that is a mindset issue. if you approach every new interaction as if it's a prelude to being rejected, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Being inexperienced does not mean a person's character is that of a "loser." Neediness and desperation are not a permanent state, but rather a mindset and a behavioral pattern. If an inexperienced man compromises his personality just to please women, becomes obsessed, and places sexuality at the very center of his life, then yes, this "energy of neediness" will repel women. However, if that same inexperienced man is busy building his own life, stands firm in his stance, and maintains his decency…

I would gently suggest that, in leftish/social-justice/liberal spaces online, women are given a benefit of the doubt that men aren't. (I say this as someone who's, with an alt account, asked for advice on reddit, and gotten responses assuming a whole lot of dumb shit about me because I'm a guy) that's why I try to be gentle in this one particular sub; these guys want to be read charitably.

maybe the kind of tough love that you're dishing out isn't what she needs right now. Maybe she wants to publicly have difficult, frustrating feelings, and maybe focusing super-duper hard on solutions isn't helpful in the moment. everyone needs kindness and everyone needs empathy. Trust me, Mr. No Outward Accomplishments is well-aware of his deficits.

though I generally agree, I think this is the wrong play. as a rule, my habit is to say something like what I'd say to a plus-size woman who's frustrated with dating: yeah, it sucks out there, and dating is shitty. Personal virtue is not correlated with dating success and in is some cases orthogonal to it. All you can really do is keep trying and not let it get to you. "look at you, Mr. No Outward Accomplishments!" is not exactly a crowdpleaser.

you use "social dynamics principles exist" as a just-so story. if we were in the short story The Lottery, you'd say that, oh, the social dynamic principle here is that we stone someone once a year. It's so we get a good corn harvest. now, that social dynamic is obviously horrific, but you're using the same kind of logic; it exists, therefore we abide by that principle. it should occur to you that we have the power to change those dynamics and principles when they are harmful.

what she's saying is that her existence as a woman who's Better Than Them triggers insecurities, and she's probably right about that. what is sometimes difficult to have a conversation about is that, all other things equal, there tends to be a general preference among women for "dating up" in certain ways that exists less among men.

it's really hard to find good dating advice for guys, because dating advice inherently relies on some generalizations that can seem really annoying. simple example: healthy dating guru: you'll need to approach women. peanut gallery: it's weird when men insert themselves into womens' lives and actually women approach men all the time.

you are disallowing her from making her own choices and determinations, and you're projecting your own insecurities onto her. you are in your own way right now because there's a voice in your head that says you don't deserve nice things.

The formal aspect of nature in this narrower sense is therefore the conformity to law of all the objects of experience, and so far as it is known a priori, their necessary conformity.

gently: if I told a plus sized woman "actually men don't care about weight", I think you'd probably tell me I was gaslighting her, because I would be. short guys live in their own lives, y'know? telling them that the thing they've experienced isn't actually happening is often unhelpful to them breaking outta that kind of thinking.

So is being able to "get sex easier" really an advantage if the sex you're getting is often bad, non-consensual or sometimes even violent and dangerous? of course the last conditions, no, that's not the same, agreed 100%. you will find it hard to convince men who literally have not been touched by a woman in years that "bad" sex is not better than 0 sex. They could be wrong, but you could be too.

you need to listen to him. don't call him out, don't check him. Don't lecture him on his lack of confidence.

This analogy only makes sense if abortion and legal paternal surrender had the exact same outcome, but they don't. With abortion, there is no child. With legal paternal surrender, a child exists. Trying to operate under the assumption that they are the same is a big fallacious hole in your logic.

Safe havens exist as a bulwark against infanticide. They're not the same thing as a blanket right for men to abandon their alive, innocent children. Your refusal to engage with the concepts of scope and scale is the problem.

I am a man and I disagree with this view because it would be bad for the child. Nearly all of our public policy is designed around alive, innocent children being protected as well as we can. Further, the right to access abortion services has never been about abdicating rights for an alive child. You're actually asking for extra rights.

So what's weird is that I don't think you're necessarily disagreeing with the piece?

To me, this doesn't allow for sufficient discussion about race.

I think it makes some interesting points about demography.

