I've been MGTOW for years now but the more I actually analyze it, the more I realize and wonder.
When I graduated high school a year early and went to college, my parents had no money saved for me, told me to go to community college which was a 50 minute drive from the small mountain town I grew up in and never really tried to steer me on a successful course. I enrolled in college, did the commute daily and found a job to support myself. I got a job working repossessed homes in 2007, months before the housing market in California shit out. By 2009 I had roughly 90 college credits, enough to transfer, but decided to start my own business and dropped out. In 2010 I bought my first home and never looked back.
My darling little sister who is 4 years younger than me had my moms full support in college, mom quit her homemaker "job" and got a real job to pay to put my sister through a private high school, then my parents took her all over the state to look for colleges, probably visited 10. She decided on Cal State San Marcos and was forced to drop out after the first year because she couldn't pass the math requirements. Then they put her in a private college, took out student loans, paid the student loans, and supported her the whole way and she graduated with some degree... I still don't know what in, because she switched majors so many times...
Now she works some desk job at State Farm in South Carolina, married some blue pill sucker and hates her job... Me, I own my home in cash now and am looking at being able to retire by 40-45. She lives in a trailer in South Carolina with her husband, and my parents are selling their "dream home" in California to move to South Carolina because my mom can't be away from her precious baby girl... My sister often talks about needing to go back to school to get a teaching credential to switch "careers".... LOL.
It makes me wonder why women are so oppressed these days. I was basically told to go figure it out, while she was coddled and held close the entire way... And with her fancy private college degree, she still can't figure it out, even with mommy moving across the country to be right by her side....
It really is amazing to look back on. My parents bought me a used Honda Civic when I turned 18 and I made that car last 300,000 miles and babied it for 13 years. They bought her a used Prius which she crashed, bought her a Ford Escape which she fucked up and then a Ford Taurus, probably $50K worth of vehicles right there to my $4,500 Civic.... LOL!!!!
It's funny looking back, it really is. The more MGTOW you know, the more you know. That wage and education gap.....

This is a great point. Growing up, my parents were blue collar working class but because of the school I went to, I had lots of friends who were white collar upper class.
I'd go to their houses and there'd be a Volvo plus another car in driveway, their houses were near the beach in a very expensive area, 3x the size of my family's house and the interiors look like something from an architecture magazine.
They went to private camps every summer, they had family cottages, and other trips to Europe and other places, any type of lessons they wanted (some even owned horses) they seemed to have had everything the best given to them. Because of this, they always came across so confident and sure of themselves, and the world seemed to bend around them.
It felt quite hopeless growing up, as I thought to myself that with all their advantages, how successful they were going to be with so many things given to them and how could I even hope to compete.
Today I am a millionaire and these people are the stereotypical low income social justice warriors.

"Earnings gap" not "wage gape". These women just can't earn for shit.
