I know this thread is a few days old but the comments that have accumulated underneath the article over the last days are really fine to read.
Just a few quotes:
This is “platinum”…

MGTOW saves lives, you idiot. Male suicide is at pandemic proportions. The MGTOW brotherhood is the place where a man learns he is not alone, he is merely one of the tens of millions of men force fed through the legal and social gynocentric sausage grinder. In your feminist utopia world, MGTOW is the battered men’s shelter. Men come here wounded and alone. They find a place to learn and heal. If you have a problem with that, then you are the one with the problem.

The thing is, most men don’t realize it’s a poor relationship choice until AFTER the divorce. As your friend is finding out the hard way.
Your repulsion for the simple fact that a man doesn’t want to be a workhorse for some woman who can take him to the cleaners whenever she feels his usefulness has came to an end is a prime example of why MGTOW exists.

The author misunderstands Mgtow.
Mgtows do not hate women.
They understand them, female nature and behavior.
Mgtows are observant young men too.
They are aware of risks of financial extortion (50% of all marriages fail, 80% of all divorces filed no fault by the wife, court orders for unaudited child support payments to child age 18, and lifetime alimony payments to a work-capable ex-wife that never decline).
They are aware of the risks of emotional annihilation as 90% of all divorces see the father lose custody of his children and is relegated to unenforced visitation 26 times per year on weekends.
They are aware of the risks of irrevocable legal annihilation that follow false rape allegations and even allegations of pedophilia used as a weapon for legal and financial advantage in a civil law system all too ready to destroy him.
These men are aware of what married life is like for husbands too. They see that the other undivorced 50% are not happy campers. They hear what married women say of their husbands.
Most modern day husbands are slaving away at work 50+ hours per week, living a sexless existence, providing resources and security to ungrateful and ungenerous wives.
Why are these men so aware of the risks? Why can’t they see there are some good women out there? Why won’t they try to find them, dat them and marry them?
Because many were raised in broken families by single mothers. They watched their fathers ejected from the house and their lives. They watched their uncles, brothers, cousins, friends and work colleagues destroyed on a female whim as well. 50+ years of a steady diet of misandry has consequences.
It’s no accident that the least venerated, least respected and most openly ridiculed and vilified positions in modern society are none other than husband and father. They are regarded widely by societies as buffoons and pack mules. Who in their right mind wants that job anymore?
The biggest error in this article is asserting Mgtow and feminism are the reverse sides of the same coin.
Feminism is the hatred of men and boys politicized. It is a social and political movement out for total power and authority.
Mgtows have no such political aspirations. Mgtows aren’t going to rallies wearing penis hats and protesting election results. Mgtows do not care or want a return to 1950s traditionalism either.
Theirs is a quiet protest of non-participation and non-contribution.
They will not marry. They will not cohabitate. They will earn enough to support themselves and their hobbie. They have moms, sisters, female co-workers and friends.
They may date and have sex partners of their own volition.
But mgtows understand that current gynocentric political and legal system considers him the enemy. Thankfully that system will soon collapse in on itself under the burden of trillions in national debt from meaningless wars and social program entitlements.
In July of 2018, this honey pot forum was sold out to an unidentified NPC sock puppet and troll organization. Most independent thinkers and writers migrated to other MGTOW forums as a result of the never-ending infighting and deliberate trouble starting caused by members who were given "carte blanche" by the admin to do whatever they want. Before my departure, I only left a few thousand cat pics here to comfort and ridicule the feminist owners who now run this place. Their background agenda is to make MGTOW look like a club of losers the public eye. And during the course of 2019, they actually managed to destroy almost all other MGTOW venues as well. Here is the truth about "theindependentman.org" aka "TIM" which was created as an extended workbench to further divide the community.
