So a Redditor goes into the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit.
I realize that sounds a bit like the start of a crappy joke. But it’s true. Earlier today, the guy in question popped into the MGTOW subreddit with a couple of questions.
Now, I don’t know if AwYisBreadCrumbs is trolling or not, but there are few things you can say to a MGTOW that will offend him more than this seemingly reasonable question.
If these guys really are all enjoying their awesome bachelor lifestyles, unburdened by the demands of marriage and parenthood and all of that, you might expect them to share some of the details with their MGTOW pals: Here I am rock climbing in Colorado. Here I am meeting rescued Orangutans in Borneo. Here’s the backyard roller coaster I built with my own hands. Here’s my podcast about Elvis impersonators. Here’s my model train set. I dunno, something. Anything.
Nope! Oh sure, once in a long while one of the regulars will make a post about his motorcycle. But roughly 99% of the posts in r/MGTOW are complaints about women.
And that’s the way the MGTOWs like it, as they made very clear with their overwhelmingly hostile responses to AwYis’ (possibly) innocent question. Here are some of them:
define cool sh*t. Only a woman needs to ask to be entertained.
s*ck my d*ck
There are already subreddits focusing on whatever it is you want to talk about. MGTOW is about enjoying the decline.
Your post sounds like you are concerned that mgtow have the audacity to talk about women. Gtfo quickly
Take your ass on out
you put expectations on MGTOW. There aren’t any, that’s why we all went this way.
Sorry, dude. There are expectations when it comes to MGTOWs. Anyone who’s ever spent a more than a few minutes watching a MGTOW video, or reading a MGTOW forum, or encountering MGTOWs in any other context quickly learns to expect MGTOWs to be the hyperbolically misogynistic manbabies that they in fact are.
So if you’re looking for cool model train layouts on Reddit, you’re going to have to go to r/modeltrains, where I found this:
Manbabies Give Tips On Whining
That’s actually really fun.
Mongoose Gonna Take Our Whiskey
Many Goats Take On Worf
Mildly Greasy Takeout Or What
Most Gods Turn Out Weird
Much Gross Talk & Ornery Whining
“Mongoose Gonna Take Our Whiskey”
That sounds like your common garden variety 21st century crank, but in an early 20th century context. Like time travel. Can MGTOW time travel ? I hope they can time travel someday. Like, to the future. The far future. Possibly post-extinction of our species so that none of us or our descendants will have to deal with them.
Making rape threats and nasty memes and shouting about cucks are MTGOW’s cool hobbies. That and masturbation.
Takes one to know one, I guess.
Doug Walker summed up MGTOWs and the like perfectly in his Mad Max Fury Road review.
“So what kind of manly stuff do you do do you talk about football or something?”
“No, we make rants about women on the Internet!”
@Steampunked
I do believe we’re from the same part of the world. That, or the wizard can appear in multiple places at the same time. High five!
@Sinkable John
That pesky mongooooose!
Ref: the subject at hand… yeah, they do seem to be the most ridiculous of the lot. I mean, redpill conspiracies might be absurd, but at least they provide your movement with some sort of intellectual base, however unsound. MGTOW-ery is just naked “we hate women and are gonna complain about them forever.”
Men Going to Other Worlds
Men Getting Their Otters Waxed
Men Growing Tall Orchids, White
He doesn’t have a pair of ravens, does he?
memes given to overlong wordiness
macros generated through obstinate whining
ETA: oops! wrong MGTOW thread. Oh well. I’m leaving them here.
I’m gonna echo what others have said. If they’re really gonna ‘Go Their Own Way’, they really should have done so by now. It’s eye-roll worthy that they sit there, hate women, and claim they’re ‘Going Their Own Way’. Ugh.
High five, then! This is him:
I don’t THINK he’s Odin…
They’re just really entitled and immature, and they’re using the MGTOW community to mourn the loss of their childhood expectations about sex and relationships – expectations that society in large part socialized them to have. They’re not thinking about how much it would actually suck to get what they think they want, though. When they do get it occasionally, they flip out because they will not comprehend that the problem is with their expectations – it must be the woman who seemed like she would fulfill their expectations who is bad because all women are bad, even though women who would agree to be in a relationship with someone who wants a human doll robot for a partner probably have some really fucked up characteristics and expectations themselves.
MGTOW’s are like a group of adults protesting and claiming they’re going to quit the labor force because they can’t be 1950’s Western cowboys. They’re so stuck in this fantasy world that they don’t see what they’re missing either.
I know a lot of you will probably hate me, but I kind of agree with Bernie Sanders’ much-maligned essay on gender relations: conventional gender roles make men and women hate each other. I don’t see how it could end up any other way. That’s why it’s such a warning sign when a fella says he’s looking for ‘an old-fashioned girl.’ 90%+ chance he at least subconsciously really hates women.
@Zero
Please don’t tell people to chill. PoM had a perfectly legitimate complaint about your post and was very calm (not that being calm is required). Telling someone to chill is really dismissive.
@Steampunked: He looks like a splendid fellow. Most of all, it sounds like he’s genuinely happy and at peace with himself, regardless of his apparent lack of a life partner (we can’t really assume his preferred gender in partners)– which is something these Miserable Gits Tossing Out Whines have yet to learn, if ever.
Silly Aw. That’d be in r/MenHavingGoneThereOwnWay. These fellas are still Going. It’s like in martial arts movies how you don’t get to learn the Ultimate Scorpion Death Strike until you’ve mastered the wax on/wax off. They’ll get there
We’ll wait…
Sung to the tune of “Bitch Better Have My Money.”

Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready to clown around?
Personally, I find their attention flattering.
Websites devoted to discussing my gender — which, if looked at in a certain dim light — is the same thing as websites devoted to me!
Okay, the discussions are 100 percent complaints (and that percentage might be even higher), but still those people are thinking about me. And the threats — just more attention for me! (I’m sure they don’t really mean them. Plus they don’t have my address.)
Short of having a thousand stalkers, where else in this world would I find such obsessive attention! And they enjoy talking about me, so really, it’s a win-win!
Oh gawd. x’D The mental image had me laughing so hard, it had to be done.

Thanks for the laugh and the fun activity to keep me happily distracted from these damn allergies. x3
Sarity: Beautiful.
OT except actually completely on topic: Did you hear about the manly book clubs? (Linking to Death and Taxes so as to not burn through your New York Times free articles.)
It’s not manly until they read The Outsiders. Continuously. For all time. It’s a very manly book.
@Jack
There was always so much to doodle do! It was always on really early in the morning, before the heavy hitters came on (Barney and Mister Rogers). I’d always try to do the stretch, but space was cramped, and even if it wasn’t, I was never nearly limber enough. Major nostalgia bomb, imma need a minute
…
PBS still does really good stuff (Dinosaur Train, Peg+Cat, the recently wrapped WordGirl, etc), but what I wouldn’t give for a Comfy Couch rerun marathon…
ETA:On Outsiders:
It’s the book you wanna cry about, but your dude friends would tease you about it, but you know they’re also feeling that same kinda way. There’s a lot of eye contact avoidance is all I’m saying
Sarity: Glorious.
On-Topic: Figures that these guys would screech about someone daring to tell them that to be truly MGTOW, they’d need to actually go and live their lives so gloriously devoid of the evil feeemales. It’s kinda sad though that they can’t think of anything to do that doesn’t involve women.
But, I’m just gonna leave this here, an accurate representation of MGTOWs.
