"When Men have Had Enough"- Explaining Japan's Herbivore Culture

I like the femsplanation of a Herbivore's choices as being those of an asexual coward, because they're not fitting into the mould of Japanese Salaryman.

Well, good on them for not bending to society's whims, despite massive pessimism and outright hostility.

My understanding is that tons of Japanese women are also turning away from relationships, so I don't believe this is as much of a "man strike" as gets bandied about in the manosphere.

Also, it is a delusional fantasy to think MGTOWs are "punishing" women. Women will simply look down on MGTOWs, spin the hamster, and keep doing what they are doing.

I am an MGTOW but men should do it for themselves. Not live in some dreamworld that women are going to change in reaction.

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting.

I suspect I may have been a herbivore man all my life without knowing.

Seems to me that herbivore men are just individuals that refuse to conform to the high standards that are placed on Japanese men. The rat-race in Japan is particular competitive and unforgiving. With the Japanese economy the way it is, and women now expected to be career oriented, it seems evermore untenable that men will land high paying careers. This doesn't seem like any great mysterious phenomenon to me: it seems like economics. Yet, these men are derided as being effeminate, ineffectual losers that should change their ways.
