Consider the plight of the poor, horny Man Going His Own Way. He may have convinced himself that women are icky monsters out to highjack his sperm and steal his money. He may have convinced himself we live in a femi-fascist gynocracy out to destroy men and civilization generally. Yet his disobedient penis can’t stop thinking about sex with these evil, filthy women.
And so he turns to his fellow MGTOWers to ask for help: what can I do, my brethren, to stop popping so many boners? Ed1974, a newbie on MGTOWforums.com, puts it this way in a plaintive recent post:
[M]ore than almost anything I want to be woman-free and contentment to live a woman-free life. For more or less all of my adult life I’ve played in to society’s demands that I have to have a woman, and preferably a pretty woman, in my life. I’ve done a lot of Internet dating and every friggin time I get involved with a woman I regret it. Either I just want to get some ass and the woman wants a lot more than that and makes a mess out of my life when I leave, or I end up spending way more money than I ever wanted to spend just to have her grace my life with her presence, or something else that fucks up my life. The bottom line is I sincerely want to live a life without the desire to have a woman in my life.
So Ed is taking steps to quell his desire:
1. I downloaded a firewall blocking all dating sites.
2. I’m going to read as many books on misandry that I can.
3. I’m going to take myself out of situations where I can get in trouble, such as bars.
4. I’m going to fill free time that I would normally spend out with some woman with something productive.
I also want to remember the bad times where I’ve had women who I’ve tried to get out of my life end up stalking me for months on end. And to be perfectly honest, I want to remember the time I got the clap from some skank. I also want to remember that I should be thankful that I’m not a baby daddy and I’ve never had any false rape charges against me.
Alas, but poor pretty Eddie is afraid that this won’t be enough, and begs the assembled MGTOWers for “other steps I should take.”
Site admin Nacho Vidal suggests he go another way entirely:
My advice would be to scrap the ‘steps’ you’ve taken and take your wanking up a notch! Also, have you looked into hiring a whore or two once a month?
Others jump in to endorse the masturbation-and-prostitute strategy, and encourage him to cultivate his hatred of women by reading from the ample selection of stories on the site about evil, depraved, disgusting women. As fairi5fair puts it:
I go to college and still get the biochemical reactions that play into the mate-spawn-die script when I see a 20 year old with a candy apple ass and perky tits, but my growing understanding of women in general helps to make it less urgent and more negligible everyday.
A few others have more novel advice. Our friend womanhater suggests a trip to the mall:
Sit in the food court, and spend a good three hours there. Leisurely sip on some coffee, and simply watch.
See all the soulless men being dragged around by cupcake holding her bags. You’ll see the total absence of hope in the eyes of men in this trap. You’ll see his brain calculating the immense debt being run up, and yet he knows he’s fucked.
Pay attention to the stupid whores in training aged 15 or so, and simply listen the absolute shit running out of their mouth. Watch their behavior and internalize that every twat you see aged 25 was doing the exact same shit a decade ago.
Every time I start to feel my ghosting resolve start to slip, I go to the mall for a few hours. Clears my fucking head every time.
NewWorldMan suggests a sort of mind-over-boner strategy:
Sounds like BS, I know, but telling myself (actually saying the sentence in my head at the moment of attraction): “I control my dick, my dick doesn’t control me — actually works for me.
Frederick326 suggests an anatomy lesson:
Read up on vaginas. They’re fucking disgusting.
And fairi5fair also links to the (somewhat NSFW) video below. I’m not sure what exactly it’s supposed to accomplish other than to remind us that Japan leads the world in baffling entertainment product:
He’s seen the ‘withholding sex or affection’ thing on a long list of things abusers do. He chooses to ignore everthing else on the list.
“You cry about being oppressed because your precious feelings are hurt, and I give you a law showing how you can kick a man out of his home with a restraining order for you precious feelings.”
That’s right, NWO. If a man killed me fat: RESTRAINING ORDER!!!
Seriously, I don’t think even you believe the shit you spew.
Lol! Called me fat. If a man called me fat! Gosh how embarrassing XD
@ozymandias42
“Hey, NWO! What makes you happy?”
Equality before the law. A society without a privileged gender. Justice. Freedom.
