Who is the original founder or the founders of MGTOW?

Mike MgTowers (1897 - 1975) is celebrated to be the original founder. Well versed in many languages, a true master scientist, he achieved many great things. We're all morons compared to him.

Plato

And he also founded rational thought. Coincidence? Nah.

Richard Proenneke is surely a MGTOW of legend. Saw society, saw what women were like, and didn't see a place for him in any of that so he fucked off to Alaska and did things his own way, every day.

The Buddha. His advice about women on his deathbed, in full view of all the gathered disciples: Don't look at them. If you see one, don't talk to her. If she talks to you, be mindful and maintain self-control.

The first generation of MGTOW is obscured in myth, legend, and speculation. But the first text that is undeniably a MGTOW text, written by a MGTOW, was The Book of Zed the Zen Priest.

There are a number of ways to look at this question, but I'll tackle two of them:

Are you merely asking about the guys who came up with the acronym?

Or compiled the philosophy for the modern world?

According to Vice.com

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7bdwyx/inside-the-global-collective-of-straight-male-separatists

Internet dudes, Zen the Zen Priest, Solaris and Ragnar Jensen and Meikyo, are eligible for the credit for MGTOW the acronym. While Zed created the founding document, the essay, Ignoring Women, circa 2002, which can be found on the old No Ma'am website.

What came to be a MGTOW meeting, an off shoot of men's rights movement took place in Hickory, North Carolina.

www.menforjustice.net, which seemingly became www.mgtow.com, according to the Internet Archive

But the MGTOW manifesto seems different from what people call MGTOW today.

Men For Justice's flavor of MGTOW, seemingly, has a date stamp of circa 2006.

The MGTOW manifesto of this time period, a mere 11 or so years ago tastes like undercooked MRA/MRM thought process, and it should, considering its origins as an offshoot of MRA.

On the other hand, the originator of Pick-Up Artistry Monk Mode, Pook, seems to jive more today with what is understood to be MGTOW amongst those who took the redpill. And his take on PUA Monk Mode is circa 2000, on the site.

Someone went out of their way to compile his advice into a book, the Book of Pook.

I think the big question is: what is the fate of Pook, Solaris, Ragnar as of this moment?

Zed, is still entrenched in MRA, and is a friend of Paul Elam.

Seems to me Adam accepted the poisonous fruit from Eve because he trusted somebody other than himself. Coincidentally this other person had a vagina.

If Eve was Steve, Steve would have given Adam a fishing pole that he made from a stick and would have taught himself how to brew beer.

It has always existed. It used to be called "confirmed bachelor" until women and simps in the past appropriated the expression to mean gay.

Even long before that some men realized "the juice wasn't worth the squeeze".
