Earlier today, one apparently desperate MGTOW went to the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit to ask the regulars for advice on fleeing the country so he can skip out on paying alimony and child support.
Helpful commenters suggested various alternatives, from faking his own death to literally joining the French Foreign legion (turns out he’s too old for that). The OP is also considering the possibility of living “like Rambo, in the woods.”
But my favorite answer came from a dude living on a boat:
I would strongly urge all MGTOWs to consider this alternative. Any kind of boat or boat-like device will do — sailboat, rowboat, giant inflatable duck, pool noodle, you name it.
Aim for one of these islands and you’ll be sitting pretty in no time!
NOTE: Just so you know, the caption for the pic above is kind of a joke. Clipperton Island, a tiny smudge of an atoll 670 miles southwest of Mexico, has more than one tree. It also had birds.
And an abandoned tanker!
MGTOWs! Clipperton island calls for you!
Now he’s gone…
Sorry if this is insensitive to anyone (not to Mordor. Don’t give a shit about him), but what the fuck was he even talking about?
So he was raped, and he was circumcized. 2 separate events. The former was kinda meh, but the latter was so traumatizing that he has to compare it to the former. Which he already stated he didn’t mind as much… Does this make 0 sense to anyone else? I know that survivors (anyone really and them especially) shouldn’t be expected to have completely ‘rational'(tm) feelings about their victimization…
And then he forms all these oddly eccentric, antifeminist notions about #afbb and other such bullshit. He takes a Gender Studies class, seemingly with the express purpose of being a nuisance. He trolls a feminist blog where complains about, among other things, “women making money off divorce raping guys”. He berates us for not agreeing that circumcision is exactly like sexual assault. Then, only after Schnookums tells his story, does he show up and say ‘me too’
Note: I’m not doubting Mountain Dew’s story. He says it happened, and my policy is always to believe until and unless given reason enough to stop believing. I’m just collecting and presenting the weirdness. If for nothing else than to get my mind around it
These fuckers are draining me
Thanks you all. I’ll admit that the comfort of anonymity did help me in bringing it up. I also had a good idea where the direction of comments were going to go so I was mentally prepared. (Yay learned coping mechanisms!) It just…mentally exhausts me that my (and others) experience is being co-opted as a weapon to beat up feminists. It’s not even that anyone here has said male circumcision is acceptable. But it wasn’t enough to oppose it, you had to ADMIT that it was totes equal to rape, if not worse. I’m of course loathe to contradict someone’s personal experiences, but sorry…I’m not going to ever believe someone when they say that male circumcision is equal to or worse than sexual assault.
@Axe
Plus his “me too” was phrased in a way to make it sound like he was talking about circumcision and when we told him that’s not the same he kept insisting it was long before he brought up any actual sexual assault. And calling it mild was just weird, too. I mean, I get that it’s not always really traumatic–mine wasn’t really–but mild?
@Axe
I’m just saying he kept swapping viewpoints in increasing levels of offensiveness when the last thing didn’t work in his favor.
Even if I was to believe every word of his, that would still leave a very hurt person who is better off getting some help than hurting others.
@Schnookums Von Fancypants
Words cannot describe how sorry I am that one of the first replies you got in this comment thread was from a despicable waste of breath.
@Schnookums Von Fancypants
I’m so sorry that shit stain even had the gall to address you. You deserve better than that, man.
@Schnookums + kupo
I’m tired and numb and weak from the trolls and really, truly humbled by you. Just to witness y’all talk about these things, knowing the worst people possible are itching to pounce on it… All I have is words, and they’re kinda failing me right now. Sorry. Imma sleep
My gosh, these people. Thank you for banning him, David. That – I scarcely have words for that sort of deeply rooted insensitivity. Using someone else’s pain as a shield like that is – well. A giant dumpster fire of despicable.
Hearts to all of you, and good night
Oh hey, I missed the “party”. I found Dick Marsh mildly entertaining… until that. Good to know they’re both banned now. I might get around to reading Mig’s parting words later.
@Schnookums
Hi ! I am so, so sorry (worst introduction words ever) about what just happened here. I’m glad that you delurked though ! Did you get the welcome package already ? If not, it’s right here. Thank you for sharing, even if that meant exposing yourself to being used as a shield.
Re : Dick Mash. I’ll join those who doubt his claim. He was specifically asked what the fuck he even knew about the subject and carefully avoided it. And he was full of shit the whole way through. As far as I know it’s safe to assume he’s just one of those evil false accusers MGTOW keep complaining about. Because irony.
I’d give him a late response but I just got up and don’t feel like puking in my coffee just yet.
@David
Thank you.
That also goes for the other one.
@David Futrelle
Thanks for the ban hammer.
Well, I’m glad to see the back of him. And, you know, I really was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It was, I thought, entirely possible that he could be doing some kind of half-baked, unfocused course about gender issues and that he was just a bit off-beam in his understanding of what studying was all about.
I have a horrible feeling I’ll do it again – maybe that’s a consequence of tutoring kids who hate maths or spelling and make life difficult for everyone around them until they realise it’s not so bad. I’ll try to coax people into doing what’s best for them despite them being their own worst enemy.
But this shithead can step on lego pieces forever.
Here’s what Schnookums Von Fancypants said:
And here’s what Mick Dash said:
Given that up until this point he had been saying that circumcision was sexual assault, I had no idea that what he was saying was that he had been raped too. And I didn’t read his explanation until after I’d emailed David.
I’m glad Mick Dash got the ban hammer. This isn’t a safe space because the subject matter makes that impossible.
But it’s nice that a rape survivor can have a little breathing space after a revelation of that sort.
Aww, you peoples are the best. I appreciate the concern, although I was mentally prepared for several scenarios (including mockery) from our troll. Also…SCENTED MOTHERFUCKING CANDLES? You all really know how to welcome a guy. I’ll definitely
kill you lastgive you all positions in my one world gynocratic government. How do I intend to form a gynocratic one world government as a man? The answer is COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.Seriously though, you all are the best and I’m glad to be commenting here.
They could use on of those giant inflatable swans from Bachelor in Paradise. Let’s all just hope they take The Chad with them if they do.

