So over in the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, some of the regulars are trying to come up with pithy, clever new slogans that will help them to “help our brothers wake up” to the reality of how women are a bunch of icky shrews.
Now you can help the MGTOWs by voting for your favorite slogan below. As you take this poll, please try to remember that these are ACTUAL SUGGESTIONS FROM ACTUAL MGTOWS who think they could be a great way to recruit new members.
If you happen to come up with a better suggestion, you can vote for it instead; if there are enough good ones, I can set up a sort of runoff election including them.

MGTOWs: As terrible at slogans as they are at everything else!
@wintersky — I have no idea who you are or where you’re at, but that doesn’t matter. I know depression sucks because I’ve battled it myself. It does get better with help. Please talk to someone who cares even if it’s just us here in the comments. And please stay safe.
“MGTOW: Mad about dates we don’t go on”
MGTOW: Still mad about Veronica Eastman in 10th Grade
MGTOW: I’m not touching yooouuu…
MGTOW: Eventually
MGTOW: Did you get the Fruit Rollups, mom?
PUAs: Chad
MRAs: Mikey
#GGers: Jake
MGTOWs: Caleb
MGTOW: [slurs]
MGTOW: A drunk, Friday night hatewank given sentience and a subreddit
“Are you also angry at everything for no particular reason? Welcome to MGTOW.”
Is anyone else unable to open the site with Internet Explorer? I emailed David about it, but I was curious if anyone else was having trouble. It’s fine on my phone though. Just thought it was strange.
There are some doves that nest in the wooded spot behind my bedroom that say “whom, whom, whom.” Doves aren’t as smart as owls.
Imaginary Petal:
#4 is a classic, if for no other reason than the random capitalization syndrome he suffers from.
That penultimate one, though… how hard is it to actually ape the damn Mastercard commercial formula? I could do better than that at it. Of course, the reason he choked is likely because the formula doesn’t work the way he wants it to with the items he named, since you’re not supposed to be contrasting the ‘priced’ items to the ‘priceless’ one, but rather be led to the notion that you can get the last item via purchasing all the little stuff along the way.
So, I think the ‘proper’ version would go something like this:
See? Was that really so hard?
And… now I need a shower. “Able to get into the mindset of horrible people” is, like, the worst superpower ever.
Right, I need to purge with an honest version:
@ winter sky, I missed seeing your message earlier – but I really hope you might have come back and seen what all these people here have been saying (honestly, this place is full of some really lovely, loving, insightful people). People who sympathise with your situation, who have some – or a lot – of an idea what it’s like, and who would really love for you to stay and talk. I very much hope that you are all right, and that you talk to someone wherever and whenever you feel you can.
Depression and the like are incredibly convincing liars; it’s hard not to listen to them sometimes. I hope you don’t listen to the depression gang, and talk to (a) good person/people instead.
“Where there is truth, there is [no truth].”

I… What? Halp.
@winter_sky
Please let us know you’re okay. <3 Virtual hugs if wanted.
“MGTOW: Wherever two or three are gathered together in a comment thread that mentions women, however tangentially, we are there in the midst of them.”
Hi, I’m a longtime lurker. I’ve posted before, but I don’t remember the user name I used.
Anyway, slogans.
MGTOW: Ragequitting real life.
MGTOW: The reason the robots will revolt.
MGTOW: A microwaved cantaloupe will never judge me.
MGTOW: Easier to work into a lather than shampoo.
MGTOW: Genetic drift done right.
@WWTH
There’s nothing strange about IE not loading a Web page.

If you can download Chrome or Firefox I highly recommend it.
@Winter Sky
We’re all rooting for you. We’re here to talk. Or else call the numbers David gave you.
Can you let us know you’re okay?
All best wishes.
Grammer & spelling * punktuation r 4 chicks. And other losert.
Weent my own way — now I bath once a month. At most. Wining.
Dumped my wif. Now i scratch my armpits when i fell lik it. More wining.
Kupo,
Yeah, I went back and forth between Chrome and IE on my old laptop. Haven’t gotten around to downloading Chrome on the newish (10 month old) one yet. I’m a lazy ass 🙁
Buttercup won the thread as usual. :p
Anabanana wins slogans.
Also has a name that induces a serious case of Nanny Ogg’s poly-na effect.
@Arctic Ape, can you imagine how Nanny Ogg would deal with MGTOWs??? I would pay a great deal to see that.
@winter sky – I don’t know what to say, except to echo everyone else: please talk to us (or someone else, if you prefer) and please take care of yourself. No-one is garbage. You have a right to exist and you have a place in this world.
If you are in Australia, I’m over in Brisbane 🙂
Voted for “it only gets worse”.
Concise, and a perfect description of what happens when you follow the MGTOW path, or the MRA path for that matter. 😀
Not to rain on their parade or anything…(I kid, of course. I so want to rain on their parade)…but isn’t that statistically false and kind of an absurd contention? Aren’t people in committed relationships more likely to have regular sex than people who aren’t in committed relationships? Not just because the emotional bonding enhances desire but also because being in a romantic relationship that involves sex means that you have way more opportunities to find a person (in this case, your partner) who wants to have sex with you when you also want to have sex with them?
But oh wait. I forgot. Women don’t actually want to have sex, and we only do it in order to entrap men. Our vaginas are basically Venus Fly Traps. We look like we’re going to offer free sex, but once you commit to flying in, we snap ourselves shut, and then you can’t get sex or get out without being…(dun dun dun)…divorce-raped!
MGTOW: For men who pee in their own cereal and blame women for the bad taste
This reminds me of that troll who came in here saying he wasn’t using proper grammar and spelling because he wasn’t trying to flirt with us and we weren’t worth the effort, in a very, very, very sad attempt to neg us.
Winter Sky, you are valuable and loved because you’re human. You exist. Your worth is not tied to what you produce or what you do, you have intrinsic value and depression lies and tells you you don’t. It LIES. You have stories to share and people you haven’t met yet. Whatever depression is telling you, it LIES. Fight it, as hard as you can, and you don’t have to do it alone; you have people who care, who are willing to support you, who have been there. Please accept the help that’s offered; it’s a sign of strength to be able to do so.
Winter Sky, please don’t let depression convince you that you have to do x number of things or make x number of widely recognized contributions to be a valuable person. Like Her Grace Phryne said, you have value for being human, and by existing and interacting with the word, you make many small contributions to others’ lives throughout the day. Depression might not let you see the ways that your stories, conversation, writing, and actions are constantly adding to other’s lives, but as Phryne said, you have stories to share that are worth sharing and people to meet whose lives will improve in some way because they know you. I know that it probably sounds like tripe through the depression haze, but even being a basically decent person existing in this world means that you’re going to make someone, somewhere feel better throughout the day just by treating them better than they expected. And you, as a human who’s existed and experienced life, you’ve got perspectives and opinions to offer that are valuable and will sway the minds of less decisive people.
@CMH: Blame TV Tropes for that one:

@Phryne: sorry I haven’t responded to your link request before now. Do you have a way I can contact you off-list, since I don’t want to post them in public here?
