MGTOW is a modern term for a confirmed bachelor, they do not hate women they just do not wish to have a close personal relationship at this particular moment, this is not set in stone it depends if they meet someone they feel they are compatible with, all these men have done is performed a risk/benefit analysis and decided that marriage/family life is not for them at this time, things can always change. I cannot see why they are seen as a threat.
No. Very different. First, "confirmed bachelor" used to often be a code word for "homosexual man". Second, actual non-homosexual confirmed bachelors DO NOT do the whiny, hostile, "red pill/blue pill" bullshit that MGTOW and similar subhuman losers wallow in.
@derek2017, I get it, you're a loser who couldn't get pussy if you paid for it. So you make up another version of the Little Rascals "He Man Woman Haters' Club".
I've goten laid about 6 times till now, i never pay for anything that has to do with women, the only hate i have for women stems from being treated badly by some of them...
first of all im not a liar, second im beginning to think that you are what you call other people (loser, liar etc) and you're afraid of people calling you that so you do it to them before they do it to you
you are just proving how immature and stupid you are by responding this way! I can prove to you im not a loser and i can show you the 6 women I've slept with, im not an incel, i just dont do long term relationships or marriage!
What I find more bizarre is how obsessed some chicks are with the MIGTOWs. I mean It would be very weird If I gone out of my way all the damn time publicly attacking furries even though they are obviously the scum of the earth and a menace to society. WTF?
I can see it. They gotta tell everyone they're MGTOW, just lik3 vegans and feminists gotta tell everyone what they are.
It's like: "Hi, I'm Eric and I'm MGTOW". "Huh, what's MGTOW?" *proceeds with the explanation* "Yeaaaah I think we're gonna go with someone else for this job, someone who doesn't have some retarded ass views".
I've seen both sides. Guys who are MGTOW and only focus on improving themselves and don't care about women. The other who just sit and whine about women even though they say they don't want to be with women.
The first one is pretty cool and I respect them. The second kind are idiots
Whenever people speak on MGTOW they never unpack any of the MGTOW arguments. You'll just call them names and a hate group but you'll never argue a point. The more truthful you are the more likely people will dismiss it as hate and this is why Trumps approval rating is up.
agreed, people should stop forcing shit down everyone's throat, whether it be feminism, MGTOW, veganism, christianity or anything else for that matter.
@Porcelaine there's 2 people on here i hate, they push christianity down our throats like the thick fucks they are, athiestsaredumb and under_maps_of_twigs
well religious people are like that. some think it's for your own good, they think they are saving you and don't want you to go to hell. still they should realize it's a personal choice
mgtow : native word for "im bored of relationships with women how about i take care of my own life instead?" or more accurately mgtow : native word for "rich succesful guy who has no girlfriend"
I don’t argue with vegans often for that exact reason, all the beans and malnourishment makes them gassy, cranky and double down on their bizarre nonsensical ideologies.
I compare MGTOW with third wave Feminists. Who are in a lot of points stated here, the same as both vegans and MGTOW people

I'm an MGTOW guy. I don't exactly hate women I love my mom and sister a lot. As well as my aunts and cousins. I even have female friends I talk to on Facebook. But besides that I just avoid women. I have Aspergers and I ant even get other guys my age to want to go to a bar and watch a Yankees game with so there is not a snowball's chance in hell I could ever get a girlfriend. I just avoid women because I will always get hurt and creep them out. I am extremely lonely but I am used to it.

Mindless take based on your insecurity towards veganism. The fact you need to bring in veganism as a negative benchmark shows that it's obviously hit a nerve.
Well, aren't you a pathetic little sissy? Why would it MATTER if someone blocked someone? How the FUCK would it harm anyone to be blocked? Wow. You're a total waste of DNA.
I have no issue with those, they do whatever they want to do. But the take owner is right about the behaviour of the majority of them. Claiming to go their own way, but still bitch about women day and night. They are no better than feminists who claim that the air conditioning is sexist.
1) How do you know it is the majority? Maybe it is just the loud minority. 2) Was whining about the opposite gender not that what the feminist movement has been doing since its inception? How come OP only has a problem with MGTOW? (the answer is because OP is a hypocrite). 3) Why would MGTOW have to be better than feminists? The way I see it, an evil on one side can most effectively be eliminated using a proportional evil on the other side. If you want to blame anyone for MGTOW, blame feminism.
