| 2 | Does a Woman Have Any Responsibility at all to Protect Herself Against Sexual Assault?It's true that inviting someone back to her place and then not wanting to have sex might be misleading and socially awkward. It's also true that women (and men) have a right to do this, or they may have changed their minds after inviting the other person - obviously they aren't obligated to have sex with this person though, if that's what you mean by "consequences." | /r/PurplePillDebate | 01/09/16 10:05 AM |
| 1 | Taboo topic time: the day we realized *our own mothers* were essentially hypergamous by nature.That's true, but just because you're "ignoring" them doesn't mean they aren't affecting your behavior, if anything they might affect you more | /r/TheRedPill | 15/07/16 10:38 PM |
| 2 | Taboo topic time: the day we realized *our own mothers* were essentially hypergamous by nature.It's not about ignoring them, it's the opposite: you're supposed to be aware of those thoughts so that you can understand how they affect you and change them when it's important | /r/TheRedPill | 15/07/16 09:31 PM |

| 9 | Found my husband's red pill readings- how do I build trust again?It wouldn't shock me if he deliberately left the chat open. I think its pretty clear from your other posts that he was 'dread gaming' you - he probably wanted you to see. Especially since now you feel bad for doing so, so catching him being a manipulative asshole still ends up with you feeling guilty when he's the one doing the wrong thing. | /r/ExRedPill | 12/04/16 01:53 AM |
| 1 | Do what he says.What I think you mean to say is "I don't have a response to the really rational point you just made." Regardless, although I know you guys aren't really fans of people questioning your views, I guess I'm just genuinely trying to understand how you could possibly prefer that situation. Like I said, there are probably situations where you're more capable of making a decision than your husband is. Doesn't having your autonomy restricted like this bother you at all? | /r/RedPillWomen | 31/03/16 01:39 AM |
| 2 | Do what he says.Can there really only be only one captain though? Surely there are some domains in which you are more knowledgable and better at making decisions than he is. A functional team can work a little better than unilateral leadership when responsibilities and decisions are distributed to those who are most capable of making them. I fail to see how your husband being male somehow endows him with superior decision making in every domain. | /r/RedPillWomen | 31/03/16 01:28 AM |

| 9 | Is it wrong to call rape and sexual assault victims "survivors"?Almost everyone in this thread is a total moron. The word survivor has multiple meanings, one of them is to persist after experiencing trauma or hardship in life. It doesn't require that those hardships necessarily be potentially lethal. It's pretty reasonable to consider rape a traumatic experience in life. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/survivor | /r/PurplePillDebate | 11/03/16 02:12 AM |

| 3 | Post a picture of what you consider to be an "average" and "hot" person of the gender you are attracted to.Perhaps it would yield different results if people specified whether they would date the person they listed. Women (in general) seem like they tend to value attractiveness less than men do when selecting partners, who so while there might be a higher threshold for what a woman considers attractive, that doesn't mean that its hopeless for the average guy. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/10/15 09:56 PM |
| 1 | What goes through a modern woman's head when you approach her casually in public?Even if I were interested though, it doesn't change the fact that it would be difficult to end the interaction if weren't - that just makes it naturally uncomfortable. I don't understand why you think it's so important to approach women while running errands instead of just doing so in situations where everyone involved is participating in a certain activity because they're interested in socializing. | /r/askTRP | 18/10/15 03:25 PM |
| 1 | What goes through a modern woman's head when you approach her casually in public?It's more than that though. It's this obnoxious in between state where I know the guy is likely interested in something else, but I can't say anything without looking arrogant. I've talked about this with several different groups of my female friends, and all of us agree that it sucks to be put in that position | /r/askTRP | 18/10/15 12:39 PM |
| 0 | What goes through a modern woman's head when you approach her casually in public?Thank you. Honestly I don't really date or hook up, I just don't have time or a compelling interest. In that way, my perspective might differ from the average woman. I do understand your dilemma though - I think I would feel the same anxiety even if were interested in dating or sex, so I can understand how it might be unclear how men are ever supposed to approach women. Perhaps this 'casual' approach could be improved if it were a more clear social setting. Bars and clubs might be an example, bu… | /r/askTRP | 17/10/15 11:25 PM |
| 2 | What goes through a modern woman's head when you approach her casually in public?I think I'm going to regret this, but on the off chance you actually want a woman's perspective about what a woman's subjective experience is like, I'm going to go ahead and chip in. Honestly I usually feel mildly anxious when men "casually approach" me in public. I feel this way both when they are attractive or unattractive. I feel anxious because it's very difficult to read the situation.

