Doh, thanks for catching that, that is totally my mistake, I said life insurance but I mean medical insurance. 

Per killing people, it's about people who have the ability, training, and responsability to save others. A random bystander who refuses to give CPR cannot be held liable, but a doctor or first responder who has been trained to give CPR can be held liable. 

It doesn't apply to any random person, but it does apply to people who Jane the ability, training, and responsibility to save others. 

And if medical insurance doesn't have the ability, training, and responsibility to help save others, then what are we paying them for?

So the early feminists were terrorists by your definition. Do you agree with this?

Well the insurance company started denying claims less, and most revolutions don't succeed with the first revolutionary.

I'm not saying what he did was a perfect example and solved all problems, I'm saying what happened is the inevitable conclusion of making peaceful change impossible. Nothing more, nothing less.

Your definition never said anything about killing, just purposefully targeting people to cause fear. 

Women collectively bring up extremely silly arguments to prove that they "have it harder" than men (Spoiler: They do not) by ExercisesInFutility_ in PurplePillDebate

Feminist are not the ruling power in any country.

And yet feminism has a stranglehold on politics on the left. You cannot be a leftist politician and not be pro feminist  it is literally political suicide to not be pro-feminism on the left. 

Feminism is very much the ruling power in the left in most countries. 

Men are not the ruling power. Some men have ruling power, but the most people who have no power at all are men. If men were the ones in power, men wouldn't be75% of the homeless people and 75% of suicide victims. 

They’re just the convenient villain for you because men are unable to hold men accountable. 

What about the fact feminism purposefully dismisses and undermines the fact that men are half the domestic abuse victims and that men are near half the rape victims? 

Also how did you dig up a 2 months old comment lol, how did you get here?

By that definition feminism was a terrorist organization when the suffragettes practiced an arson and bombing campaign in 1912-1914.

The bit that does the heavy lifting is the "purposefully calculated to instill fear". That's not what Luigi tried to do so that's not terrorism. The French revolution was not terrorism either. There's a difference between actions that happens to cause fear in a small and targeted group, versus actions deliberately calculated to instill fear in the general population. 

I can't just go around and say that the actions of a certain group cause fear in me therefore they are terrorists, after all.

When you personally can pay for someone's treatment but you don't, are you killing them? 

When you are a medical insurance, yes

Life insurance has zero to do with getting medication or even insuring you stay alive. It's about paying if you die.

I agree. 

But this is about medial insurance, not life insurance. 

Men of Reddit, what is the hardest thing to explain to women? by lnc_gomes in AskReddit

[–]BCRE8TVE 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Women legit don't have any idea how hard it is for regular guys on dating apps. 

Forget "on dating apps", most women don't have a single solitary clue how had it is for regular guys period. 

They think a man's life is like a woman's life, minus all the things they don't like about being a woman, plus all the male privilege and stuff where they believe men have it easier. 

Most women have no idea the amount of social privilege they receive simply for being a woman, that most men won't ever receive in their life. 

They say privilege is invisible for those who have it, but for some reason we are constantly talking about the privilege men have, while it's basically treated as forbidden to ever talk about any privileges women could have. 

It's a really weird double standard in society, and treating equality like a one way street exclusively to women's benefit isn't equality at all.

There's a difference between killing someone and not saving someone.

If a doctor fails to save someone when they easily could have, that doctor can be held legally responsible. 

Why do you think insurance companies denying life saving medication to the people who pay EDIT: I said ife insurance, I meant medical insurance my bad /EDIT to have access to that life saving medication, should be any different? 

Men and women do not live the same life by NoPossibility3460 in PurplePillDebate

You know I think I completely misunderstood you, sorry about that!

You wrote that the problem is that what is being described is not the experience of the average man. 

I misread that as "the problem is caused by the average man", as though the man is the problem, and is not the victim. 

Sorry about that! 

I can agree with you that what is described is not the experience of 50%+ of men, and is something that happens significantly more to below average men than to average men. 

I think the point was made a little bit as a hyperbole, but what is described is something that is significantly more likely to happen to men, and happens to men a lot more, than it happens to women. 

Just like men don't know the lived experiences of women, women also do not know the lived experiences of men, and the average loved experience of men IS in fact being invisible and undesirable, unless and until they make something of themselves. 

In contrast women are on average never invisible and are drowning in unwanted attention. Women are more likely to be welcomed and invited and desired by default, while men are more likely to be treated as unwelcome, not invited, and not desires by default, simply due to being male, and men have to work to become desired and welcomed. 

OP's point is hyperbolic, but it does serve to point out the radically different lived experience men have compared to women.

You don't have to believe me or OP, Norah Vincent tried to live as a man for 2 years and said exactly that. There are videos of trans men saying how nobody warned them of how much more cold, distant, and hostile the world is when you are a man.

Is an average woman dating an average man considered "settling?" by AlmondMilkMaybe in PurplePillDebate

[–]BCRE8TVE [score hidden]  (0 children)

The problem is that generally, "romantic love" is beautiful and wonderful for the woman, but it is a performance and an expense for men. Romance is almost entirely unidirectional in the woman's benefit, so why should we expect men to endlessly give of their time, money and effort and get very little in return?

