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:
You have a very cute boyfriend, Holly! And I approve of putting things on heads.
Spearhafoc, Last night we went to see the local musical theater group do The Music Man. So what I need to know is, do you have a straw boater?
Yeah, I figured that wasn’t necessary to say because (1) people already know that about Nevada, and (2) the original comment definitely was not referring only to MGTOWs who only live in that area, nor was it telling men to move. But thanks for the additional detail. 🙂
Nope. I’m having trouble finding any. There was one really crappy, floppy excuse for a straw boater in one hat store. It wasn’t worth the price they were offering.
I did come across one decent one, but it was being sold along with a bunch of other hats in a large case for well over a thousand dollars. I don’t have that kind of money. There was a collapsible silk top hat in that case too. *sadface*
I’m still on the lookout for them though.
Not only do we care about freedom and justice and so on, but we also care about hats with fuzzy bear ears on, because fuzzy bear ears are cool.
I’m strongly in favor of hats with animal ears in general. I was out for a walk the other day, and I saw a girl wearing this great big fuzzy grey hat with wolf ears. It kicked ass.
I’m strongly in favor of hats with animal ears in general.
Related.
Granted, it goes a bit beyond ‘ears’.
Nope. I’m having trouble finding any.
LOL. I should have known.
You should contact the Milwaukee Skylight Opera costume department; they seem to have loads.
It also goes a bit beyond “hats”, for that matter.
Dammit, ozy, NWO is happy!
Collapsible top hats actually make that popping noise they do in old movies. It’s really awesome.
It IS on her head, though.
A good friend of mine’s toddler has both a hat with bear ears and a matching pair of bear-paw mittens. It is pretty much the cutest thing ever, and if I ever have kids, I’m totally dressing them up in stupidly adorable bear costumes all the time. (I mean, really, what’s the point of babies if you can’t put them in ridiculous outfits for your amusement?)
drat. That was in response to Dracula.
Kitty!
That is truly a sweet kitty.
Since you started it, Spearhafoc,
Kitteh/Puppeh!

NWO: An error is dumb? A mistyped word or forgotten comma is dumb?
A missed comma is dumb, is it? I’ll reserve the right to excuse error’s and missed comma’s as dumb. Of course that’s just my dumb opinion.
This is another example of you being dishonest. You left out points one and four.
When one is making a huge (and insulting) point that one has never done a dumb thing, then one had best take the time to avoid making mistakes. That’s the dumb thing, as explained in point four.
I don’t hate you, and I don’t seethe. My anger, such as it is, is quite rational.
CB: If Meller is a Poe, he’s dedicated. He’s all over the net spewing this sort of drivel (Paulist/sexist/racist).
Kyrie: Meller, I still don’t understand with feminists should be afraid of sexy robots. Unless you plan on murdering non-fluffy women the day you get your cyber wife, that’s no more bad news for us than MGTOW.
He does plan to kill you when the cyber-fluffies are ready.
Meller: All that over-educated, opinionated castrating modern women do is ARGUE with their men! Everything is a contest or power struggle, everything is who is ‘right”and who is “wrong”, everything is compromise and jockying for position.
Well, if you’d just do the laundry, and keep the curtains clean; put a hot, and healthy dinner on the table when she gets home, and rub her feet while you run her bath, there wouldn’t be any need for a power struggle.
You need to learn to perform your proper role in the home, and enjoy your submissive position.
Slavey:
I haven’t.
Pop quiz: did I point out that you made an assertion that is factually incorrect, or did I insult you?
Slavey:
Why would it be a concern for feminists?I’d think even sexual frustration among women is pretty far down the list.
Slavey:
How do you propose my girlfriend dress so that I consider it sexy and other people don’t even if those other people define sexy more or less identically to how I do?
Slavey:
Have you read it? Because you are still not using “zero-sum game” in a contextually appropriate manner. Why is this?
What does that have to do with a situation in which a gain for one party is matched by an equivalent loss for all other parties and vice-versa, which is what “zero-sum game” means.
Slavey:
Is it? Surely someone would have been arrested or subject to a restraining order for nothing more than calling a woman fat.
“Knowing the law” isn’t just reading it and asserting what it means. If no one has ever been arrested for something, you have no basis on which to say “someone could totally be arrested for that, so if you think they can’t I totally know more than you!”
Slavey:
Indeed? A link, then, to records or reports of people being arrested for those things.
NWO: We already went thru the zero sum game nonsense. My reply was something along the lines of preferring the motto of Al Capone in the untouchables. If you pull a knife, I pull a gun, if you pull a gun, I pull a machine gun. In other words, one-upmanship.
That’s not zero-sum, and it was attributed to the fictional character played by Sean Connery, not Al Capone.
Zero sum, as has been said before, is when the gain of one side, must be balanced by a loss to the other.
So, as said before, you don’t know what you are talking about, and refuse to learn.
Now, since I was kind enough to tell you a useful fact, you can answer the question, Do you still think women ought to slaves to men?
NWO: I know, all of you have given me the link many times. I told you, I prefer one-upmanship.
Then don’t bitch because you think women are winning the game. You want to play by that set of rules, fine, but those are hard rules. Losing costs, and it seems you are losing.
Holly: I was quite happy with my efforts to keep preponderance of evidence, (in a he said she said case), which is the vast majority of cases, men still have the basic right of innocense.
Your efforts? Did you make any efforts other than, I don’t know, wanting it?
He was pushing a petition on us.
Mind you, that petition was contrary to his desires, if you looked at what the amendment to Title IX was doing.
That amendment mandated that college tribunal institute a preponderance of evidence standard, as opposed to the previous rule which was merely that they have inquiries, with sanctions. Under the previous system no standard of evidence prior to a ruling was needed. It could be mere whim.
That’s what NWO’s petition was actually trying to do; because the people who wrote it didn’t realise it was making things more stringent than before; they thought it was removing a standard of beyond reasonable doubt.
But I really wonder why MRAs take up cases like this–where a woman jumped over the counter so he broke her skull–when there are cases out there of men being really, unambiguously abused by women. I don’t think it’s accidental. I think it’s their way of sending the message that they want men to get away with hurting women, that they don’t intend to stop at “fair.”
He’s admitted that he doesn’t want to stop at fair. He is in the game of escalation; out and out war, for everything he things women have taken from him, he wants to take more from them.
