| 14 | Q4W: Why do you think toxic masculinity is a thing, but toxic femininity isn't a thing?Because anything that could be considered toxic femininity is typically blamed on society as a whole whereas toxic masculinity is widely portrayed as being held up by men. Hypoagency, obsession with physical looks, over-emotionality, "queen bee" syndrome, etc tend to all be considered problems caused by society (i.e. "we are told as women that...") as opposed to femininity problems Its just another blatant double standard imo | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/10/18 04:05 AM |
| 1 | Confused: Right to sex vs tax-funded birth controlThis argument in it's various forms is very common but doesn't hold much water when you consider that BC is used for so, so much more than just contraception. Dysmenorrhea, PCOS, anovulatory cycles, menorrhagia, etc But even beyond that critical fact, your argument is basically "why should people not involved in an activity (incels) pay for the decisions of others (people having sex)." The answer is the same as why we pay for smokers to get lung cancer treatment, obese people to get the help nee… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/08/18 12:28 AM |
| 2 | New Study Finds that US is one of the "worst" countries for women. ThoughtsDoes it really make sense to you that in discussing the safety of women in an entire country that getting punched ('nonsexual violence") is weighed more heavily than forced prostitution, human trafficking, health care, discrimination, or damage from cultural practices??? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/07/18 03:45 AM |
| 2 | Why do so many women oppose feminism?I think you've inadvertently highlighted the exact sentiment most "anti-feminists" have. You know how at the beginning of your post you talked about how sick and tired you are of being thrown in with the batshit crazy feminists? That is exactly how the vast majority of men feel when you lump the rapists and lewd cat-callers with the rest of us. So maybe it's not so much an issue with "toxic masculinity" or "the male gaze" or whatever bullshit term is in vogue these days, maybe it's just feminist… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/10/16 09:33 PM |
| 4 | Q4RP: How would you want marital assets to be split during divorce?Here's the fundamental problem I have with what you're saying. You have alluded to, several times in your post, that the lower earning partner contributes equally to the marriage in non-financial ways. If we assume that is true then why are ONLY financial contributions split up at the time of divorce? If the lower earning partner has "earned" a share of the financial assets, hasn't the other spouse also "earned" a share of the non-financial assets? Why is it that only $$$ carries forward? Fundam… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/06/16 07:02 PM |
| 6 | CMV: despite the popular notion of "don't workout/lift for girls, do it for yourself", most do it because it will make them more attractive to womenWhat you're saying isn't false but it isn't completely true. The guys who hit the gym solely/predominantly to get chicks don't last very long. It's hard dragging yourself to the gym day after day for slow grinding gains just for the approval of others. If you take a sample of men who obviously look like they go to the gym a lot I bet the vast majority of them have stronger motivations than the attention of women. The best parallel for this is women doing whatever it is they do when getting ready… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/04/16 06:32 PM |
| 6 | Q4RP: If you say you aren't a feminist what exactly do you mean?When I say that I am not a feminist it means I fundamentally disagree with several major, modern tenets of feminism as seen in the western world. It certainly does not mean any of those things you've written in your OP. It means I believe: There is no 'patriarchy' Women are not systemically oppressed Women have privilege. Feminism is fundamentally an advocacy group for women. Feminism is the dominant gender framework in the western world Given these 5 points I cannot be a feminist by any reasona… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/04/16 08:53 PM |
| 2 | Mandatory Paternity testing at birthI'm torn about this issue. On the one hand I fundamentally oppose a system where a non-trivial number men get duped into raising children that aren't theirs, without their knowledge. On the other hand this is clearly government overreach and would never past constitutional muster. There is a middle ground, however. Require that paternity testing be done in order for the father to be legally declared the father. No one is forced into anything but if you forego the verification of paternity you wo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/04/16 06:46 PM |
| 6 | Cmv: guys who care about women who previously rode the cock carousel (not to an extreme amount but a typical amount) are highly insecureWhy do women care what a guy does for a living? Its the best analogy I can think of because most women will say "I dont care as long as he isnt a [low status job] and that he can pull his own weight." The latter part of that is code for "makes as much or more than me". Great! Most men dont care about your n-count beyond not being gangbanged by the football team and not having a higher count than him. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/04/16 04:27 AM |