@Benedek38, you're too stupid to have read the whole thing, that much is obvious by your own post. Didn't I SPECIFICALLY distinguish between men who happen to have just decided to not pursue relationships with women and the whiny, bitchy, pathetic LOSERS who deserve the label "MGTOW"? Why, yes! Yes, I did.
It's the old saying: "Toss a stone and see which dog squeals."
If you toss stones at dogs, you deserve to have your hands cut off and your balls fed to you raw.
Of course I have read what you wrote. And you specifically compared MGTOW to TOXIC vegans. Meaning you left no leeway for legitimately good men going their own way. And now you even lie about that. How pathetic is that?
@Isten I am not arguing for the sake of arguing, I am arguing because nowadays you cannot put a fucking label on anything without some idiot corrupting it, and some other idiot using it as a buzzword (looking at you OP). I do not care if it is MGTOW, or MRA, or incel, or whatever you name you want to give them. Do you know what I care about?
Equal. Fucking. Rights. And. Opportunities. For. Men. Thats right. And I am tired of people like OP, and now you, diluting the discussion before it has even begun by tainting whatever label the group has chosen. The MRA label was destroyed by feminists throwing shade at MRAs. Now the MGTOW label is destroyed because some uppity boomer age c**t cannot take a few stupid kids commenting MGTOW on Youtube videos. If it annoys you so much, be a voice of reason, a reasonable person campaigning for mens rights. And if you do not want to do that, then just ignore it, and let others do what they have to do to raise awareness, even if their method is sometimes obnoxious
As an MGTOW, as I can see, care to explain to me how seemingly the most members are hateful towards women? See sites like reddit, return of kings, etc. Besides this, what do you achieve by being hostile? What do you achieve by it being a little trend? Feminists, as extreme as they may be, at least voice their opinions. I don't see men doing campaings in order to raise awarness. If I were to tell anyone in real life about MGTOW, I would get the looks! And believe me when I tell you that I hang out with more guys than girls.
@Isten First of all, I am not a MGTOW. I am sympathetic to them, but I deliberately do not take the label because 1) I do not want to be responsible for a community I have no control over. 2) I do not want to possible tarnish the image of said community either. 3) I actually want to have a long term relationship, though I am as red pilled as it gets.
Now to the meat of things.
The most members you see being hateful are usually not actually MGTOW - there is a good video about this, I will link it, but to sum it up - MGTOW is about keeping your value to yourself, but many men go MGTOW before actually having any value or accomplishment. These men do not get anything out of being MGTOW, because they had nothing to lose from dating women. These men are closer to angry incels (again, not every incel is angry, I will show you a guy who is actually very pleasant and intelligent) than actual MGTOWs.
Reddit actually routinely censors and bans MGTOWs. No wonder they are pissed. RoK is a distinctly anti-female site, but it is no more inflamatory than any feminist blog or VICE/Huffpo/Buzzfeed/Jezebel article you can read about men.
What do these people achieve my being hostile? I actually intend to write a take about this, but to keep it short - imagine that you have been sold lies your entire life, that you were stuffed propaganda, and though you always felt it wrong, you could never quite put your finger on what was wrong, or if you did, you were immediately chastised for even thinking about quetioning why things are the way they are - and then someone suddenly pulls the curtain away, and there is Oz the great wizard, manipulating the world, tricking you every step of your way. Would you not feel uncontrollable rage and hatred seeing the mechanisms of your own oppression at work? Especially since you are still powerless against it?
What do men achieve by making MGTOW a trend? Well, what did feminism achieve? The actual, notable changes feminism made are little if at all - but it has brought cultural change. Change where you do not expect it, or deny the existence of it. Example, movies. I have been following movie tropes for a while. Feminism and feminist tropes have been dominating the movie industry for a very long time. And they cover it up with labeling everything as revolutionary - as it it hasn't happened before, as if before this, the dark age of the patriarchy reigned. Long story short, feminism has altered society and the mainstream media (at least in the west), and personally I would be happy of mens rights movements had equal influence. I took the label of egalitarian for a long time, but I realised that taking the moral high ground prevents you from achieving anything.
Feminists voice their opinion yes - and look at what this post is about. MGTOW voicing their opinion. And they get shamed for it. That is the trick. They are doing the same - but they are treated differently.
