>the fiction both men and women consume. It is not hypocritical. What one consumes however does contributes to one’s worldview. The noble and wise king. The valiant, honourable knight. The villain. Stories are crucial to messaging. If the media one consumes perpetuates a certain message? For instance that there is a wage gap? Whether fictional or not, if an individual does not have the critical thinking skills to discern the difference? That media will impact their worldview. It is that simple.

>maternity Is a conscious choice. Not only that, it is entirely dependent upon significant biological differences. For instance breastfeeding. Objectively, we cannot compare two very different parenting roles. Primarily because I cannot breastfeed our children, nor objectively facilitate all the positives from that processes that directly involve a biology imperative. A far more egalitarian comparison would leave out maternity as a factor. Instead strictly compare ‘work’ for ‘work’.

>you should do some complaining before you “fix” anything Genuine question; why? For instance I am a black and white thinker. Objectively, when facing any choice or adversity there are only two potential outcomes; the best possible outcome, and every other outcome subsequent to it. All the way down, to the worst potential outcome. Complaining means focusing on the problem, as opposed to the solution. Moreover, it is far more efficient to be solutions oriented. Which means the faster one can move…

>If I have options I agree with this take. Initial reciprocity for most normal folk is preferred. Additionally, OP objectively either did not see her partner, or his profile did not sufficiently stand out enough to warrant her matching with him. Which means she either did not vet through all her options extensively enough, or did not view her partner’s profile as a viable or even memorable option.

>abundant red Fanta Man this triggered a core memory. I remember my first time travelling to Asia as a kid, and getting a red Fanta. I had never seen one before in my life, and thought Fanta was exclusively orange. That was one of the best experiences of my life. It is always just appreciating the little things that contributes to so much fun in life.

>it’s an activity, not a resource If it can be monetised, it adopts the exact same properties as any other commodity or resource. Which makes it analogous to every other commodity or resource that can be traded. It is that simple.

>deliberate concealment Genuine question; for the child or children involved; what difference does it make to them if false paternity is discovered? Specifically in context to secure attachment? Arguably newborns are far more dependent upon their mothers than fathers, at least initially. There is however an argument that newborns do bond with fathers. For instance with our first, I was instructed to go ‘skin to skin’ with her. Immediately after birth. That is the sort of core memory that bonds a…

Im sorry I cannot explain this further. Again, no need for apologies my friend. It is clear that we simply cannot agree as to what level of objectivity is not only practically applicable, but necessary. For instance your own point was that your partner in his decision making must take into account what is best for both of you. The question is by what rationale? Emotional? Practical? A combination of both? Is sacrificing one for the other an objectively good choice in any big life decision? If so…

the point of being useless So what you’re saying is bringing Descartes Ian’s philosophy is useless? In context to relationship advice? If not; then what is it applicability? For instance my primary point is that I do not need obedience from my partner. That I use objectivity primarily because it is the simplest and most efficient tool to make any big life decision. How one feels about eating is irrelevant to eating. Now, if your retort is that philosophy is applicable to objective reality, becau…

This is the same deal My friend, the primary reason this is not a prerequisite unit for a tertiary level course is because this is reddit. That said, there definitely are similarities. For instance; I enjoy asking questions. As above; I ask you if Descartes first conclusion from his studies was; “I do not think, there I do not exist”. There is only one, clear, logical answer? Correct? Now, you could have answered the question directly. Which leads to good faith debating. You, almost at every tur…

not that simple Okay. I will ask you, simply; was Descartes first conclusion to affirming his existence; ‘I think; therefore I am.” Presumably, there is only one answer to this question? Correct?

Ontology Again, I have a simple answer; faith. As a Christian, there are simply two modes in which my worldview informed; that which can be reasonably explained, and that which cannot. For instance Maths. Science. Engineering. For Metaphysics? The science maths only goes so far. Which is where not only your ability to explain yourself or your argument ends, but the objective limit of our entire understanding of physics as a body of knowledge is currently limited to. Which limits the applicabilit…

My friend, the issue with debating higher order thinking is if one cannot explain it simply, then their point is moot. For instance there’s a theory that we are all just brains in a glass jar. If true, one’s worldview is still impacted by this fact. Regardless if one is cognisant of the fact, or not. Which is the basis of my point of view. Your relationship would be objectively impacted by your partner’s earning capacity. Obedience is secondary to this fact, unless it is simply blind obedience. …

>the difference Scale. For instance I do okay in the western country I live in. When I go back home to my third world country? I’d live like a king if I was allowed to. The currency is 2:1. Conversely when I travel stateside I essentially am halving my buying power. This premise is exactly applicable to the financial circumstances for individuals in developing nations. If they shack up with a guy from the states? They’re doubling their buying power.

