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 -
It seems like the median modern western woman is not so upset about being a whore and more upset about being a concubine.
For those in the back, a concubine is a woman who is sexually exclusive and usually dependent on a man without getting the social privileges of his wife, or a formal wedding... but has identical obligations. Remind you of anything in the modern west? You know, like a recent trend? One with a large happiness gap vs married couples driven largely by female satisfaction?
Most women aren't out there whoring, even if they dress like it. The average partner count is, like, three, and it seems like this is more driven up by a handful of very promiscuous women than it is down by female virgins? But most women in America do suffer from lack of ability to get married- it is the man's job to propose, after all.
Of course coupling is down as well- but part of that is simply that the apps have no economic incentive to actually produce stable long term relationships(an app which simply charges for matchmaking would be both very lindy and solve that problem, of course- but the gods of copybook heading haven't returned sufficiently to fund it). Dating apps which try to produce stable and happy couples go out of business.
What you can do? Well, try to set your single friends up, and that may include some amount of 'well, yeah, you ain't gettin' scarlett johansen who never disagrees with you/Pride and Prejudice is a work of fiction'- and you'd be surprised what people are willing to overlook when you can reassure them this person is not a serial killer. Pressure your cohabiting, or seriously dating, friends, to get married(and if you are a man doing this to male friends you do have a real role to play). If you're cohabiting with someone, change that- for the men, you can just buy a ring(most women would rather a smaller one than none), and for the women... uh, if he won't propose, what exactly are you getting out of it?
I don't think concubines had the obligation to be responsible mothers, did they?
Concubines had identical obligations to wed wives in regards to motherhood. Those obligations are, by today’s standards, not particularly responsible parenting.
