This morning I went in and spent about ten minutes making absolutely factual edits to the MGTOW Wikipedia entry. Here's an example of some content I added:
Beyond this general principle, MGTOW lacks any of the other characteristics of a community or political movement, particularly a broader ideology. It has no leaders. It does not endorse or support any political party or positions. There are no requirements for membership. Community members are global, and represent every race, nationality, gender preference and faith tradition. Given all this, MGTOW can be more accurately characterized as a spontaneous leaderless discussion group. The group has self-described as "men going their own way, forging their own identities and paths to self-defined success."
The balance of the article is larded with quotes from feminists, leftists and organizations like the SPLC that describes MGTOW as, among other things, a hate group, basically.
Within ten minutes, all of my edits had been removed, on the grounds that (I think) my edits were biased, did not reflect a neutral point of view, and so on.
Ten minutes.
We obviously have some serious enemies out there, who are very interested in making sure that a public description of MGTOW is as biased, negative, distorted and damaging as possible.
I don't understand Wikipedia well enough to deal with this, and I'm not sure I want to. But if someone who's more familiar with it wants to do something, that's what's up.

Funny how they'll let an outsider define it, but not someone that actually KNOWS, and follows the philosophy. The same way they're trying to stop men from defining themselves. It would be FUN to constantly edit Wikipedia's m.g.t.o.w page just for laughs though.