>if hypergamy was real The key factor objectively that drives hypergamy is necessity dictates. For instance is it more attractive to be skinny? Or muscular? Socially inept? Or socially adept? Poor? Or wealthy? As soon as the simplest form of objective reasoning is applied, why hypergamy not only exists but underpins the basic foundations of life is clear. It is literally as simple as that.

>take a philosophy course The issue with philosophy is it can only exist in context to objective reality. The meaning of life. Morality. Spirituality. Topics of luxury. As opposed to necessity. For instance if a couple cannot feed themselves? How they feel about it is secondary to objective fact. Which is the foundation from which all higher order thinking progresses.

>He cant pull this final say terribly often Why not? Objectively, in any big decision there are only two outcomes; yes, or no. Arriving to this directly? Negates all bickering. Compromising. Negotiating. Or variables. Primarily because if one uses objective reasoning there is only going to be one objectively optimal answer. Especially in context to big decisions.

>you have to show her It is far more efficient, and beneficial to prove to oneself first, what caliber of person they are. Primarily because one’s outcomes not only shows one potential partner who they are, those outcomes show everyone the level an individual is operating at.

>elderly This is what I find tragic about Western culture. In my culture and many similar cultures in The East our elderly are venerated. A key part of one’s ‘village’ thus for the most are treasured and respected. Multi generational homes are the social norm. Not nursing homes. By all appearances it is just a very sad fate for those who end up there. Not to mention those elderly who live alone.

>the only things that can considered attractive Yeah this was a bit of an eye opener for me. When younger I did okay dating so never put much thought into it. After my first divorce though I was a little more intentional. Paid attention to women complimenting me. Weird ones I’d never thought of; nice almond eyes. Nice lashes. Hands. Forearms. There was the usual too; nice arms. Nice legs. Nice butt. Yet women notice so many little things that I for the life of me would never have guessed.

Specifically, the objective reality of every single human being on the planet. From which all your statistics, information and data is derived.

>Unknowable. Interesting point. Let’s test it. Objectively. For instance for every single human being on the planet; does their physiology impact how they view the world? Genetics. Physical stature.

>the distribution Okay. Let’s simplify the point using objectivity. For instance objectively are nature and nurture not the two primary factors that influence an individual’s worldview? If not, why not? If so, in what way? For instance, in how an individual exercises their agency? Is this not the objective reality of every single human being on the planet?

>so heavily correlated The root cause of how one views the world comes down to two factors; first nature, then nurture. Objectively these two factors determine how much agency an individual can exercise in response to external stimuli. For instance take political affiliation. Say an individual is a third generation democrat. Are they more likely to stay voting for the democrats? Or not? Conversely say an individual is a third generation capitalist.

>married This is a good point. I’m 11 years removed from dating to, thus I have to keep a very open mind when it comes to the realities of dating in the current SMP. That said, regardless of the spread of any ideology, be it Feminism or TRP the key factor has always been and will always be individual agency. It underpins how one chooses to view the world, irrespective of their objective reality.

It’s clear it cannot be Okay. Let’s pull this apart. Again, using a modern, progressive democracy where birth control is easily accessible and encouraged. Is there clear legislation governing parental and financial obligations pre-birth? Even pre-sex? Objectively, to me the answer is straightforward. Do you agree?
/r/PurplePillDebate25/06/26 11:42 PM
1

Legislation can equally applied post childbirth This is a good point. Can it then be equally applied pre-birth? For instance you state the child gains rights after 4 months? In utero? Or at 4 months old? Additionally, what rights? Right to financial support from the father? Does this then mean the father has financial responsibility, but no other legal responsibility?

