Philosophy Now Forum

This is something of a radical idea, but I thought I would put it out there nonetheless. Supposedly, males, at least in the eyes of women, can potentially be defined as one of two types - one who provides "things", but has no romantic or biological appeal whatsoever, and one who provides r...

I didn't; my bad, it was on the first page of threads though.

And that is your opinion. This thread's a lot of melodrama, how are you linking a private business telling someone they can't wear a T-shirt to a "matriarchy" (whatever that is). I am not, I am stating feminism is dying in the face of transgenderism. As far as history goes, I'm not aware ...

I don't particularly like to complain, but I think this forum has basically degenerated too much; for example, we a thread here where someone is actually defending "child rape" as no big deal, and comparing it to being "rejected" on a dating site; or possibly asserting that child...

I am a social injustice warrior, I am the true Christ of society. I don't hate all women, but I hate the selfish and psychopathic attitude of many American women. You've yet to demonstrate why such a thing is necessarily "American"; I honestly believe too often this is based on overly-&qu...

It is a philosophy forum. If you do not want an articulated thought or opinion about some subject then you are barking up the wrong tree. My opinion is that it's a private establishment. And that is your opinion. This thread's a lot of melodrama, how are you linking a private business telling someo...

Hypothetically, if one had the opportunity to do one, or the other, for example: 1. Focus on mature career, hobbies, personal goals, life pursuits, higher-level philanthropy and other ambitions: 2. Waste countless hours on an opportunity to "vote" once every 4-8 years for a candidate who i...

You're asking me what its value and utility is when it's done right? I'm asking everybody. If you have a view of that, of course you can say it. Given that marriages and familes are a part of society, but certainly not everything nor the entirety of a mature, thinking man or woman's accomplishments...

Regardless, I believe that marriage or relationships as an institution have the potential to be oppressive... Anything has "the potential to be oppressive." The question is not the abuse of the institution, but it's right use . For it is not obvious that a marriage relationship must degen...

Marriage of two people is legalized slavery, disguised as love.

Can you explain that one?

If it's consensual, and the couple can divorce or separate, how is it "slavery"?

Before I address any of your arguments, I need you to be aware that the concern of abuses BY these people calling themselves, "Incels", is absurdly a trivial concern compared to the problems that occur on the opposite end of the spectrum. Those who abuse are more often those who normally ...

I wouldn't argue against it as a universal rule, (e.x. that no one should marry, particularily if out of some childish sexual resentment rather than sound reasoning) as that would be nihilistic. Regardless, I believe that marriage or relationships as an institution have the potential to be oppressiv...

Not to mention, there are plenty of people who don't care about "society" or even understanding the complex entity which "society" even is to begin with (whatever childly simplistic and bad approxmations of "society" they have to begin with; it being made up of many ind...

This is NOT about me, you stupid fuck! You introduced this arrogant thread to which I am responding only. Whatever, regardless you are very emotionally invested in it. Why? Because I empathize for these people as victims of some social factors that many are BLIND to notice. The fact that society to...

This is NOT about me, you stupid fuck! You introduced this arrogant thread to which I am responding only. Whatever, regardless you are very emotionally invested in it. Why? I CLEARLY expressed that the problem is NOT ABOUT SEX, you idiot. And yet you keep thinking I am supporting this view or that ...
