I think women can handle rejection poorly and I’ve seen it but too many men be stalking, shooting, creeping, throwing tantrums etc. to say categorically women handle rejection worse than men.

I get your point but there are plenty of people who think women should be a part of the conversation. Like me and I’m a man and have been abused by a woman. So again not a monolith.

Hmm I think a cultural narrative of men as protectors can be problematic but this post treats “men” as a single collective, blurring the distinction between men who commit violence and men who prevent it or never engage in violence. It ignores that many men protect women in contexts that have nothing to do with male violence (natural disasters, accidents, medical emergencies, fires, etc.) It can imply collective responsibility—that all men lose the ability to be considered protectors because som…

Trauma and hurt isn’t a competition or a hierarchy
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 04:53 PM

Hmmm it gets tricky getting into conditions that seem like entitlement and unspoken expectations and covert contracts. It’s something that I’ve been warned about in therapy that’s why I’m surprised. Remember that consent can be given and withdrawn and that works both ways someone can withdraw consent for a relationship after sex. What would you think of me getting into a relationship with the promise of regular sex and then it doesn’t happen isn’t that just life and I’m not entitled to anything?
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 02:10 PM

I’m genuinely shocked to see you and other women present sex as transactional and a relationship as an entitlement. Isn’t that something blue pill/feminism frowns upon? The woman isn’t entitled to a relationship.
/r/PurplePillDebate25/07/26 01:50 PM
2

I agree with a lot of this. Loneliness, trauma, mental illness, rejection, and economic insecurity are absolutely not unique to men, and no one should use suffering as an excuse to dismiss the experiences of other groups. I also agree that misogyny and entitlement are real problems, and that a romantic partner cannot be expected to be someone’s entire emotional support system. Where I see things differently is that acknowledging men’s struggles doesn’t necessarily mean saying men have it worse o…

I’m not arguing that the struggles trans women face aren’t real or severe. Discrimination, violence, economic barriers, and trauma are serious issues, and I don’t want to minimize them. One of my best friends is a mtf trans lesbian who struggles with dating, so I hear the other side. But I also don’t think suffering works like a hierarchy where one group’s pain invalidates another’s. Someone can have privilege in one area of life and still experience profound loneliness, trauma, mental health st…

I think this perspective is missing some nuance. There is a difference between refusing to adapt and acknowledging that some people are struggling in ways that are not solved by simply “trying harder” or changing a few behaviors. Many men who feel lonely or rejected have already spent years trying to improve themselves, socialize more, date differently, work on their appearance, or seek help. Adaptation is important, but it also matters how we talk about people who are struggling. Telling someon…

Listen I sympathize with you. It’s hell isn’t it? Going through all kinds of meds and therapy for little or no gain. You’re not alone. I have a similar story. 36 yo virgin. The world is often a rough and unforgiving place. And us men are expected to power through it. I remember my first suicide attempt. I was 19 went to hospital. When I was discharged a girl about my age was discharged too. All the staff (all female) hugged here and were like “oh, we love you, good luck, etc etc” With me it was …

I take it by your last comment you admit at least in the past I may be right. Let’s talk about the present. I have a friend in Egypt who hates the choice of men there. Does she have a victim narrative or is there something to her complaints?

I can reasonably agree with this I’m even if we don’t agree on everything. I would be a little more critical of therapy. We have more therapists and more money spent on it now and on psychiatry and worsening outcomes. You can say that the outcomes are exogenous but I think we should be a little more critical. There is also the history - it is clear that in the past therapy and psychiatry have made mistakes. Big ones. Treating homosexuality as a disease. Institutionalizing and basically torturing…

We certainly made a combination of both individual choices and were influenced by social choices. It’s hard for me to put exact percentages. And the question is complicated. I obviously chose to go to college. But so did many others! And college attendance rates have gone way up compared to let’s say 100 years ago. That certainly is not just because everyone individually decided. As if people 100 years ago were dumb failures 😂 There was also a huge movement promoting college to us Millenials
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:59 PM

I agree with this and have talked with my therapist about this. I have often done fix after fix trying to control an outcome I ultimately can’t fully control.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:56 PM
1