You do not see campaigns because men realised that won't work. MRAs tried that - but the pull of feminists was too much. And so men interested in equality chose to exploit their only power - their freedom of choice. You can shut down MRA meetings, you can brand them terrorists... but you cannot break passive resistance. You cannot force men to be with women if they do not want to. THAT if why there are no marches.
I promised you a great MGTOW guy to listen to, and a great Incel to listen to. HEre you go: MGTOW guy talking about fake MGTOWs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLstsqnpc8A He has insightful content, I suggest checking out his videos.
While I appreciate and thank you for your long description on the issue, I would like to point out that both MGTOW and MRA movements weren't even acknowledged outside of the far West. I did never hear about MRA's being called "terrorists", or even the existence of MRA's in the world news. Besides this, with your first link, I honestly expected a video showing that not all MGTOW dudes are like the ones you find anonymously calling women sluts, whores, gold diggers and "riding the cock carousel". Furthermore, the video felt a little like he expects women to be full MRA's. While let's say I agree with some issues that they exist, I think I will prioritize my well being (not at the expense of men or any other group, though). That's just human nature, survival 101 if you want to call it that. The other two links are long for this time of day, so I refrain from saying anything.
Of course you haven't heard of them - for one, the MRA movement was destroyed back in the 90s; also, that is the trick. If the movement becomes widely known, it is a lot harder to make people believe that it is a terrorist group. That is why it had to be killed in its infancy. If I may, I would like to show you a clip from the 90s, where an MRA brings perfectly valid points, and feminist women openly humiliate and shame him - that happened decades ago. Do you really think any organisation can survive and grow in an environment this hostile towards it? https://youtu.be/d28usWdvmSg
by the way surprisingly, I find that Hungary is generally speaking quite gender equal, though it does pull somewhat in womens favour. But certainly gender relations are better here than in the west, so neither the feminist, nor the MRA movement had any serious roots here.
The man you see in the video put you off for a simple reason, and he caught me off guard initially too. He is a proud man. He does not try to compromise, as MRAs have done - he chose to go his own way, and does not accept women, unless they fit his standards to a T. That is called MGTOW. THAT is MGTOW. Defiance in the eyes of societal expectations, and sticking to your standards, not giving an inch.
"While let's say I agree with some issues that they exist, I think I will prioritize my well being (not at the expense of men or any other group, though). That's just human nature, survival 101 if you want to call it that."
Fair enough. But then know that you are feeding into a gynocentric system. And if you do not support mens rights, then do not hinder it. Which is exactly what you did in your origina comment. I am not saying you are either a friend or an enemy - you can stay neutral. But then do not expect anything from men, and do not take the side of the opposition. The feminist movement and womens empowerment has reached the level where it directly infringes on mens rights. IF you have a spine, do not support it!
I prefer to remain neutral and support causes (rather than movements) that I think need to be supported. I will speak up about false rape allegations if needed (remember, Eastern Europe, here doesn't happen anything). I will also speak up about blaming the victim in the same situation (i. e "she wore a miniskirt").
And I don't know what I should "expect from men"? 🤔
"And I don't know what I should "expect from men"?" Well, for one, nothing. But while we are at it - no compassion. No help. No love. I do not know if you know the meaning of gynocentrism - it is basically the idea that a womans life is worth more than that of a man. And many men were fed this lie by society. Without wanting to go into detail, DO NOT expect female privilege of any kind from men, and denounce it if you get it. Otherwise you are feeding the mechanism of male oppression that was built on mens protective and selfless nature.
I have to admit, I do not care about slutshaming and victim blaming. I am a product of feminism - I am a misogynist. I have zero sympathy for women. In fact in a rape case I am less likely to believe her, because she is a woman. Is that cruel? Yes. Unjust? Yes. But I blamed myself too long, tried to change too long, all the while the world was bashing me over the head with how toxic I was. Well, no more. I despise women with every organ of my body. I know this might make you think wow, this guy is nuts - but think about how you would feel in my place, your sex and your virtues ever invalidated, your values constantly trashed and shat on - how long would you try to stay on the good side?
I don't expect men to do anything of those things, but I appreciate if they do. And honestly, I didn't hear the "a woman's life is worth more than a man's". Men just shy away from speaking up about their issues because they fear being judged, which is wrong.
