I’ve often recommended that the terrible human beings who call themselves Men Going Their Own Way should literally go, preferably to some uninhabited island — some frozen rock off the coast of Antarctica or a remote atoll in the Pacific where they could prove their mettle by catching and eating any seagulls that stopped by.
So far no MGTOWs have gotten on board with this suggestion. And so I’d like to offer another possible solution: MGTOWs could simply dig themselves a deep hole in the middle of a desert somewhere and hunker down in it forever.
I got to thinking about these possible MGTOW solutions today after taking yet another look into the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, and running across this dude calling for the return of a centuries-old torture device called the “Scold’s Bridle,” basically an iron harness designed to keep women from talking .
![Ximkai[S] 8 points 4 hours ago* This is a Scold's bridle. Women may call it a medieval torture device (because being forcefully stopped from bitching probably does sound like torture for them), others call it a witch hunting tool. In reality, this is one of the many contraptions that helped keep the peace all the way up until the late 1800's. Almost exclusively used on women, it was a form of punishment for shrewish gals who just found too much joy in causing a scene in public. They would be court ordered to wear this mask for whatever period of time. And to put it lightly, it was simply designed to shut a bitch up so that everyone may continue their business in a polite and quite society. While some may have you think that this is some type of torture, all it would simply do is depress the tongue of the wearer to make speech impossible. Of course, once witch hunts became a thing, some more brutal devices were created that would cause pain with metal spikes on the tongue depresser. This just goes to show that even in history AWALT. However, back in the day, society was allowed to do something about it and could police everyday headaches with public humiliation.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/hhjhjhjhjhjt.png?ssl=1)
Please, dude — and all the other dudes who upvoted this — go dig a hole and live in it.
*sigh*
I’d say to put them on dudes who keep spouting misogynist bs… but that wouldn’t stop them from *typing* their filth.
Nobody whines more about women than those men “going their own way.”
Gor. Send them to Gor, since that seems to be the heaven they aspire to.
Except I suspect these guys would get turned into slaves themselves, given how they hate hard work and making human connections and all that jazz. And unless I missed something in my browsing of those books, male slaves held a lower rank than female slaves.
Since MGTOW tend to fail spectacularly at history, it doesn’t surprise me that they don’t realize that while most of the victims of the European witch trials were women, there were plenty of men victimized too

Sorry, any lurking MGTOW that I had to kill your witch hunt inspired hate boner with that little factoid.
The idea of being unable to communicate is so terrifying. And the fact that it is really obvious that you are being punished, that your voice is being taken away… That your community felt that you had lost the right to talk…
Seriously this is a horrible thing that this MGTOW is trying to pass off as nbd.
IP: I’m really sorry to hear about your game. And about your experience with Brian. DAMN YOU BRIAN.
I’m going to respond to this awful human being by saying you can be quite quiet, or quite an asshole, but not simply just quite.

Also, there’s a church in Alabama that wants to set up its own police force. It’s almost like they’re trying to create a Presbyterian Vatican.

MGTOW–I think I speak for all bisexual middle-aged pink-haired women when I say “For fuck’s sake, just fucking go already!” Somehow we’ll muddle along without you. Fly free, little birds.

Speaking of gaming nightmares, my Sims 3 game has become so crashy that it’s unplayable. The reason? The custom content… that I downloaded from the Sims 3 site! The solution? Deleting and reinstalling the whole damn thing, thereby losing the neighborhood that I’d been playing for a long time. Basically, a Sims massacre. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@LindsayIrene
I don’t play Sims 3, but I know your pain from playing Sims 2. I went through a lot of heartache getting to the stable configuration I have set up now. RIP little simmies. 🙁
I do amuse myself by wondering if these guys know what would become of them in the kind of good Calvinist society they seem to hanker for here. Cheerily awaiting the results the first time they try to sleep in instead of going to church.
It is so mindboggling, the way he says “it’s not torture, it just depresses your tounge”.
With a piece of metal.
For days at a time.
How about you try that for an hour or two, then tell us if it’s so benign.
Jeeeeeez
(And this is on top of Rhuu’s excellent points above)
@Penny Psmith – To add to your excellent point: of course, people only ever use their tongues for talking and not for, like, swallowing liquid and/or food. Who REALLY needs to stay hydrated or eat or avoid drooling, anyway?
These woman haters feel so big and strong and powerful when they vent their spleen.
It’s almost as though they usually feel small and weak and powerless.

But if someone tells MGTOW they’re being terrible bigots, then their freedom of speech is being infringed upon, right?? Unlike literally shoving a gag in someone’s mouth which is a totally pro-freedom-of-speech approach.
I watched Milo’s appearance on Maher just to see what the “interview” would even be about. They literally talked only about how great they are for talking to each other even though they (allegedly) disagree on some things, and how “triggered” the “liberals” are for not wanting to “debate” Milo. I didn’t think Maher could get any worse. Wrong again!
Actual dialogue from the panel discussion on Real Time:
Maher: [Reading a viewer question.] Why did you single out a transgender student for ridicule during a recent speech you made on her campus. Did you do that?
Milo: Well, yes. First of all, it wasn’t a student, he had already left the university, and I make no apologies for protecting women and children from men who are confused about their sexual identity.
Maher: I’m confused about who this is, because pronouns are so important. If you call Caitlyn Jenner ‘he’ you’re a bad person. [Maher rolls his eyes]
Milo: Yeah I did it on purpose.
Maher: You did. So this a man who-
Milo: I misgendered this person. [Milo throws up his hands and rolls his eyes]
Maher: So this is a man, born man, who wants to-
Milo: Who thinks that he might be a girl.
Maher: Okay. And you have a problem with that?
Milo: No, I don’t have a problem with that, but I think that women and chil- and girls should be protected from having people- men who are confused about their sexual identities in their bathrooms.
Maher: [nodding in agreement] That’s not unreasonable.
Milo: That person, who was, you know, and activist who their own university to court to force his way into the chang- uh the female locker rooms, had already left college by the time I gave that speech, and that was totally misrepresent- misreported by the press, just like they mi- misreport everything else. [Milo rolls his eyes]
Maher: [turns to Jack Kingston] Jack, where do you stand on weirdos peeing?
[Roaring laugh from the audience.]
Kingston: I think you two are doing a great job with this topic.

This makes me wonder if Maher is getting ready to more overtly pivot from nominally liberal to openly pandering to his by now mostly far right audience.
Props to Larry Wilore for swiftly shutting down Milo’s logical fallacies and transphobic, ahistorical nonsense. Milo was reduced to making up fake crime statistics on the spot, and pleading with Maher to “invite higher IQ guests”, to which Wilmore replied:
Wilmore needs to get his own show again. The format and writing of his old show were crappy, but he’s great at this kind of panel discussion. Finally someone who will treat Milo with exactly the level of respect he deserves.