Doesn’t this overlook systematic effects? If a system produces similar people at a high rate you would expect to often encounter people like that? Would you have blames a woman 100 years ago for often encountering horrible men?
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:50 PM
1

You mentioned therapy earlier. doesn’t therapy itself have an incentive to promote agency? If people don’t come broken one at a time looking to get fixed they have no constituency. I can agree somewhat that agency can have power. But I also think it has weaknesses if you can’t see social structures. Don’t you think social movements, like civil rights and women’s lib, had power due to a correct social critique? One black person using agency to register to vote is easily stopped. Thousands is not.
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:47 PM

I can somewhat agree but agency can also be a cover to ignore the power of social forces. I remember being in a sociology class where we were asked our life goals. And we had mostly come up with the same things (but a house, get married, etc.). Was it our individual agency that produced such remarkably similar answers?
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:45 PM

/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:44 PM

I totally disagree. If a woman consistently sees a broken dating pool, isn’t patriarchy a huge part of that?
/r/PurplePillDebate21/06/26 12:40 PM

I can see that but exceptions prove the rule don’t they? People can survive the worst circumstances imaginable hit what matters is how most people do in a circumstance. That’s what makes social forces so potent. Systems reproduce themselves despite some outliers.

Hmmm I have a deep yearning that can be difficult to explain. Some is I’m sure social, some hormones, some upbringing, some personality, etc. It can change but the yearning is almost always there. Sex drive is strong too and this is true of many men. Hard to disentangle everything. But there is often in men a high desire for external validation, to prove yourself, to perform a function.

Yeah they’re older (especially Arendt) but good. The Eco is just a short article so only takes like 20 minutes. Arendt is tough to read but has amazing insights. Robert O Paxton also wrote Anatomy of Fascism which is amazing. It’s an area I’m interested in and the parallels are disturbing. Arendt’s chapter on propaganda could have been written yesterday.

That is at the heart of totalitarians and fascists - belief in power at all costs. They don't use rhetoric to persuade but to gain power and organize.

I don’t think it’s unique. Finding someone you can work with is hard for anyone. But it’s also hard to sit in group therapy being the only guy. Even harder when you don’t want to be one.

Hey, if you want to publish peer reviewed history feel free. Things are always being challenged. But you need more data than just biology.

Therapies vary widely. From one of the papers: “Indeed, some research indicates that men may prefer a healing environment that involves ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’, action-oriented tasks outside of a formal clinic, rather than ‘face-to-face’, talk-focused therapy in a formal health clinic”

Well your response seems to be 1. Men don’t want to do therapy/are non compliant so it won’t work 2. Men don’t understand therapy. Men confuse sex work for therapy. 3. Men are much worse at handling mental issues logically. Aren’t these all individual causation? I can agree somewhat with some of these but this response seems to be what the paper argues against. Or are you against Whitley’s opinion?

Jesus Christ this is pretty extreme and bigoted rhetoric are you ok?

I mean a man can get a vasectomy right? Just as a woman can get an abortion? You get the medical procedure if you don’t want to pay child support.

What do you mean standard? You mean common? As it’s from the Thomson article every 1st year philosophy student has to read? Standard also doesn’t mean incontestable.

Your analogy about being forced to be hooked up seems to work better in cases of rape than in voluntary intercourse.

I mean, in the strictest sense it’s more a morphological fact than a norm. From which we strictly derive little, not even norms, which vary widely. Why? And why do they change? You seem not to be engaging in good intellectual faith with my questions and examples so I’m not interested in further discussion. I’ll let you have the last word.

What is your point then? That norms are norms, therefore if it is not normal to date someone younger it is not normal? Are you just engaging I tautologies?

You skipped over my example. Norms are not enough.

Ahhh, I get it. Try this argument on for size: “Men are stronger and can dominate women physically and hurt them. They in fact do. This just is. You catch women saying it shouldn’t be this way but it just is.” Doesn’t this seem like a very impoverished form of argument? There should be “shoulds” or “oughts,” shouldn’t there? The disagreement would come with which shoulds or oughts we adapt.

Be careful with sexual dimorphism arguments. They can go both ways. You could also use sexual dimorphism to argue, let’s say, that a woman SHOULD have an older mate with more resources.

