Recently a PPD user replied to a comment I made about partner count. He/She said:
Sleeping around and being immodest isn't wrong, though. Holding a sexist double standard is.
I replied:
I remember when I was in the Marine Corps, women would be granted a handicap in physical fitness training. They were given a few minutes extra to run and didn't have to do pull-ups. Do you think this sexist double standard is wrong?
If it's wrong, and we decided to do away with it, nearly all women in the Marines will become universally subordinate to men. Would that be ok? Or is it better to have a sexist double standard? Are sexist double standards ever justifiable?
Of course no response.
Men have been dealing with "sexist double standards" for quite a while now. The difference is that they are institutionalized by the state. To that end, I've personally dealt with these double standards through divorce and my career.
I deviate from any normative perspective that claims that women "can't" do things that can be done by a man. I actually think that they can (in an objective sense). And that actually makes the situation worse.
It's worse because, double standards aren't imposed by what women could do or can do, they are based on what women do actually. Any woman that was dedicated to training, could meet the objective standards imposed on men in physical requirements. They don't have to because they choose not to.
Whenever I bring this up, in real life or to feminists online - i get non-answers or silence.
So PPD blue pillers: let's hear it. I pose you the same questions:
Are sexist double standards bad? Should women be held to the same standard as men even if it means that more women will become subordinate to men?
And I'm calling it quits from PPD. Here is some feedback before I depart:
This reply is a concession. Yet it's accumulating upvotes, currently at (+4):
In my very first comment here, I was clear that I disagree with the double standard should this be the case.
Based on reality I presented, which has been downvoted, currently at (0):
...Men that are in the same non-combat roles as women, have a higher standard. The standard is set to maintain combat readiness, not promote "excellent physical condition".
Even after conceding the point, the original reply is accumulating more upvotes, currently at (+9):
It really, really depends to me on what the purpose of the physical requirements is...
Read rule #6. The one in all caps.
Even if you think these downvotes are justified (in a sub that doesn't allow downvotes) because of my phrasing or tone, or whatever, beyond this particular instance in this thread my responses also have negative votes. The thread itself has negative votes. RP responses all over this subreddit have negative votes.
BPers, feminists, and the like - I think you have our relationship here a little confused. I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret.
The RP/Anti-feminist/MRA's/MGTOWs or similar people that you like to bury and/or make fun of? We're far closer to the mainstream than you probably realize. And our coming here isn't based on any need of your approval. It's based primarily on entertainment, but also try to persuade you to think in our way for YOUR SAKE- not ours.
As my overall final point: You can shrug this off in spite of the evidence - but your way of thinking has one foot in the grave. Feminism is being dismantled and exposed for the unneeded crock that it is, and people that dare to associate with it are rightly being put in their place.
It's a joke, and there is a reason why most of you will smartly keep your beliefs to yourselves in the workplace and other areas, because you know you'll be ostracized for being the ridiculous hamstering bafoons that you are.
How you expect to be seen as reasonable when claiming that men and women are actually the same is beyond me- when everybody else sees it as clear as fucking day: different genitals, check. Different body structure, check. And oh hey, they act differently about different stuff and are interested in different things!
Anyway, I'm done trying to explain reality to people that have a vested interest staying blind. Adios.