>off topic How so? The topic is about how objectively, financial abortions are not legally feasible. To recap my first viewpoint; they are. We simply legislate them as the default legal footing.

Whilst also empowering women by default with information about the calibre of man who chooses not to. Which objectively in context to the choice t…

>You can’t legislate a solution The primary reason default financial abortions can be effective is because it serves two purposes; first it empowers men to consciously choose to be an active parent. By giving them legally recognised agency, to make that choice. Second, it draws a clear line in the sand for women. Thus by default women are far better informed, as to whether to proceed from conception to childbirth with any man.

What level of victimhood should absolve a man of his financial obligation? Now, a more common scenario; if contraception fails? Objective…

>a child’s mom doesn’t have the right to terminate a child’s rights to resources from it’s father. Genuine question; when does a child attain the right to resources from their father? At conception? First trimester? At birth? A child’s right to resources is dependent upon them existing in the first place. Removing the ambiguity by default ensures that those men who actually want to provide for their potential offspring, have to make a conscious effort to do so.

>establish financial and material support since the start The most efficient solution is to make financial abortions the default legal footing. Then have men opt in.

>potential life trumps the mothers The primary issue however is agency. Objectively a potential mother consciously chose to have sex. Conception occurring does not absolve her of her choice to have sex with that specific man. So if she chose well by say having sex with her husband? There is little issue. Conversely if she chose to engage in casual sex with a stranger? How is she considering the needs of the fetus making a decision like that?

So if push comes to shove and she finds herself in abusive or dangerous situation? She has at least some tools at her disposal. I obviously cannot relate to a woman’s attraction to abuse. I do ho…

patriarchy normalizes power imbalance between men and women; men have weaponized their power against women and other men. The primary issue with viewing social hierarchies at any scale or timeframe as ‘a patriarchy’? Is it does not reflect reality.

men have reproductive rights and can decide for themselves if they will become parents, just like women can. The simplest method is to enact paper abortions as the default legislation.

>it has never been a healthy way to look at sex Agreed. Ultimately, sex is only one facet of a full and healthy life. It can be a positive part, but objectively there are also individuals that live a full and healthy life forgoing their basest of desires. Now most do not need to adopt such an extreme mindset, but keeping the importance of sex in appropriate perspective is a beneficial worldview to adopt. It is as simple as that.

subjectivity of value There is an objective difference. Between the dating and relationships outcomes of a prisoner, and an NBA player. So we can subjectively compare the two scenarios as we have done, and see where the merit lies objectively. For instance is the subjective value of a prisoner receiving fan mail the same or similar to an NBA cheating on his girlfriend? Presumably an argument can be made that it is. Are their outcomes objectively the same or similar? Not so much.

No. This is entirely anecdotal but as a perfectionist, tying any process solely to an outcome can be detrimental. In that the outcome can outweigh the value derived from the process.

It is not about who said what. It is about the child. This is a good point. So regardless of whatever a woman says, a man should not trust her? More importantly, to protect himself should take unreasonable precautions? This, to you, is reasonable?

You make a decision to have sex This, again is the pivotal point. A man can take all reasonable precautions including eliciting an agreement that childbirth is not an option from the woman pre-coitus. Post conception, is she responsible for honouring her part of that agreement? If your answer is anything other yes, your point of view means that what a woman agrees to pre-conception is absolutely worthless post conception. Is this unreasonable?

old childless woman Whilst I agree family comes in many forms, there is objectively a fundamental difference belonging to a big family of relations. For instance I have a decent sized family(4 siblings). We’re currently at 20 grandkids for my parents. Which means birthdays. Graduations. A billion basketball, netball and soccer games. A few rugby ones too(thankfully). Not to mention my extended family. In year if we didn’t holiday as often as we do, there’d be a party 40 off weekends out of the y…

already in the more defensive position This is key. Personally my first step is to adopt the point of view I’m opposing. So my default position is always one of agreement. Couple that with Objectivity, and it’s fairly easy to discern the merit of most arguments here.

