What do you think of the MGTOW social justice movement? I would like to hear people's thoughts on why the movement even exists in the first place and so forth. They are very anti LGBT (or so they would have me believe [spoiler]wink wink[/spoiler]) so I was wondering what your thoughts were.
I think they have a really stupid and pretentious website layout
Also wouldn't it just make logical sense for a "fuck women" movement to go gay? Are they seriously just planning on staying celibate?
>>5430840
It's the male version of political lesbians.
>>5430813
Just angry manlets
>>5430840
Most (all) of them tend to be damaged and upset by unsatisfying relationships with women. The site is essentially a hugbox for men who are going through divorces or are upset because of a nasty relationship.
Imagine a son and dad talking to one another about girls. The boy is sad that the girl he asked out didn't like him. The dad replies, "Ah, son, all women are the same haha!".
Now imagine those boys all grew up and took that statement 100% literally.
They aren't all repressed homosexuals or something, but when you browse their forums you hear a lot of:
"This woman did X so all women do X, im sick of the modern female".
>>5430813
I had to look it up
It's hilarious, thank you
>>5430840
But to answer your question, yes. Yes they are. The ultimate goal is to completely disconnect yourself from modern society because it has women in it.
>>5430904
If there is one thing I hate, its the sort of people who are clearly misandrist or misogynistic, but they will NEVER EVER admit to being such a thing.
It's yet another Jew trick designed to sow discord between men and women so our race dies out.

>>5430914
These people are a sufficient small proportion of the population that you can afford them the luxury of your contempt and amusement.
>>5430813
I think it's pretty silly, they claim they're trying to be independent of women but their whole movement basically revolves around women one way or the other. So basically, they're no more independent from women than the average straight guy - only they whine about women instead of having sex with them.
>>5431002
In being part of the movement, they let women dominate their lives even more than they thought it did before.
Why are these people so afraid of women and themselves?
mgtow isnt a social justice movement because theyre all misogynists
As a dude who'd been struggling with separating his self-esteem from female validation for years, MGTOW was super interesting to me. At first it was pretty much just a support group with some philosophy mixed in, but the message was pretty clear.
Take a step back from society when it gets too much for you, learn who you are before trying to find someone who will love you, and above all learn to be comfortable with yourself so that your happiness is never reliant on another person. You're not a broken person just because you function differently from what society expects from you.
Then when I come back from my self-imposed isolation as a much happier person, I find that the MGTOW label had absorbed all the shitty run-off from the MRA and redpill circles, essentially just becoming an echo chamber for damaged men to complain about women all day, rather than focus on self-improvement.
>>5431016
>Why are these people so afraid of women and themselves?
When you grow up convinced that your worth as a human being is determined by what women think of you, to the point of seriously considering suicide if you go too long without romantic validation, it's hardly unreasonable to be afraid of the person who unknowingly holds your well being in their hands, and yourself for being such a weak willed fuck.
I had never had a bad experience with women personally, my circumstances were mostly caused by introversion and neglect, but I can sympathize with some of the stories I heard, to an extent.
I have been MGTOW for many years and I transitioned to be my own girlfriend. I no longer need women when I have my own breasts to touch.
>>5431135
this is the funniest thing ive heard all day
>>5431123

Is this really a common attitude people have?
While I don't necessarily agree with feminism, MRA is nuts. As perverse as its become now, feminists fought for equality, while many MRA groups are severely misguided if not outright misogynist. There really are some issues men should campaign for however. The US is one of the few major western countries that don't offer our paternity leave for newborns, and divorce and child custody still tend to favor mothers. But these guys Will never champion for those.
>>5430813
I think it's something that doesn't actually require a movement. If you're fed up with women and don't feel like getting into relationships, then don't get into relationships. Countless men the world over fuck around and don't put down roots without having to start a support group about how much they don't like giving women power over them.
I kind of view it like having a movement for Atheism. It seems like it kind of defeats the purpose.
>>5431295
>I kind of view it like having a movement for Atheism.
That would have sense in certain countries, or like 200 years ago, as an instrument against oppression. I can't think of anywhere or anywhen a men's rights movement makes sense.
>>5431327
>I can't think of anywhere or anywhen a men's rights movement makes sense.
Why is that? There are serious issues that men face that deserve to have attention drawn to them, and feminism is clearly not equipped to do so--nor should they be expected to do so, for that matter. Suicide rates, workplace death rates, male rape victims, the current "kangaroo court" college climate, the increasingly lopsided-in-favor-of-women education system, prison rape culture, overall male disposability... The list goes on.
Now, if you use that movement as a vehicle to gripe about women instead of talking about and working on solutions to the aforementioned problems, then yeah, that's shitty. But that doesn't mean that such a movement isn't needed.

FANTASTIC ADVICE
>>5430813
I don't think they are anti LGBT.
I used to identify as MGTOW before I turned gay.
I think it is good to define your own reasons to pursue life rather than follow 'the script' so to speak.
>>5430813
I think guys who self-identify as MGTOW are fucking autists who don't realize that in defining themselves by their avoidance of women that are again basing their own worth on women. It's called "Men Going Their Own Way" and then all it is is a series of female teardowns. Nothing about actually being independent of women, nothing that shows the worth of a man in any context except in relation to their biased portrayals of women.
I avoid most women too, but it's not a movement or a statement. I don't put a name on it. It doesn't have rules or codes. I don't recruit and I don't preach unless solicited for my opinions. It does stem from a long string of unsatisfying experiences with women, but I see it as something that causes me disappointment more than anger. The realization that I couldn't truly be happy based on anything but my own satisfaction with my life. For me it really is about defining my own worth. Creating a great life for myself that I can be happy about before worrying about if someone can or should share it with me. So I deal with women (when I have to) in a strictly business or platonic manner. Aside from 1 slip up at the bar with this really cute goth girl I've been celibate for 3 years. In that time I got my shit together and now in my early 20s I've got a house, 2 cars, and a steady job. My life is pretty great no women necessary, but a lack of anger on my part allows me to see a future with me taking a mate if I ever want one.
>>5431135

They're entitled to live the way they do, but I don't need their self-righteous elitism pretending that they're better than everyone. Plus I feel that more than a few members have some seriously toxic attitudes towards women, like serious issues.

Men yes, there's a huge pressure over it. You HAVE to get on a good job to be able to support your family, you HAVE to either have or be after a gf and so on.

