| 9 | Nobel Prize will NOT set gender quotas. The Nobel Prize committee have discussed the prospect of giving more prizes to women based on their gender, but decided against it for the time being.Why would they? The lead time for Nobel worthy work is at least two decades. If more women did Nobel worthy work (often super boring), then they would’ve already spent years making peanuts to do it. Let’s also remember that some branches of science are already dominated by women, so we should expect to see more nobles for women come out of those as more discoveries pop up. | /r/MensRights | 12/10/21 11:52 PM |

| 5 | How some men are feminist?I support feminism that aims to equalize opportunities for both genders. Women have issues we don’t, and we have issues they don’t. It’s important to understand that it’s ok to pick an issue and throw support behind it if we think it’s worth fighting for. But it’s also important to pick and choose which issues we don’t get involved in because being a part of any moment isn’t an all in endeavor. Also, I don’t agree with some of the stuff that’s posted on here and that doesn’t make me any less of … | /r/MensRights | 28/09/21 12:06 PM |

| 1 | Taken from AITAThough he shouldn’t give the money, he should at least try to have a relationship with them even if it’s one with a ton of firm boundaries he spells our right from the start. Kids don’t really have the option to make choices, and a lot of them realize that they were fed BS growing up, so he should give them the chance to have their dad in their lives. | /r/MensRights | 16/09/21 11:42 AM |

What should the consequences be?The research says that teens don’t make great decisions in high states of emotional arousal the even though they’re capable of understand that their impulsive behavior is wrong when they are relaxed though. | /r/MensRights | 13/09/21 09:39 AM |
| 4 | Boy gropes girl at school. What should the consequences be?That’s where I’m at too: if we can reach kids that mess up, we have a chance to help them navigate life through the challenges that are thrown at them, and get them they help they need. That’s why I’m so against the courts and expulsion. Also, what that girl did was messed up. Sorry you went through that! Hope she learns that her attitude won’t get her far in life. | /r/MensRights | 12/09/21 05:33 PM |

I have adhd too btw.

What should the consequences be?Yeah, I was thinking a long suspension, mandatory counseling and paying for the girls psychologist would work instead of a criminal case because I think it’s important to keep kids like this in the system so they can get the help and support that they need.

I’m all for men’s rights, and I’m all for some of the self help stuff he does, but we can’t shake a fist at post modernism just because it lives in the establishment.

Not all of us can pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and work our way out of a bad situation right away, and society definitely isn’t doing us any favors. There’s also nothing wrong with living at home. It’s a pretty solid way to save cash and chill with the “roommates”.

We need to celebrate men instead of demonizing them.I think feeling bad about parts of ourselves and searching for solutions to that is popular now. We’ve been screwed, and we blame ourselves instead of the outside forces behind our problems. In truth, everyone has issues, so it’s really difficult to know what is us and what isn’t.

Outraged media demands government pay for women's health, housing, retirement, etc. (zero mention of single men's situation).My point is that Korean women shouldn’t have to marry to achieve a comfortable lifestyle. I’ve seen how women get treated in Korea first hand and it’s shocking: domestic violence on street corners(I’ve called the cops a number of times), men stocking women (happened to friends), lower pay, being forced out of the workforce when they marry, unrealistic beauty standards that determine their standing in society.

| -3 | Korea has explosive growth of single women in their 40's. Outraged media demands government pay for women's health, housing, retirement, etc. (zero mention of single men's situation).To be fair Korean women that aren’t married by 30, often don’t get married and spend their lives making quite a bit less than their male peers. Those that do get marred have to find stable men because chances are they’ll get forced out of the it jobs as soon as they get into baby making mode. Korea is about 50 years behind the western world in terms of gender equality. It’s the one place I support feminists because their gripes are legitimate. | /r/MensRights | 07/03/21 11:17 AM |

The girls complained that is was Sexist, and Within 2 hours they changed the sign on one door to female only, and left the other one gender neutral. We now have 2 girls restrooms, one boys and one gender neutral restroom.They’re just covering their asses if someone decides to take issue with it in the media. Men complaining is a lot cheaper than going into full PR lawyer mode unfortunately. Fortunately, all this crap does is create a generation me of boys angry enough to speak out. | /r/MensRights | 15/02/21 09:43 AM |

This leads to sexlessness in the young professional demographic because most guys don’t have a social and economic status beyond most of the dating pool.

The emphasis on group learning (Kegan) doesn’t work for boys because they like to divide and conquer. 2. The shift towards emotional awareness starting in primary school doesn’t really consider our brains . 3.

There’s a whole body of feminist research on the “gendering” of academic writing. Which, I think, has led to an emphasis on feminine pronoun usage, but it’s just flipping the narrative.

Sure an Asian wife will cook and clean, but she’ll also control your money, household and most of your assets. Then you’ll have to put up with her family which will be like a bad Korean soap opera.

What I mean by cautious optimism is that you should give guys a chance to be with you instead of assuming they are there to hurt you.

We place the blame squarely on women though they are a part of it. We can, however, investigate the structural mechanisms to reveal the root cause of many of the problems men face in the 21st century.

His reply was that he'd have to ask his girlfriend what his plans were. If the script was flipped, all hell would break loose. Are we that dependent on women to sort out our lives?

I travel a ton and I rarely see women solo even if they start that way. In fact, many have told me that they need a travel buddy to keep them safe.

