I have a friend that is a devout MGTOW-RedPill type that thinks I should "take a hard stance" on issues that involve women. #MeToo, marriage, divorce etc. I respond by telling him that I look at these types of issues on a situational and personal basis. He thinks that I don't take hard stances because I like to think about situations critically and if I don't have enough information, I will have no opinion on the matter. Women do lie but men do too. And I can't judge all women by the acts of one individual or a small group. I also try to remind him that his mom and sister(s) are women too and that he's judging them in the same generalization. He also polarizes my opinions and makes me seem to be the opposite of him. If I disagree with a MGTOW point, he labels me a feminist.

What I don't get about this guy is why does has to generalize and assume the worst of women in every situation? Even when the situation doesn't involve him. If you're not going to get married, then why are you so critical of everybody who does get married. Why are you so worried about divorce rates and statistics? Why are you so critical of single mothers? I told him that behind every single mother is a dad that didn't or couldn't stick around. It takes two people to produce a child. She didn't just get herself pregnant by being a "THOT". Males that sleep around are no different from those types of women either yet MGTOW advocates the "hit it and quit it" approach to women. Nearly every argument he makes comes from Coach Greg Adams or some other youtube MGTOW.

I just don't understand that mentality. I do agree that the laws surrounding divorce do need to be updated because it can be unfair to men. My philosophy in life is to take things situation by situation. Patterns of negativity may appear but don't become so jaded that you become bitter and hateful out of it. I do agree that there are trashy women out there. But MGTOW just takes things to a whole different level. If you don't want to marry anyone, don't. Just don't go around moaning and whining about marriage and ruining other people's life experiences with your beliefs.