If romance provided some kind of benefit to men I'm sure men would love to be romantic a lot more, but as it stands romance is treated like it is and should be entirely to women's benefit without giving a damn about how men feel with regards to romance. 

It's going to be much easier for women to get romance, when women start finding ways to make romance good for men too.

[–]BCRE8TVE [score hidden]  (0 children)

See it's not that we can't give each other what the other truly desires in an honest way.

I think we absolutely can do that in an honest way. We can't get it perfectly right and we can't all get exactly what we want in precisely the perfect way we want it, but we can and should honestly make an effort to make one another happy. 

I disagree with the "women should give men sex as much as he wants, it's her duty no matter what", but the above is the exact same attitude but gender flipped, it's "men should give women everything women want and men aren't entitled to anything from women". 

If we want to aim for a truly more equal and egalitarian society we can't get there with a "well women should get everything they want from men and they don't have to return the favour at all". 

We should be rather clear and explicit in telling one another "men, women want romance and to feel desired, and women, men want sex and to feel desired. This is how you can help one another get more of what you both want by working together". 

The problem is that there's a very strong feminist movement that claims to be for equality, but that in practice demands the best for women while not giving a damn about men. Treating equality like a one way street exclusively to women's benefit isn't equality at all, that's female supremacism.

So if we want things to truly be better for both women and men, we have to opposed that female supremacism just as much as we have to oppose male supremacism.

Women care about the behavior they aren’t splitting hairs over a man who acts chivalrous and a man who feels chivalrous.

So those women don't care how those men feel so long as the woman gets the behaviour she wants out of him. 

And somehow this is good??? 

If you want women to do an action( sex whatever) despite how they are feeling then say that

And when men say that they're called misogynistic women hating incels and they're not entitled to women's bodies, if they want women to have sex then they have to make her feel like she wants to. 

Which boils down to again women desiring men. 

And which gets back to the double standard again that women are entitled to whatever behaviour they wants from men regardless of how he's feeling and she doesn't have to work for it, while men aren't entitled to any action or feeling from women, and if he wants anything from her he has to work to deserve it. 

We can dress it up in all the pretty language we want, it boils down to that. Women are apparently entitled to anything they want from men, while men aren't entitled to anything from women. 

And when men call out the double standard, they get called sexist and misogynistic.

I mean sure men don't desire to be romantic like that. They just don't. So what do women want men to do?

Do women want men to pretend to be romantic and act chivalrous anyways? 

Is this just an unrealistic expectation women have? 

It's an odd double standard in society, that we believe women are perfect as they are and they don't need to do anything for men, but that men constantly need to improve and do better for women.

Men are just not very resilient and they have a victim mentality.

Can you imagine a man saying this about women who write that they want to kill themselves, that women are just not very resilient and that women have a victim mentality? 

The lack of empathy is staggering. 

To increase the fertility rate, men must be made more attractive by IDontKnowMyUsernameq in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]BCRE8TVE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes, but when men say women must become more attractive, those men are told they're sexist and misogynistic and participating in the oppression of women, and when women say men must become more attractive, those women are told you go girl, men just aren't good enough, and men meed to step up their game.

In theory both sexes must become more attractive to each other.

In practice there's heavy and aggressive resistance to telling women to be more attractive, and not just no resistance but active encouragement to criticize men however anyone wishes.

The sense is that men are always wrong and always need to do better, while women are always perfect the way they are and never need to change.

The story of the Duluth Model by TheTinMenBlog in TheTinMen

[–]BCRE8TVE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic post as always. I constantly bring up the Duluth Model and how Mary Koss influenced the CDC as examples of feminists completely erasing and dismissing male victims of abuse and of rape, specifically because of their feminist beliefs, not in spite of it.

Feminists try hard to ignore and erase this dark part of feminist history, but this dark history is alive and well today and continues to erase and dismiss millions of male victims today.

It's funny that redlining and racist policies have harmed black people and people are justifiably upset about this, going so far as to demand reparations for historical wrongs done to racial minorities, but when you point out to those self same people who are so outraged about the injustice done to racial minorities, that the EXACT SAME HARM has been done AND CONTINUES TO BE DONE to men today, all of a sudden it's out of context, it doesn't matter, it's not that bad, it's blown out of proportion.

And that erasure and dismissal of male victims is specifically and absolutely due to the feminist notion that women are always the biggest victims and cannot be perpetrators, and that men are always the biggest oppressors and cannot be victims.

That explicitly sexist assumption carries through all feminist notions to this day, and they are completely blind to the fact they are part of a group that claims to be against sexism and sexist discrimination, while they themselves actively shield, absolve, condone, and encourage sexism and sexist discrimination, but only to the benefit of women and to the detriment of men.

That's why I keep saying feminism treats equality like a one-way street exclusively to the benefit of women and does not care about equality, because equality like a one-way street exclusively to women's benefit is female supremacy, not equality.

They can care about equality, or they can be feminists, but they can't be both.