How old are you? Old enough to discern inequality when I see it. If you do not want babies do not do it. That, is the point. If a man takes every single precaution up to including a vasectomy, is direct in communicating with a woman prior that childbirth is not an option for him, and she agrees to just sex under these circumstances? Is she responsible for that choice? Especially if conception occurs and she knew his stance prior?
/r/PurplePillDebate21/04/26 11:38 PM

you made the choice to have sex. This is a good point. The issue is when both parties agreeing just to sex, but not to childbirth. The premise being that if there was no agreement, there would be no sex.

doesn’t make it rage bait It makes little sense too. Objectively in a majority of endeavours, having more options is almost always more beneficial than having less options. As Heinlein so eloquently posits; ’specialization is for insects.’ It is that simple.

consensual My friend, it doesn’t bother me either way. I am interested in your logic though. Primarily because if a man would consents to sex with the expressed agreement that kids are not an option, and takes all necessary precautions leading up having a vasectomy? To you, that objectively means his consent is worthless. Correct?

Just as responsible Okay. So if neither party would have agreed to sex, objectively that express agreement does not absolve a man of his responsibility? Okay. Let’s say I agree. A man is just as responsible. Does that then mean every single man should take sufficient precaution to protect himself from this outcome? Say, lie? This, to you, is reasonable? If not, what level of precaution is? If full contraception and fully trusting the woman is insufficient?

an accident or contraceptive failure. This is a good point. Let’s then separate accident or contractive failure from degree of victimhood. For instance both parties use contraception. The pill. Condoms. Throw in Vasectomies too. Both parties are only entering into relations with the express agreement of sex, but no kids. That without that express agreement, neither party would have agreed to sex. Conception occurs. Upon learning this fact, the woman is free to change her mind and continue till h…

Be specific about the kind of deceit Certainly. All deceit that results in half the ingredients being acquired. Take your example of lying about being on the pill. How responsible is a victim of that level deceit? Objectively are they a victim; or not?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 10:22 AM

Most men are not deceived Let’s try and remain objective. Thus, if half the ingredients were acquired through deceit, how responsible should that victim of deceit be? Again, an objectively simple question.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 09:43 AM

Pretty sure the topic of discussion here is Responsibility. So, to you, there should be no obligation on the victim’s behalf. Thus, no responsibility. I agree. The next logical question then is degree of victimhood. For instance; acquiring half the ingredients through deceit. To you, how responsible is a victim of deceit?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 09:33 AM

relevant To you, are the circumstances under how half the ingredients were acquired relevant? Or not? It is an objectively simple question.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 09:01 AM

more specific Certainly. Objectively there are only two ends of the range of consent a man can give prior to engaging in sex. At one end; full and enthusiastic consent to sex and all it entails. For instance a married couple trying for a baby. The other extreme; no consent. For instance Rape. Every other circumstance occurs between these two extremes. Is this unreasonable? Primarily because the next step is to walk the reasoning back, to a point where you and I agree.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 08:53 AM

gives up control Do you hold this view for both ends of the range of consent? For instance, a man enthusiastically and fully consents to leave his half of the ingredients in the oven. Or at the other extreme; half the ingredients were acquired without his consent. Is your answer the same for both these circumstances?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 08:48 AM
-11

Objectively, half the ingredients can only be acquired from a man with his full, enthusiastic consent; or none at all. Every single other circumstance falls between these two extremes. At either end, does a man have 50% control over the decision as to whether those ingredients get ‘fully baked’? Or not?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/04/26 08:10 AM

their behaviour could be encapsulated into simple rules like that. It can not only be simplified down to simple rules, it is pragmatic to do so. For instance one half of a sexually dimorphic species finds physical strength attractive. Social acumen. Or the ability to accumulate resources.

not his responsibility to stay or leave As someone who’s dealt with this issue postpartum twice; the key factor is communication. For instance the cause is an either a small change or a significant one. Say a hormone imbalance. Dietary shift. Or childbirth. Understanding, acknowledging then addressing this fact improves every facet of sexual intimacy subsequent to it. Which takes patience, empathy and solid communication from both parties to effectively resolve.

The advice targets patterns because patterns produce results. I agree with this. I grew up around a few pro and semi pro athletes.

