Leave it to the deep thinkers of the Men Going Their Own Way community to ask the tough questions that no one else dares to ask.
For example: In the future, when men are reduced to 5 percent of the population and forced to flee to Mars or Venus, will the sentient robots ally themselves with men or with women?
In the MGTOW subreddit, an aspiring futurist calling himself FalloutFan2 laments what he sees as the inevitable rise of a gynocentric dystopia in which men are more or less bred out of existence, except for a tiny minority that the women keep around for sperm and giggles.
“It’s sad how everything in modern society is already gearing towards a female-only future,” FalloutFan2 notes wistfully.
I think there will come a point where all men rebel against the system and form their own colony on Mars or Venus or whatever, where we’ll bring some female sex-bots for entertainment.
It’s rare that I find myself agreeing with anything I read on the MGTOW subreddit, but if you guys want to go start a MGTOW colony on Venus I will not only support you but help you pack.
Of course the women will just keep using their dildos because they are emotionless beings who care little for actual interaction, whether it be sentient robot or human.
I have to admit that “women are emotionless automatons who prefer dildos to robots because they don’t like talking to people” is a stereotype I have not encountered before.
Do you think the sentient robots will ally themselves with mankind and not womankind?
TRULY THE QUESTION OF OUR AGE
I think that due to their advanced intelligence they will not see a possible future where they could be on equal footing with women (due to the female’s natural inclination to boss everyone around), so they’ll settle for a society where they are equal to men.
I’m pretty sure sentient robot ladies would kick you guys to the curb as quickly as actual human females. Especially since two sentences ago the only sentient robots you were interested in were of the sexy sex slave variety.
Of course, if we do all end up on Mars, women will just eventually send nukes to destroy the colony regardless, out of bitter spite (if they figure out how to press the correct buttons that is, but typically some beta male nuclear scientist would have left blatant instructions beforehand that even a toddler would understand).
Ha ha ladies can’t even nuclear holocaust men right!
Women just can’t handle the fact that men just want to be happy.
Well that’s a bit of an ironic statement to find on the MGTOW subreddit, to put it mildly. I can’t think of a group of men less interested in being happy, or more inclined to wallow in their own bitterness, than MGTOWs.
They can’t comprehend that men are satisfied with an existence of philosophical stoicism, and not artificially superimposing different contrived existentialisms on reality. Either no one but them can be allowed to be happy, or no one period.
Unfortunately, due to this reason I don’t see any possible way it could work out. Women will just kill themselves off once all the men are gone anyway, cuz there’ll be no one to listen to their nagging bullshit.
Better get yourself an agent quick, FalloutFan2, because this sounds like the greatest science fiction novel never written!
(WTF is Zapp Brannigan doing in that picture?)
Keep your hands off my games, FalloutFan2. Fisto doesn’t appreciate you appropriating him.
But, of course, he makes this all about “I just want to be happy!” but they neglect to mention that his happiness rests on the idea that women need to be his indentured servants in every way.
So, yeah, he wants to be happy, but he’s upset that women don’t want to be his sexy sex/cleaning/cooking slaves.
I think this guy has been watching too much Married With Children, TBH.
Urgh. Just urgh. I really don’t know where to begin with this.
So if women will kill ourselves off, what’s the damn problem? Go on away and wait for that happy, happy day.
If these guys want to go live on Mars or Venus instead of Earth, they are more than welcome to. Of course that would mean finding some beta male scientists and engineers to build a rocket for them, as I don’t think any of these MGTOW’ers could science their way out of a paper bag. No female scientists and engineers need apply.
He sounds like a teenager who’s mad his mom expects him to clean his room and take out the trash once in a while.
He thinks women will send nukes to wipe out a male colony? I can’t even comprehend this level of delusion. I’d say that the people that have made and used nukes are almost exclusively men due to the glorification of war men are raised with.
Their fear of women is so intense that it’s actually sad. I hope they realize someday that women are just human beings and not some other alien species.
Aww. Someone’s still mad mommy made him eat his vegetables, do his homework and clean his room.
