The stunted human beings known as Men Going Their Own Way love to imagine apocalyptic scenarios in which women are forced to beg them for help, offering sexual favors for cans of beans.
Now, with something truly apocalyptic barreling into Florida, they’re … well, doing the exact same thing, with Florida-based MGTOWs boasting of their preparedness and mocking all those allegedly hapless women they think will soon be beating a path to their home fortresses in search of food and shelter.
In a post on the MGTOW subreddit on Friday, one MGTOW Redditor seemed positively eager for Irma to do its thing to Orlando.
I would be surprised if even one “single woman riding the carousel” has approached him to ask for anything at all.
Naturally, cleats4u’s fellow MGTOW Redditors agreed that women are a bunch of helpless hypocrites who talk tough but then have the gall to … sometimes depend on other people.
![DangZagnut 98 points 2 days ago I'm in Florida too. I have noticed a reduction in feminist independent empowered women lately. permalinkembedsavereportgive goldreply [–]Paladin2903 84 points 2 days ago As soon as times get tough (war, natural disaster, economic crash, etc.), they immediately revert to the 1950's little helpless fawn/damsel in distress. This generally applies to even the most ravenous feminazi, unless she munches carpet and looks like a dude. As soon as times get good again (because MEN made them good) then they're "independent" and "empowered" women.

I’m sure if an when these guys accidentally set fire to their homes with their balky generators they will steadfastly refuse the help of emergency services, because relying on others for help is for pussies.
This fellow, meanwhile, imagines a fun and kicky Mad Max scenario that for some reason involves a great deal of macaroni.
Another fellow fantasizes about trading sandwiches for sex:
I’m pretty sure most women would rather starve.
Which, apparently, is what most of those on the MGTOW subreddit would prefer for them as well.

And MGTOWs still try to convince people that their lady-hating cult is all about “self-improvement.” Nothing about these guys is new or improved.
Wow, these guys sound really scared of women.
@frances
It’s just as well that Mr Macaroni On A Dirt Bike isn’t toasting hot dogs on a stick. He sounds dumb enough to use an oleander branch and poison himself.
@Pie
Have you made box mac ‘n cheese lately? It calls for milk and margarine/butter as ingredients. Good luck with those when your only equipment is a camping stove.
“Also, MACARONI AND CHEESE? WHAT THE HELL?”
(+ all the other comments to the same effect)
There you hear the cry of the Eternal Child. Inside he’s still 4 years old and still squalling: “Someday I’m gonna get BIG and I’m gonna be my OWN BOSS and I’m gonna get to eat ALL THE MACARONI AND CHEESE I WANT — so THERE.” {Pout ensues.}
Besides, this can’t be a coincidence.
Can it? What do you think?
You’re all assuming macaroni guy is going to eat the stuff. But maybe he plans to use his downtime to make macaroni art?
Mgtow is all about self-improvement as a man!

That really sums up mgtows disgustingly nicely. Discussing people in need but really, they’d rather watch them all die.
On the lighter note,you guys! I finally contacted my cousin and nieces who lived in FL. They were living near Naples but left and are heading north (out of state). To all the FL mammothers, please please stay safe <3
Do these idiots’ mothers know they’re wasting battery power to post that crap? Do any of them work? Have they ever?
@bekabot I think you’re absolutely right.
@Policy of Madness
Again, you’re assuming that the guy in question is a total fucking idiot. The fact that he’s a total fucking asshole is kinda irrelevant to that fact. I’d be cautious about assuming that people are completely useless just because they are deeply unpleasant.
I’m assuming that the power goes out, and he is making the same assumption. Your mac ‘n cheese made with just water (and possibly not even potable water) after the power has been out long enough for the apocalypse to start is going to taste like ass. What genius are you ascribing to him that would allow him to bypass this problem?
@ verily
Heh, well you know what we’re like. 🙂