There are a bunch of these that I disagree with, but I want to highlight one in particular because it's a fundamental misunderstanding: Anonymity for the Accused Laws If the rape accuser is anonymous, so is the accused. there is no law about this in America and in fact it is unconstitutional to make this law.

Do you think it is wrong for women to use safe haven laws The evidence is quite clear that safe havens are used sparingly.

In most States with safe haven laws, either parent may surrender his or her baby to a safe haven.

In the District of Columbia, an infant may be relinquished only by a custodial parent who is a resident of the District.

Sorry, if you're saying that men and women experience sexual harassment and assault in the exact same way then I'm not sure this will be a fruitful conversation. Sometimes experiences are gendered. That doesn't mean your life or experiences are anything besides completely valid, only that sometimes conversations are not going to be about you. Again, to be completely clear, your story is only being "ignored" insofar as you're trying to tell it in a space not designed for it. You are valid.

it's an interesting conundrum. There's value to having gendered conversations about rape and consent, and that's what metoo was originally designed to be about - women.

Nothing is being "twisted". It's the inevitable result of the policy you're advocating for. This is why it is different from abortion and why it's comical, bordering on satire, to compare the two.

Are you under the delusion that what you write doesn't happen daily? This is very literally the concept of social justice that you're talking about. Making choices about who's welcome in any given space based on their behavior and ideals is something that's good and right. Making those choices based on "this person is a member of a marginalized group" is bad. Pretending those two things are the same would make that person look and sound like they're not a very deep thinker.

In any given voluntary social group, any code of conduct is suitable. He can go find another group, because this is a free country, and the rest of them can be done with him.

Some brief history: up until the mid-1800s, courts would award full custody to fathers in a divorce (this was a time when children were viewed basically as property of the father, and women had very few legal rights).

Is your argument that it is important for men to have a consequence to an unintended pregnancy, because otherwise they would not try to avoid getting women pregnant? There's always a consequence for unintended pregnancy. That's my point. Your stated preference is to shift that consequence off of the person who caused it. If so, that is an incredibly dark view on how men behave. Incentive structures are extremely powerful. Regarding the current legislation: I thought that we are arguing on what a…

The financial support must be taken over by the state. I believe it is more fair to have society pay for raising its children, than to have the cost of raising a child as a penalty for having sex. Note that this leaves the children with more support than they would have if the father does not actually have the financial means to support the child. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard What you describe is precisely the kind of thing that we legislate against. Let's be clear: women still bea…

Can you actually argue why it makes extremely bad policy, instead of insulting people? I actually prefer to hear the arguments. It would result in poorer outcomes for vulnerable children. You cannot use "men are just abandoning FETUSES!" sleight-of-hand as your logic. The fact on the ground would be children with less support. As for adoption: could you provide any sources that state that a father can give up his child for adoption? I was not aware this was a possibility, also this seems a contr…

The woman has the "three A's" available to her: Abortion, adoption, and abandonment (leaving your child anonymously, legally, and against the consent of the father, at places like courthouses and fire stations). okay so pretending like "the woman" has unlimited access to these things is your fallacy.

The problem here is that the article treats "violence" as a thing totally divorced from context. "Violence against women" is a problem because the vast majority of male-on-male violence is, in context, fairly predictable. Men are more likely to choose violent circumstances than women. We can talk about why that's the case - for example, gang violence is linked to a lack of opportunity in the inner city, itself a symptom of racism - but violence against women is qualitatively different from male-…

We have absolutely no idea how common LPS would be so that's not a valid argument. Inference is valid, and incentives are strong.

/r/PurplePillDebate05/09/17 05:00 AM

You don't want to recognize that scope and scale matter. The number of children born from sperm donations is minuscule compared to what LPS would wreak. And let's work together to fix adoption and safe haven laws. Where they are not gender-neutral, they should be. They have nothing to do with the badness and wrongness of LPS.