Looks like I’m shit outta luck, huh?
NWOslave,
Take a look at this picture.
Is Joan Holloway (the redhead on the left) flaunting her sexuality? What about Peggy Olson (the brunette on the right)?
You don’t get to just decide that words mean different things. If everyone talked that way, we’d have banana goat quizzical under fortitude castle.
You learned English somehow, you know. You were born not knowing English and you learned it. Just think of it as a continuing process, instead of arrogantly pretending that you’re so smart you can override the dictionary.
Anyway, a man can get a restraining order against a woman. Or another man! I worked at a facility not long ago where we had to institute some serious security procedures because one of our male patients had a restraining order against another man who had abused him. (And no, not Teh Gay. It was a father and son. Restraining orders aren’t just for couples, either.)

The power and control wheel on which our entire grievance industry in based. Good old gender law.
Gosh Polliwog, that must have been tough =(
Yeah, the Year of Cancer (as I call it) was not a fun year. He was lucky – his particular variety is one of the most survivable cancers, and he happens to live literally within walking distance of one of the best cancer treatment hospitals in the country, so we were at least always pretty confident that he would make it out the other side okay. Still, chemo and multiple surgeries aren’t exactly fun even when you’re 97% sure it’ll be all right in the end. But as of his last check-up, he’s entirely cancer-free, so that’s super-awesome. 😀 (And I joke that his scars are kinda sexy – I mean, he basically got in a knife-fight with cancer and won! How badass is that?)
NWOslave refuses to be happy until the revolution starts!11!!
As someone who works in a court, NWO, I do believe I know more about the process of having a man removed from his house-and it takes more then just having one’s feelings hurt.
@Polliwog: Great to hear. Rock on, all you badass cancer survivors! XD
As you can see, under, “using emotional abuse.” Calling a woman fat would be, “putting her down.” Which is DV.
It seems I know a bit more about law than the smart people.
That’s a diagram, not a law. But do you disagree with it? Which parts? On what grounds?
Although obviously not all of these happen all the time, and not all abuse is female-on-male, the things on the wheel do sound like good descriptions of things that happen in abusive relationships. Do you think these things don’t happen? Why is that?
I know you don’t like answering questions, but your statement as it stands is so unclear. It’s not even clear that you disagree with what the diagram is saying. Much less why you disagree and how you’d like it changed. We can’t possibly question our feminist dogma if the only person challenging us won’t even explain what he’s saying.
” it takes more then just having one’s feelings hurt.”
But when women cry, the court’s in their favor. Duh!
NWO uses a dictionary to try and legitimize his use of “yea,” yet when someone gives him the definition of “zero-sum game,” he says he prefers his own personal, made up meaning.
Makes perfect sense.
“I mean, he basically got in a knife-fight with cancer and won! How badass is that?”
D’awwww! You and your boyfriend sound awesome together. 🙂
“It seems I know a bit more about law than the smart people.”
Lol. No.
What about Betty Draper here?
My personal thoughts about Betty aside, I know I would be particularly interested in a woman wearing that coat. It shows she has exquisite taste.
It’s a diagram, not a law.
Putting your partner down is a cruel thing to do. It’s clearly not an okay thing that happens in the course of a healthy relationship.
But it’s also not illegal. Just wrong.
“It seems I know a bit more about law than the smart people.”
LMAO! NWO you slay me! Seriously, my sides hurt from laughing.
Hell, under economic abuse you can’t even deny a woman spending every cent you earn on herself.
I can’t make her ask for money.
I can’t give an allowance.
I can’t take her money.
I can’t hide money.
All DV.
“Hell, under economic abuse you can’t even deny a woman spending every cent you earn on herself.”
Seriously, prove it!
“All DV.”
Lol. No.
What about Don’s secretary Megan? Is she dressed appropriately?
THE DIAGRAM IS NOT A LAW. It’s a list of signs of an abusive relationship! But “abuse,” itself, is not against the law! Only physical violence is against the law!
However, everything on that list is still things you shouldn’t do, even though most of them are legal. Treating your partner like a child who can’t be trusted with money is legal, but wrong. You should not be in a relationship with someone if you can’t trust them to play as much of a role as you do in the household finances.