It comes from everywhere.

/thread
Except since they're insecure manlets, they've got nohomo plastered all over it instead of pretending to be gays while not wanting anything to do with homosex at all ever (I swear one of these days some political lesbian will whine that cis lesbians who have sex are reproducing the patriarchy)
It could be a positive thing if most of them weren't so dependent of women. They still can't ignore the fact they want female company and society's support. So it feels just pretentious.
Face it, straight men need women. Straight women need men. We need both. It's insane to deny the laws of nature.
>>5431371
Because those issues bear no direct relationship with men's rights or status. What feminism has accomplished as a movement is to make women no longer second-class citizens. Things like the income gap are direct consequences of that former paradigm, they just have too much "inertia" to go away easily.
Men, as a group, do not lack rights or status in any significant way. A "men's rights" movement is ridiculous. There are male-specific problems - there are even some that weren't made up by self-absorbed manchildren - but setting up an MR movement as a kind of "counterpart" to feminism is a totally inappropriate way to address, for example, prison rape. There's a reason these organisations are inevitably filled with neurotic misogynists.
>>5431651
Normal, healthy people don't pursue the opposite sex like dogs after a fox, and are capable of being happy and content while single. MGTOW are not normal, healthy people.
>>5430813
>What do you think of the MGTOW social justice movement?
I could not care less whether a bunch of straight guys want to date women or not, but I think it's hilarious how upset women and feminists get over them.
>>5433011
It's not a "men's rights" group, so a bit off-topic, but the good men project puts out some quality content on improving the experience of being a man.
>>5432069
Someone pointed that out in their FAQs section and the answer was one of the most autistic things I've read on the internet this year.
>>5433011
I thought pay discrepancy was trivial when comparing men and women in equivalent positions, but that the 'wage gap' actually referred to the sum total of all working men versus the sum total of all working women without giving consideration to the careers in question?
Man haters from from salon.com, huffingtonpost.com, wehuntedthemammoth.com, cuckservative.com and manupandmarry.com - angry that MGTOW are causing them to lose their fair share of forced wealth transfer (legalized theft), vagimony and vag support - take break from anti-male hate sites to come here and post:
"MGTOW are beta faggot basement dwelling tiny penis losers afraid of strong independent women and marriage. Don't read their posts. Delete their posts."
Actual naive beta faggot losers agree with their gynocentric overloards and post anti-male propaganda against other men as well.
MGTOW laugh at all married men knowing they live under constant fear that their cupcake NAWALT will one day awaken, go AWALT and destroy said men's lives. Anti-male, pro-marriage propagandists hate on MGTOW to stem tide of global mass backlash exodus from marriage. Too little - too late.
>>5433240
I can't tell if this is satire or just autism.
>>5431254
A lot of that could also be said about feminism, especially the tumblr variety. I don't consider myself a feminist nor an MRA, but there are vocal parts of both communities that have ended up at the end of the horseshoe with hate for the opposing side.
>>5430813
>MGTOW social justice
You mean social injustice?
MGTOW are just a bunch of MRA retards and misogynist gays in the closet.
They could just give up their mommy issues and become plain normal friendly gay guys, things could be so peaceful.
>>5433271
Hating men when you've suffered big time from misogyny or have studied misogyny in depth is fairly legitimate.
It's
1. as vicious and disgusting as for instance anti-semitism or racism against blacks (which both have caused heinous crimes on humanity), and
2. actually still continues in like half the world (look at e.g. some Arabic nations) AND even in the most "modern" countries in some forms (look at mainstream porn, and how common rape and harassment is, etc.) and yet being ignored and denied.
I'm a white cis het middle-class dude who's merely somewhat gender non-conforming (I shit on masculinity; it mentally breaks me that I have to conform to it to avoid discrimination) and after just a bit of reading radfem texts I decided that yes, I categorically fucking hate men in this culture. At least the ~14-40 year-old ones who take part in porn culture and are full of themselves.
Not to say there aren't many men I love, like my father, John Stoltenberg, Richard Stallman, many fellow free software and computer science nerds, etc.
And not to say it's a biology or anatomy based hate. It's a socialization/culture based one. Imagine you're a black guy or a black sympathizer living in 1800 USA.
Call me deluded or retarded and see if I give a fuck.
If you ask me, feminism needs some proper, defensive separatism. Those men who are genuinely worthy of inclusion in the movement will be able to prove themselves just fine. Namely, by a lack of childish entitlement and instead a display of genuine understanding of the problems.
http://www.feministcurrent.com/2015/11/30/18995/
It is victim-hood disgused in self improvement and respect.
Yeah there is a problem of the types of responsiblity men need to make for the family and how society has pushed that
At the same time there is a problem of womens perception in society (which is being changed)
Accept that both have problems and be the bigger person and better yourself instead of complaining about how "the feminist did this wah wah wah"
It also comes down to men wanting to be treated like women and women wanting to be treated like men, everyone wants what they cant have, but both are also quick to say the other person cant have any
>>5433271
I think the difference is that feminism was a good thing at one point (i.e. fighting for voting rights for women, pushing against restrictive gender roles) but the MRA movement seems to have been dominated by anti-feminism from the beginning.
>>5433323

MGTOW don't pursue the opposite sex, they are guys that have realized that doing that is not their route to happiness. So I'm not sure why you made your comment.
...
The answer is that MGTOW is founded on a negative itself: avoidance of woman. This has caused blanket rants against women. "But many of these rants are accurate, Pook!" So what? A farmer can rant all day about the unfairness of frost, but that will not get him anywhere. There is no cosmic justice out there. The world is what it is and its better to live in it that in a hyper-reality.

Anti-male, pro-marriage propagandists hate on MGTOW to stem tide of global mass exodus from marriage. Too late.
Marriage = slavery + life destruction for men. Giving woman ring of power => tens upon tens of millions of men's lives destroyed in US alone. Not your fool. Don't want my genes in the future gene cesspool.
Marriage rate down 60% since 1970. Half of all US adults unmarried. Marriage extinct by 2040. Marriage declining in both good and bad economies. Man hating sploding globally as result. Feminists/cuckservatives form alliance with "Affirmative Consent" to stop drunk sloots from slooting and to put anti-marriage, anti-commitment pump and dump chads away. Countries enacting defacto marriage laws (Cohabitation Rights Bill - UK) to force marriage upon men and to give cohabiting women same rights to asset division, alimony and child support their married counterparts so enjoy. Cohabitation as well as marriage go in steep decline. Women continue self-delusion with naive, beta white-knight boot licking echo chamber support.