| 1 | Why do you get mad at Red Pill Men but not Red Pill Women?The fact that the third one is a joke is the whole problem. For the first two, it's more than just a relationship style that I myself am not particularly interested in. They involve a relationship dynamic which inherently classifies the woman's judgment and autonomy as inferior and less important. It certainly supports my claims about lacking autonomy and internalized inferiority - perhaps you're trying to attack the idea that those are bad things? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/15 09:01 PM |

| 3 | Why do you get mad at Red Pill Men but not Red Pill Women?Do you think that physical strength should be the metric to determine a person's value? Few are denying that are generally stronger than women, most people on my side of this argument just see it as irrelevant. As for intelligence, you might be able to find a couple of studies showing men have a marginally higher average intelligence. However that average says nothing about the specific individuals you interact with (to believe otherwise would be a 'population fallacy'). That means that gender i… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/09/15 12:51 PM |

| 2 | Why do you get mad at Red Pill Men but not Red Pill Women?Red pill women seem like they've completely interalized the red pill idea that they're inferior. A lot of the women on r/redpillwomen seem like they're in an abusive relationship that they think they deserve or is somehow permissible. Many of them seem to define themselves by their significant other. It tends to make me frustrated with the situation, but I feel pity rather than anger for those women because I see them as victims. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 23/09/15 12:08 PM |

There seems to be less societal pressure for men to be ridiculously thin like there is with female models (in fact, a lot of men seem like they're self conscious of being too thin). Is it about control perhaps? Or something else, just genuinely curious. | /r/MensRights | 02/07/15 01:57 AM |
| 9 | My local Police station just posted this on their facebook page :)Neither do I. I'm a woman and it makes perfect sense to me.

| 2 | Why should women get educated at all ?Most traditionally male jobs will likely be automated before traditionally female ones. Namely, construction, factory work, manufacturing, etc. Meanwhile teaching and nursing are on the rise in terms of demand, and are unlikely to automated in the near feature because of the emphasis on personal touch and the fact that it usually requires a good amount of judgment and ability to adapt to unforeseeable circumstances. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/15 07:58 PM |
| 2 | Why should women get educated at all ?Yeah, I'd like to see a source on that. Also, if the issue is too large of a labor force and we somehow need to make categorical exclusions, why do it based on gender? Half of all geniuses are female, why exclude them? It would be wiser to exclude on the basis of intelligence or aptitude if we're truly trying to create discriminatory working market. But really, do you actually believe that's necessary? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/15 07:54 PM |
| 2 | Why should women get educated at all ?How? Losing half our labor force (and intelligent minds) and a skyrocketing birthrate would be catastrophic. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/15 03:38 AM |

| 2 | "When the Rapist Doesn't See It as Rape"Yes, I have. You have to read between the lines with studies like this in my experience, not just read what sounds nice and what they say they're going to try to do. Firstly, a sample size of just over 100 for a study like this is pretty damning even without consideration of anything else in the study. But the methodology is also at least suspicious.

| 8 | "When the Rapist Doesn't See It as Rape"Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I actually understated it by listing the .76%. Its the original commenter who fails at math, and I failed to check theirs. The study (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rsavcaf9513.pdf ) that I looked up just for the sake of reference and verification when I originally commented says 76 in 1000 (pretty common for epidemiological studies). So now we're at 7.6%. Per year. ouch. I know these words will be ignored here, but that's actually a really bad rape problem. | /r/TheRedPill | 26/05/15 05:35 AM |
| 13 | "When the Rapist Doesn't See It as Rape"Have you actually read the Kanin study? He investigated one small town (total of 109 complaints during that 9 year period) and his metrics were pretty lousy - he used whatever the police determined to be a false accusation (without need for articulating a justification) and counted women who simply recanted their statements. Women could have recanted for a variety of reasons, such as sheer intimidation from police (particularly offering a polygraph test) but that doesn't mean that they were lyin… | /r/TheRedPill | 26/05/15 04:32 AM |

| -1 | Always with the double standards.Actually there's pretty well documented evidence that men seem to care more about physical attractiveness than women do. Women tend to be attracted to traits like funniness, intelligence, etc. as a substitute for atttactiveness, whereas men tend to see those things as add ons but don't care if she isn't already attractive.

I think social behavior is at least somewhat mutable, so while humans have historically had things like gender roles, I don't think they are completely permanent aspects of our society. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/12/14 12:33 AM |

| 0 | Red pillers: What is your religious affiliation?Sure, but most of those ideas are heavily associated with religion - (most) atheists tend to be more (modern IMO) accepting of alternative views. TRP heavily mirrors Christian (or many other religious denominations) values. The reason I believe that most atheists don't really think that way is because many of those values don't make sense in a modern context. Virginity made sense when there wasn't birth control.

There's a pretty substantial trend towards a 'feminine figure' with a certain 'hip to waist' ratio and larger breasts. Just because a few random corners of the internet have "BBW" fetishes doesn't mean that there isn't a general societal trend towards a very specific body type.

I'm inclined to pick no shaming either way - I don't really think physical attraction is very easy to consciously control so its pretty unreasonable to judge people's preferences in that regard.

I can't really control it though, which is why I tend to be more lenient and avoid judging others for their preferences in physical attractiveness.

| 16 | Is drunken sex rape?I don't think its inherently rape, but I think it can be. If a person is so intoxicated that he or she literally cannot consent (because they don't even comprehend the situation, don't have the muscle coordination to display discomfort/unwillingness, or can't even talk effectively enough to communicate consent or lack thereof) and another person is relatively sober or buzzed, I think that the sober(ish) person is a rapist. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 13/12/14 08:59 PM |
