I've been a mgtow since seeing the pain in my father's eyes when he had to drop me off with our mom. I was bound to be a monk due to things happening before I was born. There in academia as it became more and more regressive, in the courts as they continued to be gynocentric, and in the culture which demonized men more and more over the years.

My Dad's learning is lesson in front of me was just a wakeup call I couldn't understand. Between my parents divorce, where the seed was planted, and starting to explicitly/consciously avoid women many years ago now I was simply a mgtow is repose.

Having a friend accused of rape and seeing his life damaged is just another wake up call.

A rational conclusion is arrived at, not created or decided via preference. It's objective.

The only real choice is to try and make the principled choice... or just not think at all.