Okay. We are in agreement. When then is it reasonable for society to expect a woman to ‘figure it out’? Only after professional help? Or prior to a first date? Objectively, is it reasonable for a society to expect a woman is sufficiently self aware prior to a first date?

what if The premise remains. For instance if a child is sufficiently aware of their victimization, they will use whatever agency they possess to resolve their issues. Older siblings shielding younger ones. Or running away and escaping. Objective solutions. Not ideal, but presumably the best they can attain with limited agency. Any individual that has sufficient awareness will seek to resolve their issues. The rest? Objectively? Suffer the consequences of their ignorance.

we are talking in circles Sorry, that image didn’t load so I’ll take your word for it. That said, the baseline of my argument is based on an objective point you agree with; that at the point of seminal discharge, responsibility is relinquished. For instance once you have relinquished responsibility for your dog, regardless if it’s to a dog groomer or puppy farmer you have no direct responsibility for what happens beyond that point. This is objective reality. Correct?

First, don’t be sorry. I am thoroughly entertained. So I am grateful to you. cut off your point Objectively, there are only two outcomes; both parties enter into an ‘agreement’, and both parties honour it.

Again, objectively if there was no prior agreement, you would not relinquish the responsibility of your dog. Correct?

I have relinquished responsibility Finally. This is the point. If an individual has relinquished responsibility, that is where the inequality occurs. For instance your dog groomer kills your dog.

you lose me Okay. Let’s pull it apart further; objectively, are all physical males born the same? I posit that whilst all physical males are nearly universally similar, they are objectively not the same. Hence, no existing monolith. Is this illogical?
/r/PurplePillDebate01/04/26 02:34 AM

biological ties Happy to point out the reasoning for your critique. First, just because an aspect is a huge part of an individual’s makeup, does not make it universally applicable to all individuals. Objectivity demanding we acknowledge and incorporate this fact. Hence no existing monolith. That established, the vast majority of males do subscribe to societal norms and have done since we as a species worked out fairly early on that we are stronger together, than we are apart. Hence the importanc…

/r/PurplePillDebate01/04/26 01:00 AM

That really doesn’t make sense. Agreed. It only makes sense when you understand and accept that men are not a monolith. Nor are they a static concept. For instance a man can be a womanising dead beat dad one day. Then ‘find Jesus’ the next and spend the rest of his days trying to make amends. Or the opposite. Walk away from 20 years of a wholesome marriage and family, and start swinging in sex dungeons. Monogamy as a practice is not for everyone, all the time. It’s beneficial to understand, and …

Hilarious! It’s almost as those that agree with the OP do not understand that sexuality can be and often is a preference, at least in context to attraction. Crudely put, just because a woman finds other women attractive, does not mean they have to find men who like penises attractive. It’s not rocket science.

we’re done My friend, I apologise if you think I am not debating in good faith. I directly equate sexual preference with sexuality. So objectively if another person is attracted to someone with a certain sexual preference, I respect that fact regardless of reason. Solely because regardless of my or even society’s morals, they are free to rationalise their attraction however they deem fit. Is this unreasonable?

subjective in nature. Agreed. So if an individual is subjectively attracted to an immutable trait, that is okay? For instance two people connect online in a game. Grow feelings for each other.

Monogamy sucks because too many people act like dramatic insecure teenagers. This is a criticism of an individual’s choices, not monogamy. All your examples are of the actions of individuals, not the practice of monogamy.

Presumably it would be advantageous to get back into the market again before one’s competition. Additionally, the ‘non-invisible’ men would not have left in the first place. So for the invisible men re-enter The SMP there would be a level of competition already established too.

Male status is getting truly FUCKED up I have not watched the documentary, but status is contextual. For instance one’s status in context to society objectively?

inextricable concepts This is a good point. Let’s say I agree. Values cannot be separated from politics. For instance say one values freedom of choice, and the equality of opportunity. Regardless of policy, these values dictate one votes for ‘their’ party over another. Even if another party or candidate runs on a platform that better aligns with these values. This reasonable?

your partner aligning with you enough Is not a matter of politics, but values. Objectively, framing values through politics is only one facet of a person’s worldview. For instance one could frame their values through religion. Or through their level of education. Their values formed and framed through their family dynamic, or relationship history. In context to dating, Politics as a way to frame values if not irrelevant, at the very least is a secondary consideration. To the values themselves. A…

the political and elite class Whilst I agree, this perspective is too narrow. If scaling out perspective as objectively as possible, the entire premise of civility pivots on the mobility of force. If a society or country cannot or chooses not to protect its ‘elites’? For instance Khamenei or Maduro? What happens? Conversely if an ‘elite’ can mobilise enough voters to vote in force? In a progressive democracy there’s very little the minority can do, other than to mobilise en masse in reply.

