I used to worship women. I needed them. I felt functionless without them. I even toyed with the idea of the divine woman. I did everything for them, I even altered my reality for them. I believed that the media had this evil agenda that preyed on the insecurity of woman's beauty (still semi-believe this to be true actually), but I just could never believe that women on the whole, as a class of people, were oppressed.

I was sympathetic to and curious about feminism. I wanted to know what they were clamoring about. Surely they wouldn't scream like they do unless shit was serious! I read, investigated and studied feminist literature, sex positivity, hung out with feminists, on feminist boards e.t.c. And I began to accept, without much critical thought, their claims, namely because I liked where it was going... Sluttier women and more sex for me. But as I became wiser, I realized the sluts came at the cost of good women. Now everyone's divorced, and working, birth rates plummeted, and no one's happy! lol.

I became MGTOW shortly after my mind was blown about the realities of feminism, and I began to turn the mirror of empiricism back onto my life and the women in them. I saw all of the same trends in them. I know now why they push for the idea of the divine woman, because I wouldn't have worked so hard for them, if I saw them as equals to my guy friends.

Is my story largely the same for everyone here?
