So the fellas in the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit are trying to figure out why women visit their horrid little subreddit and sometimes even post mean things about them there. A fellow called VanDerVaart has an explanation. Well, two of them:
Yes, that’s right. Some of the women who seem on the surface to despise the whiny misogynistic shits who populate the MGTOW subreddit are actually really into them, or at least really into all the cool shit MGTOWs own because they don’t have to waste their money on, I dunno, buying women lobster dinners in hopes of scoring some sex.
And so these wily resource-hungry ladies are going to try to slime their way into their lives in hopes of … scoring a lobster dinner in return for sex. Or maybe these evil females will just sneak into their apartments to steal their cool-ass gaming chairs or something. Because LL Cool C: ladies love cool chairs.
Hi, Atom Ant. *Waves*
Good for you! But next time, do you think you can write your musings in your little diary? Because, really and truly, nobody here gives a shit about what you think about women and dating and resources and everything else.
I say this not to hurt your feelings, but because we are not the proper audience for your philisophical ideas and personal anecdotes. We don’t seek to understand you. No epiphanies are going to slap us in the face, no lightbulbs are going to go off, nada. We pretty much have our own lives to lead, so.
As long as you don’t spout off misogynistically, you’ll pretty much be left alone, so why come here to explain a philosophy nobody is interested in? I wonder what you think you’ll achieve? It’s not going to be converts.
Maybe try MGTOW.com?
So I caught up with the blog (it’s been a weird few weeks) and this thread, and holy shit. Some of that trolling doesn’t even make sense by regular troll standards.
@ferret
I’ll fist bump as well, and add all the hugs. I was in a long distance (also an ocean apart) relationship for two years and a half, with someone with depression, while also dealing with my own.
I’ll second what others have said. Just being there is already a lot, but there isn’t much more you can do.
@ Atom
Well, yeah, as the pool of unmarried men gets smaller in each age cohort (no babies are married, but the majority of old men are), yes, you may be more likely to get attention from women in your age group. Also, in each successive age cohort until the fifties, women become more likely to be mothers. So, congrats on noticing demographics?
OT but Katz’s debut book just came out! Or rather, it will be coming out this fall. It’s available for preorder now, though.
@LindsayIrene
Does it count as noticing demographics if he clearly attributes the result of demographics to something he personally is doing?
I’d wager it doesn’t. This is like when people used to leave out offerings so the spirits wouldn’t curdle the milk. Noticing a natural phenomenon, failing to understand it in the slightest, and making up an imaginary ritual they could do to influence it.
Ugh, Adam Ant is goody-two-shoeing it up again?
@John
Fist-bump for weird few weeks. I’m currently reeling from a layoff. (Don’t worry, I have time to find a job before my end date hits, but it still made everything feel flipped upside down.)

Welcome back! Missed your posts. Sorry about the job. Best possible luck. Rooting for you! ❤
@Pagan
Yay, Katz!!1!! Definitely checking it out!
Hey, Kupo’s back. Hello again stranger.
@Axe
Good to see you! I had to take a mental health break for a while, but that was more due to the subject matter of the blog and before the work situation got bad (though we’ve seen it coming for months, so there was some work stress at that time, too).
Edit: HI there, Alan!
Kupo!! You’re back!! Yay!!
*jumps up and down clapping hands excitedly*
Ooooh, I popped back on during my break and I see not only Sinkable John but kupo!!!
Hooray and hugs and hello to you both <3
Hiya PeeVee! I love the updated name!
Edit: And hiya Mish!
@Mrs ObedMarsh, @Collateral Thought,
Thanks both of you 😀
@dslucia,
For your post at 7:06pm, Mammoth time:

Nice to see your words again, Kupo!
Atom Ant is dull, but not as dull (or incoherent) as Tall Cans who has snuck in.
MRAs and MGTOWs are all about the activism and ignoring the ladiez, aren’t they?

@kupo
It’s Kupo! It’s so good to hear from you again!
MGTOW needs to change their name to Men Who Claim to Want to Go Their Own Way but Just Can’t Seem to Ever Do It! MWCWGTOWBCSDI is too long, I suppose.
I’m all for people who do not want to date or marry or have children. I think those are valid personal decisions. MGTOW, PUA and MRA/RedPillers are interested only in hating women and blaming them for their problems then claiming women have no personal responsibility. I’m sure many women are idiots, as are many men, but often gender/sex has nothing to do with that. Sometimes they both just spend too much time in echo chambers with negative trolls.
Oh, and hello to all the Mammothteers and David! A sincere shout out to all of the US Vets and many thanks for your service. Remembering those who fought and died for freedom.
Yay! Kupo!
Looks like two trolls got in there.
There’s also one that’s just a standard mammoth hunt rant and is not even worth addressing at all. Not even with a gif.
Weirwood,
Changing my story? Yes, I feel that I don’t attract enough comparable women (that is, women on my level). No, I’m not being swarmed by “loads” of single moms. Yes, I’m getting attention from them from time to time. Not change, just nuance. Also, I’m guessing that you want men to express historically “non-masculine” emotions such as pain and weakness, so we can get away from that alpha/macho crap. Given that, is it really wise to call us “sad sacks” when we do so?
PeeVee,
For a group of people who aren’t interested in people like me or what we think, it’s odd that you have an entire site practically devoted to us. No, I get it–you want to make fun of us, and that’s easier to do if you don’t actually have to talk to us. You don’t want to talk with a boring guy like me, you want to knock down strawmen and extreme, cherry-picked examples.
You really don’t understand the purpose of this site at all, do you?
Oh yes, I missed Captain Tedious. How I wish he would build a road, and go his own way on it.
Ah, the sweet smell of projection in the early morning.
Atom, this site is for tracking and mocking misogyny, and we do so based on written words by misogynists, freely posted by them. This includes MGTOWS as well as other manospherian groups, so if a MGTOW posts something supremely hateful towards women, it will be highlighted and commented upon.
There is nothing to understand about MGTOW ideaology outside of that, because it simply does not concern me.
It is not that you’re boring or whatever, but this blog is not about you, personally, unless you indulge in misogyny, here or elswhere online.
Then, of course, yes. If your words appear here, you will be mocked.
Until then, it is singularly useless to paint yourself some sort of victim, here. You are not.
Feel free to go your own way, with my full approval. Be free.
Oh, Captain Freaking Amazing is truly hilarious.
Is there some boilerplate checklist that these guys just copy/paste on every site that mentions them? Because I’ve been reading these same tired arguments on this site since about 2011 or so.
Hahaha! Yes every manospherian, no matter how repellent his personality somehow feels like he deserves adoration from conventionally beautiful women.
Feminist websites are not really an appropriate venue for boner whines and I have no tolerance for them here. There’s a big difference between expressing loneliness or frustration to a friend and coming to a site where we discuss horrifying misogyny such as advocating harassment, abuse, rape or even murder of women to whine about not getting to sleep with lingerie models.
What’s an MGTOW site or who is a prominent MGTOW that is not misogynistic? I’ve already issued this challenge once today and it went unanswered. Maybe you can do it.