What functional role To establish the objective limit of responsibility. For instance is a severely disabled individual who possess little to no cognitive capacity, ultimately responsible for their own outcomes? If not, then that is the objective limit.

right back to the ‘disabled’ bit. Okay. Let’s try a different tactic to see if we can agree; To you; is there an objective limit where an individual has no responsibility over their outcomes?

Men are not the prize. They do not at all peak at 50. Whilst I agree for most men it is not pragmatic to expect to ‘peak at 50’ objectively, if a man is valuable enough? 50? 60? Even 70 is just an age. Prime examples being De Niro and Pacino. Who were fathers again at the spritely age of 80 and 83 years old. The prime example however are not these two; it is Leo.

this last time she clearly did not feel horny Let’s say I agree. She replied purely out of boredom. If so, that would mean she had no sexual intent, and that the casual nature of their previous relationship had no bearing on her decision to reply. For instance to alleviate her boredom she could’ve chosen to text a friend. Read a book. Gone for walk. A myriad of choices. Yet her choice was to reply to a person with whom she previously shared casual relations with. That reasonable?

The key for me was making all the traits women find attractive habit. So when my current relationship ends, I know I’ll have very little issue re-partnering.

get out of my mentals The key is broadening one’s perspective sufficiently through objectivity. For instance what is better; ejaculating too fast or not ejaculating at all? Acknowledging an issue is the first step to addressing it. Next is accepting factors you cannot change, then finally pouring your mental energy into the factors you can change. Medical advice. Diet. Pelvic floor exercises(kegels). Viagra. Meditation. There is a myriad of options to address this specific issue. The first step …

something else I second choosing your own long term outcome as defined by you. As someone who’s been divorced and is currently married to me it wasn’t too bad. Yes, the cost ran into the six figures. I also acquired experience, insight and knowledge. Which is invaluable. Personally, when this marriage ends I’ll most likely do it again(even have one already lined up). I’d even be open to having more kids. You just have to determine what will bring you happiness and fulfilment. A family and kids? …

men haven’t built a body positivity movement Primarily because it is unnecessary. Objectively, most guys from boyhood onwards understand that societies operate on hierarchies. One’s capacity in any domain will determine how far up that hierarchy they can go. Body positivity directly contradicts this fact, by espousing that being fat is ‘positive’ when in reality being slim to jacked is far more beneficial. It is that simple.

as the male of any species in this kingdom one of our major goals is to be chosen Is to survive via adaptive reproduction. Objectively this is the basis for all species, and being ‘chosen’ is still a fairly recent adaptation in context to body positivity. Hence why height, muscles, and being physically capable is still a very attractive trait.

Option 1 As an extrovert I derive a ton of emotional and social fulfilment outside of a relationship. My besties I’ve had since age 5 and I meet at least once a month. Usually for drinks, dinner and a little debauchery. If my partner and I do not or connect at even a minimum level, I’m good. Additionally, hypothetically if money was a factor that would be primary determining factor.

it’s moved to an extreme that’s outside the scope of the post. Then the scope of the post is subjectively too narrow. That lacks the objectivity necessary for practical application.

women should not be told to “take responsibility”. Agreed. They should just take responsibility. Objectively, an individual is responsible for their personal well being. Physically. Emotionally.

The details of the contest can vary. Agreed. Equally true though is that there are some details that stay the same. For instance the status of Kings.

If it has no bearing, then men’s desire for it to feel ‘loved’ is irrelevant. If it is fundamental, then to what extent? It kills relationships? Destroys love? Or perhaps it is a boiling frog factor.

