As we all know, TRP is bitter medicine. Many men resist, and women see it as toxic.

Reading a recent exchange between veggie_girl and an outraged female, it struck me that this other woman was far more concerned about the social and emotional acceptance of words as opposed to truth and validity.

Women (and Beta males) prefer pretty lies to potentially toxic truths. They will conceal and dress up the truth to make it more attractive and tasteful. They will sacrifice truth to maintain social and emotional balance. Men see that as deceptive and untrustworthy.

Men will expose and strip the truth down to the point of naked and unappealing. Women see that as ungraceful, indiscreet and untrustworthy. A reckless truth-teller is toxic and threatening within a social environment.

What's interesting is the backlash a man gets when he crosses the line of acceptable behavior, including indiscriminate truth-telling. A woman (or white knight beta) will grant themselves a free ticket to be toxic and will rain an unbridled shit-storm down upon the guy that's far nastier than anything he said or did.

As hypocritical as such vengeance appears, it makes sense from tribal dynamics. The trouble-maker is mercilessly beaten and cast out to starve alone.