It's not necessarily about appearance, it's more their personality that makes them repulsive. Men who are going to choose not to have sex with women, AND then spend their time talking about how women are the cause of every single problem, are really not those who women are going to want to be around in the first place. Straight women feel about them the same way straight men feel about Tumblr SJWs.
>and post anti-male propaganda against other men as well
It's actually the MGTOWs who are pretty anti-male as well. They may not realize it, but generally they accept only one way of being male. If you're not "alpha" or don't aspire to be, you're a "beta mangina white knight cuck" to them.
> AWALT (going her own way)
That's literally not what AWALT means. Unless you think AWALT somehow spells GHOW.
>Marriage rate down 60% since 1970. Half of all US adults unmarried.
Largely due to economic circumstances, and the decline of "traditional values" (which isn't itself a bad thing, it just means people are no longer getting married for the sole purpose of what's essentially peer pressure).
>Marriage extinct by 2040
That sounds like it's based on some kind of linear projection from current trends, which isn't accurate at all - most things follow a cyclical pattern as they search for equilibrium.
>Feminists/cuckservatives form alliance with "Affirmative Consent" to stop drunk sloots from slooting

>>5433905
Do men and women need each other? Not trying to be edgy, but it seems like we've always operated on that assumption and I'm not sure it's relevant anymore. Do men and women each need for the other to exist? Yes, but do they need to co-exist? I don't think so. Not anymore.
It's also patently ridiculous to blame woman-bashing MGTOWs without also recognizing the role that man-bashing feminists (and I do mean only the man-bashing ones) play in the recently formed chasm between the sexes. I get that we're talking specifically about MGTOWs here, but they're two sides of the same hate-filled coin.

no, they aren't born hating women and then choosing not to pursue them
Their bitterness is born of their inability to attract to opposite sex, not the other way around.
>>5434482
Usually they become bitter and misogynistic before going full MGTOW. It's not something that happens overnight.
>>5434489
Yes, but it all starts with some boy who never learned how to interact with girls naturally, or worse, actually bought in to the "always be nice and polite and respectful to girls!" narrative that gets pushed on boys and thought that treating women like fabrege eggs was the way to get sex.
>>5434501
>thought that treating women like fabrege eggs was the way to get sex.

Are you serious?
>>5434591
Yeah in practice it's a good idea but if it actually was used the way its supposed to there wouldn't be such a thing as MGTOW as an identity - you'd base your identity on something other than women. MGTOW in the way it exists today is mostly about still basing your identity around women, just in a different way.

