I think the best way to enter this community is to just ask yourself some serious questions, and try to forget your social programming.

Here's a simple one to start you off.

Given the potential risks and the potential benefits, does it make sense to marry a woman?

Well, let's consider the risks. The marriage could become loveless and cold. You could get divorced and say goodbye to half of the money that you worked for, and say goodbye to your children for more than half of the week. Naturally this puts you at increased risk for suicide.

Not to mention that the time, trouble, and expenses of getting married are your responsibility.

And just what, tell me, are the benefits of getting married? Yes, you could have a multi-decade loving relationship, but what are the odds of that? Are they really higher than the odds of going through a nasty divorce?

And then you have to consider how fucking great single life is. I'm going on a trip to Finland in May for a couple of days, just because I can. I'm fitting this into a budget of $24k a year, and that's not bloody possible if you're someone's meal ticket--I mean, boyfriend.

Read all the stuff in the sidebar...that's why its there

Sounds like you are looking for /r/mensrights

MGTOW is a way of life, r/mensrights is the male rights movement.

The MRM is the macroscopic movement for men's rights. MGTOW is how men live while the system is unequal and while the MRM is almost without influence. There is some overlap (I think both communities are good), but you should know that they're different.

Stick around for a while, and you'll see what MGTOW is about. I think it's great.

I used to be 100% pro-women' movement, and I'm definitely still for equality in every way

Then I really don't think you belong in this forum.

This isn't a "remedial classroom" for people in denial or wet behind the ears; nor is it a "cult deprogramming" forum for people who (as you seem to be) are still embedded in the the "ism" ideologies, and chances are you simply AREN'T going to comprehend much of anything here.

but I think now it's time I learn a bit more about the male rights movement

It's probably long past time you did so... but this is not the place for that: as /u/Flareprime noted, you're looking for one of the many /r/mensrights .

/r/mensrights is thataway

MGTOW is about adjusting the male lifestyle to benefit men as individuals in a social situation that compels them to act against their own interest.