It's like life stopped for them once they had a 30th birthday. Then there's the expectations. Having a relationship in your 30s becomes a list of, "I need to whens" instead of a, "Let's see where it goes" type of deal. This is my main gripe.

| 1 | Do you think men should be more intimate with each other and open up emotionally more?Yes and no, we don't need touchy emotional relationships, but we do need a masculine way to deal with our emotions together when stuff happens. It sucks to have a bunch of really terrible stuff happen and feel like the only solution is to keep your mouth shut and deal with it. So we need manly a way to tell each other so we can support each other. It doesn't have to be overly emotional, but it does have to become normal so it's safe to open up a bit. No man should ever have to suffer in silence. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/19 04:45 AM |
| 15 | [DISCUSSION] Dating as a guyI feel ya man. Don't worry if you're creeping them out. It's not intentional so you'll learn with experience. Women do have personalities. Just not the ones you're dating. Give the boring girls a hard pass. I've had a few excruciating dates too. Don't know how it's possible for people to not form personalities, but it is and it's painful to experience. I think the key is to be cool alone and build the confidence that goes with it. That way you'll focus on finding women that add value to your lif… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/07/19 01:00 PM |

| 8 | What do most men fail to understand about women?That women are just as human as we are. Sure they make everything hard to understand because of they way they communicate, but, when their guard comes down, they're way more like us than most guys would think. The problem is they put on a good show because they need to be wanted. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/07/19 04:38 AM |

| 1 | Why are there so many posts regarding stuff feminists say or do?Sure women have take license to dominate the discussion and marginalize men. I've even heard that many of my gay friends have stopped hanging out with women because it's that bad. But the only way to solve that issue is to make a list of problems, exclude them from the conversation and work toward solving them. We are men and women aren't so they cannot understand male problems. So I think our response to manspreading, the gender pay gap, etc should be, "That's not an issue". That way we can ref… | /r/MensRights | 22/07/19 08:18 AM |
| 1 | Why are there so many posts regarding stuff feminists say or do?That's what I mean by othering men. Since women are speaking for men and they aren't men, they cannot understand or speak for the male experience; thus feminists have marginalized maleness (Neo-Marxist I know) by overpowering social discourse. Ironically this argument is often used by feminists in the 3rd world when the same thing is done to them. I am of the mind that we need to define masculinity and actively campaign to smash the issues with it. Were men, men have issues, women cannot underst… | /r/MensRights | 21/07/19 06:23 PM |

| 1 | Can we discuss "men are more visually stimulated than woman"?Saw this and instantly thought, finally. Women aren't that much different than men in terms of what images they get turned on by, but being physically aroused and being mentally aroused are two different things. Same goes for us though; just because we're aroused doesn't mean we want sex. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 16/07/19 01:41 PM |

| 1 | Red pill fear mongering is just as bad as feminist fear mongering and counter productiveI'm referring to the red pill logic in my post. While I totally agree that we don't need women to function, we should all pitch in to do something about it instead of calling each other chads, betas, etc. Let's not let this neo-marxist idea of the more vs the lesser distract us from the key agenda; working towards constructive solutions for big problems. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/06/19 04:08 PM |
| 2 | Red pill fear mongering is just as bad as feminist fear mongering and counter productiveMost of this stuff has no basis in empirical reality. What the movement has done is create a black and white image of maleness that's us vs them. Sure we have to conduct ourselves in a particular way to be successful in life, but that doesn't mean the red ideology aptly deals with the issues at hand. We should stop typecasting the male experience and focus on smashing the issues we all face together. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/06/19 08:59 AM |

| 1 | Why "alpha male" are the real problemYour argument doesn't hold weight because alpha males don't exist. Men that have personalities and an appearance that attracts women do.

| 2 | Anxiety is rising in youth, but it isn’t just anxietyJust saw an article about how the rise of perfectionism is driving the exponential rise in mental illness in western cultures. I think technological advancements over the past 20 years have made people hyper image conscious leading to a decline in risk taking. Combine this with demanding work schedules, increased isolation and an overwhelming barrage of information and the result is less drinking, sex and general risk taking.

| 1 | Has anyone here completed the no friends -> lots of friends journey?The main thing is that making friends and getting women is all about the number of people you meet. Go out and put yourself in a space where you feel comfortable and have something to talk about. It doesn't have to be a meet up, or a structured social event. It just has to be something that's out in the social sphere. For meeting dudes, it's all about common activities. For women, it's all about your ability to entertain and maintain a conversation which takes practice. If you're super shy, like… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/04/19 06:38 AM |
| 4 | Iranian women's right activist condemns Western feministsThis has been going on for a long time. Check the post modern critique of feminism. This is a good example: http://www2.kobe-u.ac.jp/~alexroni/IPD%202015%20readings/IPD%202015_5/under-western-eyes.pdf The men's movement could really benefit from the the same theoretical framework. Because, if (western) women speak on behalf of men, they are othering the male experience. So, perhaps, if we utilize the same frame, we could make headway on both fronts.

| 6 | I am currently doing an assignment for school which is to write a speech on controversial social questions and could use some help.The data suggests that women stay out of the workforce for extended periods of time leading to less experience and lower wages. Women, generally, have gone into occupations that pay less than male dominated occupations like care work. The normative male gender role is to provide financial support for a family. Thus, we gain our status from occupying jobs that women don’t because they don’t have to. Similar to point two I know. Women are, on the whole, better educated than men.