>>5434684
But I don't know what they're telling me, anon, I don't move in those circles. Explain it to me.
>>5434684
Well it's far less stressful. As a guy there are so many demands to have the "correct" personality which usually boils down to "alpha, confident, tough, unemotional" etc. As a girl the only demand is to look good and changing your appearance is far easier than changing your personality.
i'm proud of the Men Going Their Own Way.
>>5434721
that would be tiresome just be glad you don't know.
i was pretty happy with life a few days ago until i realized the fucking cultural marxists are out for blood and worse they are actually making progress despite all reason to the contrary.
>>5434684
>but i don't think you picked the winning side.
Well the winning side is eventually going to be islam and the globalists who fund them in the hopes of having a radicalized muslim public because muslims are easy to control through imams and actively oppose social and personal freedoms making them ideal slaves for the one world government
And they're okay with trannies so it IS picking the winning side
>>5434739
>And they're okay with trannies so it IS picking the winning side
Pretty sure that's just Iran.
>>5434726
that doesn't sound like anything a girl here would experience tho. in a certain age when mommy and daddy are still paying for college maybe. frankly i'm quiet happy to born a male imo life is much more simple.
>>5434730
Yeah, fuck those whoever they are, they're taking over our no-doubt-separate countries.
>>5434739
You naive son of a bitch, Islam is just a front for the lizard people from the dark side of the moon. This is fucking obvious shit, pay attention.
>>5434750
my country? not so much but it's too small and insignificant to make it's own policy.
is us falls the entire world might fall sooner or later. so it's important to stop them feminazis in the us.
>>5434742
That's always been a weird incongruency in my understanding of Iran. I know it's not as bad a place as the media would have you believe, particularly compared to some of its neighbors, but at the same time there are plenty of people very happy to get out of there to the West. No gays, but trannies okay. Very odd.
>>5434755
Of course. But what are they planning, those evil bitches? What should we expect?
>>5434743
It's simple if you fit the "alpha" mould. If you're effeminate, skinny, quiet, or just plain beta you're fucked.
>>5434758
Man-tranny sex at least looks halal that's their reasoning.
>>5434759
well the "evil bitches" are actually stupid bitches and they are trying to oppress an entire population in the name of stopping oppression, which is pretty fucking retarded if you think about it, they are also actively creating inequalities in the name of fighting inequality. they are that kind of retarded cunts.
it's really quiet simple tho. whenever they try to fuck with freedom of speech and freedom of expression on whatever pretext you just tell them to fuck off instead of bending over and apologizing.
>>5434774
I see, I see. I haven't personally observed this, but of course I haven't delved nearly as deeply into these matters as you have. Perhaps you could give some illuminating examples.
>>5434787
it's everywhere in the news you live in a cave or what?
>>5433281
I think you're misunderstanding things MGTOW are guys that don't think they have to date women, and get married, have the whole 2.3 kids a house in the suburbs to be happy. So they try other things to be happy.
I used to consider myself MGTOW before I turned gay, and know a lot of other such people. Really should just hear them out instead of judging.
>>5434799
Clearly, yes. I've actually spent the last 6 years living with the Sentineli of the Andaman Islands as part of a prolonged anthropological study, so forgive me if I seem ignorant of these basic facts.
>>5434812
minus the dating thing i'm qualified
i like plowing pussy tho
>>5434812
But that's not how they present themselves. People who identify as MGTOW are associated with the stated views of their organisation. Those who don't want to be so associated should consider growing a cock and balls and becoming their own person rather than a member of a weepy self-masturbatory club of imbeciles, no?
>>5434831
>M.G.T.O.W – Men Going Their Own Way is a statement of self-ownership, where the modern man preserves and protects his own sovereignty above all else. It is the manifestation of one word: “No”. Ejecting silly preconceptions and cultural definitions of what a “man” is. Looking to no one else for social cues.
uhm...
>>5434812
I think they're talking about what the people who claim to be MGTOW actually are like, not what they claim MGTOW means.
>>5434847
whatever they are tho they are a bunch of defeatists.
if you don't like the way the world goes you just pretend you not see it look the other way or do something about it?
>>5434839
Except in practice most* MGTOWs are people who embrace the traditional cultural idea of what it means to be a man, and still essentially define themselves based on women.
*or at least the majority of those who openly identify as MGTOW
>>5434870
how do you define yourself as a man based on women?
>>5434847
No shit. I browsed mgtow.com. Is this what people are defending? It's like reading a religious website, I can't locate a single rational argument, and I really did try.
>>5434881
Well, most men define themselves by their relationships with women, or so the MGTOWs claim. The MGTOWs define themselves by their refusal to date women.
>>5434891
Personally, I think most men define themselves by their use of lithium. I never touch the stuff, myself.
>>5434891
so that's like theists define themselves by their religion and atheists also define themselves by the same religion is your argument?
>>5434904
Well, it's more like the MGTOWs are like the atheists are the ones who make a big deal about being atheist, rather than basing their identity on other things.
>>5434904
No. His argument is based on observation of idiots in their natural habitat.
https://www.mgtow.com/blog/
Pick a random article and defend it, please.
MGTOW is pretty much a worldwide phenomenon under different names, in Japan it's they're call 'grass eaters'. While I am not one, it makes sense. We've pretty much removed most societal obligations for women, heterosexual men who expect to get into relationships are expected to fill traditional told even under threat of jail. I don't have shit to lose so I don't give a fuck.
>>5434919
traditional roles*
>>5434912
i'm not sure how i could put it in their place.
i don't see the big issue tho they will have years to figure it out what it means to be a man without looking at women right?
maybe they all turn sasquatch and never leave the woods.
>>5434915
>Pick a random article and defend it, please.
uhm...
shaming tactics seems doable maybe, but i can't be bothered to read it with all the animations.
>>5434824
I used to date women, but the bottom line is that hetero relationships are defined by the gender roles associated with them. Women can be victims at anytime it is like dating a child, they are victims of everything and anything, I don't fuck children, that is wrong dude.
Now I can have sex without feeling guilty though, by being gay.
>>5434978
>I don't fuck children, that is wrong dude.
yeah i get it
when gf gets drunk it's literally like she is 3-5yo the way she talks and the stuff she laughs at
creepy as fuark i usually end up shouting at her even tho i don't want to and send her to bed so she shuts the fuck up
but interestingly enough they are dead convinced we are the childish ones kek
just because i want to own guns and a motorbike and other fun toys like that i'm childish.
>>5435008
I would like to get a motorcycle myself to get around traffic. Worried about how other guys will see it, but much rather have the extra 20 mins a day I guess. I haven't had a gf since 5 years ago. Though I did like her soft body.
Prefer guys now though. Something about actually dating someone that I can talk to on the same level.
>>5435045
>Something about actually dating someone that I can talk to on the same level.
i have the internet for that, i only expect her to give a good head and make a good sandwich.
>>5435062
That sounds nice, my ex-gf used to give really good head. The obvious problem is that after reading to a lot of feminist writing, I came to the realization that much like a child, she couldn't really consent to sex. After that everytime I had sex with her I would feel more and more guilty. Eventually I apologized to her for taking advantage of her childlike mind, and stopped dating women.
My ex-bf actually gave pretty good head, gay guys really seem to know what they are doing when it comes to giving head.
>>5433011
So you're literally just arguing semantics?
>>5433011
>What feminism has accomplished as a movement is to make women no longer second-class citizens.
that was actually not feminisms accomplishment
>Things like the income gap
are a myth
>Men, as a group, do not lack rights or status in any significant way.
except before feminazi kangaroo courts
>A "men's rights" movement is ridiculous.
would be if not for that awful level of protectionism towards women which makes men unfairly handicapped on many playing fields
>There are male-specific problems...blabla...for example, prison rape.
yeah those lesbians never rape each other in prison
>There's a reason these organisations are inevitably filled with neurotic misogynists.
feminism is producing them tho maybe they are not any better than their feminist counterparts but not any worse either.
>>5433240
>manupandmarry.com
>not a real site
What a bummer.
>>5435369
>that was actually not feminisms accomplishment
Then what did accomplish that?
>>5433011
>Men, as a group, do not lack rights or status in any significant way
Any person that can be sent to jail for rape on evidence that is lacking like a woman having his face come to her in a dream, is lacking rights. In general if you can be convicted at a lower standard than beyond a reasonable doubt, that is lacking rights, in a significant way.
So I will have to disagree with you there.
http://www.mail.com/news/us/4029114-man-held-decades-colorado-rape-denies-walks-free.html#.7518-stage-hero1-1
Most of the issues MRMs deal with are more societal than anything. The presumption that men are rapists or child abusers for example. Schools shorting boys and leading to many less boys than girls going to college. Boys not being adopted from foster care because of assumptions about their behavior. Male victims of domestic violence and homelessness getting little or no resources. Those are societal issues were men and boys are being ignored or shortchanged, and someone has to address those.
>>5435450
the feminist movement (and widespread use of the word in the meaning we use today) was born in "1960s and '70s, in the United States" basically the feminists claimed a heritage of the suffragettes but as with all their claims it is largely bullshit.
in the early 1900s when the universal suffrage was "fought" the word feminism had a different meaning it did not had political or cultural charge.
what feminists accomplished is pretty much affirmative action. which in turn is the very mockery of the equal opportunity the suffragettes sought.
>>5435466
also worth mentioning that universal suffrage was more than about women's right to vote and them not being second class citizens. not so long before not even all men were able to vote and voting rights of other races were still in question in between.
so all in all it was one big step or a series of stumbles that the entire world pretty much did together however you want to see it not some epic fight the women waged against their oppressors as feminists want you to believe.
>>5435466
>in the early 1900s when the universal suffrage was "fought" the word feminism had a different meaning it did not had political or cultural charge.