So what if something is the norm or not? If older guys dating younger women or vice versa was the norm would that make it ok?

I agree. It’s utterly pointless. I think things are returning to times when 90%+ of men do not reproduce. I think men are pretty much cooked in modern society. Less and less women and men are in relationships. It would be better if we men committed mass suicide to stop being a burden as we are not needed anymore.

Hi you have a lot of presumptions here. I am a teacher who mentors male youth. I’ve also worked in male mental health and am part of a sports league. I’m glad to have your support but you seem very judgmental. You know who is the biggest opponent of my sports league? Women who want to join and are filing a lawsuit, basing their argument off of the Boy Scouts and things like that.

There are many plans and ideas. They include: expanding unmarried men’s rights when it comes to adoption, fighting circumcision, addressing domestic violence and abuse against men, resources for homeless, resources for suicide, incarceration reform, and many other things that would address a multitude of problems. Economic and educational support for young men, for example, can help them lift their lives up and attract better mates. And so much more.

Don’t even bother she’s very obtuse if she thinks friendships are the same as romantic partnerships except for sex. I mean, that’s so far out there it’s a take from Pluto.

There is no guarantee of anything. A logical consequence of the appointment of extreme anti abortion activists vetted and handpicked by a legal society totally opposed to Roe v Wade to the Supreme Court is a much higher chance of Roe v Wade being overturned. I follow plenty of legal commentators who predicted this such as Paul Campos. It was easily foreseeable for those who actually know the court. Just count the votes in Hellerstedt, add in Kennedy’s retirement. https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/6…

It is obvious that his appointments made it possible and he himself has taken credit. We should be morally responsible for the anticipated consequences of our actions, in this case his Fed Soc appointments. But plausible deniability is a part of the strategy - he can hide behind the court and blame them if the heat is turned up.

I’m aware of this but OP is talking way too broadly and outside such data, which is highly contested anyway.

I don’t think women are more homogeneous than men at all. You could easily look at the variety of ways they dress (since you mentioned this) and compare it to men who wear the same hoodie every day.

Well since women take rejection so much better we can all look forward to being asked out by many more of them to show us how it’s done. How did Bumble do with that again?
/r/PurplePillDebate22/09/24 03:12 PM

Easy to say when rejection is much less a part of life for women than men. Norah Vincent is one of the few women I’ve read who seemed to understand this.

For me, the hallmark of entitlement is to expect the other gender to experience rejection more 🤷‍♂️Of course men complain more if they put themselves out there and are rejected more.

If women are the ones doing the divorcing they are obviously rejecting the man (and there may be good reasons). Never seeing a woman arguing out of a breakup is a separate issue and I’ve seen it plenty of times. But, overall, men still experience more rejection. I gave statistics for who initiates divorce and rejects/leaves the other. That leaves breakups. Are you arguing that most breakups are initiated by men?
/r/PurplePillDebate22/09/24 02:37 PM

Women initiate something like 70% of divorces. I just laugh at the idea of a woman never trying to argue out of a breakup as it’s so fantastical. Just a fantasy world.

Men make the first move and deal with rejection more. Fact. They literally had to change Bumble because doing what men do all the time was too much of a “burden” for women. Bumble Changes

This is why I’m giving up and getting closure in my life and putting my affairs in order. Just can’t do this anymore. I can’t take the rejection. And you know who else can’t? Women, who never wanna pursue. So much so that Bumble had to change the way they did things. Ladies: read Norah Vincent’s book if you wanna see what it’s like.

I can’t I’ve given up. At 35 I just feel invisible. Years of working out, meetups, approaches, clubs, OLD and I’ve never been kissed or held or been in a relationship. Partly I think it’s my face which looks odd and a little feminine and partly my legs as I was born very knock kneed (or is it pigeon-toed? My thighs turn in at the hips and my knees and lower leg out) and that’s a huge turnoff. I also have Asperger’s. I’ve tried really hard but have encountered nothing but pain, rejection, laughte…

While there are definitely many different groups of women, and no monoliths, I don’t think 1. addresses the crux of the argument, which is that there is indeed a group of women who say they value one thing but often choose another. Revealed preference, in other words. And this shouldn’t be a surprise- plenty of men do this too. It’s a human thing.
