So I was taking a lazy Sunday stroll through the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit when I spotted a post about life in our alleged “gynocratic hellscape.” That’s an automatic click for me.
To my surprise, the post turned out to be a weird attempt at MGTOW-spiration:
Remember as you look upon this gynocentric hellscape…
…that this is what millions, perhaps even billions of men throughout history have died for. For men to be mocked, abused and disposed of. Don’t repeat their mistake.
Your name will not be remembered. Your sacrifices will not be honored. You will not see the fruits of your labor towards society.
Live and work only for yourself. Go your own way.
Very inspirational!
So inspirational, in fact, that it inspired one MGTOW brother to type out his own personal hot take on the hot-button issue of … lesbians, and why so many powerful women are (apparently) women who love women (in bed).
“You could estimate that the number of these women in power and moving up the ranks, at least in my sphere, are 97% dyke,” declared champagne-n-pompano.
Given that lesbians are basically Women Going Their Own Way (for real), you might think that Men Who Like to Say that They Are Going Their Own Way would have a certain level of professional respect for them. Not so much.
These women hate your guts for just being a man, and have no shame couching every single thought that crosses her mind within some gender paradigm. Every move they make, every decision has to first reflect the consideration of the clit-o-centric gods.
The what-o-whatric whats?
Just a few anecdotes while you guys sip your coffees this morning.
ESPN, Fox, the Golf Channel and the NHL channel ALL had females covering yesterdays highlights. Every channel I flipped to was a fucking bitch skreetching, chirping, and nasally whining the sports reports for us. No. Off.
Chirping?
The newspaper in my town has at least two stories, as always, shaming the community for allowing women to be abused and be denied positions of influence.
Two stories. TWO STORIES! How long must we men endure the crushing weight of our oppression?
My friend’s employer has four women in prominent roles in the company. In the last three years, two of them have divorced and come out as gay carpet munchers …
When the going gets tough, you don’t want a gay-carpet muncher. You want a GAY carpet-muncher.
… and the other two were newer “hot” moms, thrust up the ranks because of degrees they hold, while juggling new babies and family life, work life, which is always secondary to everything else they “gotta do”.
Anyway, these other two are now both divorcing their husbands. And he thinks they are also going dike.
Yes, and I’m sure his gaydar is FLAWLESS.
So all four of these women who were married when joining his company and thrust up the ranks posing as “hetero” breeders with wholesome families and college experiences and the glistening pieces of paper that says “Masters of C*nt” on them, they all shed their fake facades and go full butch.
Do … do a lot of schools offer Masters f C*nt programs these days? It’s been a while since I was in school.
Just a massive barn fire of shit. lol
Yes, I’m sure that’s what your life is.
Someone called ManGoingtoTOWn stepped up to provide his explanation for the alleged Lesbian Ascendency.
Lesbians are so prominent in society because they are masculinized. They actually have ambition.
Look at trans women. These are men who turn into women. Trans women dominate women in whatever field they are in. Women are now complaining that trans women are taking over women’s groups. LOL.
That’s because masculinized humans are more ambitious.
Testosterone counts.
I love that song by Depeche Mode!
Not so sure about the rest of his theory.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
David, I hope you read this. Did you hear NPR today? A 45 minute segment dedicated to the Manosphere. Summer (forgot his first name) was interviewed and he touched on practically the entire Manosphere from Incel to MGTOW to MRA to PUA to AltRight to AltLight and how and where all of this intersects. A conversation about where Jordan Peterson fits in (or doesn’t) ensued. And George Sodini (remember him?) was brought up. Then in the second half Michael Kimmel was interviewed. It was a very good, thorough and well summarized segment.
One point Kimmel or Summer (forget which one) brings up is that most of the Manosphere guys that he’s interviewed fall into what he called the “center democrat” position politically. They are, according to him, uncomfortable with Trump and his attitudes policies around immigration, and they see him as buffering the elite wealthy class while not doing anything for middle class and poor Americans (like them). They want class and economic equality, at least equality of opportunity, YET in relationships they want to have a sort of privileged patriarchy.
Have you found anything like this in your own years of researching the Manosphere?
Anyway, try find it on their website and maybe write to them and ask to be interviewed the next time they do a Manosphere segment, because this is going to be an ongoing thing.
Yeah, the Cliteratti are taking over. Eyeroll.
These guys would sure as FUCK hate this song.

