So today some anonymous someone posted an almost certainly bullshit story on Reddit’s Men Going Their Own Way subreddit claiming that he just learned that his ex-wife (and mother to his children) had been murdered — and that he was feeling pretty happy about it.
![Found out my wife had an affair, left her, she divorced, find out today she's been murdered. (self.MGTOW) submitted 6 hours ago * by [deleted] I was gone the week and the weekend. If I have to guess it was the other guy. Feels good actually. Was not so fun being arrested and questioned, but I'm out. Had an alibi; my entire family. Pretty sick though. I have a feeling I'd on my way to be doing time if I'd just gone away alone like I'd planned to. Am I a bad man for being happy with this? Probably. But she said this word for word last we spoke "I'm going to take our children and the house is mine, our children are staying in what's going to be my house, you're going to be bought out and leave or never see our children again"](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/exmurder.png?ssl=1)
Nothing about the story rings true, but Reddit’s MGTOWs, who like nothing so much as hearing about allegedly evil women getting their comeuppance, were happy to take all these alleged facts on faith — and, in many cases, even happier to have a chance to crow over the death of a “c*nt.”
Someone called justaskingman7 acknowledged that the situation might be a little rough for the children of the allegedly murdered woman, but, hey, she was probably a crappy mother anyway.
Divorcedbp suggested that her death was nothing to celebrate — but also the equivalent of winning the lottery.
MGTOWs sometimes show up in the comments here at WHTM, asking why feminists are so critical of men like them who just want to lead independent lives with no financial or emotional entanglements with women. This is why. MGTOW has never actually been about men “going their own way.” It has always been about providing a space for misogynistic men to reinforce and even revel in their hatred of women.
NParker (and most everyone else here), I’m totally with ya. I practically NEVER come to this website anymore because it’s too triggering (which is MY problem, not blaming anyone else). But yeah, I’ve always wondered since I heard the term “MGTOW”—well, why don’t they GO anywhere? I’d expect to see pictures of expeditions, trips to foreign countries, stories about how much easier it can be to do these things while single. BUT THEY NEVER DOOOOOO. You can’t tell the cheese-puff eaters sitting in mom’s basement and making threats from the REAL bad boys–and I’m SO tired of this shit. And if *I* were gonna post a WGTOW website–you’d be seeing all kinds of footage of me (or my feet) in places like London, Germany….I’d actually GO and DO things. Just sayin’. That’s it. 😉
My generation (at least, in the places I’ve lived) seems to be one rife with divorced parents. I’m actually surprised when I friend someone whose parents are still together. And by and large when growing up I’d never thought of it as good or bad, I just understood that the parents didn’t want to be together any more, so they weren’t and that made more sense than the alternative. Not to speak for the effect it’s had on my friends, but I have never been really perceptive there (and my family life has always been good) so I will avoid saying anything either way there.

OK, you didn’t say virgin, but that’s the usual connotation. And I am, after a fashion, on my own way from feeemales. Never threatened anyone tho, let alone for the crime of being a grill. There totally should be a WGTOW site. I wouldn’t frequent it, as I find other people’s lives tedious. Still be nice to know it exists…
And if I ever do go to Germany, I’ll drop some cringingly amateurish pics for you folks. But no feet, that wouldn’t be fun for anyone 🙂
@IP: Now you see why dog people exist 🙂
“One of us… One of us…”
Axe: Now I’m reminded that I need to catch up Orange is the New Black
Yeah. I mean, I know MGTOW like to think they did nothing wrong, meh meh meh, but she obviously wanted to leave for a reason. Amazingly enough, evil for the sake of evil is kinda rare in this world…not that she was being evil, that is.
Took you long enough. All animals are the best.

Nothing cuter than a sleepy puppy.
@Joekster
Thanks. I’m still working through my issues. Sometimes it’s helpful just to say them out loud.

TW for rape and suicide in the news
On the heels of the Jerry Sandusky conviction for raping boys comes another case of sexual assault at Penn State, my alma mater. This one involves Nate Parker and his classmate Jean Celestin, two guys who made the hot new movie The Birth of a Nation, which thrilled audiences at Sundance and is scheduled for general distribution in October.
Here’s the latest:

And here’s the background:

Based on the words of self-identified black women in the comments after these (and many other) stories about this issue, I predict a boycott of the movie. Fox Searchlight is betting that audiences will forgive and forget. I don’t think so.

What an evil and disgusting person. I can only hope that he made it up
@EJ (The Other One)
No – no one does.
This is deeply disturbing. These people are genuinly awful.
I dont understand why the FBI and CIA arent on their case.
“my alibi was my whole family”
Yup: wife, mother, sister and second cousin – only one person, tho…
