For those of you who think that MGTOW is a reaction to modern life, see this video clip (3 min 40 secs) from a 1960 Twilight Zone episode called 'A stop at Willoughby'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HF70gOQimo

The man explains to his wife how he is tired of his demanding job, and wants to live a simplier, stress-free job. His wife, who wants the big house with expensive friends life, is scornful. The man would rather be in Willoughby, a place he has dreams about. He ends up 'going to Willoughby'.

Ignoring the method he uses to go there, substituting 'Willoughby' with 'MGTOW' would make a great episode! 'MGTOW, a place where a man can live his life full-measure.'
