So today I’d like to present the first post in what I hope will become a long-running series: MGTOWs Explain Sex.
Because who knows sex better than dudes who’ve loudly declared their independence from women but for some reason spend their every waking moment obsessing over them? Who better to turn to for advice on sex than straight dudes who hate women so thoroughly they center their very identity around this hatred?
As you read the first entry in this series, drawn from the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, I think you’ll understand just how valuable their advice can be.
One commenter found that final sentence to be a little confusing. Happily, other commenters were able to explain its implications to him.
MGTOW sexmaster ZCnegan went on to urge his fellow MGTOWs to avoid eating soy foods. And ass.
I hope all you men reading this are taking notes. Ladies, you don’t need to write anything down. All you need to do in order to do the sex properly is to lie there motionless until you are given further instructions (re screaming, talking dirty, etc) by the appropriate dude.
@Buttercup
Bravo! That was beautiful. 🙂
In my personal experience (anecdotal at best, I know), these statements bear no relation to reality. That makes me happy and hopeful for humanity. Maybe not for these guys. If they’re so set on going their own way, I think they need to go further, preferably into a rocketship heading for Sol.
To an MGTOW, a woman moving during sex is obviously trying to escape.
I’ve taken to informing my fiance about the things he does wrong, especially in regards to sex, according to miggytoes and the like. He seems quite confused.
I have also tried to change my behaviour to be more female, like lying about not having baked when he told me I should rather relax. That only confuses him more.
I am getting the hunch that they may be talking bullshit.
Two-pump chumps, the lot of ’em.
So what is the woman’s motive for participating in this activity? Something something submissive blah blah rape fantasy?
I just let a couple of interesting comments through. One of them, from MrBadAss, is a bit, er, problematic but I thought people might want to react to it? If you folks think it’s wildly inappropriate I will happily delete or edit it.
Nequam, I think you might be giving them too much credit.
What do these men think counts as a “skill?” Is it only STEM training and management experience?
This is almost certainly the wrong thing to be focused on, but I can’t fathom who they think that screaming, talking dirty, or “being submissive” as directed doesn’t require skill.
I mean, there are people in Hollywood who have been paid hundreds of millions of dollars to scream when instructed to scream and say things they’re instructed to say.
@calmdown : I thinks thoses people don’t actually understand that there are other sentient creature beside themselves ; so they assume they work on some mysterious programming. Similar to how some hunter think that deers can’t suffer and ensure you that the aforementioned deers taunt them until they chase and kill them.
Speaking of songs about Tinder, which someone was, here’s a good one:

The band has a bunch of very catchy songs with funny, feminist lyrics.

Little ears are a specific turn on for some people. No shade to anyone who has em or who likes someone who has em, just didn’t know that
Ear and shoe size, stench levels, skin softness, voice register, etc must be rigidly weighed and measured. But vagina is vagina amirite?
The people most obsessed with defining and imposing femininity can’t be any more specific than… “ways”
Straight dudes are only straight, cos women are around. Anytime a guy goes without female interaction for, I dunno, a few weeks or so, he turns gay. I mean, that’s just science y’all
They would stop hunting the mammoth for you, but they literally can’t help themselves. Also women are weak
Women should love men, but don’t worry about actually getting to know the men you’re supposed to love. Just do it, cos species

Thanks, Ass. Happy to have learned from your lecture. Do I get a degree from the University of Assfax now too?

Anything a feeemale does is easy, QED
What’s with these guys and lions? There are a lot of “lions mating” vids on YouTube (enough that I suspect it’s a kink for some people); and you know what you see a lot of? The male lion waiting until he’s sure the female is really interested:
What’s with these guys and lions? There are tons of lions-mating videos on YouTube (enough I suspect it’s a kink); and you generally see the lion waiting for the lioness to make it clear she’s interested:
Most of the Manosphere seems to be pretty obsessed with non-human animal mating habits in general, but only the cases that support their bogus theories. The whole “wolf hierarchy” thing has been largely debunked but the MRM still clings to it as %100 REAL SCIENCE. Women are also compared to the worst female behavior of the entire animal kingdom. I know some lady insects eat/kill their mates, ok? That doesn’t mean we’re all responsible for it, dude.
What about trans men and women? Should I expect my male skills to atrophy away? Is my friend suddenly more skilled than me? What sort of time frame does this happen in?
Oh right. Migtoes. So something something assfax, something something soy, blah blah birth control in the water.
Given that I’ve spent the last few weeks lifting my grandmother because she’s gotten too weak to get up off the toilet and couch on her own, I’m not feeling particularly soft and delicate right now. Traditional women’s work such as elder and child care, nursing, housework before modern conveniences etc. are all hard physical labor. Just as much as traditional men’s work. This myth that women are all soft and delicate and weak needs to die in a fire.
Sorry to burst your bubble, Mr Bad Ass. Your perception of women is not based on reality. You clearly need to see us as weak and childlike to feel good about yourself. But fetishizing us as pretty little damsels is not love. It’s objectification.
@ mooncufaster
Heh, thank you for reminding me of this.
These men are obsessed with lions…male lions because it soothes their need to be these alpha kings, “king of the jungle.” Also, male lions seem to run some kind of harem while the lionesses seem to hunt for them and wait on them hand and foot, and they get first dibs at the food… which is what these men drool over. Lastly, lions represent pride and vanity… which these guys are disgustingly stuffed to the brim with.

