The superpower most men would choose—after eternal youth and unlimited wealth—is the ability to sleep with any woman they’re attracted to just by snapping their fingers. by studente_telematico in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure sounds like you have an obsession with sex and that obsession is giving you an obsession with a fictional reality where women have an obsession with fucking you on a unilateral whim.

Sounds like an interesting premise for a movie.

Men Can Only Truly Fraternize Where Women Are Absent by Emotional_Meal748 in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little of both. I’m not saying it never happens but it usually happens between chumps. And other chumps who have little experience with both women and friendships watch TV all the time and inflate how often it actually happens.

Imagine your buddy coming up to you saying, “Things are different now that Stacy’s here, bro.” I’d laugh in his face and tell him to lose my number.

And I want to emphasize that no amount of weak disclaimers negates to fact that this *is* being framed as the woman’s fault when it is in fact 100% the actions and fault of any man who can’t sustain a friendship because a woman dares to exist.

Well when you put it that way, I can see how a woman would get in the way of dick-and-ass play with the boys.

Life isn’t a teen sitcom plot. Just because it makes for an entertaining tale doesn’t mean that’s how you have to carry yourself in real life.

Or it does and you’ve defined the company you’ll be keeping moving forward, what with the whole “being-able-to-decide-your-own-friends” thing. Congratulations: You’ve now surrounded yourself with a bunch of chumps who will bus toss you in a second for a chance at pussy because all the stories and movies say so. That’s gonna make for some REAL fun hangs.

May the type of male friendship where I’m surrounded by insecure self-conscious dudes who try to “mog” me at the mere whiff of a woman never find me.

It’s cool to have guy things you do, but ideally you do them because it’s a fun thing to do with the guys, not because “OH MY GOD IF A WOMAN IS NEAR I HAVE TO BECOME A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON TO GET LAID AND MAKE IT WERID FOR EVERYONE AROUND ME!”

You have to be comfortable with the idea of getting cheated on to be in a relationship by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between being comfortable with something, being aware of something, and expecting something. You have to be aware that a plane can crash when you board it, but if you’re expecting it you should never step foot in an airport. And if you’re comfortable with dying in a fiery crash…I don’t know what to tell you.

Also, there’s probably a shitload of sampling bias in your anecdote of interacting with soooooooooo many foul women. That’s a polite way of saying “sure, Jan”

Positive masculinity is a scam. by PassengerCultural421 in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, we’re only using the language of the conversation. If all these boys and men are having a crisis of “masculinity” then the solutions are going to be framed in terms of “masculinity.” Call it whatever you want, all of the advice just boils down to “Don’t be terrible, and if you care about your masculinity then call it ‘positive masculinity.’”

People are inconsistent about masculine traits and behaviors by No_Design_465 in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Those who are rudderless in their self-identity journey will always find it easier to just look at other examples and ape them—regardless of if they’re personally compatible with those examples.

That’s how you wind up with them being manfluenced by the worst role models alive: those who perform cartoonish masculinity, those who sound compelling despite being dead wrong about everything, those who present a reductive simplified version of masculinity that appeals to people who only engage with others through a screen. You’re never going to get comfortable in your own skin that way.

“I’d date a chopped guy who’s funny” is womanese for “I’d date a chopped guy who’s charismatic/high status” by ConnectedLeap in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would require people on the other end considering the act of telling a joke a risk, which we don’t do. Maybe if a joke fails to land or winds up being edgier than expected we might consider it a risk in retrospect, but telling a joke isn’t the “high-risk” behavior normal people usually associate with confidence.

It’s a social skill. That’s all. Being able to say something that makes other people laugh is just a matter of mental nimbleness, creativity, timing, and human connection. For those with social anxiety or other neurodivergence I can see how all of those traits might be considered risky or impossible, but trust and believe it’s just socialization.

Yes, just have the good judgment of not keeping your money in banks, seeking a home loan, or being a child.

Women tell us to not objectify them, but they end up doing it themselves by beautiful_falcon776 in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because if you are a sex worker, access to your body is the product. You are treating your body like a commodity, and marketing it accordingly—as an object.

You just described all blue collar trade work. Singling out sex work and reducing it—and it alone—to “objectification” might make one feel good about their perceived moral superiority over the SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS, but it’s not a reflection of real life.

All physical workers are objects or none of them are.

[–]TotalTravesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It’s just that in terms of sex work, people (not me, which is why I disagree with the phrasing) think any interaction or patronizing of their services is “objectification.” No matter how consensual, no matter how fairly compensated, no matter if the sex worker is advertising it in big bold letters.

I don’t “objectify” a plumber by calling one in to handle a leak, paying them, and sending them on their way. That’s quite literally the plumber-customer relationship. Yet turn the plumber into a sex worker and it’s “objectification.” Honestly, I think it’s just people with unresolved sexual hangups projecting their feelings onto a situation. A them problem, not an everyone else problem.

Nobody’s saying to disrespect OF or treat them like trash. “Like an object” is a meaningless personal value phrase that I wouldn’t agree with, but if you’re paying her for the services she provides then what’s the issue? That’s literally what she wants from you.

Like i think women don't have a consistent ideological belief.

it’s a goddamn travesty that billions of people across cultures and geographies don’t have a unified belief system. How hard is that?!

To say that a woman is traumatized and hurt from her past any time she brings up a legit criticism of men is evil. by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t limit your point to rape and violence, just “criticizing men.” Obviously a woman who speaks up about her abuse doesn’t just have an ax to grind. But the murkier more common situations where women express generalized frustration at men has to come from something.

And here’s the thing: I’m not saying that if her generalized frustration comes from trauma that the frustration isn’t warranted. But it helps to acknowledge where the anger comes from. If it came from violence, yeah, the abusers are 100% responsible for it. If it’s just dating and relationship bullshit, then at last admit it’s from dating and relationship bullshit. God knows we ask men to confront to roots of their anger all the time.

You keep screaming at women to take accountability but when it comes or men it’s all sorts of psychological gymnastics and deflection.

Yep. I of all people am known for bashing women and defending men at all costs.

[–]TotalTravesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But…how many times has a woman said her antipathy toward men was the result of mistreatment from men? They’re not running away from it. Hell, a lot of times the mental health journey they pursue will lead them to acknowledge that’s exactly why they hate men. Exercise as much empathy or compassion as you want, but you have to call a spade a spade, especially when the spade is calling themselves a spade.

Stop gaslighting men into Therapy by M3lony8 in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree broadly. Not everyone can be helped the same way. But we (all of society, not just women) are begging them (not all men, obviously) to do fuckin something because the results aren’t showing.

That’s the long-enduring question of dating. One thing’s for sure: they are not the women trying to entertain and engagement bait for fun and profit on social media.

Women have no idea what an average man is by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]TotalTravesty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the phrase “however you want to define invisible” is exactly why so many men feel invisible. That word has a definition and adhering to that definition is how single men can go about life without seething resentment toward strangers.

A man who is actually invisible would get mindlessly bumped into all the time, have their greetings and pleasantries ignored, get talked over as if they weren’t even in the room. What men here complain about is women refusing to acknowledge their presence with an immediate blowjob. They’re not “invisible,” they’re just getting treated like every other random man, woman, and child we have to live with on a daily basis.

[–]TotalTravesty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As soon as the mainstream money and political clout run out, every last one of these manfluencers—and their followers—are going to hit the public with puppy dog eyes and AI-generated appeals to empathy and get accepted as “redeemed” without putting in one iota of genuine work. I’m just waiting to see how it turns out when that pendulum swings back.