What did feminism mean at the time?
>>5435479
it meant something like feminine or feminine mannerism something like that awfully trivial compared to how loaded the word became of late.
you could say that there are two kinds of feminists equal opportunity feminists (whom i really thing should find a new name cause this one became toxic) and equal outcome feminists (the so called cultural marxists) who are the intellectual heir too the radical feminists of the self proclaimed "second wave" which was pretty much the first wave as far as i'm concerned) and they are the ones doing the damage ever since. they are attacking and eroding the very fundaments of western society: free speech; equality before law; presumption of innocence. they are attacking these concepts and some other important liberties ones that are not part of the big 3 constantly since the 70's and lately we are seeing it reaching hysteric levels with the slut-walkers and campus banshees.
feminism became much like religion it does not allow for critique it does not even allow for dissent it does not allow for questioning or debating it's claims. hell it doesn't even allow for questioning or debating other claims it doesn't likes.
basically feminism became a cancer.
>>5435531
>basically feminism became a cancer.
that is if it was anything else ever
A bunch of MRAs and assblasted men who do the virgin 30 year old equivalent of taking their ball and going home.
It's just pathetic. More proof that that men are the inferior gender.
>>5435583
You sound like the reason why people like them even exist desu.
>>5435588
nah there is some truth in it like i said they are a bunch of defeatists and deserters.
but plenty of us left to tell the feminazis where to stuff their irrate irrational cuntiness and totalitarian ideas.
>>5435588
Their complaints tend to be that women are:
>sluts
>annoying
>feminist
It's basically a bunch of immature men. They can't handle humans having sexuality or women being their own people.
>>5435612
imo it's more like this:
>economy is being economy there are laws of equality and all the jazz
>feminism the toxic stew of cancerous retardation is simmering silently
>suddenly feminists say "THERE IS A HUGE INJUSTICE!"
>men are like "what where?"
>"LOOK AT THESE STATISTICS I PULLED OUT OF MY ASS!! MEN MAKE MORE MONEY THAN WOMEN FOR THE SAME JOBS!! FUCKING SEXIST PIGS! THE EDUCATION BARELY ANY WOMYN!"
>"okay, maybe that's bec..."
>"AFFIRMATIVE ACTION! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!"
>"oh.. okay, but..."
>"AFFIRMATIVE ACTION! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!"
>"now wait now actually less men are into collage, and..."
>"MORE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!"
>"look..."
>"MORE AFFIRMITIVE ACTION! MISOGYNY! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!"
>"okay, that's enough i'm out MGTOW is out..."
>"MISOGYNY! VIRGINS! NECKBEARDS! IMMATURE CLOSET FAGGOTS!"
Seems like the new sluthate.
I'm sure an Elliot Rodger will emerge and catapult the movement into mainstream awareness at somepoint.
If you're doing MGTOW right, no one should even know you're a MGTOW.
>>5435645
i should work "rape culture", "all men are rapists" and "safe space" and "cultural appropriation" into this wall of text, any other ideas?
>>5435671
So according to feminists less men in college than women is not an issue that society should address since men do worse in school, they think men are dumb, so don't deserve to go to college.
They ignore studies that show teachers are biased against boys, keeping tight to the idea that boys do badly at school because they choose to slack off. If the tables were reversed it would be because schools are biased against girls, but it boys do worse is because they are slackers or stupid. Not an issue
>>5435697
"boys are slackers" nice more?
>>5430813
The only relevant questions concerning MGTOW is how did it happen and how do we make it (and other gender-based radical groups) unhappen not through force or conditioning, but through showing men and women how to love or at least respect each other again? Seriously, what brought us as a people to the point where we're seeing increased extremism in every facet of society?
>>5435583
>taking their ball and going home
No, actually going your own way is taking your ball and going home. Making the decision to withdraw yourself from the dating pool without making a fuss or trying to make a statement or putting some faggy name on it is taking your ball and going home.
MGTOW is like them taking their ball, going home, and then throwing the ball directly at your face from the protection of their front yard. They may be fucking immature idiots, but they still care on some level which is better than guys who adopt the lifestyle rather than the name and the anti-female rhetoric.
>>5435583
>A bunch of MRAs
>Implying there's anything wrong with being an MRA
Also how do you not see the irony in your statement? You give them shit for nothing other than being men, your stances supported by a system that does nothing but shit on men, then you give them shit for NOT wanting to be part of that system.
Replace the term MRA with feminism and men with women and you see how insanely bigoted your opinions are.
>>5436016
Jews.
>>5436062
>Replace the term MRA with feminism and men with women and you see how insanely bigoted your opinions are.
>>5436016
MGTOW isn't an aggressive or a radical movement. At best it's passive-aggressive, in reality it's pretty much just passive non-conflict approach. And yeah removing the whole 'us vs them' shit gender extremists are pushing would be fucking great.
>>5436033
>No, actually going your own way is taking your ball and going home
That's exactly what I fucking said.
>>5436062
It's not for simply being men, it's for not being real men.
Real men are strong, physically and emotionally, successful, tall, handsome, and not virgin at age 30.
>>5436062
Let me guess, you don't like feminism. Does that make you anti-woman? No? Then there's no reason why anyone is obligated to like MRAs either. Doesn't mean they have anything against men or think that their problems aren't real. Some MRAs do seem more concerned with fighting the perceived evils of feminism than in actually helping men, and there is quite a bit of overlap with the r9k/PUA/manosphere crowd which really only cares about men who are or want to be "alpha". So it really shouldn't be surprising that MRA has negative connotations for a lot of people.
>>5435583
>>5430813
I don't think they seem very anti-LGBT, they just get all defensive and "W-we are NOT gay! I swear!!!", but with all the real homophobia going around in the real world, those don't even take points away from them.
I think they're okay. I think it's a sensible choice for a straight man to have. Really, it's getting to the point that straight men are becoming oppressed. Both socially and legally, a true systematic oppression. Avoiding women as much as they can really does reduce the problem for them.
Being gay I don't really like being around women, so I sort of passively MGTOW anyway...
>>5436016
The thing is relationships are a trade and men have the job of actually running after women to get with them. Feminism is putting so many obstacles in the way that a lot of men are starting to feel it's just not worth it.
To be completely honest, I do think this is a good thing ... for now. We really need to bring the population down a lot. Like we could be doing very well with 15% of our current population.
The only problem is that underdeveloped cultures are not affected by this as much, so all that happens is that the people you WANT to reproduce aren't going to and suddenly mohammeds make up 80% of the population and they want your head...
But a good "band-aid" for the situation would be governmental incentives to married couples of middle and upper class who have children (like, I don't know, 50% reduced taxes or something).
>>5436106
>Let me guess, you don't like feminism.
True regards third wave feminism which is anti-liberty, anti-empowerment, anti-men and has no fucking factual basis when they call victim on whatever they're whining about this time.
>Then there's no reason why anyone is obligated to like MRAs either.
There's no fucking reason for the term MRA to be equal to 30 year old virgin chauvinist pig. Absolutely none. If there is please do tell me. As far as I know their goals are very clear cut, I've never ran into an MRA that can't point out to clear list of inequalities that they are trying to iron out. I'm not even part of their demographic but I can totally get behind stuff they do in regards
>equal custody rights
>right to genital integrity
>equal access to domestic abuse shelters
>equal protection from military drafting
>disparity in convictions for same crimes purely based on gender
>young men suicide rates
and so on. There are some more ambiguous ones like the ability to opt out of parenthood the same way women can and men being the victim of >95% of workplace deaths. I haven't put more thought into those last two so I don't know how accurate that shit is but the stuff I listed earlier is infinitely better than anything the spinning-our-wheels-in-the-mud third wave feminism is trying to advocate for whatever the fuck that is.
I'm far from an MRA, not being a man myself, but I'd still consider myself an anti-feminist because feminists want me to censor women in my own art and disempower me from doing what I want with my own body. r9k is a joke in and of itself but what do they actually try to do other than whine about tfwnogf on message boards? Absolutely fucking nothing, it's not even a real movement and when you talk to political MRA's first thing they do is try and disassociate themselves with the womanhaters.
>>5436183
>I don't know how accurate that shit is
Men are not allowed to opt out of a child. At all. They have no choice. If they refuse to pay for it, they'll even get thrown in jail. If they CAN'T pay for it, they'll get thrown in jail all the same.
The only way to "opt out of parenthood" is to try and have the girl abort.
Also, if the girl doesn't want to abort, she has a myriad of ways of hiding the child from you and even putting it up to adoption WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
Workplace deaths is not something they could complain about, desu. Men die in the workplace because men do the dangerous jobs, women refuse to do dangerous jobs so women die less. It makes no sense to put this as a gender issue.
>>5436205
I guess that was a bad example for an ambiguous one. Maybe disparity in breast cancer funding and prostate cancer funding is a better example. The kill rates are the same but it's probably because breast cancer has gotten so much funding that the levels are now equal? I don't know for sure so can't say yay or nay.
>>5436212
Last I checked breast cancer was the type of cancer least likely to kill you and prostrate cancer gets hundreds of deaths a year. The deaths are nowhere near the same, nor is the rate at which people gets these (prostrate cancer both happens more often and is more lethal).
It does receive only a speck of the funding breast cancer does, though.
Pic related is what I could find on short google search. It's not as bad as I remember it being, though.
>>5436226
Gotta keep in mind most victims of either cancer are not exactly in their 20's. There are less men in the age groups that are prone to those cancers so there's probably more or less the equal amount of deaths caused by both cancers.
It does show some bias in how public views the issues, I mean there was a huge drive for breast cancer research and funding in the past several decades and there still is. Generated money interest in the field results in better treatment, everyone likes tits except gay men and nobody likes prostates but gay men, smaller demographic for publicity yo.
>>5435645
Wow, never seen anyone this fucking retarded on feminism.

