Every now and then someone comes into a mgtow space and says "So what? Just the marry right girl." If they're a woman, they might even throw in an extra, "Yeah I know a lot of women are shit but..." If you think this, this post is for you.
Mgtow at its core is not about divorcing(ba dum tss) ourselves from women, although it is our solution. Shitty women, and there are a lot of them, may be a problem but they are merely a symptom of the real issue, the real reason why men become mgtow, and that is gynocentrism. The implicit bias which causes society to value women over men even when it is irrational and detrimental to do so.
In fact, if there were no gynocentrism, it wouldn't matter how many shitty women were out there because they wouldn't be able to do anything against you. If there were no gynocentrism, a woman who falsely accused you of rape would be expected to provide evidence, but instead people will immediately jump to her aid. You'll be bullied and slandered, you'll receive death threats. Hell you might even end up killing yourself. And if the woman is lying, which could be as high as 40%, the punishment, if any, is almost always a slap on the wrist.
For domestic abuse, even though men are nearly equally as like as women to be victims of abuse, women receive the majority of care. In fact, in Canada only 1 out of the 1800 domestic violence shelters exists for men. The reason for this is because feminist theory says that men use violence to control women. This is the reason why the Duluth Model, the most common domestic violence prevention program in the USA, exists only to help women. In fact if you go to their website, they believe that "battering is a pattern of actions used to intentionally control or dominate an intimate partner and actively works to change societal conditions that support men’s use of tactics of power and control over women."
Because of this shit, feminists got predominant aggressor policies passed which in cases of domestic violence causes the person to be arrested to be based on factors like size and physical strength(Hint: men). In fact, if you're a man being abused by your female partner, you should not call the police because there's 35% chance you'll be ignored, 47% chance you'll be threatened with arrest, and a 21% chance you'll be arrested instead of the woman!(pg 165)
For divorce, well anyone who's spent more than 5 minutes on this sub knows this is suicide. The National Survey of Family Growth say the chance of first time marriage ending in divorce is 43%, . Women are equally likely to initiate a breakup, but are over twice as likely to initiate divorce. The reason for this is simple, they know they'll win. They get child support, primary custody(pg. 1667), and alimony the vast majority of the time and if you're married for more than 10 years before divorce, you might be forced to pay alimony until you die. Even a prenuptial agreement cannot save you because if a judge feels like it they can just throw it out.
In many if not all parts of the world a woman can collect child support from you even if you're not the father. In the USA, all a woman has to do to get child support from you is to put your name on the birth certificate. And even worse, if enough time passes and you don't challenge the paternity, the mother could laugh in your face and tell you you're not the real father, because the government will force you to pay anyway. It doesn't even matter if the woman rapes you and knocks herself up, you could still be required to pay for the kid anyway. In France and Germany, men are not even allowed to get paternity tests without the mother's consent!
So in conclusion, mgtow exists not because shitty women exist, but because shitty women exist and the government and society enables this behavior. We men who are mgtow understand that there's a war against men going on, that men are being crushed under the heels of women and we don't like it. But we also understand that there's nothing we can reasonably do about it. That's why we choose to separate ourselves from gynocentrism, not because we are virgins, not because we hate women, not because we can't be bothered to just "marry the right girl". We are mgtow simply because it is necessary for our own survival.
