Like any middle aged man I spent a bit of time contemplating the MGTOW "philosophy".

It seems kind of endearing at first. Hey, this is a group of men who have apparently sworn off the shackles of society, giving a big middle finger to the family court system, and living lives for themselves. They've managed to conquer biological urges, and in turn, achieved an anxiety-free state of mind that adolescent men could only dream of.

Well, at least thats what they lead you to believe.

The truth is that the MGTOW "movement" (but don't call it a movement, because despite the fact that it fits the very definition of a movement, you're not allowed to call it that) is nothing more than a group of angry men who have been betrayed by those they thought they loved.

That's right. So much for the conquering of their own innate biological impulses. Anger, right up there with fear, is one of the most primitive emotions one can succumb to.

Just look at the MGTOW sub on Reddit. A majority of the content is a straight up carbon copy of the "female dating strategy" sub with the genders reversed. Hypocrisy at it's finest. A group of men who constantly complain about the opposite sex find it objectionable when the opposite sex generalizes them solely based on their gender.

Oh you want more irony? How about the fact that they constantly claim that women are malleable. They are just brainwashed by society. These same men will tell you that these easily manipulated women can't be manipulated into doing what they want in a relationship.

More irony; these men claim that women constantly make the "wrong choices". This usually involves fornicating with males who they deem inadequate, or "Chads". The same argument could be made for most of these men who are divorced or went through bad breakups. Divorce/breakups are probably the #1 way men find out about MGTOW. You could definitely say that the reason they went through divorces or bad breakups is because of poor decisions they made themselves.

For the record, I'm not angry at "MGTOWers" (or whatever they call themselves), I simply pity them. They've chosen to live a life full of resentment and loneliness because they had a bad experience. I've noticed a common trait of the MGTOW man is to put oneself so high on a pedestal that no woman could possibly possess the perfection deemed necessary to please them.

Here's a gem to wrap this up. The MGTOW men often find the phrase "who hurt you" objectionable. The funny part is, as I mentioned before, the main reason men stumble upon this lifestyle is because they were, in fact, hurt by women.

I may be considered a "cuck" by MGTOW standards, but at least my entire genetic line which dates back billions of years will not be removed from existence because I can't handle the fact that "girls want a man with 6 inches, 6 feet, and 6 figures". Which is also hilarious given that this constitutes the overwhelming minority of men and there are plenty of men who happily grow old with a female partner despite having one or less of these traits.