This is retarded.
"Whites are oppressing blacks by controlling the economy and keeping blacks out of positions of power."
"Jews are oppressing Germans by controlling the economy and keeping Germans out of positions of power."
Exact same argument, yet one led to the civil rights movement and the other led to the Holocaust.
>>5435355
No, read it again. They're not calling it one thing and doing another, they really are setting themselves up as a counter to feminism. They're like the Christian rights groups or white rights groups.
>>5435369
Haha, OK dude. Good luck with your life. Hope you get over it before you die.
>>5436183
>clear list of inequalities that they are trying to iron out
They aren't trying to iron out shit. They're just a bunch of screaming manbabies who blame feminism for everything that's a result of patriarchal gender stereotypes that radical feminists have been fighting literally for decades.
>equal custody rights
It's a gender-stereotype-gone-real phenomenon that men are like a gazillion times more likely to abuse children. That is, it's a patriarchal stereotype of men that they have to be abusive and loveless, and since many men conform to this it also leads to the situation that giving men custody can be a Very Bad Idea a lot of the time. The solution is not to scream at feminists and whine, it's to abolish men's adoption of patriarchal stereotypes.
>right to genital integrity
It's a medical fact that male circumcision has relatively neutral outcome, statistically. FGM on the other hand is a heinous crime on women; it's akin to chopping off a guy's whole dick and not comparable to male circumcision. Therefore, you should not be surprised that feminists are more concerned with FGM. And even if this were unjust, the solution would again not be to scream at feminists as if they are the ones circumcising males; it would be to complain to those who actually do/endorse the male circumcision.
>equal access to domestic abuse shelters
Feel free to open up domestic abuse shelters for men. But if you want men to get access to women's shelters, you are a fucking idiot, the whole point of shelters is to keep the abusive husbands out.
>equal protection from military drafting
War is patriarchy.
>disparity in convictions for same crimes purely based on gender
Gender stereotypes.
>young men suicide rates
Expectations of masculinity.
You know shit fuck about feminism. Go read a feminist classic please. http://radfem.org/dworkin has some PDFs for free.
>>5435455
Serious question: do you understand why posting a news article about rape conviction that was later overturned does not constitute valid support for your argument?
And no, it's not because he was black, or because it was the eighties, or because the police mishandled the case.
>>5435466
You seem like a reliable and unbiased source, Mr. Angry Manlet sir.
>>5436205
let's be hones, men don't like women in dangerous jobs one bit.
altho in the dawn of capitalism the match girls were quiet a thing.
>>5436519
well an "ad hominem", and a "tu quouqe" in such a short sentence also implying a bit of "false cause", you must be a real feminist.
>>5436511
>They're just a bunch of screaming manbabies... blah blah
that's just no use
>who blame feminism for everything that's a result of patriarchal gender stereotypes that radical feminists have been fighting literally for decades
me think either feminism is not doing a heck of a good job and it's really useless or they are lying out of their ass
but no really it's simply not true there are no "patriarchal" gender stereotypes for starters this idea only exists in feminist heads gender stereotypes were as much if not more created by women as by men.
>giving men custody can be a Very Bad Idea a lot of the time
misrepresenting facts: actually real statistics show that children are most likely abused by the step dad mommy grabs onto after she gets custody, not their own dad.
>It's a medical fact that male circumcision has relatively neutral outcome, statistically
yeah check again, unaesthetic scar tissue, unintended variation in color in 60% deformity and severe loss of sensation up to 30% (depending on where they are doing it and how) i wish i had that infopic.
all to combat the less than 1% chance that the child might need a circumcision later on because of some infection and phymosis (2% occurrence rate). it's simply unjustifiable medically. fgm is just as abhorrent as circumcision and if they cut a little off an unconsenting babys nose or a big chunk it's not all the same?
>the whole point of shelters is to keep the abusive husbands out.
except the majority of times the physical violence is initiated by the women they just tend to pull the short straw in a fight some men can't or don't fight back and they are abused the same as women are by men exactly the same. fucking gender bias is everywhere with feminists
>War is patriarchy
war is a mere continuation of politics by other means. women do politics, women would go to war without men just fine once they find themselves at an impasse
>You know shit fuck about feminism