| 7 | Slut shaming is immoral and equivalent to racism/homophobiaYour argument seems assumes that using any word that denotes promiscuity is inherently shaming Tell me, from a purely descriptive pov, what can I call women who fucks a lot that ISNT "shaming" them? Loose? Fast? Whore? Slut? The assumption of your argument seems to be that describing a woman who sleeps around a lot is the same as shaming. I fundamentally disagree | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/04/16 04:09 AM |
| 1 | If Abortion Were Illegal, Would You Favor The Child Support System With No Option for Paternal Surrender?She can't unilaterally put it up for adoption and neither can he. You're wrong [1] [2] | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/16 07:26 PM |
| 2 | Question for both pills: What's something about your own pill that makes you question its validity?Lean pretty red. I find TRPs obsession with n-counts to be a bit much. TRP falls for the apex fallacy just as hard as women do. This whole SAHW/SAHM fantasy is utter bullshit. This is why divorce-rape is a thing. Business/entrepreneurship circlejerk. Rampant racism played off as just "telling it like it is". The idea that women can't STEM also played off as "telling it like it is". The conspiracy/tinfoil hat shit. Obsession with SE Asia. Idealizing the plate set-up as superior to all other relat… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/03/16 03:50 PM |
| 2 | Question for RP: Why do men use violent terms to describe sex?As with most things it's most likely a combination of several factors. This is by no means a comprehensive list (1) Men have several times more testosterone than women and testosterone makes people more aggressive. I don't think there's a lot of debate here (2) When groups of people get together they tend to take more extreme views/stances. This is called group polarization and is a well-documented phenomenon in psychology. There's no reason to suggest that this would not extend to language as w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/03/16 05:17 PM |
| 1 | Could you ever LTR the opposite pill?can I ask if you believe you've changed demonstrably in the time frame that your husband has? In what ways? What was the time frame of your husband's shift to MRP in relation to the birth of your children? Perhaps becoming a father is part of the impetus for his unexpected shift. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 09/03/16 06:14 PM |
| 2 | Q4RP: Should women prioritize sex?Young people usually have fun in their early and mid twenties You're not wrong, but you have to take this farther to at least see where TRP is coming from (regardless if you agree or disagree). Having fun in this situation literally means fucking the hottest people you can without regards to other more long-term characteristics that partner may have. For women this is fucking the hot barista, bad-boy drug dealer, frat-boy or whoever (often called Chad). For men it's sluts--or the hottest girls w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 08/03/16 04:13 AM |
| 4 | Earnings. Hypergamy in action?Setting that aside, I do not think it's at all unrealistic to say that a majority of men have a preference in breast size, and that plenty of them would care enough that a non-preferred breast size would be a deal-breaker. I don't know whether a full 60% would consider it a deal-breaker, but someone else mentioned that this app is a "high end" dating app anyway, which likely leads to higher number than the general population. I think you are grossly overestimating this. I truly believe it would … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 07/03/16 05:27 PM |
| 1 | Is one of the major issues with gender politics selective exposure?You're welcome Happy to discuss with you after you're satisfied with your research! I've considered making posts before, I just tend to prefer one-on-one conversations but I'll consider it again. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/16 05:58 PM |
| 2 | Is one of the major issues with gender politics selective exposure?You are always so polite and cordial in your responses. I really appreciate it even if I can be snarky sometimes. I do not see the deductive reasoning in the argument, can you explain? I think much of the theoretical underpinnings of modern feminism are based on the assumption that women know men's experience (as a class). Otherwise it's impossible to suggest in any meaningful way that women have it worse than men. Especially in scenarios where there is subtle biases that may or may not be respo… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/16 05:19 PM |
| 4 | Is one of the major issues with gender politics selective exposure?Feminists believe that they can accurately gauge the magnitude/severity of personal struggles between genders, but men cannot. Which begs the question: why is it that women can know the experiences/'privileges' that men have but men cannot understand the experiences/'oppression' of women? The answer is, as always, because feminists say so! It's something called "epistemic privilege" that comes from standpoint theory and literally says that the oppressed can understand the oppressor but not the o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/16 04:36 PM |
