This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
That’s whitepilling and a case for optimism, if there’s a huge amount of Western men out there with some sense of self-respect and self-preservation. Hopefully, this will translate into other aspects of their worldviews in the coming years/decades.
If women’s feelings are valid when they get the ick from short, awkward, or low status men, men’s feelings are valid when they get the ick from single mothers. Men aren’t entitled to sex; women aren’t entitled to relationships. His body; his choice—a single mother already made hers when she had some other man’s kid(s).
Well, insofar as the original point that it's not just women who make the choice regarding fertility goes, QED?
Which original point? For example, I was responding to your comment in isolation and not to, say, @Tree's remark about "There are no highly fertile people, only highly fertile women. Women alone make the decision, not couples," which I didn't read at the time but I went back to find just now.
I wouldn't necessarily agree with that statement by the letter. The world is a big place; I'm sure there there are couples out there where the wife wanted more children but the husband didn't. However, directionally and qualitatively it's true, that women are the gatekeepers of sex and children.
Ironically, though, your anecdote about the women in your friend groups supports @Tree's remark rather than rebuts it. Your single mother acquaintances made their reproductive choices: while they were younger, fresher, and childless, they chose to bear the children of men who preferred not to commit to them and/or the children that resulted. The "huge amount of men," or subset thereof, that would had otherwise come along later and be among the potential pool of suitors had nothing to do with it.
If in my town I put up a used car for sale at the asking price of a new car, and expected the buyer would help payoff loans I secured using the car as collateral when it was new, it wouldn't surprise me if my townspeople didn't see my totally generous offer as adding to the choices available in the town's automobile market, and would at most be interested in taking my car out for a test-drive for their amusement. I'd understand if they preferred to wait for new cars to open up in the marketplace, or opted to continue renting cars, or walking or biking in the meanwhile instead. QED, indeed.