You are approaching this from a purely philosophical perspective. While that's fine on the internet, you aren't allowing practical considerations, and those are important where the rubber hits the road. We make laws to maximize prosocial outcomes. That's why we allow adoption - women who give up their children to strangers are not likely to be the best parents. Removing support from a child would not be prosocial. That's the real reason this is a policy impossibility.
/r/PurplePillDebate05/09/17 02:34 AM

Adoption and safe haven laws are nearly universally gender-neutral, so that's a red herring. Where they are not, they should be, 100%. Legal paternal surrender would have to be done before the woman's window for an abortion, so she can abort it if she isn't able or willing to support it on her own and with the help of others who have voluntarily offered support. This would nearly universally lead to a poorer outcome for the child. Since the child is the most innocent party, its needs are primary…

First: adoption, safe havens, and fostering are gender-neutral. Second: laws governing these things aren't supposed to be perfect, only pro-social.

In my experience, the men who I'm talking about have been told exactly that: it is annoying if you are too forward with women. don't do that. and I think that's a cultural narrative that's both widespread and pernicious. so when I see these guys get... well, for lack of a better term, shit on for absorbing it, I get really frustrated.

My point, though, is that the modern narrative we feed those men is "work hard, don't get crazy, be husband material" and the narrative those writers are providing to women is "don't bother thinking long-term right now, there are plenty of men who will be plenty stable when you feel like settling down." And that's a narrative that relies on us as a society producing those nice, stable boys.
/r/PurplePillDebate01/07/14 10:09 PM

And encouraging them to be "nice" and "husband material" in their twenties, while nobody can even mention point out the hypocrisy that you aren't wife material. Tell those nice boys, dude, you're boring, learn how to live and maybe we can talk. The fantasy is what most men are hating: "be good and good things will come." Yes, this expresses my point pretty well, too. This tends to be the cultural training that young men get - "be husband material."

Right, and I of course don't think we should encourage men to be assholes. That's why I took pains in my OP so say that I'm engaging this idea narrowly. I think the gendered expectation that men be stoic is quite damaging either way, though, and I think that TRP correctly identifies "have a stiff upper lip" to be a trait that, as a whole, is considered more positive than negative in men, especially by women.

I agree. I think the difference is that your concerns (and I apologize for the vaguely misogynist phrasing) is that what I wrote about men tends to be active and about how to act while women's concerns tend to be passive and/or how to react.

Well, my first (admittedly kneejerk) response is: a bunch of these are essentially "woman-focused". As in, telling men what NOT to do instead of what TO do.

They've heard plenty of "don't oversexualize women" and "don't overstep women's boundaries" but very little about "DO [thing]". What do you think?

Uhhhhh in general I don't like the whole RATE ON A SCALE thing for people. But, I dunno, somewhere between Tina Fey and that one girl from Sixteen Candles?

Thanks for your reply! Honestly, and not to completely burst your bubble (because you wrote a long post, and thanks again!) but yeah, you're just kinda wrong. I'm socially aware enough to know the difference between "she's being a nice person to me" and "yeah we could totally go bang". And to another point, I don't just listen to people and agree. I listen to people, consider their opinions, and react accordingly. I'm not a doormat.

My comment was honestly less set in stone than I think you're taking it, but I do think that it makes sense. Obviously cultures vary and change, though, yeah.

Sorry! Like EZ-bake ovens are "gendered female" or a playskool shop set is "gendered male," y'know? That's the sense in which I'm using it.

Just from a rational-actor standpoint, it's not necessarily "in our heads" because it's also part of the social reality we deal with, y'know? Reading your responses in this thread (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) it seems like you're a little disbelieving that this kind of stuff - be stoic, be unemotional, be the woman's rock - is gendered male and/or a common expectation of men by women. Am I correct? (Sorry if I'm not)

That's a logical way of thinking about it, but it also assumes this effect is mostly genetic and the result of evolution. I'm wondering if it's genetic, if it resulted from evolution, if it's reinforced by society...those types of things. Oh, sorry if it came off that way. That's not what I intended to communicate. I think it's probably mostly socially reinforced. By parents, by employers, by authority figures, etc.

I'm sure it happens to women sometimes, too, but that's definitely a societal reaction that is gendered male.

I mean, no one "likes" emotional women either. As to why that's a social expectation, it would make sense back in the big, bad dangerous days that you'd want a guy who could shut off his empathetic brain and hack at the intruders with a machete. Or go to work in some cannery for 14 hours without whining about it.