| 12 | CMV: A lot of the problems that TRP sees in society and blames feminism for are actually more caused by outdated gender roles.In a divorce court, it's mostly procedural who gets alimony and how finances are split. You are deluding yourself. Try as you might to make alimony appear as a procedural non-discriminatory verdict but the data do not back up that claim. About 1 in 4 married women outearn their husbands. If alimony was mostly procedural and truly gender-neutral then we would expect alimony awards to approximately mimic this figure. What do we find? 97% of alimony is awarded to women (sorry for HuffPo link but th… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 03/03/16 03:07 AM |
| 5 | The Price Had Better Be Right: Women’s Reactions to Sexual Stimuli Vary With Market FactorsDoes this study basically confirm the theory that women are whores and golddiggers? Of course not, but it does support the idea that people may have implicit, vested interests that may be based on their demographics. It's fairly clear that sex & childbearing/rearing are the vested interests of women as a group. This is a very simple explanation for all the "being a mom is the hardest job in the world" sentiment you see bandied around. Women, as a group, have a lot to gain from these two things b… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 17/02/16 06:51 PM |
| 9 | "Enjoy the decline"...what decline?How is that unfair? Marrying someone does not entitle you to a lifetime of the same standard of living as your spouse. If that were the case then the spouse who contributed equally to the marriage, but in non tangible ways. should have to continue contributing in these non-tangible ways to the breadwinning spouse after divorce so the breadwinner does not "suffer a much lower standard of living". You cannot apply logic in one way and not the other. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/02/16 04:39 PM |
| 3 | Do any Red Pillers have logical arguments for TRP ideas?I like this game. Will do my absolute best to be as objective as possible "Divorce laws are biased against men" situation: no children, uneven income p1: marriage is legally treated as a 50/50 partnership p2.1: married men likely make more than their spouses p2.2: women are still more likely to do housework / unpaid labor in the household p3: there is no way to quantify "non-financial" contributions p4: the state has a vested interest in ensuring people don't end up on welfare / public assistanc… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/08/15 04:54 PM |
| 2 | Non-RPnessInteresting question. Let's be over-simplify a bit and say on the political axis there are two opposing sides--freedom & equality. If you think of the political spectrum as just liberals and conservatives (i.e. 1D) then you might get liberals on the equality side and conservatives on the freedom side. However, eventually you realize that doesn't really provide enough discrimination so you add another axis (social vs. economic). This gives you the 2D model that you mentioned something like this I… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/15 07:04 PM |
| 3 | Red & Blue Pillers: Is feminism "equal rights and equal treatment under the law", or is it something else?There are men in positions of power who can certainly deal with men's issues. Feminism started because women were routinely denied such positions. If those who care most about the legitimate plights of men would stop concentrating on bullshit non-issues like the legalization of bastardom, maybe real issues like the higher male suicide rate could actually be addressed. So...men deal with male issues and women deal with women's issues and ne'er the two shall meet? That's silly seeing how so much o… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 10/02/15 10:00 PM |
| 1 | The lack of language comprehension in TRP.Not a TRPer myself but I just fundamentally don't agree with what you're saying. You mention near the end of your post that your English isn't the best so I'll try to be nice. Words are often used for effect in addition to their meaning. Let's look at an example. I'm sure you remember #YesAllWomen. Odd. Does this twitter hashtag literally mean that every single woman on the planet has been sexually harassed? Every. Single. One.? Because, by your own definition "All does not mean 'some', 'most', … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 12/01/15 08:13 PM |
| 10 | Would it be fair to say TRP attracts mostly the frustrated, inexperienced, bitter people? Does TRP get more flak than it deserves due to its community?I think the answer to both your questions is yes. TRP resonates with (primarily) young men because, as a group, they never learned how to handle themselves in getting/keeping a relationship. One of the main ideological tenets of TRP is that there has been a societal smokescreen regarding what women find attractive and this has been conflated with what makes a good long-term mate. These are not necessarily the same thing. Ergo, men who are frustrated, inexperienced, or bitter stumble on TRP and i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 05/12/14 04:13 PM |
| 1 | Ectogenesis, artificial wombs and 2034: I'm curious what both red and blue pill people think the effects of this will be.It is very close to 100%. The full paper that /u/Jacksambuck posted that said "most" can be found here under "Statistics on adoption in the United States": http://futureofchildren.org/publications/journals/journal_details/index.xml?journalid=66 That paper itself cites another paper, a review article on other papers. Groze, V. Adoption and single parents: A review. Child Welfare (May/June, 1991) 70,3:321-32. In that review paper, they report 5 studies that looked at gender of adoptive parents.