This is going to be my brief personal experience, not about anything with a working vagina. I was bullied for most of my life. And guess the sex of my bullies? That's right: guys. Even a half year ago I was targeted by a group of guys to make themselves feel stronger by "defeating" the loner, nerd chick. Now do I hate everything with XY chromosomes because of my past experiences? Nope. I've been degraded, made fun of, you name it in my childhood by guys mostly, and still like men for who they are. They are individuals, not a group of one dimensional beings who share exactly the same values.
I do not really care for shaming tactics. I have my reason to hate women, and I do not need you to approve my feelings. For the record, you are doing what every other woman does when they hear I am a woman hater - they try to convince me that it is a bad thing, because it hurts their ego that there is someone out there that hates them.
And by the way I do not care about bullying. I do not even care about lived experiences, though I had negative ones with women. I care about the fucked up, twisted, illogical thought process and mind games of women. I absolutely hate it. I hate how you think. I hate how you are always dishonest and you try to be diplomatic, and get your way by being nice and manipulating people when you are losing an argument, but when you sense blood, you are like vultures on a carcass. It is not that I have had bad experiences with women - I have never met or talked to a woman who wasn't a shitty human being. You are free to prove me wrong, but the odds are against you. And yes, that includes my own mother and sister - they are as much instinctive, superficial, emotional, selfish and egocentric pricks as any other woman I know.
And unlike men, women are not individuals. They almost always follow the herd. They always conform. They never experience true loneliness. They never work to improve themselves, but instead accept handouts from men around them. PROVE ME WRONG IF YOU CAN. When was the last time you were single for more than 2 years, without friends, without support, without emotional validation, and you still endured? Most female friends of mine couldnt take being alone for more than 2 years - every woman I am close friends with have cheated on their partner at some point, and tried to sell it as normal to me.
Eh, I am running circles. Point is - you are free to prove me wrong, but until then, I hate every last woman in the entire galaxy, because they are all like that.
@Benedek38, awwwwwwwwwww, baby want his bottle? You're pathetic. It's not the world's fault that you are stupid and weak. It is very obvious from your blathering that you need THERAPY, probably medication, too.
the fact that we dont eat "MEAT" doesn't mean that we haven't eaten before, it was just expired and not tasty at all so we threw it in the garbage...(you see what i did there? no? okay...)
Another parallel is that in the same way vegans don't go near meat in their whole life, MGTOW members will never go near a pussy in their lifespan, lol
and when it doesn't kill you it usually consumes you, haunts you, sends people to harm you and turns the justice system against you. so yea we got extremely legit reasons to never go near a pussy otherwise it would shorten our LIFESPAN
okay? now why would I give a damn about reproducing?
reproducing nowadays is worst than a life sentence. as I mentioned earlier I dont want to shorten my lifespan going through stress and drama while wasting all of my hard earning through child support, alimony, etc. hell a lot of the most intelligent folks in history did not reproduced and could all that be a coincidence?
@Louisefr You can ask me questions. I understand the movement well.
It’s about men choosing to avoid women so that the can fully indulge in man-cave like hobbies. Usually they are sent over the edge by a straw that breaks the camels’ back.
They decide at some point that no benefit of any female companionship in any form including sexual or emotional is worth it any longer.
at least those guys got a lot of shit done and made their dreams come true. they didn't waste all their lives taking care of a fucking family that did nothing but consume them to their graves.
so I think I rather be miserable and be at peace while living my dream life then to be miserable and not get shit done while having other consume me slowly
OMG this hilarious! I just came to the conclusion yesterday that MGTOWs are just like vegans. So I googled to see if anyone else noticed the parallels. And here you are. Vegans and MGTOWs are both “protesting too much” they both really wanna eat some meat!

I’m not MGTOW but I can’t help but notice that this is take/article has Hasty generalizations, ad hominems and straw men all in one
@Herelbe If i were MGTOW I would have said so. You however exhibit behaviors of a white knight. It’s kind of ironic how you claim that MGTOWs insult those who don’t agree with them yet here you are calling those who disagree with you as “MGTOW”.