Umm, close. At least Mr. MGTOW didn’t say they are just “men”, or “men who dress as/pose as/pretend to be/want to be women”, or similarly.
Except for one little thing: transwomen have been feminized!
Oh, the projection. They accuse us of fearing the man who is going his own way and doesn’t need women. Even though we all just want MGTOW to finally go already. Yet nothing terrifies them more than a lesbian with a successful career. A woman actually for real going her own way. It’s fucking hilarious.
Um. What “field” is this guy in in which there are all these ambitious lesbians with high powered, good paying jobs.
Asking for uh, a friend. Yeah. 😐
Where is he getting this idea that trans women are more successful in their careers than cis women anyway? Any facts to back that up. Because 10 seconds on Google clicking on the first link I saw, found this
https://www.hrc.org/blog/transgender-workers-at-greater-risk-for-unemployment-and-poverty
Even if being AMAB automatically did make one superior at their work, discrimination is still, you know, a big thing. It’s not like promotions and hiring are even 100% close to merit based.
MGTOWs may actually be making me gayer.
…especially if you GYOW, because if you don’t contribute, you don’t get shit. See how that works?
Oh wait, we’re supposed to be talking here about lesbians, eh? Well, not being one myself, I can’t really say for sure what’s going on in their minds, but I’m pretty sure it’s not this:
Naw, dude. Your oh-so-considerate offer to “convert” one into a straight woman with a wave of your magic
peniswand was declined for obvious reasons. Namely, she’s gay and she’s all right with that, and you’re just an ass and that’s not all right.And now you’ve offgassed at the keyboard about all these women you think must be gay just because they’re not all down on their knees in front of your open zipper.
I hope you at least feel better after having spewed that, because none of it makes any sense.
Lesbians are not Women Going Their Own Way. Lesbianism is a sexuality, not a hate movement. It’s about love (or at the very least, sex), not about hate. I get that you’re just being tongue-in-cheek but I want to make it very clear there are absolutely ZERO parallels between the two.
^What she said!
ETA: ‘Masters of Cunt’
Damn, where was that program when I was in school?!
ETA2: Wait, wouldn’t ‘Mistress’ be more appropriate than Master?
No, you fool, it’s “clit-o-centric goddesses“! Get your slurs straight! (Pun not intended.)
No, no. What with the ascent of “clit-o-centrism”, there’s also Masters of Clit degrees.
Not to be confused with degrees in Cunnilinguistics, Vulvanomics, or Pubic Relations.
Women “thrust up the ranks” of employment because they hold relevant qualifications????? The horror! He’s right, this preference toward competent employees cannot be allowed to stand!
Pubic relations, you say?
I…I think I should go back to school…
hello yes it me. why humans pay to see foopball fly and not birb?
new Olympic sport aim funyun directly into beak oh look i win the gold.
i am disguise as muffin. i am #1 darft pick of me.
now i am misander onto your car from above. bombs away
Two words: Howard Cosell.
It always cracks me up to see men whining about female sportscasters. I quite like female commentators. So many of the male commentators, especially the older ones make the most cringeworthy jokes. They try so hard to be funny and it just doesn’t work at all. I almost can’t even listen to some of them. Basketball announcers are the worst. Especially Dick Vitale. He just makes me want to punch myself in the eardrums. I did like the BBC gymnastics commentator, the late Mitch Fenner but he didn’t try to be funny very often.
“You have a right to work but not to the fruits of work.” – B.G.
He means tweeting.
Well think of it like this; if its a daily paper and 2 stories per day, that’s 14 incidences a week, and 730 instances per year, in one town only, of women being abused and/or denied positions of influence. That’s a helluva lot of misogyny for a town.
No. No they’re not. Neither of these things are actually happening. But, if trans women were to get involved with literally ANY group I’m part of, I’d roll out the red fucking carpet and a few glitter cannons to make sure they know how welcome they are. Because they may have travelled a different road from me, but we are all women.
@ Buttercup Q. Skullpants,
Yes. And don’t forget that women are supposed to have,
in their minds, cute, girly, giggly, voices.
Myself and comrades here, who do work on various business ideas, (and will go with Homely real estate agents, if we ever formally expand into this area 😀 )
We’re all conventionally attractive, we are not doing any type of sex.
Gave up on all that. With men, since we are, or once were, straight. Our other Z says: The chemo drugs wiped out my hormones! She was bad sick. And speaking of real estate, she was glad that I asked for help on something the other day because it “took the mind off” of panic over hair falling out.