Speaking of scented motherfucking candles, I bought a color changing LED candle that was supposed to be scented so I thought it had an oil diffuser, but NO, it had these little barely scented silicone discs that you can’t smell at all unless they’re inside your nostril (which is super uncomfortable, btw).
In my last comment, “on” is supposed to be “one”-didn’t notice it until after the edit window closed.
Welcome to the site, Herr Von Fancypants. May your cup always be full of your favourite beverage, and may you aways feel safe discussing those of your experiences which patriarchy urges men to repress and deny.
Thanks for banhammering Mick Dash
I’ve thought more about the ban hammering of Mick Dash. I left out a transitional paragraph the first time, one that explained my rationale for contacting David Futrelle. That’s because I was operating more from my gut than anything else. Below (in bold) is my thinking:
But given that the preponderance of evidence points to Mick Dash being a liar who used another commenter’s painful revelation in order to further his own MickDashian agenda, that’s okay.
I agree 100%, Kat. Everything about that struck me the wrong way.
I also want to add that after I emailed David Futrelle to ask for the ban hammer, I realized that I was also standing up for myself.
I’ve also had the experience of revealing something painful and receiving an uncaring response.
It felt pretty good stand up for myself!
@kupo
Yes! Other commenters, including you, helped me to figure out my own thought process.
Thanks!
Ηello mates, its wondeгful paragraph concеrning cultureand fully
defined, keep it up all tһe time.
Sometimes spam is so charming I have to let it through.

It’s like those Japanese pencil cases with weird, almost poetic English phrases on them.

Rainbow Drop; An award winning film set in modern Japan dealing with the complications of a married couples’ life as they struggle to raise their child alongside their strained relationship. Sorry those lines sound like something you’d see in a Filmes de Cannes festival to me.