(I refreshed my first aid certificate recently and the instructor made a thing about “Stop giving people f**king cups of tea!”. Apparently it’s not the best treatment for a traumatic amputation. I love learning new stuff like that.)
@ pie
Ooh, I didn’t know that. But I can well believe it. They can do a mini China Syndrome if you’re not careful about what you put them on.
(What’s the other ingredients? Asking for a friend.)
I’m thinking that, if he had thought this through, boxed mac and cheese is not what he would have gotten. No reason it can’t be made edible with non-perishable ingredients – olive oil and powdered milk – I’m just not sure that’s where his brain went.
Not sure what I would get under the circumstances; up here, power outages generally involve cold temperatures, not humidity and floods, so pancake/bannock ingredients generally get us through (gas stove). Maybe canned meat, potatoes or potato flakes, canned veg, root vegetables which hold well without a fridge, and condiments – you can go a while with pretty boring food if there’s mustard or hot sauce or ketchup to put on it. Dried milk. Lots of ziplock bags to keep dry stuff dry. Sugar. Tea or coffee, or whatever else one puts in boiled water to make it tasty. Oil.
I wonder if the gentleman in question has thought about protecting his mac stash from water. He could end up sitting in a soup of orange water and crunchy mac.
I mean, not defending mac and cheese guy (that is not my go to hurricane food) but I make the powdered stuff with just water all the time. It’s better with butter and milk, but just fine with water.
If I were expecting rescue within a week (and I would be, under these circumstances) I would stock up on pre-cooked canned food and bottled water. The bottled water is the most important bit, because an ordinarily-healthy person can survive much longer than a week on no food, but not without drinkable water. A can opener and a spoon completes my pantry. No need for even a camping stove.
@Policy of Madness
Do you suppose that you’re a genius, that you know these things?
Again: stop assuming that someone is a total fucking idiot, just because they’re a total fucking asshole.
Underestimating your opponent is foolish. So don’t do that.
That would mean nothing to a man prepared to eat seagull.
It’s not the power that’s the issue with the macaroni, it’s that you need potable water to cook it. In a flooding situation that becomes a pretty desireable commodity very fast. Not a great idea for survival food.
@ POM
We’ve always been taught “3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food”. Apparently that is a pretty reliable guide for survival, across a surprisingly wide range of environments.
Sooo … I’m saying that mac ‘n cheese is a poor choice for survival food, and you’re saying … what? That it totally is a great choice because of reasons? And this guy is brilliant to make this choice over spam?
I’m baffled as to the premises underlying your point.
@Alan Robertson
Very strong fuming nitric acid is an important one, unfortunately. You can make it from household ingredients, depending on the sort of household you live in, but it isn’t much fun to work with.
@Policy of Madness
Please point to where I said it was a great choice.
Take your time.
You keep saying he’s not an idiot. His choice of mac ‘n cheese is being used to conclude that he is one. So this implies that you believe his choice is not idiotic.
It’s time for you to either stfu or say straight out what your premises actually are, because I’m not playing this “guess what I mean” game with you any longer.
@Policy of Madness
Apart from his misogynistic fantasies and peculiar choice of diet, he’s showed no outward signs of being a fucking idiot. He’s not enthusing about seagulls, for example.
You’ve come up with a handful of simple, obvious ways in which mr mac’n’cheese’s plan could go wrong. You seem to be unable to imagine that he might have considered them too. I am patiently pointing out that this might not have a very sound basis.
You seem to be having serious problems a) reading the simple point I’ve made, clearly, more than once, and b) considering the possibility that you have shaky assumptions.
The fact that you are not a MGTOW speaks well of you, but it doesn’t make you infallible.
Put up or shut up: what are your premises for concluding that “this guy is an idiot” is an unwarranted conclusion, based on the information we have?
@Policy of Madness
What makes you think you are so much vastly more intelligent that him, other than the fact you’re not an MGTOW?
What makes you think you can dictate terms to me, just because you’re irritated?
@Pie
So basically you have no premises and no logical operation for your conclusion and you’re just spouting off nonsense for no reason.
Good we’ve cleared this up. Great discussion.
