Why is MGTOW hated so much?

Its simple really. if you don't support all feminists movements you are a terrible person. If you support men's movement than you are obviously a terrible person for not working on women's issues first.

I think some people see pushback against men as always justified and pushback against women as always misogyny

Their rigged game doesn't work when the male refuses to play.

People just hate men, so they'll just turn everything you do into some evil thing

soontobesolo · 2025-04-08T19:00:43+00:00

Because (many) women hate it when men don't live for their benefit.

HunterRenegade09 · 2025-04-08T20:30:03+00:00

Because they lose the only power they have over society. Men. Losing control over men is their worst nightmare.

New-Distribution6033 · 2025-04-08T22:28:20+00:00

Because somehow, a guy setting boundaries really bothers society.

Sick-of-you-tbh · 2025-04-08T21:10:27+00:00

Because men having their own agency is considered toxic for some reason.

Late-Hat-9144 · 2025-04-08T22:46:26+00:00

Because these misandrinist femcels can't handle when they can no longer control men.

halcy0n___ · 2025-04-08T23:08:56+00:00

Because it's a men's movement. Literally anything that men do will receive hate if it does not include women.

AnFGhoster · 2025-04-08T21:09:03+00:00

Because it highlight contradictions in feminism and the world it's created. Ideologues hate when the foundation of their ideology are examined and rejected in such a way.

It's also men explicitly rejecting their societal roles as someone else's providers. So for being "selfish" they are to be hated.

henrysmyagent · 2025-04-08T19:42:36+00:00

Because a man who refuses to be a slave to women is a threat.

A man who does not serve women is of no use to a woman, and therefore must be ostracized.

If other beta-man see a man going his own way then they might stop serving women.

Anything that does not directly serve women is automatically a bad thing. (Think passport bros)

Men going their own way are obviously happier, and there is nothing women hate more than men who are happy without a woman causing that happiness. (Sports, video games, guns, collectibles, etc)

I also suspect that most women intuitively understand that they themselves are doing all of the recruiting for MGTOW.

AntiFeministLib · 2025-04-09T12:09:01+00:00

tl;dr women need men more than men need women and anything that prevents female access to men is hated by women.

Because, despite all the "You go girl" and "Women need a man like a fish needs a bicycle" in the majority of relaitonships it's the man that pays the bills, it's the man who fixes the fuse to keep everyting on, it's the man that deals with the electrician and plumbers (who are usually men) and it's the man who ensures the wifi is on, the cars are taxed, mot'd and running.

Despite all the protestations from women about men being awful they all do want a man otherwise they'll have to do the plumbing and electrical engineering themselves. It's much easier to sit on the side lines bitching and blaming patriachy than actually doing.

So MGTOW they don't like because it means they don't get the benefits they want.

It's the same reason why so many women hate porn. If you are trying to control a man, sexually, by using sex to emotionally abuse him then your power is diminished if he can watch any porn that he wants. This is the real reason behind women not liking it (Despite Pornhub showing in some countries (not western) porn watching is split 50/50).

Agile_Scale1913 · 2025-04-09T08:47:19+00:00

Because men aren't allowed to even think about leaving the plantation.

Accomplished-Ice500 · 2025-04-09T10:38:50+00:00

MGTOW is a movement from mostly White American and also African American men. Those men that can afford to leave the US have money. The kind of money that the women who hate it need as their safety nets when they've been reckless and used by the top dudes. It's the same reason why they hate men being dettered from marriage and call them immature and afraid to commit. Also the same reason why men being dettered from dating single mothers is hated and you're labelled as insecure and not man enough. It's all in the same way that participants of the MGTOW movement were labelled as leftover men that no one wanted when it first came to light cuz they noticed an increase in the men going abroad.

Initial_Zebra100 · 2025-04-09T06:10:59+00:00

Because it doesn't actually decenter women.

They say they're not focused on women and then complain all the time about them. That's not decentering.

When someone makes the movement their whole identity, it's weird. 4B included (although that's way more nuanced, South Korea is super misogynistic)

I'm a guy, and I find most mgtow dudes oftentimes insufferable. Do your thing, go your own way. But actually do it. Stop blaming women or feminist.

Criticism is fine. Constructive conversation is fine, not just complaining.

Gonna catch heat probably, but I'm being honest.

Longjumping_Gain_807 · 2025-04-09T04:08:00+00:00

What the fuck acronym is this? I can’t tell you why without knowing what it is

juuglaww · 2025-04-08T23:27:43+00:00

Contrary to the “redpill rage” aspect that many of it s proponents displayed.

Mgtow was hated bc it is a radical ideology. It roots human behavior in gynocentrism.

Kraskter · 2025-04-08T20:06:49+00:00

Because the movement attracted bad people beyond its original purpose. Also, the idea of men’s activism is itself already controversial.

Saber-G1 · 2025-04-08T23:08:37+00:00

Because on paper, it seems like an okay concept, but in practice, there is usually a lot of negativity and sometimes hatred involved.

bluefootedpig · 2025-04-08T19:31:05+00:00

Because many of the MGOTW were part of a desire to return to "men are men and women are women" type roles in society. Women should serve me, and men need to work out and make money.

It is very much putting men and women into very small boxes, boxes that we really shouldn't return to.
