I’m on board with most of MGTOW, I get it. I let most quibbles with it slide because I think the overall principles are true.

One issue I don’t feel I can leave unaddressed is the issue of children. When you have them you can no longer ‘go your own way’ -you go their way. That meaning, you act in the best interest of your children not yourself.

I’m happy giving part of my pay check to my children’s mother, because it’s good for my kids. I’m happy for my children to live with their mum most of the time, because she’s more present physically than I am (or tbh want to be right now) and frankly a really good parent to them.

The reason for my post is that I wish this sub was slightly more balanced. It’s not the harlequin trite explored in FDS, there is merit to MGTOW that I feel is undermined by some of the more pejorative posts.

Perhaps this post could act as a opportunity for people to post balanced comments, even to praise the women in their lives.