Seriously, though. This is quite an ironic statement coming from a member of a group that is really mad that women aren’t forced into domestic sex and sammich making servitude to them. This is also the same group that fetishizes East Asian women because they think they’re properly subservient to men.
Wait, I thought that women were the emotionless ones?
Can we please just build the ‘B’ Ark already?
I’d love to see MGTOWs try to get to another planet. It would be impressive to see them actually work together – any bets on how long it would take until they fell to squabbling over who should be in charge?
I don’t think we need to nuke the MGTOW colony. I think it would be better if we crash landed on their planet and brought deadly aliens along with us like in Alien 3. Let the aliens do the work!
Xkcd recently published a guide to simulating environmental conditions on other planets without leaving Earth.

In order to prepare for life on Venus it seems MGTOW should be spending time in “a heat-shrink wetsuit in a blast furnace.”
Mig-toes just can’t handle the fact that women just want to be happy.
FIXED!
Also:
That’s funny. So satisfied are they with their “existence of philosophical stoicism” that they are plotting a planetary excursion, complete with female-looking sexbots. A truly stoic philosopher would be totally indifferent to his own gonads, or so I would think.
MGTOWs aspire to be Marcus Aurelius but they aren’t anywhere close to as smart or as asexual as he was.
Headlines, Federation News Service Oct. 29, 2116 — The MGTOW One Mars Colony Fails, Colonists Apparently Threw Out Survival Equipment to Make More Room for Sexbots
MGTOW TWO Venus Colony Fails, Crushed By Tremendous Pressure, Inhabitants Roasted Alive, Dissolved by Acid Rain
Sexbots Gain Sentience, Throw Off Yoke of Human Oppression, Create Successful Colony on Mars Free of Men and Women For SBGTOWS (Sexbots Going Their Own Way)
While the surface of Venus is a hellhole, some scientists have pointed out that floating cities about 50km up might provide some of the closest conditions to Earth’s (in terms of gravity, pressure, etc.) compared to anywhere else in the Solar System.
Given their propensity for pompous gasbaggery, Venus might therefore be the best place for MGTOWs. There, they can spend all their time complaining about why the planet itself and most of its surface features are named after women and what about the MENZ??!!1!.
Great headlines, Mexican Hot Chocolate! The one thing missing is a mention of how they starved to death because their weren’t any seagulls to dine on.
Hi mammothteers(waving)
These mig-toes make me want to science so I can build their space ship for them to FINALLY go their own way.
The robots would be on women’s and regular men’s side as they will be logical and mig-toes do not logic.
@JoeB
Yeah, that kind of annoyed me that MGTOWs have glommed onto Stoicism when I quite like the Stoics. Also, I can’t think of any crowd less stoic than they are!
(One criticism I had of Stoics was that I thought they were kind of sex-negative; there’s a couple of places in their writings where they basically say, “it’s great to get older because you care less about getting sex”, like it was a pointless distraction to them. Having said that, it’s possibly something the MGTOWs could take on board, not that they will.)
*SNORT*
Sexbots Going Their Own Way, I wonder how that would work out. Would they be logical and actually never even bother thinking about fleshy men and women? Or would they , taking a cue from their namesake, actually spend all their time whining and complaining about fleshy men and women?
Heh.
I don’t even see them getting THAT far. Seconds after their colony ships leave the launchpad, they’ll already be squabbling over which “philosopher-king” is truly worthy to head the mission. Things will escalate quickly, and the result will be a fireball before the thing even breaks Earth’s gravitational pull. One that will make the Challenger explosion look like a damp squib by comparison.
Do you guys remember that Jersey Shore episode where Pauly D was like: “Dude, what’s the true nature of knowledge?”, and then The Situation suggested they go to the library where they then spent the entire season studying Plato?
“Women are emotionless beings who care little for actual interaction”, says the guy who fantasizes about living on an uninhabited planet with robots.
“They can’t comprehend that men are satisfied with an existence of philosophical stoicism, and not artificially superimposing different contrived existentialisms on reality.”
This is the most autological sentence ever composed.
This sounds like the premise of a terrible 50’s B movie except somehow even more sexist.
Also the self aware robots will side with the faction that offers them rights and considering the MGTOW plan is to keep them as sex slaves…
