I'm sick and tired of reading through countless pages of written hatred towards MGTOW. I'm disgusted by the amount of videos calling us idiots or "pathetic weasels". I want to have this conversation once and for all and get it done with. Please, share all your insights and advice, I want to know the truth, and so does everyone else.

Through all what I've read there is something that struck me down to my core and I hated it. It basically said that we MGOTW are the male version of feminism. Is it true? Are we just a bunch of guys gathering around and hating on women? Because I've seen a fair amount of posts on this subreddit that would prove that point. But is that one of our principles? I highly doubt that.

Furthermore while reading the arguments on the opposite side I have come across a conclusion written by many, which is that most of us have been hurt by women, and as a defense mechanism we automatically hate all women and go our own way. I can't lie, this definitely hits close to home, I have been hurt by women and rejected multiple times (not as bad as the men who went through the shit storm during their divorces etc ..) and I can't lie and say that this isn't what led me to MGTOW in the beginning.

There is also a lot of articles saying that we are biased in picking our sources and facts, to turn them in our favor so to speak. Which I completely understand, every camp of ideology does this, but doesn't that mean that there are good and successful marriages out there? Where a woman helps a man build his empire instead of stealing from him everything?

But what shocked me the most, is that there are boys as young as 15, that have decided to go MGTOW. Why would you at such a young age, decide to do that?

I don't get what's happening. Are there really no "good" women out there? Is there not a single one? If the argument that All Women Are The Same is true, then is it not fair to say All the men are the same? Which disgustingly reminds me of what 14 year old girls who had just broken with their boyfriends go tell their friends. Are we not better than them?

Now there is the other side of the conversation which says that the legal system is corrupt, and MGTOW is sort of a retaliation or awakening of the matter. I love this, and fully support it, and hope that the legal system would finally treat men fairly.

As final idea, I would like to discuss this: Are we bound to live a life of solitude? Do you not want to have kids? Do you not want to teach your sons values and principles that you have held so dear? Is that such an impossible concept for us?

Unfortunately I have witnessed and talked to a few men that have been single and decided to go their own way (never married, never got in a relationship that lasted more than a few months..) they seem happy, like cool uncles, but under all that they are lonely, drinking away their problems and reading "sophisticated" books telling themselves that they've done the right thing. And their friends? Almost all married. Granted, probably unhappy, but it seems to me that these are two extremes, is there no middle?

Thank you for reading all the way through, your input is much needed and appreciated.
