There's another thread here catching fire, where a woman claims her boyfriend essentially ghosted her after discovering MGTOW. If you check the Twitter thread, she and another woman are dissecting MGTOW, and like the vast majority of women they just don't get it.
It prompted me to write this post.
MGTOW is not a group. It is not an organization. It is not a cult. It is a PHILOSOPHY and a LIFESTYLE that can be seamlessly incorporated into a man's life.
MGTOW men are all over the world. We are from many different nations, backgrounds, and socio-economic classes.
We are the next phase of the sexual revolution: just as women have cast off the chains of their "gender roles", we are men who understand how we are viewed by society and culture, and we understand what roles we are expected to play, and now we are REJECTING them.
MGTOW men are anything from high schoolers and college attendees, to drop outs, to tradesmen, to businessmen, to professional artists like myself.
Many of us are divorcees. Many of us are fathers. Many of us have never been married. Many of us have experienced positive relationships with women; I have. Many of us have high notch-counts with women. I have.
Some of us might be virgins. Some of us might be neckbeards. Many of us range from average guys to genetic lottery winners. We are Joe Schmoes and Adonises alike.
We are Liberals, Libertarians, Conservatives, Republicans, everything in between. We transcend racial barriers, but there are also those who choose to form their own sub-groups within their ethnic culture (ig BGS/IBMOR, a branch of the philosophy dedicated to Black men).
We are cultured, we are skilled, we are gamers, we are historians, we are chefs.
We are dog lovers, gun lovers, opera lovers (I am), jazz and hip-hop enthusiasts, chemists, historians.
Many of us are angry. Many of us are resentful. Many of us have been screwed over, in some way--men experiencing these emotions, as well as those who are severely depressed and down on their luck, can turn to this sub for support.
The MGTOW subreddit is one of the only places a man can come to be embraced by those who truly understand his frustrations and his plight. We offer brotherhood, kinship, encouragement and support.
We also offer tough love and criticism when it is warranted; we often disagree on certain matters, we argue.
But at the end of the day, we are MEN who are choosing to live life on our terms, free from societal norms and expectations, and especially free from the expectations of women.
It is often a solitary and lonely path. We understand that most people view us as social lepers. But we hold our freedom and autonomy and personal happiness and safety above all.
We may be happy, we may not be.
But what's most important of all:
We are Free.
And you motherfuckers that hate us can't stand it.
