Today (March 8th) is International Women’s Day, also known as International “Men Being Dicks About International Women’s Day” Day — and few men are celebrating that second holiday more enthusiastically than Reddit’s contingent of Men Going Their Own Way.
Reddit’s MGTOWs celebrated, or pretended that they had celebrated, the holiday in an assortment of ways, from jerking off to porn, to playing videogames, to jerking off to porn.
A few of these alleged “celebrations” bore more than a slight resemblance to symptoms of depression.
But many others — perhaps influenced by the imaginary holiday Festivus, famously invented by George Costanza’s father on Seinfeld — set aside the day for the ritual Airing of Grievances.
So in other words, today was a day like every other on the MGTOW subreddit, only a little more so than usual.
Some of their complaints:
Women are “fuckin leeches.”
Correction: UNGRATEFUL fuckin leeches.
They’re unprofessional.
They make bad music.
Actually, they’re bad at all artistic endeavors:
They were really bitchy during the last Internationa Men’s Day.
They sometimes entice “simps” into wishing them a happy International Women’s Day in order to get laid.
They’re not even oppressed!
I can’t quite figure out what exactly women are doing to piss this dude off.
A few of the regulars decided to declare today “International MGTOW Day,” apparently forgetting that less than a month ago they had declared Valentine’s Day to be “International MGTOW Day.”
And then there’s this guy, who tried to paste a link to this in the comments here, evidently not realizing or not caring that he’s permabanned because, well, he regularly tries to post shit like this here, which is unhinged even by MGTOW standards.
Wait, what?
Setting aside the alleged ongoing genocide of men for now, have a very happy International Women’s Day!
I am pleased to share my birthday with International Women’s Day. Given how apparently androcentric my life has been, I’ve been fortunate to have had a plenitude of remarkable and accomplished women in it.
And no men like the burbling whatsits quoted above.
Happy birthday, Robert. Mine were yesterday. 😛
happy w day ladies
Thanks for reminding me how cute Shatner used to be when he got mad.
Added: Happy birthday, Robert. Cheers.
Happy birthday, Robert.
LOL JK BRO NO HOMO
But just to be clear, men being attracted to other men doesn’t actually upset me as a woman. ?. Nor does men doing this:
You do you, bro, that sounds like a solid Thursday.
Happy Birthday, Robert!
Happy Birthday, Robert!
Whelp, doesn’t surprise me that they’re upset, they were literally screaming “WHAT ABOUT MEN?!?!” in a report regarding polar bears, two weeks ago.
Bit of graffiti from Pompeii. Guess MGTOWs have been around forever.
(“Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!”)
Happy Birthday Robert!
Well three points about the pointless whining
1)I’m personally laughing at the bottom one about how men say it to get laid. I just got wished a happy Women’s Day by a man…. A very into men man.
I’m pretty sure like 100 percent sure he wasn’t or will ever try to get laid with me LMAO..
2) buying crap we don’t need is fun. I encourage all the beings of the world to try it once.
3) the music guy has heard of Sia right? She not only sings but she is responsible for writing several popular songs for both make and female artists
(also I feel sorry if sometimes I use reality binary exclusive language I’m still learning about the gender and sex difference as I grew up in a state where bisexuality was considered a kink rather than an actual orientation for years so my environment didn’t help)
Loads of love for y’all
RevolutionaryMGTOW is going his own way so hard he keeps trying to post here even though he’s been banned.
I think Judge Aquilina does a good job of expressing how much we care about his screeds
Barely left the dorm today
Isn’t much for me to say
Some things didn’t go my way
Nevertheless, have a happy Women’s Day
Hugs, Troubelle.
I got to see a kickass IWD parade pass by in Prague today. Apparently they take it very seriously over here.
I didn’t realize the whiny babies of the MGTOW movement needed an excuse to piss moan about women. And what part of the piss moaning is the going “their own way” part?
@Alan Robertshaw
That bingo card made you my new favorite human being.

I can’t claim credit though; a friend sent it to me.
Happy International Women’s Day! Or Wyvern’s Day, for those of us who are scaly and fire-breathing.
RE: Women artists
I rather like The Veronicas.

International rathian day? That’s also a thing I would celebrate 😛
Happy birthdays, celebrants! Enjoy your, well, evenings by now.
As for the rest, well, miggies gonna miggy.
Love the Bingo card, think you can work in an “Actually…..” – though that’s a subset of mansplaining, I guess.
Should be the free space – it’s nearly always implied. 😛
Funny, but I associate those topics more with songs written by men than by women. You’d think he’d complain that women write too many songs about romance, feelings, and other “girly” stuff.
@Shadowplay
Being an anti-feminist implies that you lecture women about their own experience.