It's a cringey as fuck movement full of ugly fucks that are, in my conservative opinion, worse than any extreme leftist you will ever meet.
Failed straight betas that jerk it to femboys and transsexuals and pretend to be macho straight guys.
It's pretty hilarious when tons of them come onto my straight homophobic little brother though. Even he thinks they're ugly manlets.
>>5436672
>literally sex slaves
literal bullshit and you know it men and women built civilization with a lot of work and sacrifice on both part. it was not something that was forced on them it was a system that worked and women benefited from it.
>pulling statistics out of your ass
actually i read those statistics and they were sourced properly but i admit not providing the source here the info pic is on /b/ all the time tho in cut vs uncut threads.

nah reading feminist literature is not informative one bit unless you are a psych student.

frankly china is not exactly a western value civilization even today. some cultures are really retarded and i personally think intervention there is our duty and in this regard western civilization is not one bit better than islam. we both try to push our wares at the other. but i'm surprised most feminists don't dare to tread that slippery slope of cultural critique.

well about marital rape my cents are: if you don't want the sex the divorce you are free to do so.
sometimes i don't want the sex but gf is horny and jumps on my dick even tho i say "nooo leave me alone" cause all i want is to sleep but she takes advantage of the morning wood. then there are times when she just want to sleep but i'm really horny and i grab her ass and she gets to say "noh noh lemme sleep" but you know if she don't like the d then she can move out any time. not to mention the hundred thousand times when we did sexual stuff without explicit verbal or written consent.
now i could look at it as rape, but i think that would be quiet retarded. either we both are fucking rapists or this bullshit is not rape.
>>5436741
well of course there is a third possibility - it would be a fallacy to say you can only have it one way or an other - that it is indeed rape but not all rape are bad rape.
put that through your feminist processor and give us the output.

Is that a sophisticated way to say that women's lives are worthless and therefore do not count as a cost?

Sure thing babe.
>>5436760
>Is that a sophisticated way to say that women's lives are worthless and therefore do not count as a cost?
i honestly don't get what you are saying. women are free to divorce. and free to leave a home if they find it abusive they will be given shelter and support unlike men in the same shoes.
>drunken rape is totally not a thing
it is totally a thing. last time when gf came home drunk as a skunk she started nuzzling my dick thru my pants so i pulled out my dick and put it in her mouth. she started sucking it then she was like "wu awe rafin meee" so i put it in deeper so she can't talk stupid things.
it's a horrible thing we must fight at all cost i agree.

sad fact of capitalism is money have the power to influence policy and it will given the power the wealth will continue to accumulate.
the other sad fact is if you try to tap into this wealth and redistribute it you will find it very elusive and quick to respond and reorganize, unlike poor people rich people are very well versed in the fine art of tax evasion or optimization however you like to call it.

>In a stance rejecting discrimination, a 2009 study for the Department of Labour by the CONSAD Research Corporation concluded, "it is not possible now, and doubtless will never be possible, to determine reliably whether any portion of the observed gender wage gap is not attributable to factors that compensate women and men differently on socially acceptable bases, and hence can confidently be attributed to overt discrimination against women." The conclusion was based largely on a study by Eric Solberg & Teresa Laughlin (1995), who found that "occupational selection is the primary determinant of the gender wage gap" (as opposed to discrimination) because "any measure of earnings that excludes fringe benefits may produce misleading results as to the existence magnitude, consequence, and source of market discrimination."

No it's not, because if it was I'd be completely justified in peeling your face off for even suggesting that war and patriarchy are equal on any plane. The only people who would even suggest such a thing are people who have experiences pseudo-Patriarchy, but not war. Patriarchy never shot down your plane in Vietnam. Patriarchy didn't roll your plane and force your crew to eject directly into concertina wire. If you knew war you wouldn't compare it to anything.

You're highlighting their stated goal not their actual actions. The Hells Angels will tell you that they're a motorcycle club about brotherhood and charity, but what they actually do is murder people and sell drugs and weapons. There is a gaping chasm of difference between not worshipping the vagina and focusing everything you do around the idea that vagina-owners are vapid, stupid, and greed. It's not just something that comes up every now and then. It's a prevailing theme of the group.
>>5436923
i agree tho if you take the mgtow and mra fags out of context which is a reactionary movement or activism in contrast to or against feminism, they are pretty damn retarded and dangerous looking.
the fact why feminists see them as misogynist whiners is because they can't possible see what is wrong with their movement and absolutely blind and deaf to critique of their actions and ideas or can't even comprehend the notion that anyone could critique them so they are seeing the movements out of context.
me thinks they are the same in a way if the mgtow movement got widespread political backing they would evolve to be the same beast as feminism. i used to think feminists were harmless and i think mgtow is harmless for now this can change with time of course.
people like this only do good until they have power. power corrupts especially when you think you are fighting for justice.

The more I learn about the theory, the more I realize "the patriarchy" is just an incredibly convenient means of ensuring that women are never held as responsible for any ills against men (because other men are responsible for all of society's ills).
All problems women face are the result of men.
All problems men face are the result of men.

