Thank you I will post what I have when it is clean and edited better. YES defining anything will create division, but that is not my goal. I’d like all to agree. This is what the internet is saying about mgtow at the encyclopedia sire: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Men_Going_Their_Own_Way
Yeah that definition is a little off.
Most if not all posts are poking fun at female tactics, their logic fails, or advising men to avoid the dangers of becoming involved with women.
This is NOT the same as poking fun at a woman for being a woman, just her choices.
This serves to remind men why they chose the MGTOW lifestyle as a fortification against the onslaught of societal pressures on a daily basis.
Some men continually post about women to advise others, while others post to help cement their own feet via feedback. A redundantly condensed nutshell version can be described like this :
This is no different than christian retreats or any other lifestyle choice that requires constant vigil when it remains in conflict with mainstream interests. For example, Christianity is under siege daily by the approval of premarital sex, promiscuity, fitting in, being PC even if it doesn’t align with their own convictions and dogma. These conflicts are found in commercials, TV shows, movies … just about everywhere.
MGTOW users who post to support others are helping new members find their feet via a parallel to the example given above.
This rationalwiki link also defines MGTOW as a strike… which would make it a movement? It’s not a movement, it’s a lifestyle.
Men of MGTOW aren’t avoiding women to punish them, they’re avoiding women so they’re not punished. That’s an important distinction and it is easily misconstrued when threads are created to watch a woman collide with the metaphorical Wall. MGTOW are not saying she hit the wall because they were avoiding her, but that she hit the wall through her own lifestyle choices that lacked serious foresight. To some, it’s a hilarious thing to watch.
Since there is no census concerning the true number of MGTOW, that may not even use the label, it is extremely inaccurate to label this collection of MGTOW as representative of the whole.
As for MGTOW over estimating their own “importance” in matters, it’s really a misnomer. MGTOW is a lifestyle choice, not a religion, not a cult, nothing that requires you login everyday or donate 10% of your monthly earnings. If MGTOW were really so narcissistic, compelled to overreach their own impact, you’d see more stringent rules on membership (as it relates to joining this site). Anyone can use the MGTOW label, there is no grand enforcer, no pope per say, but that doesn’t mean an individual will be taken seriously. For example, it’s difficult to take a married MGTOW seriously, just as it would be difficult to accept an individual that claims to be vegan but eats meat.
As for the MGTOW that may lash out at females that say ridiculous things, this pales in comparison to the SJW and feminazis abound in mainstream society who get away with #killallmen or labeling people racists on a whim. I do not concern myself with safeguarding the MGTOW image by thought policing. MGTOW do not advance a hive agenda towards reaching superiority, rather MGTOW advances an agenda of the individual through advised and carefully planned lifestyle choices.
That’s about all I can type on this without increasing the word count to TLDR/Essay levels. There is plenty of information contained on this site that will help you develop a more well rounded, comprehensive understanding. Good luck.