Awww, you are SO CUTE! Whight-knighting for MGTOW! Of course, since you're a coward, you hide behind the "anonymous" tag. So, you're a cowardly white knight.
why is mgtow such a bad thing? we just rejected you no need to feel so down about not having men in your life anymore! you caused this!!! with your behaviour!!! no matter how much you hate mgtow it all comes back to you! you need to stop blaming other people for your mistakes and start looking inside yourself and ask yourself "have i cheated?", "have i ever behaved bad to a man?", "have i ever took a mans money after divorce?" this way you'll see that its not us that need to change but you!!!
I got to love those dudes, they take themselves out of the dating pool so women can focus on the better men like me, fuck I wish more men took up that mtgows thing to remove even more competition
Lol I view it that way too. They're saving me and other women the hassle of being with a jerk by taking themselves out of the dating pool. They make it easier to distinguish who the better men are
But I loved the MyTake! Perfect way of describing this, even down to the metaphor
Similar to my view of gay rights... please don't try to pray the gay away or fake being straight pretending with a fine chick... go suck those dicks, and more pussy for me.
Yeah but the average MGTOW would probably smash you girlfriend just to show you she is self centered. A MGTOW monk or a Incel seems to be what was described here in this take.

no i believe what he said is 100% true!!
he = bolverk*
@derek2017, well, isn't that cute? One idiot agrees with another idiot.
you curse too much and prove nothing except for your own stupidity...
@derek2017, I get it, you're a loser who couldn't get pussy if you paid for it. So you make up another version of the Little Rascals "He Man Woman Haters' Club".
I've goten laid about 6 times till now, i never pay for anything that has to do with women, the only hate i have for women stems from being treated badly by some of them...

@derek2017, awwwwwwww, how CUTE, the pathetic little waste of DNA is pretending to be a therapist. MGTOW == loser.
you are just proving how immature and stupid you are by responding this way! I can prove to you im not a loser and i can show you the 6 women I've slept with, im not an incel, i just dont do long term relationships or marriage!
@derek2017, my, but you're a defensive little butthurtista.
okay i should reply the way other guys replied to you to stop bothering them, nothing interesting here, just an old man cursing at people!

Vegan: Native word for bad hunter
Mgtow: native word for “can’t talk to women”.
Yeah, you're a good hunter when you hunt your cheeseburger down at Mcdonalds lmao
@Havaנגילה The hunt for lose change is real.
mgtow : native word for "im bored of relationships with women how about i take care of my own life instead?"
or more accurately mgtow : native word for "rich succesful guy who has no girlfriend"
Dude you are so angry go have something to eat because you may just be hungry.
I don’t argue with vegans often for that exact reason, all the beans and malnourishment makes them gassy, cranky and double down on their bizarre nonsensical ideologies.
im not vegan though...
Nothing is tastier than a big burger in front of those assholes

I prefer a huge steak... mmmmm, so good.

Hiding it because I guarantee someone who's clearly as triggered as you would block anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Well, aren't you a pathetic little sissy? Why would it MATTER if someone blocked someone? How the FUCK would it harm anyone to be blocked? Wow. You're a total waste of DNA.
It doesn't, but I prevented it. Little man.
Do you think he will ever understand that blocking somebody isn't about harming someone, it's about silencing opposing voices?
@Giggletr0n Haha, that's a very good question
From now on, MGTOWs shall be called "the vegans of sexuality". 😂
The first Hungarian I see around here, and she hates men. Great.
I don't hate men, I hate dumb people. 🤷♀️
But why would men be dumb just for taking their lives into their own hand?

The most members you see being hateful are usually not actually MGTOW - there is a good video about this, I will link it, but to sum it up - MGTOW is about keeping your value to yourself, but many men go MGTOW before actually having any value or accomplishment. These men do not get anything out of being MGTOW, because they had nothing to lose from dating women. These men are closer to angry incels (again, not every incel is angry, I will show you a guy who is actually very pleasant and intelligent) than actual MGTOWs.
Reddit actually routinely censors and bans MGTOWs. No wonder they are pissed.
RoK is a distinctly anti-female site, but it is no more inflamatory than any feminist blog or VICE/Huffpo/Buzzfeed/Jezebel article you can read about men.
What do these people achieve my being hostile? I actually intend to write a take about this, but to keep it short - imagine that you have been sold lies your entire life, that you were stuffed propaganda, and though you always felt it wrong, you could never quite put your finger on what was wrong, or if you did, you were immediately chastised for even thinking about quetioning why things are the way they are - and then someone suddenly pulls the curtain away, and there is Oz the great wizard, manipulating the world, tricking you every step of your way. Would you not feel uncontrollable rage and hatred seeing the mechanisms of your own oppression at work? Especially since you are still powerless against it?
