This has been a fascinating conversation. Thank you, to those who shared insight. Good luck on your way!

Okay I can definitely see the resistance to being called a movement being related to pigeonholing, that does make sense. And I get that it is a lifestyle, but I disagree that a movement has to be pushing an agenda, or that most people see it as that. Definitely most people in this community, that's been made clear, but outside this community I don't think it holds up. We'll just have to disagree there though because that's damn near impossible to determine. And that's fine, my post wasn't meant …

I'm not bending around anything, I just don't think a movement has to be political or on purpose or pushing an agenda. Just a group of people introducing a different way of looking at things or doing things. I also don't think that it's an uncommon idea of what a movement is. I'm not trying to be argumentative at all, I'm just trying to understand two things 1. Why people in the mgtow community are so insistent that it's not a movement, and 2 how the mgtow community defines a movement. So far I'…

I don't consider that the sole requirement, I would say it has to be based around some idea or philosophy. Like a paradigm shift. When a movement dies away, I don't consider it to be a movement anymore, I would consider it to have been a movement (past tense)

I guess I just don't think an ides has to be "pushed" to be a movement. It just needs to spread, which can be done organically

Isn't a bunch of people doing the same thing and following a similar philosophy a movement?

I'm gonna be real with you and I don't mean this as a jab at mgtow, just an observation as an outsider looking in: this community is the only place I've heard of a movement being defined quite like it is here. It feels a lot like mgtow is attempting to redefine what a movement is for the sake of avoiding some sort of irony related to a movement being a societal thing, whereas mgtow is all about breaking from society. The fact that there not only is an mgtow subreddit, but then an mgtow2 subreddi…

Just saw you edited this. The last line particularly seems like it's a movement. There's a philosophy and an attempt to spread it. I just don't understand how that's not a movement.

I can follow that. I'd call that a grass roots movement, which I'd define as a bunch of people coming to the same conclusion more-or-less independently, and because of the lack of clear leadership up front, the philosophy behind it grows organically.

That description to me sounds more like a cult. Take away the commandments and call them guidelines then allow for followers to have interpretation of their own and if call it a traditional movement. Take away the leaders and let the philosophy spread organically and is call it a grass roots movement. I think I'm coming to the conclusion it's just a difference in how a movement is being defined. I just haven't encountered another group of people who define a movement quite like the mgtow communi…

I would think the connection between them would be simply "going their own way" wouldn't it? So by your (or maybe mgtow in general) definition, a movement should have a shared end goal and not just a common means of reaching that goal? I can definitely see how mgtow is not a cult, which I've seen other people claim it to be, because to me that would be a leader with a strictly defined philosophy and a group of people blindly accepting it.

I don't mean you specifically are butthurt about it, it's just that I've seen several people adamant that it's not a movement and I'm just trying to understand that, because to me if a lifestyle/philosophy is shared by a number of people, I'd consider it a movement until it stagnates or dies off. Thanks for your perspective. Understand I don't mean to be argumentative, I think I just define movement differently than the general mgtow "philosophy" and maybe that's where the disconnect is

I don't see "bachelor" as a movement, but that's just because the idea of being a bachelor isn't growing or changing. It's simply always existed and there isn't necessarily a philosophy associated with it. "Paleo" is labeled as a lifestyle, but I still consider it a movement because it's an idea/philosophy that is spreading and growing.

But wouldn't a growing group of people sharing the same philosophy be a movement? I would consider that a grass roots movement, bring that there is not necessarily a leader, but the philosophy is growing and spreading organically. Seems like a fine line at best. Why are mgtow-ers so opposed to it being called a movement? I've only recently discovered these done and it's like in every other post there's someone seemingly butt-hurt about being called a movement.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
