MGTOW means being the arbiter in your own life?

[IGMOW (I Go My Own Way)Participant 2572]

So, I was debating where to stick this. I am assuming that this is about discussing issues with MGTOW, identity and so on, so I will put it here.  I am thinking of the song The Arbiter from the play Chess.  These lyrics seem very MGTOW to me.  Feel free to comment.  Here is the video:

There is a degree of irony that I didn’t know of the song existing until I saw Todd in the Shadows doing a one hit wonderland video on Blue Swede and “Hooked on a Feeling”.

I will likely post this video elsewhere and ask about it, but from the same album is One Night, and that has a Monk (or scholar) MGTOW vibe to me, the guy who rather engage in mental battle against an opponent than get trapped by carnal lust or other social expectations.   This video:

Ah Chess by Murray Head, brings back memories and yes he is basically saying that all the carnal pleasures of Bangkok

cannot equal the cerebral satisfaction of a good chess game-which is true.

I was going to repost it somewhere else on here, but didn’t find a spot.