[continued]
What do men achieve by making MGTOW a trend? Well, what did feminism achieve? The actual, notable changes feminism made are little if at all - but it has brought cultural change. Change where you do not expect it, or deny the existence of it.
Example, movies. I have been following movie tropes for a while. Feminism and feminist tropes have been dominating the movie industry for a very long time. And they cover it up with labeling everything as revolutionary - as it it hasn't happened before, as if before this, the dark age of the patriarchy reigned.
Long story short, feminism has altered society and the mainstream media (at least in the west), and personally I would be happy of mens rights movements had equal influence.
I took the label of egalitarian for a long time, but I realised that taking the moral high ground prevents you from achieving anything.
Feminists voice their opinion yes - and look at what this post is about. MGTOW voicing their opinion. And they get shamed for it. That is the trick. They are doing the same - but they are treated differently.
You do not see campaigns because men realised that won't work. MRAs tried that - but the pull of feminists was too much. And so men interested in equality chose to exploit their only power - their freedom of choice. You can shut down MRA meetings, you can brand them terrorists... but you cannot break passive resistance. You cannot force men to be with women if they do not want to. THAT if why there are no marches.
I promised you a great MGTOW guy to listen to, and a great Incel to listen to. HEre you go:

He has insightful content, I suggest checking out his videos.

And to top it off, here is an independant creator with other great insights into the issue:

While I appreciate and thank you for your long description on the issue, I would like to point out that both MGTOW and MRA movements weren't even acknowledged outside of the far West. I did never hear about MRA's being called "terrorists", or even the existence of MRA's in the world news.
Besides this, with your first link, I honestly expected a video showing that not all MGTOW dudes are like the ones you find anonymously calling women sluts, whores, gold diggers and "riding the cock carousel". Furthermore, the video felt a little like he expects women to be full MRA's. While let's say I agree with some issues that they exist, I think I will prioritize my well being (not at the expense of men or any other group, though). That's just human nature, survival 101 if you want to call it that.
The other two links are long for this time of day, so I refrain from saying anything.
Of course you haven't heard of them - for one, the MRA movement was destroyed back in the 90s; also, that is the trick. If the movement becomes widely known, it is a lot harder to make people believe that it is a terrorist group. That is why it had to be killed in its infancy.
If I may, I would like to show you a clip from the 90s, where an MRA brings perfectly valid points, and feminist women openly humiliate and shame him - that happened decades ago. Do you really think any organisation can survive and grow in an environment this hostile towards it?

by the way surprisingly, I find that Hungary is generally speaking quite gender equal, though it does pull somewhat in womens favour. But certainly gender relations are better here than in the west, so neither the feminist, nor the MRA movement had any serious roots here.
The man you see in the video put you off for a simple reason, and he caught me off guard initially too.
He is a proud man. He does not try to compromise, as MRAs have done - he chose to go his own way, and does not accept women, unless they fit his standards to a T. That is called MGTOW. THAT is MGTOW. Defiance in the eyes of societal expectations, and sticking to your standards, not giving an inch.
"While let's say I agree with some issues that they exist, I think I will prioritize my well being (not at the expense of men or any other group, though). That's just human nature, survival 101 if you want to call it that."
Fair enough. But then know that you are feeding into a gynocentric system. And if you do not support mens rights, then do not hinder it. Which is exactly what you did in your origina comment.
I am not saying you are either a friend or an enemy - you can stay neutral. But then do not expect anything from men, and do not take the side of the opposition. The feminist movement and womens empowerment has reached the level where it directly infringes on mens rights. IF you have a spine, do not support it!
I prefer to remain neutral and support causes (rather than movements) that I think need to be supported. I will speak up about false rape allegations if needed (remember, Eastern Europe, here doesn't happen anything). I will also speak up about blaming the victim in the same situation (i. e "she wore a miniskirt").
And I don't know what I should "expect from men"? 🤔
"And I don't know what I should "expect from men"?"