I kind of like what I have seen from it. I haven't seen a lot but I have listened to a talk and subscribe to the occasional YouTube channel.
Some are fucking autistic and think women are this global conspiracy
But the less autistic ones make great points.
It's usually just about objectively weighting your options and realizing getting married and staying monogomaus in this day and age is just to dangerous to their future. With divorce, child custody and social nudging to appease women. (Get good job, have kids, give her money, so on)
Most I've heard don't go celibate but just have hookups and friends with benefits.
They just want live not married and focus on their career and their own interests. Not so much avoid women.
Shame there are a bunch of women fearing Autists shouting the loudest in it.
Observe, if you will, the fucktards in this thread as representatives of the various men's movements. Observe the material on the organisations' websites. All they do is bitch about women and feminism. I haven't seen one person bring up and earnestly argue for the rectification of some violation or other of men's rights, even though doing so would go a long way towards justifying their group's existence. No, an offhand comment made here or there then quickly dropped, and some tangential remarks made in the course of laying into feminism. They define their entire system around their enemies, rather than identifying the issues at stake and then working towards a solution. There's a sociological word for that, it's called backlash. They will never be a legitimate civil rights movement, they will never gain real power, they will never be respected, because they have no independent identity. They are, forever and always, a subsidiary, one of the various ticks hanging off feminism's backside, along with the militant radfems and assorted other minority crackpots.
>>5433288
Hating women when you've suffered big time from misandry or have studied misandry in depth is fairly legitimate.
>>5437436
You do realize you will find what you want as those who feel the most persecuted will speak the loudest. They usually won't be the most articulate or nuanced people.
Just like feminism. Most of the good is not seen by the public. I've found this to be true with mra's, feminists, and others. The vocal minority are fucking autistic and ruin the groups image.
Instead of looking at forums look at doing charities and going to them. Helping battered women shelters or emotional support groups for men. you'll find the legitament people actually doing something and not usually on a forum.
>>5436970
So you assert that the reason is something natural/innate in the genders, right?
And of course you have no proof for this.
And the swathes of research that shows that women are every bit as talented in STEM and that there is no such thing as a female and male brain doesn't change your mind, I suppose.
And accepting a sociological explanation with decades of history and culture analysis behind it, also being taught in universities, is not an option either, right?
You sound like a really intelligent, rational person.

It doesn't work that way m8. If you make assertions you need to provide evidence to back them up. Let me try to hammer this in for you: if I assert that women are just dumb shits and that's why we dont go to STEM fields
a) Do I need to back this claim up?
or
b) Do you need to get yourself educated until you agree with me?
>imblyng imblgcnts

>>5437425
>realizing getting married and staying monogomaus in this day and age is just to dangerous to their future.
I kinda agree with them on that because I've seen guys getting destroyed after a divorce.
There's just one thing that's keeping me from taking them seriously, and it is that not once I've seen anyone on that site even consider that maybe some women want to get a divorce because the men they are married to are just shitty husbands.
Of course, women can just be shitty people too, but I feel like the men there think it's always the woman's fault when a divorce happens, while the man is always the victim. And I find that just dumb.
The legal system is pretty fucked up and it tends to make it easier for women in that regard, especially with custody and alimony stuff, I won't deny that. But I've heard feminists say they think that's wrong, too, and that both men and women should be treated equally when it comes to that. Although I guess it's possible they're just a minority.
>>5437489
>So I suppose this means that you agree that making such comparisons is worthless
No. I'm saying that hate towards a group of people for arbitrary reasons they cant affect like gender, race or sexuality is always wrong. The previous poster implied that their hatred of men was justified where in reality it's just as bad as the other extreme.
>>5437461
>If it's true, it means it is a reliable source. Wikipedia is a reliable source.
No, learn to logic for god's sake. If it's true, AND if encyclopedias are a reliable source, then Wikipedia is a reliable source. And I didn't grant that it was true. You're an imbecile.
>>5437502
I've honestly never been to the site. I've heard of other sites but I usually listen to a handful of videos on occasion from mgtow(ers?) as well as other groups. I try to avoid all the hateful garbage and get to people who actually speak to the core of their movement. It's not hard to see why mgtow would be easily co-opted with a title like that
>>5437461
>What is so unusual about attributing long-standing cultural/social ills to the group of people who have been ruling the world for millennia?
Rich people?
>>5437516
>I've honestly never been to the site.
Oh, well, it may be a good idea to stay away from it then.
I think it's great that some men decided not to base their self worth around being married, or their relationship with women in general -as long as they keep it civil.
But the site is mostly a circle jerk of guys who hate women because they got treated badly by one (with 'treated badly' going from getting fucked up after a divorce to someone refusing to go on a date with them).
It's just sad, really.
>>5437461
>There is no culture-wide misandry by women.
Who said that there was? Does that make the pain of an individual who has suffered greatly as a result of misandry any less legitimate?
>>5437501
I don't have time to educate a bunch of retards on topics on which tons of books have been written over decades.
Sociology doesn't work like mathematics where pure abstract logic and self-determined definitions are all you need, nor physics, or chemistry where you can test things in a lab environment. You can't put one whole test nation and one whole control nation into a pair of lab tubes and watch their behavior as you change culture variables in the tubes.
This childish clinging to "m-m-muh evidence" when people are simply informing you of a viewpoint that has been established over decades and has actually been accepted in sociology academia, is extremely childish and intellectually immature.
>>5437511
>hate towards a group of people for arbitrary reasons they cant affect like gender, race or sexuality is always wrong
If that hate has net positive or neutral utilitarian merit, then you have no reason to call it wrong.
In this society, a woman who categorically hates men might just make more right decisions on average, because men are hateworthy so often you can just hate them by default and only make exceptions to not hate them.
>>5437513
>encyclopedias aren't reliable
Thanks, that's what I was trying to get out of you. Now I can safely ignore you.
>>5437542
Yes, because it means they generalize from an individual problem, i.e. making a wrong generalization, plain and simple.
Damn, I never thought I'd legitimately defend categorical hate against men, but it's going pretty smooth. Not even trolling, just seeing how far I can go with this until I have to backpedal. So far, nobody made a convincing argument against categorical hate of men.
>>5437540
The more I deal with people the more I realize a good portion are fucking depressing.
