I’m 15, a month away from 16. Started this account to post here. Never really been into socialization, but just wanted to get it out there. Swallowed the redpill at 14 when I researched gender issues in school, and found that women are the privileged sex, and men are undervaled, underrepresented, and legally, financially and socially fucked over. I’ve always thought of myself as logical and attempted to bring this up multiple times in class, as I used to think that school was about harnessing practical and open-minded thinking, and generally learning all sorts of things. No one want to hear it of course. I only swallowed the redpill at the time, so I hadn’t digested it and let it fully in. Dated a girl for about six months, got ‘oneitis’. She screwed me over and never treated me equally, only as a servant and a shoulder to cry on. That pushed me into the anger phase, but I got over it quickly and shunned her. Classic Gen Z story. Raised by mother, dad never home. Didn’t know he was my dad until I was told in words at 8, when they divorced. (maybe I was just dense). Redpilled in all ways except when it came to women. Taught me to hunt, fish. Learned how to fight (taekwondo black belt, though basically useless except for basic blocks, and punching technique. Practice the basic stuff when I’m alone). He was an abusive fuck though, mentally and emotionally. Didn’t love me, just wanted to mold me so I wouldn’t make him look bad. Still, he taught me how to be self reliant, as I was the main male role model to the others. Taught myself how to haggle, deal with bullies, think critically, and debate, and give no slack when it came to others trying to manipulate social standards against me, among many other things, so he was more my biological father than my ‘dad’. I started MGTOW because it is tactically the best option for men these days, not to get screwed over. Sometimes TRP has some stuff, about holding frame in social situations, and disarming social power plays, but otherwise it’s bound to get me screwed over in life. Too much pandering to women. Anyways. I’ve been in monk mode ever since I turned 15. Researched self defense, and noticed that most times if you harm someone during self defense it can screw you over in court. So Gracie Jiujitsu works for that. I love it, and I’ve always been into martial arts. Primarily though I’ve always looked like my jock type dad, but been a complete nerd. I read a lot of science, and am a philosophy nut. Never really liked socializing as I’ve told you so. Not the ideal son for my father. But, I just wanted to get my story out there. I notice that all of you are guys as well, so I’m not gonna be running into some ‘men are the privileged sex’ bs. And I hope I can get more learning about being a man from MGTOW and MGTOW people than society. Thanks for hearing me out.