Well, for one, nothing. But while we are at it - no compassion. No help. No love. I do not know if you know the meaning of gynocentrism - it is basically the idea that a womans life is worth more than that of a man. And many men were fed this lie by society.
Without wanting to go into detail, DO NOT expect female privilege of any kind from men, and denounce it if you get it. Otherwise you are feeding the mechanism of male oppression that was built on mens protective and selfless nature.
I have to admit, I do not care about slutshaming and victim blaming. I am a product of feminism - I am a misogynist. I have zero sympathy for women. In fact in a rape case I am less likely to believe her, because she is a woman. Is that cruel? Yes. Unjust? Yes. But I blamed myself too long, tried to change too long, all the while the world was bashing me over the head with how toxic I was. Well, no more. I despise women with every organ of my body. I know this might make you think wow, this guy is nuts - but think about how you would feel in my place, your sex and your virtues ever invalidated, your values constantly trashed and shat on - how long would you try to stay on the good side?
I don't expect men to do anything of those things, but I appreciate if they do. And honestly, I didn't hear the "a woman's life is worth more than a man's". Men just shy away from speaking up about their issues because they fear being judged, which is wrong.
This is going to be my brief personal experience, not about anything with a working vagina. I was bullied for most of my life. And guess the sex of my bullies? That's right: guys. Even a half year ago I was targeted by a group of guys to make themselves feel stronger by "defeating" the loner, nerd chick. Now do I hate everything with XY chromosomes because of my past experiences? Nope. I've been degraded, made fun of, you name it in my childhood by guys mostly, and still like men for who they are. They are individuals, not a group of one dimensional beings who share exactly the same values.
I do not really care for shaming tactics. I have my reason to hate women, and I do not need you to approve my feelings. For the record, you are doing what every other woman does when they hear I am a woman hater - they try to convince me that it is a bad thing, because it hurts their ego that there is someone out there that hates them.
And by the way I do not care about bullying. I do not even care about lived experiences, though I had negative ones with women. I care about the fucked up, twisted, illogical thought process and mind games of women. I absolutely hate it. I hate how you think. I hate how you are always dishonest and you try to be diplomatic, and get your way by being nice and manipulating people when you are losing an argument, but when you sense blood, you are like vultures on a carcass.
It is not that I have had bad experiences with women - I have never met or talked to a woman who wasn't a shitty human being. You are free to prove me wrong, but the odds are against you. And yes, that includes my own mother and sister - they are as much instinctive, superficial, emotional, selfish and egocentric pricks as any other woman I know.
And unlike men, women are not individuals. They almost always follow the herd. They always conform. They never experience true loneliness. They never work to improve themselves, but instead accept handouts from men around them. PROVE ME WRONG IF YOU CAN. When was the last time you were single for more than 2 years, without friends, without support, without emotional validation, and you still endured? Most female friends of mine couldnt take being alone for more than 2 years - every woman I am close friends with have cheated on their partner at some point, and tried to sell it as normal to me.
Eh, I am running circles. Point is - you are free to prove me wrong, but until then, I hate every last woman in the entire galaxy, because they are all like that.
@Benedek38, awwwwwwwwwww, baby want his bottle? You're pathetic. It's not the world's fault that you are stupid and weak. It is very obvious from your blathering that you need THERAPY, probably medication, too.
the fact that we dont eat "MEAT" doesn't mean that we haven't eaten before, it was just expired and not tasty at all so we threw it in the garbage...(you see what i did there? no? okay...)
Well, I cannot say I completely understand the intentions of the group, I know two things:
I love meat as food.
And I love women as people.
So neither one of those you describe would I care much for...
Another parallel is that in the same way vegans don't go near meat in their whole life, MGTOW members will never go near a pussy in their lifespan, lol
Exactly, that's the point of Mgtow.
rapper Lloyd Banks once said in a song
"Pussy kills more niggas then a liquor store"
and when it doesn't kill you it usually consumes you, haunts you, sends people to harm you and turns the justice system against you. so yea we got extremely legit reasons to never go near a pussy otherwise it would shorten our LIFESPAN
@CasaNorba except that without a pussy you can't reproduce. So once you die, there's no living person is a descendent of you.
Who gives a shit about descendants? All the women on here care too much about having kids. Mgtow's don't give a shit about that.
@UI_Vegeta01 Was there a specific incident that led you to become an mgtow?
Nope. It's my choice. I have seen other men getting fucked over though.