(It isn’t, calmed her down, and the paperwork put the mind off.)
Wow. Who’d have thought it? Women who actually do work. Actual boring paperwork!
You know who’s got a lot of bull shit going on? Banks. Oh lawyers and notaries are not enough, you need various medallion stamps?
What’s next? Can we do sticker books? Do you want to play Barbies?
Feckin ridiculous paperwork.
“More egregious examples of rent seeking”. <- Other Z has an MBA 🙂
Another thing we came upon, this has to do with real estate in our general home area here, where there is to be upcoming water way work, and we all here read and discussed a report by USACE. (US army corps of engineers.)
Well, that must've called for much booze! Yes indeed. I was wildly alarmed by the table of contents alone.
Via various geology mentioned in this, I came upon some anomaly mentioned, which is this:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-des-plaines-disturbance-20170207-htmlstory.html
It's an ancient crater, from a meteor impact, millions of years ago.
How fascinating is this? They exist all over too.
I had no idea such a thing existed around here. This is not far from us. And probably good to know of because what if you wanted to move there, or build something? It probably has no bearing on simple residential or smaller commercial structures.
But it might have an impact on earthquake insurance.
Stuff like this is not very "feminine" to think of, either. I'm pretty sure (in some men's minds) that we're supposed to be having a pillow fight.
Instead it's: I don't wonder if all the ground here could simply collapse….
Well, there's a cheery thought!
Illustrates something else, too. For women to ponder such things is often seen as too masculine, but if you were partnered up with a "traditional" sort of man – guess who'd be handling "the paperwork"? Hint: Wife.
why young men?
@WWTH – I know, men can be prone to biased/vapid sports commentary too. Stuff like “They’re really gonna want to score right now.” You don’t say?!?
I think these MGTOW types realllly don’t like reminders that women are human. It genuinely makes them angry. Sexthings aren’t supposed to have accomplishments or backstories.
Nice bit of IMAX projection here:
Unlike this guy, who can’t even watch sports TV without ragequitting over the icky feeeemales.
Excuse me, MGTOW Who Can’t Seem To Get Around to Actually Going His Own Way, that should be clit-o-centric GODDESSES!
Interesting that you never see women who have gone their own way, i.e. women like me who do not want to be sexually or romantically involved with anyone currently alive on the planet, joining forums to bitch about how shitty teh menz are all the time.
By the way, could I get an honorary Masters of C*nt degree? I’ve been on this planet for a little over 53 years, excel in resting bitch face, and am generally a big fat bag of snark.
@Z&T
One of my favorite geological developments of the past several decades has been the dawning realization that there’s impact craters all over the planet and we just didn’t notice them. My favorite story is there’s a valley in like… Austria maybe? That’s suspiciously round. And it was argued back and forth whether it was a coincidence, whether it was a old volcanic feature, or whether it was an impact crater.
None of those theories went anywhere. It was a bit too neat to be a coincidence, but there were none of the telltale signs of like a caldera ejection that would cause a big round crater, and neither were there any meterorite materials or shock quartz (when sand or dirt gets vaporized by a big fireball into glass, like the trinitite made at the atomic bomb tests in Alamogordo).
until a geologist who was visiting a local ancient church realized that the entire thing was carved out of it. It’d been smack in the center of the crater, right where it was supposed to be, the entire damn time.
Speaking of geology, me and my family had been planning a Hawaii trip this June. Been planning it for like two years now. The place we booked? In Leilani Estates.
The road to it is now under about two feet of lava, and there’s a solid chance the house is gone. We saw the property manager getting interviewed at an evacuation center by the Wall Street Journal. >.<
Luckily when you go to visit a volcano you usually remember to do shit like pay for cancellation or rebooking insurance, so we were able to move all the reservations to somewhere else cause honestly we can't afford not to go, we already bought the tickets and shit.
And we're all from California, we've been through 7.0 magnitude quakes, so we're like "fuck it, we knew we were going to a giant flaming mountain that's been continuously exploding since like 1983, we knew what we were getting into".
But is it wrong I'm kinda excited? How cool would it be to see something like the unbridled wrath of the goddess Pele surge into the sea in a fiery deathstorm of steam and sulfuric acid?
Also, how crazy is it we live on a world where shit like that happens? What do you think people used to make of this sort of thing? After Krakatoa, giant pumice rafts full of skeletons washed up on the shore of Africa like a year later. How the fuck would you even begin to explain that?
