Someone's pissed that we're not buying into her (their) bullshit any more.

I have yet to see any piece of feminist writing that go beyond the bottom two levels of Graham's hierarchy of disagreement.

chillmonkey88 · 2015-03-26T07:20:40+00:00

So, she missed the point... also might be one of the worst pre meditated attacks on mgtow I've ever seen.

First for not understanding mgtow in her preface...

Second for using the typical feminist/white knight lingo - "basement dwelling loser that can't get laid" or "pouty man child that won't find a woman because none will bend at whim to worship him probably can't get laid"

Third are those stupid shaming recipes... as if men still enjoy women that can cook - I haven't met many that I don't cook if I go out on a date and take her back to my place.

Finally what is with people that think mgtows can't go out with women on their own terms? As if we can't utilize game to fulfill sexual need? Or if we find a nawalt we can't date? I think people are missing the point of we won't marry or cohabitate or actively utilize our precious time on earth towards pursuing and utilizing our resources for women i.e. - buy drinks, dinner, moving in together, services, family courts, ect.

I do enjoy women... but will not support one or a system of backwards gender roles where women have all of the power to demolish a man through a system that profits off it. There's no need when you can get that shit for free... the price for pussy is so low it's practically free.

Question - does anyone else have articles out there that try to diss or bash mgtow? I'm curious how many others ones miss the point of understanding mgtow or do they simply lump us together with the rest of the manosphere and then straw man then shame?

Extensive use of sarcasm is a sign of someone who has lost an argument on rational basis and is trying to win on emotion.

2015-03-26T04:32:06+00:00

Lol what a stupid bitch.

BleauGumms · 2015-03-26T12:19:59+00:00

Man those are some pissy bitches over there. They keep on high fiving each other on how awesome they are and how pathetic MGTOWs are...and they keep repeating it, with each new iteration more vitriolic than the last!

Yeh, they "don't care". Right, bitches.

pbnfluff · 2015-03-26T16:53:44+00:00

Bring on the hate, Amanda! I love it!

paracog · 2015-03-26T06:47:35+00:00

Not even a straw man...she's just tossing straw around in a barn. How much of a loser do you have to be to try to belittle someone as their back recedes.

mindhawk · 2015-03-26T15:58:21+00:00

anyone who uses the term loser is at the cro magnon level of spirituality and/or mental development

people kill themselves because they get trapped in thoughts like that

and in our system its rich wall/k street suits that are the only winners, and they are the ones fucking up the entire system

jk rowling was a loser before she got published, show me one artist who is any good who wasnt once a loser

th people i see winning in entertainment lose their freedom and become mouthpieces for propoganda, this just isnt a framework where winning is worth much. thinking otherwise is so naive and trying to shame us from that perspective is actually pretty amusing.

im like go find your winner then get back to me ten years after the wedding night, the only way shell find freedom is with the money she gets pawning her diamonds, but that also will trap her because she does not know how to think

Blackest_Knight · 2015-03-26T20:31:12+00:00

Amanda is just butt hurt that her name contains the word "man" in it.

mr_throwz · 2015-03-26T11:58:35+00:00

the whole “men going their own way” subset of “men’s rights activists”

Honestly, after reading some MGTOW literature, I don't really get the "MRA" vibe from them.

MGTOWers are striking out on their own, swearing up and down that women will be sorry to lose their manly presence. Any day now. They are going to be so sorry.

Google searches of "MGTOW" do bring up a lot of angry articles from women. Something's going on there...

Anyway, part of the whole thing is learning to cook for yourself, which is supposed to be a Big Deal, because women will supposedly be weeping at the loss of an opportunity to cook for them.

I've been involved with three women who knew how to cook. And they were all from SE Asia.

he baked his chicken until it was a rubbery, tasteless mess.

Hmmm, I bake my chicken at 400 for about an hour... it usually comes out divine. I guess this proves the point that American women can't cook, huh?

Rest of the article was TL;DR.

My question is: If MGTOWs are just losers who they don't want anyway... then why are there so many angry articles written by women on the subject?

Foxhunterlives · 2015-03-26T13:15:02+00:00

Easy. Betas feel better about themselves after going MGTOW. Woman cant have that.

TFCNU · 2015-03-26T15:57:38+00:00

AVFM is embarrassing. Who cooks chicken breasts from frozen? Defrost that shit first.

TheRealMouseRat · 2015-03-26T18:28:52+00:00

So, people are noticing and getting angry at the fact that many men are going their own way. That's great!

2015-03-26T04:20:13+00:00

What a weak, pathetic, laughable, and sad piece of garbage of an article this is.

2015-03-26T14:36:20+00:00

Whatever, honey. Why does it bother you so much that I don't want you, if I'm such a loser?

2015-03-26T15:33:37+00:00

he baked his chicken until it was a rubbery, tasteless mess.

Yea, women never do this. Oh wait...

2015-03-26T14:22:54+00:00

Da_Wall · 2015-03-26T14:41:51+00:00

Feminuts getting mad and resorting to sophomoric insults is proof that MGTOW is working and is affecting them negatively.

2015-03-26T15:35:38+00:00

There is some serious bullshit in that article and in the comment section as well.

Her attitude is a fine example of why Men opt out.

Dark_Shroud · 2015-03-27T00:07:38+00:00

Hmm I think Al Bundy has some thoughts here.

Talk about the underbelly of the internet...

BloatedMilkJuggs · 2015-03-26T18:19:56+00:00

What an uneducated cunt. She obviously doesn't know what MGTOW is, and didn't take the time to read about it before writing this horrendous article.

She's also obviously angry that she can't find someone and now that there are less guy's willing to put up with her shit her chances are dwindling to nothing.

2015-03-27T07:42:04+00:00

Do I hear some desperation in her incoherent rambling?

Also:

Why Do I Have To Wash My Ass Sauce

Ingredients: Manly nuts. You may leave the hair on.

Assemble nuts in sweatpants. Stew in own juices for a minimum of 96 hours. Fart as desired. Spend the time commenting in great negative detail on any picture of a woman that isn't a perfect 10.

Run your hand along the bottom of the nuts. If you can't get your hand closer than 12 inches to your nose without gagging, it's done.

this is the featured comment? What?

2015-03-27T19:00:00+00:00

I was wondering about why this bitch's name bothered me and then i watched Thunderf00t's most recent video in which she basically comes out and says that it's irrelevant that the Rollingstone/UVA gangrape story is fake because it's real. o.O

Yenta jew

Amanduh_Marcunt · 2015-03-26T14:46:59+00:00

I demand royalty from each of you who dare to even so much as quote me or I will sue your privileged patriarchical ass!

Also, worship me because I am WOMAN! Oh, but only if you are handsome. Women don't like unattractive admirers.