”Choose better” and “watch what they do The luxury of choice sets up a dilemma; if a woman matches with a man who is attractive enough and wants to make him wait? He is not going to be bothered by it. Conversely if she sleeps with him, she is still subject to his continuing on the relationship in any context. Presumably an undesirable outcome too. Women have the right to choose either way. This however does not negate the dilemma of that choice. It is that simple.

if she doesn’t sleep with you on the first date she’s not into you Unfortunately it is a lose-lose for women. For instance if a man is attractive enough and a woman wants to make him ‘wait’? That is not going to bother him. Conversely if she sleeps with him, she is still subject to his desire to continue on the relationship in any context. Which I would imagine is not an ideal outcome for most.

Okay. Let’s say I agree. A victim is st an advance age, with trauma stemming from experiences decades past. Does that then mean there is no possibility of rehabilitation? If not, what is the outcome? Medicate the symptoms away? That vet resigned to being a perpetual victim? Conversely if there is a possibility of rehabilitation, what does the process of returning that vet back to or as close to full function entail?

some never resolve at all This is a good point. What is an example of this?

Hold Space for Male Victims Genuine question; why? At what point is one no longer a victim? Objectively can one reconcile their trauma sufficiently that they no longer identify as a victim? Or is that impossible? Once one experiences trauma, are they are perpetually a victim? If not, what is the difference between a victim and someone who is no longer a victim? I’m all for supporting those who suffer, but to what end? Holding space is only beneficial if it is in pursuit of an individual no longe…

Okay then. At the very least, I appreciate the honesty my guy hehe!

Okay. Then what is your point? Life is life?

Okay. Let’s see if we can simplify your point further. Presumably your point is life is not designed, and this fact makes the randomness that occurs in life a defining factor. Is that an accurate summary of your point?

Clueless Okay. Let’s recap; Your point was life is not designed. My point was agreeing with you. Life is not designed. We through our agency ‘design’ our lives and subsequent outcomes. That reasonable?

its useless comment Yet you agree with it.

it is perfectly reasonable Then why not just agree? Instead, you chose to call my comment an ‘irrelevant tangent’. Then, call it useless. Which to me, makes no sense.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/02/26 01:50 AM

My friend, if you think debating your point useless? That is fine. Thank you though. For the attempt.
/r/PurplePillDebate18/02/26 01:44 AM

Okay. Let’s pull it apart and see where you and are disagree? You stated life is not ‘designed’. I agreed. That one’s life by default is not designed, and that instead one must exercise their agency to ‘design’ and attain the life they desire. That reasonable?
/r/PurplePillDebate18/02/26 12:45 AM

entirely irrelevant How so? The existence of ‘a bar’ by default establishes a parameter by which an individual can view the world. For instance below ‘the bar’ or above it. Is that not a direct use of one’s agency? Hence, by their own ‘design’ one views the world?

if the differential between the sexes were nullified I agree with this take. I made a similar point above; objectively it is reasonable that for most normal women, sex is not overly difficult to acquire. Conversely for most normal men? It is somewhat more difficult to attain. Hence the difference.
/r/PurplePillDebate17/02/26 10:50 PM

Life was not designed Agreed. It is designed. By you. Objectively, whilst some factors are immutable there also a ton of factors that are. Hence the importance of agency.

worth less as a person Whilst morally a noble ideal, objectively all lives differ in value. For instance how hard is it for an average woman to have sex? It is reasonable that for most normal women, sex is not overly difficult to acquire. Conversely for a normal man? Again, reasonable to conclude sex is somewhat more difficult to acquire. Hence the difference.

I need a nap My youngest just started school, so I no longer have a ‘day nap’ buddy. Which whilst sad does means I do get my king bed back to myself hehe!

Losing the weight First, good work almost 150lbs. That is over a 1/3 of who you used to be! A ton of people will try to diminish you as a person, do not be one of them. Second, you self aware enough to change. Not want. Not hope. Actually change. As you’ve already achieved so much. You’ve done a fantastic job so far. Keep being kind to yourself, and keep going. You’re killing it! Godspeed and good luck!

Happy Lunar New Year y’all! Wishing good fortune to you all!

I came across the viewpoint via Kevin Samuels, because I never paid much attention to it previously. As my process in viewing most things is to simplify everything down to the root cause. So rarely noticed S.I.G.N. language because my goal is always to simplify down to base fact. I suspect people who use that kind of language have issues. I’m not perfect, but I know myself well enough not to react emotionally because it is a waste of effort. It is that simple.
