This is something I've been seeing crop up every now and then and have been thinking about for quite some time. I spoke about it to a female acquaintance a while ago, and this conversation brought it back up.

Women of PurplePillDebate who believe TRP and/or other man'o'sphere groups (PUA, MGTOW, MRA) promote misogyny, hate, aim to turn the genders against each other, and generally further the gender divide, I have several questions and points of discussion.

  1. Why do you feel these misogynist groups have boomed recently? (When I first found TRP, they only had 12,000. Now over 100K)

  2. Why should men respect women in general? Why shouldn't men react to the state of the SMP with anger and/or misogyny?

  3. Why do you think these groups are aiming directly, or indirectly to turn men against women?

  4. Why do you think men generally wouldn't or shouldn't react with anger or hatred towards females after realizing things about female nature? Ie. hypergamy, AF+BB are pretty insulting concepts regardless of whether we accept they are "natural".

  5. If you do agree these groups promote gender hatred/gender war, how would you go about helping the situation or fixing it?

Personally, as I stated to /u/HappilySingleWoman, groups like TRP may be turning men against women, but I think the existence of TRP is a sign many men already feel this way about women or the SMP and simply can't talk about this stuff in their daily lives for obvious reasons.

The answers I've heard from women I'm spoken to are "I don't know/I don't have an answer" and "because we're people", which are not very convincing or discussion-worthy to men who have been taught to view your gender as garbage regardless of your "person" status.

I find this question and how so many women I've talked to are unable to provide an answer totally fascinating. If someone told me they hate me, I could come with with quite a few reasons why I'm not someone worthy of hatred...
