    The root of the problem is that MGTOW recognizes a lot of issues men face that plenty of people on the left even deny with virulence. Of course, what MGTOW offers as a “solution” is misogyny that only serves to make everyone more miserable, but the young fools who see someone offering them a hand don’t know that, and it’s very rare for them to even hear any alternative narrative that empathizes with their issues.

      So when women go their own way they are lauded and celebrated, but when men do the exact same thing, it’s somehow misogyny??

      You can’t have the exact same strategy be lauded on the one hand and vilified on the other, purely based on the gender of the person implementing that strategy.

      That’s the dictionary definition of gender bigotry, and is at the core of pretty much every reason why men go their own way.

        By “MGTOW” I don’t refer to the literal definition, but what you can find the movement is in practice for the vast majority of their members. A woman who goes through the same thought patterns explicitely because they’re become misandric deserves the same criticism.