It's not 100% derived from teenage girls disliking emotional boys, of course. Traditionalist society still leaks through, even if you're raising boys ~modern style.~ But if you've made it to adolescence as a sensitive boy and you expect that to keep being "OK", especially with the opposite sex, you're in for a rude awakening.

Hey, I remember going through this same thought process in junior high and high school. One of the core tenets of how we raise boys these days (the "modern way" of doing so, anyway) is to be open and expressive. Just like little girls should be able to be "unladylike," so too are little boys taught that they should be able to be verbal and emotionally honest. And that works for a long time! Young boys are encouraged by their teachers and parents to be willing to open up. Then boys start liking g…

I meant it more in the "rejected by society" way, not by any specific woman.

Well of course no one owes anyone anything, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less to feel rejected.

You read that on my post a few days ago. I think there's very much an ideal vs reality thing that goes on. Ideally, yeah, we'd all be able to break these gender norms freely and still be attracted to each other. (Being heteronornative here obviously) In reality, women enforce some level of masculinity in potential mates/dates, as do men enforce some level of femininity. I dunno, just like I can't blame women too much for performing femininity in certain advantageous situations, I understand (tho…

Yeah, maybe that wasn't the right word. I'm very much in the "you can date or not date and fuck or not fuck anyone or no one for any or no reason" camp. But like you say, I also think we do need to recognize when broad social trends and decisions end up having a collective negative effect.

/r/PurplePillDebate03/10/13 07:12 PM

Hm. You're right, I wasn't clear. When I said "bucking the system," I meant more like, "being attracted to men who aren't their alpha stereotype." They feel trapped in that "man box," in their minds, because the women who perform femininity perfectly - young, traditionally attractive - still prefer the "alpha" traits they encourage young men to develop. They feel like that's enforced, like it's something put upon them by young women. So that's why I think their response would be something like, …

I agree with you. To channel a redpillian though: when the women they discuss are at the peak of their value - when they're young and traditionally attractive - TRP guys don't perceive them to be "bucking the system" either. That's half of what they're complaining about, from my perspective. These pretty girls go out and ride the carousel, they also operate "within the framework" instead of trying to change it. That explains their obsession with "The Wall" too. They perceive these women to have …

isn't accepting responsibility the exact opposite of growing bitter? Not to my reading. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. I think it's much more likely that their bitterness itself leads to the idea that, welp, if this is The Way It Is, I should probably just go out there and act how I want to act, and fuck everything else. I'm gonna get mine. You can walk into any crowd or any debate, you can run for any political office or hold any job and quote a mainstream feminist and you'll be appl…

I think everyone would agree that women are socialized to fear more easily, and I think that's a bad thing too.

I don't defend that piece, mostly because it's intentionally worded kind of aggressively. It would've been just as easy to write "strange men scare me a little bit, sorry." Instead, she spoke to "you."

I agree to a large extent, and if you'll go through my body of work in /r/Oney and a bunch of other subreddits, you'll see that I talk about this. Young men these days have absolutely shitty, shitty guidance wrt meeting and dating and interacting with women, and I think a lot of that is due to heavily mixed messages. What tends to happen in my opinion is that the genuinely honest, respectful young men over-absorb the message that you describe, which inevitably ends up with them being lonely and …

I see what you're saying. I half-agree and half-disagree. I think that it's unfair to simply say ignore your feelings. On the other hand, if someone's suggesting that feeling creeped out is reason for legal action, I don't agree with that at all. I also think being legitimately concerned about safety shouldn't equate to an assumption that all men are out to rape and/or sexually harass, which is another assumption I tend to see. I've never seen this. I HAVE seen "I don't know which of these peopl…

Sure! I think that it's more likely that men will be creepy towards women - men are socialized to be more sexually aggressive and more forward, and men tend to be larger than women - but you're right, of course.

Hi! I'm TITRC. I'm the person who posted that over in /r/OneY. I should tell you: I'm not a big Schwyzer fan, either. I think he's very dogmatic. That said, I think he makes some interesting points and some dumb points. I think women are allowed to be concerned with their own comfort and safety, and I think that "creepy" can function well when it means, "that guy overstepped the boundaries that I set." I've seen it used properly and reasonably many times. Having said that, I know that everyone h…
