I found out that one of their girlfriends is a big time feminist so he’s kind of swayed. The other just takes for granted women’s entitlement. I would still like to maintain a friendship with them as this aside we get along and the last thing I want to do is preach, glad to respond to anything they ask of my beliefs with logic but can’t help but feel the relationships are different now. Any tips, personal experience or advice on how to rise above this

People don’t like their reality tested but are happy to self delude themselves again as long as their not being prodded with a stick.

Sometimes going you own way means you shouldn’t give a s~~~ what anybody thinks so keep your thoughts to yourself like in many other areas of life.

The one part of Going Your OWN Way.

I don’t know I you heard of the high profile rape incident that happened in New Delhi back in 2012. It was a shocking incident but the public reaction was even more shocking. The was a vile wave of man hatred everywhere. Womens groups and celebs calling out for castration for anyone accused of rape, no trail necessary. On Facebook I had friends who posted pics of a gory public execution of a rapist in Lebanon with hash tags #THISISWHATSHOULDHAPPENTOARAPIST. I protested about this saying how can you judge someone for a brutal act when you yourself are condoning another. I got all the flak. Some called me a rape apologist, some male chauvinist pig, others patriarchal misogynist etc.

Now these guys were all very close friends whom I’ve known for years. It just took a slight influence of feminist to turn them into my worst enemies. Then I though, these guys are lost. There is absolutely nothing I can do to change them. There is no real cure for a tumor except a surgery. So I decided to remove all those tumors from my life. Unfriended nearly 250+ people that night. Now I’m down to just 15 guys some of whom even if are blue pilled can’t help concurring to some of the MGTOW posts I make there. I just basically use Fb as a news media for updates so it doesn’t bother me.

How much fun is it to hang out with a bunch of people where you have to watch what you say? Now I’m not saying drop them like they’re hot, but this will come up again…. and again, and again. Real friends let you be YOU, not what they want you to be.

Life is too long to play by someone elses rules....

Thanks again people 🙂 🙂

I came to the conclusion that I only talked to maybe 3 people out of 300+ I had on my list. What is the point? If friends/family want to talk to me, I am a phone call away. I feel 100 times better not having facebook or any of those bulls~~~ sites. It is a waste of time. Plus I couldn’t stand the constant annoying updates from most of the women on there. It was constant pictures of babies and slogans about living life to the fullest blah blah. Not to mention the constant pro feminism posts which made me cringe.

I stick to my position. I don’t rub it in, but I don’t back down either. They’ll decide if they want to be around me or not.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

I was only 20 when I got rid of mine in 2012 despite all the pressure from my peers. I realised that not only was I wasting a tremendous amount of time reading/looking at things I didn’t care about, but that there was not benefits in boosting other people’s egos, mostly women, in being forced to like their pictures and what not,

When I made this account last night, I was scratching my head as to why anyone would want to link their forums account to a facebook/twitter/google profile. Online social platforms are the last place you want to share information that might be seen as ‘radical’… especially if it doesn’t fit the female agenda. It kinda sucks to be honest, because social medias are a great way to quickly spread an idea. There’s always someone out there on your friendlist who’s bored to death and just waiting for something interesting to pop on his screen. And considering that this movement is using an acronym instead of something <span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>horribly generic</span><span style=”line-height: 1.5;”> like Men Rights Activism, you can bet that it’ll pique the curiosity of younger generations like me. </span>

If you want to talk about it with your male friends, you might aswell do it in private. Otherwise, expect to receive some backslash from the female keyboard warriors and their army of whiteknights. One day we’ll get to shout from rooftops but I don’t think that time has come yet, sadly.