Remember when he said, “getting to know you is just a bonus?”
Not only do men like that not really want to get to know their mates in the first place, it shows they don’t love women at all. Getting to love and know them is a mere afterthought and a “maybe if I feeeeel like it,” kind of thing. You can’t love someone or something you don’t know about. It is all blind lust.
Funnily enough, he said that all men want women to do is love and adore them without question or wavering…. but they clearly do not love the woman. It is all as good as unrequited love, even if the woman loves the unattached dullard with all her heart. It takes two people for true love. Anything less is a sham. It’s a one-sided relationship where we should love, accept them and get to know them unconditionally… but they will never stoop as low as to do the same for us.
I really wish these men would just be honest in their more than obvious intentions. =.=
We all know it, everyone sees it, but you call it out, you are called soy-boy, feminazi or man-hater. Funnily enough, these same men admit their atrocities, and everything’s gucci.
@Axecalibur: Middle Name Danger
I think you kinda missed my point, which is that thinking of sex as nothing beyond you getting off while the other person just lies there is treating it no different than masturbation. It’s not about empathy, it’s about the other person being an active participant in some way, rather than just there.
But besides that, you’re right about that first part, plenty of non-virgin guys think of it that way too, but I didn’t back when I was a virgin and I still don’t.
I suspect that it’s because the male lion is a lazy user who lasts five seconds in the sack, but nobody questions his manliness. It’s what all the miggies aspire to.
@Llama, welcome! That sounds suuuper awkward and bewildering. I’m glad you got out of there, that sounds like a deftly dodged disaster.
@MrBadAss,
I’m gonna splice up your comment so that I can deal with it in parts!
Let me go get my knives.
You love women for superficial appearance-reasons? For the way women look, and for the performance of traditional femininity? Instead of loving women for, you know, the person that they are?
You love women as long as they wedge themselves into the delicate flower-mold that society decrees they have to have?
No shit, Sherlock.
Unless the specific woman in question doesn’t perform those feminine ways properly. Or if she isn’t appropriately delicate. Or obedient. Then she deserves it.
(psst, that’s called intimidation tactics)
I’ll take “Tautology” for $500, Alex. What is, “failing to read the sarcasm?”
What you’ve done here is called the faulty generalization fallacy. Specifically, in the previous sentence you were talking about how cis-het men can’t help but have attraction to hetero women. In this sentence, you’ve generalized to all men, claiming that it’s a biological determinant. Your generalization carries your conclusion, because if all men are attracted to women, then it’s a determinant, but we know that’s not true, because we see your faulty generalization, and there are lots of types of men. Cis, Heterosexual men are one category only, and can’t claim the mantle of manhood as you seem to do here.
This is wrong on so many levels. Let me give you a few.
Third, history is notorious about erasing women from the record. It’s only been a few decades since women were even allowed to use their own first name in many documents without being thought of as wrong. We have such little evidence about women in history that historians – mostly men – make assumptions. Based on modern expectations. Just like you do.
Seventh, come off it. Men didn’t build society for women. People built society for people. I thought it was feminists who were supposed to be the ones unfairly dividing things up on gender lines?
14th, Women put in a huge amount of the work involved in the movement of society. Men generally swan about in suits and ties while women mop, cut, monitor and move things. And I don’t just mean babies and meals here. Women are well represented in the tiers of the work force that get-shit-done.
I can go on, but I don’t want to embarrass you. Gotta leave you something to do after all!
Oh, that’s fun. Let’s see here. Naturalistic fallacy, Fundamental Attribution Error all over the place, Typical Mind fallacy, Begging the Question, Mind Projection fallacy… I mean, you could be more wrong, but to compress all that into such a small space really is something else.
I won’t bother pulling that block apart because I doubt you’re going to come back. Gotta leave you something to look forward to after all!
@MrBadAss
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but those are your preferences. One of my My good exes appreciates me because I’m not delicate or act traditional. He liked my grit and assertiveness
@Pretty Pink And that always makes me laugh, too! Male lions don’t generally eat first. Since females are the ones who hunt and get prey, they will eat first until the male/s arrive, and then allow them to the food. Lower females and cubs are last.
Beyond that I’m going, Okay, I’m not very active in bed, but not moving at all? You know how much muscle control is required to not move AT ALL? That would absolutely require skill and iron control.