@UI_Vegeta01 Do you think men get fucked over more/less/equal to women?
Why are you interviewing me?
@UI_Vegeta01 I'm just curious, is there something wrong with that?
Yes, don't ask me questions.
okay? now why would I give a damn about reproducing?
reproducing nowadays is worst than a life sentence. as I mentioned earlier I dont want to shorten my lifespan going through stress and drama while wasting all of my hard earning through child support, alimony, etc. hell a lot of the most intelligent folks in history did not reproduced and could all that be a coincidence?
@CasaNorba True, but a lot of the most intelligent people ever were also completely miserable.
@Louisefr You can ask me questions. I understand the movement well.
It’s about men choosing to avoid women so that the can fully indulge in man-cave like hobbies. Usually they are sent over the edge by a straw that breaks the camels’ back.
They decide at some point that no benefit of any female companionship in any form including sexual or emotional is worth it any longer.
who isn't miserable nowadays?
at least those guys got a lot of shit done and made their dreams come true. they didn't waste all their lives taking care of a fucking family that did nothing but consume them to their graves.
so I think I rather be miserable and be at peace while living my dream life then to be miserable and not get shit done while having other consume me slowly
meh..
That's not been my experience with MGTOW or Vegans..
You're too stupid to have actually read the essay, aren't you?
nah I read it. I've just had different life experiences than you, but I guess you are waay to fucking stupid to get that.
Yeah, I can see what you're up to. You toddle along, you poor little butthurt thing.
projection much..
Thank you for proving my point. Why ARE you whight-knighting for MGTOW, anyway?
uh.. what?
All of these acronym stereotype labels nowadays are seriously making my head spin off backwards... shit, I need some Advil🤕🤕
Nah, just find your pals and share some liquor.
OMG this hilarious! I just came to the conclusion yesterday that MGTOWs are just like vegans. So I googled to see if anyone else noticed the parallels. And here you are. Vegans and MGTOWs are both “protesting too much” they both really wanna eat some meat!
I’m not MGTOW but I can’t help but notice that this is take/article has Hasty generalizations, ad hominems and straw men all in one
A lot of philosophical terms
Bullshit, you're MGTOW and you're being a coward about it, loser.
@Herelbe If i were MGTOW I would have said so. You however exhibit behaviors of a white knight. It’s kind of ironic how you claim that MGTOWs insult those who don’t agree with them yet here you are calling those who disagree with you as “MGTOW”.
Awww, you are SO CUTE! Whight-knighting for MGTOW! Of course, since you're a coward, you hide behind the "anonymous" tag. So, you're a cowardly white knight.
Do you even know what a white Knight is? Nowadays it’s just another name for a “male feminist”.
OP: I guess fallacies are like pokemon: gotta catch 'em all.
Okay... but some vegans are okay though, unlike them...
You didn't bother to read the essay, did you, stupid?
@Herelbe You sure you're not a woman hater?
I'm just saying I don't agree with your opinion of vegans. Actually, some vegans are kind and respectful and don't deserve to be compared to MGTOW.
He did try to point out that he was talking about the vegans who are assholes at the start of his rant not the ones who aren't assholes
why is mgtow such a bad thing? we just rejected you no need to feel so down about not having men in your life anymore! you caused this!!! with your behaviour!!! no matter how much you hate mgtow it all comes back to you! you need to stop blaming other people for your mistakes and start looking inside yourself and ask yourself "have i cheated?", "have i ever behaved bad to a man?", "have i ever took a mans money after divorce?" this way you'll see that its not us that need to change but you!!!
I got to love those dudes, they take themselves out of the dating pool so women can focus on the better men like me, fuck I wish more men took up that mtgows thing to remove even more competition
Lol I view it that way too. They're saving me and other women the hassle of being with a jerk by taking themselves out of the dating pool. They make it easier to distinguish who the better men are
But I loved the MyTake! Perfect way of describing this, even down to the metaphor
Similar to my view of gay rights... please don't try to pray the gay away or fake being straight pretending with a fine chick... go suck those dicks, and more pussy for me.
Yeah but the average MGTOW would probably smash you girlfriend just to show you she is self centered. A MGTOW monk or a Incel seems to be what was described here in this take.
dude if you gotta state your worth then you're worth nothing!! alpha males dont brag!!
