know them, she clearly believes in gender roles. Stick her somewhere in the middle east and she's a feminist, but not in the first world. She's a 'darwinist' feminist.

If we are talking about social issues, I think feeling are a crucial part of that. Like David Hume showed ethics (and subsequently politics) is based on sentiment not logic - and egalitarianism seems to be based on the sentiment of empathy and common humanity. So in order to elicit people to value egalitarianism we have to appeal to people's sense of empathy - which means expressing our needs and emotions. But just so we're clear, empathy is different from sympathy. Striving to have our needs an…

The patriarchy is an unfalsifiable philosophical theory - based on the non-positivism approach to sociology. So I agree that everything can be framed as originating from the patriarchy. However it's just a representation of reality, it's not the 'objective truth'. And I think it's a theory that leads to victim blaming men, and the marginalization of issues affecting men - like others have pointed out. I don't think that feminist theory is the only lens through which to examine gender related soc…

Thanks for your understanding. You're welcome. I hope you had an enjoyable xmas. Maybe reframing power this common way can help us understand our perspectives: men have greater ACCESS to power in society than woman (we're mostly talking about white people). I think reframing it as men have easier access to institutional power is much clearer. Thank you. And it doesn't dismiss that although the majority of the socio-economic 'elite' are men, the majority of men are not part of the socio-economic …

The issue when it comes to benevolent sexism is one of power. Have you taken courses on power, read philosophers on social power, taken sociology or political science? I haven't taken courses, I'm a laymen. I'll be honest too I'm skeptical of all ideologies, they all inherently have biases. And IME they all describe the power structure differently, it just depends on what convinces the individual. I don't think any ideology is objectively true (but that would take the conversation on a philosoph…

(Thanks for your responses. I normally have heated arguments with feminists - I do bring it on myself tbh - so this is a welcome change. We both seem to want to express our perspectives, and learn from one another.) Touching back on my problem with the way feminists apply the concept of benevolent sexism... Feminists assert that the patriarchy was/is contributed to by men and women. Yet they still explain advantages women have based on gender as benevolent sexism, but advantages men have as male…

(First wanted to say that I'm not an MRA, but I have become increasingly concerned about men's issues) I think rape is without doubt one of the most traumatic things a person can go through. My point isn't to trivialize the effects of rape but to point out that men are assaulted, assaulted with weapons, violently mugged, and murdered more often than women statistically. Often in public. (I routinely saw that when I went out to nightclubs. I've been assaulted in public, and I've know many friends…

Firstly thanks for your post. I disagree with the concept of male privilege (I have to go so I can't explain in more depth), but I like your attempt at diplomacy. And thank you for sharing your experiences of transitioning. Have you read lesbian Norah Vincent's book about being disguising herself as a man for 18 months? By the end of the experience she no longer believed in male privilege, and says she prefers life as a woman. (She also said she began to dislike women, because of they treated he…

It's easier said than done because it's dismissing the premise that men and women can't help what they are attracted to, which is one of the basic foundations of the red pill. I disagree with that foundation tbh. Attraction can change and can develop. I don't think attraction is purely genetic. I've met a number of women who I wasn't initially attracted to but after spending time with them, I've developed attraction. I know I'm not alone it that experience.

I'm from the UK, so it might not apply to your culture, but... If a woman gave me a compliment like you did, and it wasn't delivered in a lighthearted facetious tone, I'd think there was something 'off' about her. IME the social norm is; women don't sincerely compliment men who they don't know. IMO men often like it if a woman 'challenges' them in a playful way, eg. your tone is saying "think you're smart/strong/can please me sexually do you? Prove it." but in a playful way. I'm not sure what th…
