In case anyone was wondering, the Men Going Their Own Way movement has managed to survive the implosion of MGTOWforums.com that I wrote about a little while ago. Yep, the regulars from there have moved on to several new forums where they continue to celebrate their independence from the women of the world by happily discussing such manly hobbies as video games, model trains, taxidermy and knitting.
Oh, who am I kidding? They don’t talk about any of that stuff. Basically they continue to nurse their grudges against the women who wouldn’t date them in high school, somehow convincing themselves that the best way to be “free” of women is to obsess about them every minute of every day.
Take the charming fella who calls himself ManWithAPlan, who has managed to win himself nearly 1900 “likes” from his comrades on the MGTOW HQ message boards with comments like the following:
I hate [women] because most of them acted like stuck up cunts when they were young and hot. Then they hit 30+ and decide to settle down, and when there are no men to settle down, they start shaming men. This is where most of my hate/negativity comes from, the fact that these women feel entitled to “good” men after having spent the last 15-20 years telling guys “just because you bought me a drink/dinner doesn’t mean I owe you sex”.
And every woman acts this way. Oh you want to slut it up? Sure go ahead and be a cum rag, but I would never date a cum rag. And how would they react to that? “Oh well that’s your preference and you’re entitled to it”. Yeah right, they’d flip their shit and go into shaming language ahoy.
The reason I derive so much pleasure from this is because for the first time in their lives women are being held accountable for their actions. And they don’t fucking like it. Remember when some girl/woman got you in trouble for just crying while you weren’t in the wrong? This is fucking payback.
(Emphasis mine.)
This may sound a little harsh, but you need to remember that for most young women, life is just an endless VIP party:
Women are born with their so called value. By 15 or whatever they have the looks and power to attract most men. By 18, depending on how attractive they are, they’re either dating 30 year old millionaires or (if less attractive) fucking the football team. And they retain this value until at some point into their 30’s, sometimes 40’s. Men get nothing. We are born invisible. We have to claw, work and suffer for 2-3 decades before we get any recognition. And by that point, we no longer have the energy or fast metabolism we had in our youth. So that means double time for us.
Women are handed the world on a silver platter, men have to fight for it.
Is the MGTOW movement the least successful “independence” movement ever? They’re like someone who breaks up with you, angrily marches out the front door, slams it behind them — and then spends the next five years on your front porch peering in the window.
I would be interested in seeing the studies and it is obvious from some of the statements made by MRAs that they are indeed oblivious to the existence of any woman to whom they are not attracted. However, can we please be careful not to extend that to make sweeping generalisations based on gender? Because that would be prejudiced and wrong.
I find it so comical how women and their mangina friends are so threatened by MGTOW. Why so threatened? Are you afraid more men will discover that women just aren’t worth it? Afraid that society will stop putting pussy on a pedestal? That would be so terrible! Who would foot the bill for your granite countertops for the kitchen you don’t even cook in?
Canadian MGTOW, why do you refer to men who don’t support your ideas about what a man is a ‘mangina’? I assume it’s designed to insult them yes? What’s insulting about having a vagina?
You’d better reset that counter on your blog, honey. I know you’re proud of your nearly three weeks of going-your-own-way-ness, but posting on a feminist blog is not going your own way.
Not-really-going-your-own-way dude – what part of “we wish you misogynists WOULD go your own way” don’t you understand? If you’d piss off you’d make everyone happier, especially women.
If MGTOWs would actually go their own ways, I wouldn’t have a problem with them.
You want to live in the woods, or a bunker? Go for it.
You want to fix everything with duct tape? You win at life, person.
You want to dance like there’s no one watching? Awesome.
You want to be a dwarf bard (or an ugly elf) online, just to flout stereotypes? Swwweeet.
You want to be crude and snark on a web page that disagrees with you? Not win.
Not going your own way.
Granite countertops in the kitchen? That’s an oddly specific thing to complain about.
I wonder why Canadian MGTOW feels the need to complain about buying granite countertops on a feminist blog?
Possible new addition to the gift basket?
What a great idea, katz!
Maybe a woman in labour threw a granite countertop at Canadian Whiner. You know how dangerous life is for teh menz.
I wonder how long a granite countertop would last if you dropped it into the sun.
Love that – especially the “This brings us around to a key question: Who the hell has tungsten countertops?” bit. 😀
I wonder if granite countertops have a special misandric power that protects them from the extremes – at one end, the burning kaboom power of the sun, at the other, the soggy used-loo-paper whining of MGTOW?
I think I read somewhere that granite counters absorb masculine energy and turn nearby men into manginas. It’s tragic really. If you light a scented candle and place it on a granite counter top, a woman is compelled to cut her hair short and gain 50 lbs and age.
It sounds like this guy doesn’t like being taken for granite.
*ducks*
So what happens when kitties get onto granite counters? Do they absorb all that masculine energy? I could well believe it; we know how misandric kitties are.
::throws wad of soggy tissues at katz::
HA! My granite countertop blocks your soggy tissues!
But the, ah, power of MGTOW sogginess sogs up the power of the granite counter …
… I think
I find it kind of cute how MGTOWs are so convinced they’re these untamed rebels who are shattering women’s sheltered world. They’re like 5 year olds who threaten to go home when the other kids won’t let them have their way all the time, and are sure everyone will beg them to stay. The constant misogynistic slurs are less adorable of course, but I guess the MGTOWs have no choice. On some level the must realize that if they didn’t act like assailed no one would pay any attention to them at all.
That should be “act like assholes”
It never occurred to me until now that I need granite countertops. I guess I really must need them a lot. Hey, MGTOW, come back here.
(But really don’t)
But he’s such a Gneiss Guy!
(/s) ((also runs and hides))
I kind of want him to come back just because I’d like an explanation for the granite countertop thing.
Canadian MGTOW,
If you won’t go the fuck away how will we ever miss you?
You know why I didn’t cook this morning? Because a man had my coffee ready and was making a big delicious breakfast for me when I woke up. (I hope that eats your cookies. I really do.) He didn’t even need a granite counter top to do it. Tonight he’s making a big Sunday dinner for the whole family. I could do it. I’m a good cook. See, some men like to cook. Some people like to cook. Some don’t. Your suggestion that there is something wrong with a woman who doesn’t cook is such gender essential bullshit. Just like women can put in a counter top, men can cook. Try to let that sink into the pudding between your ears.
It’s hilarious that you pretend that my vagina is something that is revered, then in the next instance you use it as an insult. Most men don’t have a vagina, but those who do are “real men”. If your comment here is any indicator of your usual thought process then the best thing you can do for me and for society as a whole is to go far away and keep to yourself. You’re self pity and bigoted hatred is not needed anywhere.
I groaned, but I also laughed.
Even if it weren’t for all of the cool folks here, I’d still love this place just for the puns. <3
