2	One troll down... There is no easy collective solution in my opinion. I think places like this are a good start. If people conduct themselves with the ability to step into their perceived enemy's shoes in an effort to come to a sensible agreement on a topic, more can be done to fix these problems. I think it takes an individual willingness to do this. However, people really do need to take themselves out of the "us vs. them" mentality that can easily dominate these spaces to do so, which can be very difficult.

1	One troll down... I agree this post was misguided. See my original comment in this thread. However, I think it is important to address your comment as well. This person does not speak for me. Because moderates are generally averse to these types of communities, I feel compelled to post a more moderate viewpoint. These are important discussions, and I am part of a demographic that rarely wishes to engage in these discussions.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/16 07:05 AM
3	One troll down... I think you should read my comment directly responding to the OP. I do call out behavior I don't agree with, even if I can ascertain that I agree with them on larger issues.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/16 06:47 AM
3	One troll down... Yes I do. I also believe we experience these gendered paradigms on a fluid basis. Please don't corner me in based on the vocabulary I'm using either. I'm new to these discussions, so I work with the vocabulary I have right now while also realizing this vocabulary often seems loaded given the broader discussion. But to provide an example: a man I consider a friend who often told me I was too masculine to be desired by any man I'd be attracted to did break down in front of me. It just happened.

3	One troll down... It doesn't prove anything about women. You are generalizing here. It does prove something about our culture, and the currency of outrage we promote, which in turn devalues true discussion on important issues. I'm not demonizing you either, nor am I demonizing the OP. Just trying to offer a perspective I really wish I saw more of.	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/16 06:29 AM
6	One troll down... You would probably call me an SJW. I most likely disagree with you on most issues related to race, gender, whatever. But if it counts at all, I do believe that it's wrong to send death threats to anyone, regardless of how much I disagree with them on political or cultural issues. I can't speak for everyone of course, and I'm very disturbed by the radicalized nature of these discussions. But I also feel moderate people just aren't speaking up enough right now. I'm solution and goal oriented, so t…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/16 06:17 AM
5	One troll down... Hey, we probably agree with each other on most things. I actually find TRP to be very disturbing for reducing women to stereotypes. I am a woman, and I value free expression in general as well as respect for each other as human beings. I don't think your post is very helpful. I've experienced rape, stalking, and threats from men. These are terrible experiences and I have great empathy for people who experience this too. But I am also solution oriented. Our society desperately needs more nuanced …	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/16 06:10 AM
4	What emotions do women feel? These are general statements, but think that hardcore feminists often do lack empathy. I also think that TRP people who subscribe to the beliefs you are describing also generally lack empathy. This is not an issue confined to one gender or another, I believe it is a societal issue that has many nuanced causes. For various reasons, we live in a very politically and culturally polarizing society. Any extreme ideology often discourages empathy for the perceived enemy of their ideology. This is thro…	/r/PurplePillDebate	08/08/16 04:34 AM
