Martin Luther King was famously influenced by Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent resistance. So, apparently, are the high-minded civil rights activists of the Men Going Their Own Way movement. Only they hope that they can use this powerful tactic to make the women who won’t have sex with them feel bad about themselves.
Yes, fellows. I’m sure women will be absolutely heartbroken to learn that they will be deprived of you.
But if you’re really going to get serious about this whole nonviolent resistance thing you might want to learn how to spell the name “Gandhi.”
If a tree that nobody wants falls in the woods, is he still a pathetic loser?
Gandhi wasn’t particularly nice towards women, if I recall correctly… :-/

“…they might get future generations to get back on the plantation…”
Well, that’s telling, isn’t it?
Haven’t they been going their own way for years now? I don’t think they’ve even made it to the end of the street yet. :/
They have nothing we want or need. They will be waiting until death.
Yeah, when you use an expression like “get back on the plantation”, you don’t get to pretend that you have the moral high ground.
A strike is where you withhold labour which others want from you. It doesn’t really work if nobody wanted that labour in the first place.
Man, if these guys just invested a fraction of the time they used inflating their own self importance into something more constructive, they might actually accomplish something in their pathetic lives….
Isn’t a lot of evopsych biotruth logic based on women needing to be choosier because eggs are few in number compared to sperm? Now I personally disagree that any human sexual behavior needs to be based on sperm and egg counts, but it is a fair point that sperm is unlikely to ever be a rare commodity. Even if there was a cock market, it wouldn’t be in danger of crashing as long as a small percentage of men would be willing to make donations at the sperm bank. We don’t need that many sperm carriers to keep the human race going. Not that it’s going to be an issue because the majority of humans of all genders desire romantic companionship. If anything, men seem to want it more. Despite what the rom-coms and newspaper editorials say. The MGTOW mission of eventually recruiting enough men to make relationships rare and precious is just so obviously unrealistic. It’s so unrealistic that it makes the libertarian plan to go Galt and build a perfect libertarian utopia seem sensible.
OT, but my subculture isn’t immune from bullshit like this either, apparently: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/furry-alt-right-russia-fandom_us_5aba4741e4b054d118e70e7d
But surely you can’t crash “the cock market” by withdrawing your supply when the market remains flooded, and with much higher-grade products than reddit misogynists?
Protip: Passive-Aggressive is not the same thing as Passive Resistance. And you don’t get credit for being nonviolent if the reason for your lack of violence is because you’re too chickenshit to do it yourself but you secretly (or openly!) pray for others to do your dirty work for you. Mind you, when your definition of “going your own way” is “not going your own way, and also continuing to harass the people you were allegedly going your own way to get away from” you really can’t expect much in the form of understanding how words work.
(Not that I want these people to actually get violent, but lets not pretend it’s for some grand moral gesture.
That’s… not how market crashes happen
Well, if we’re going off topic, my decision to avoid the Roseanne reboot even though I’m a fan of the original has been really validated.

Oh, and I stumbled across this picture looking at the comments

Nope!
My advice for men who don’t like women, is to be come a Registered Nurse.
I am male, and was a Navy Hospital Corpsman who, upon discharge went to college and got a Bachelors Degree in nursing.
For 45 years I worked primarily with women that were intelligent,
competent and caring, in situations that would send manly men rushing to the exits.
I also had many women friends who were happy to be with me and introduced me to their friends.
Believe me, women will sleep with friends they respect and trust.
I have been a bicycle racer, mountain climber, and done all the masculine stuff too.
Wow. Having been a fan of the original show back in the day, I am seriously disappointed to find out in real life Rosanne Barr is the female Ted Nugent.
I watched it. Rather enjoyed it.
I love his way with words – “crash the cock market”. I’m being sarcastic here. He’s dehumanizing men as well as women. These MGTOWs. May they find peace.
In my imagination the cock market is a stall set out on the street, in Historical Olden Tymes, with a variety of severed dried cocks for sale, and a lovely lady calling out to passersby “Cock jerky! Get your cock jerky here!”
But out here in RealityLand, I don’t think the cock market is a thing.
OT: A followup on Milo Yiannopolous’s fake scholarship for lower-class white men:
Long story short, he closed the charity, claiming the grant money he collected has been “allocated to worthy recipients,” but nobody’s come forward as a beneficiary and the only proof is a list of first names on the organization’s website. But we already knew the Privilege Grant was bogus.
Seeing as it’s Milo, I’m going to put on my shocked face.
I yam SOOOOO surprised
hmmm…
that’s interesting…
apparently the auto-moderator doesn’t like my new ‘nym, and throws everything into “waiting for moderation”….
🙁 🙁
@wwth
romantic intimacy, emotional intimacy, intellectual intimacy, social intimacy… which our poor MGTOW brothers (I say that only partially sarcastically) seem to ignore in a desperate quest for sexual intimacy….
In the immortal word of the Cheeto-in-Cheef, “sad”
Men have more to gain when getting a servant around the house, women have more to lose when becoming one. Because even if you go all ‘feminazi’ and refuse to do more than your fair share, you will eventually tire of living in filth, and just do it yourself.
To that end, Iiving apart together is about the only way I’d ever get married again. 😉
