I know there are different societal pressures and nuances in Japan compared to the West. But I do see a correlation to the Japanese Herbivore men and MGTOW in western nations. The herbivore men seem to be primarily Millennials, and in that context there is a similarity with MGTOW. We know marriage is in freefall amongst millennials in the West. Rapidly declining birth rates, this is happening in the west too. Disenchantment with women and being dis incentivised out of relationships with them.

From small beginnings in the early 2000’s to a simply staggering 60 -70% of 20-30 year old men in Japan now identify as Herbivore men. Is MGTOW in a similar stage in its evolution? With the doubling down of feminism, witch hunts against men, false rape charges, oppressive marital laws, economic stagnation, quotas for women in jobs etc. etc. Are we going to see a similar rise in men opting out of society going forward?
