Not long ago, we met some Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists happily declaring that the coronavirus must be a TERF like them because it was disproportionately killing men — and (allegedly) making trans women sad.
Today, let’s meet some Men Going Their Own Way who think the deadly virus is “MGTOW’s Greatest Ally” because it’s forcing women to return to the home instead of “wandering around” fucking Chads and having jobs and stuff like that. And maybe after the coronavirus goes away — these dudes think — women will want to stay at home instead of returning to the big scary world out there.
“Fear changes Women,” writes a Reddit MGTOW called Fourwordsalluppercase. “How many are going to want to stay at home after this is all done?”
Lots, he thinks.
I mean every Women I know is already on meds for anxiety and this is not going to make it better. Women going to be thirsty for that kitchen that has power and heat, running water and food all provided by and paid for by a Man and all they are supposed to do is cook it and clean after. Maybe take a dick once a week.
Such a lovely evocation of the joys of marriage.
And even if these women want to go back to work, other MGTOWs ask, who’s to say there will even be jobs left for them after “employers … get rid of these made-up positions created just for women that don’t bring any profit?”
Someone called RS67 adds:
One of the best things to come out of this whole coronavirus shit, is that society had been reminded who actually does all the work in this world.
Never mind that the vast majority of those on the front lines of the fight against coronavirus — healthcare workers — are women. And never mind all the women working in grocery stores and pharmacies and so on who are actually providing the food and medicine necessary for the rest of us to survive on a daily basis.
Not that we should expect MGTOW pronouncements to have much to do with reality.
Still other MGTOWs are convinced that the virus will “Red Pill” countless men who are now seeing what women are really like.
“This virus lets you see female nature raw and uncut,” comments Phantom_Spark.
Marriages collapse at an exponential rate. Children and family deemed to be an unworthy burden.
I can’t [wait] to see what’s next. What other red pill can women drop to further cement he idea that committing to them and even engaging in relationships isn’t worth it?
Not all MGTOWs are convinced that coronavirus will “fix” women and turn them into the docile and reverential creatures that MGTOWs and other manosphereans wish they were.
“In a few weeks this will be over and women will double down on their whoring to make up for lost time,” writes American__Jedi. “Nothing will change women.”
But even the most pessimistic MGTOWs can find their silver lining. Even if the conronavirus pandemic destroys governments and unleashes chaos on the world, a MGTOW Redditor called 21yeeet figures that at least he’ll get a chance to murder him some women — sorry, some “wahman.”
“[W]omen always like to say ‘wahmen first,'” he writes, “so if the purge happens due to coronavirus, im killing the wahmen first”
He got nearly three dozen upvotes for this lovely sentiment. Because of course he did.
The MGTOW subreddit has been quarantined by the Reddit admins for being full of hateful shit. It’s not at all clear to me why it it hasn’t been simply banned.

@Realist, no one would have any problem with men going their own way if that’s what they actually did. But they don’t. They really just scream about everything wrong in their lives or what they perceive as wrong and make themselves into mental pretzels in attempts to blame women for everything.
And don’t get it twisted. When women “go their own way,” these same men scream about how they’re degenerate whores. They really just hate women and this is their excuse to yell about it.
I remember an article by a political lesbian just a few years ago that really hit that “people choose their sexuality” thing hard. Lots of it was whining about straight feminists not wanting to sleep with her.
To which… I’m a straight man who has asked out twelve lesbians.* My response to that was to move on, because even the incipient Nice Guy Syndrome I had in college didn’t have me thinking that they should or could change their orientation.
On Miggies, my “favorite” thing about them is that they constantly proclaim that forsaking women gives them lots of time and money for their hobbies… which they never, ever talk about. ISTR someone tested this by starting a hobby thread in a Miggie subreddit, and all the comments were (wait for it) complaining about women.
*My gaydar is TERRIBLE. I have also been on at least two outings with guys that I later realized were probably meant to be dates. Although, I can’t tell when a woman is hitting on me, either.
@Allandrel
Was it by Julie Bindel? She’s invariably TERFy and biphobic and writes a lot of articles like that. I’d imagine most non-transphobic sapphic feminists wouldn’t want to sleep with her either.
Is this what you were thinking of?
@NAGLFAR. Do you ever look in the mirror?
@Realist
I do look in the mirror. I see someone who doesn’t waste all their time rambling about how awful women are and how a virus is so great. Instead, I make fun of people who do those things. I didn’t wander into your community to ramble about my ideology, you danced into ours.
Snappy comeback!
Complaining about women is their hobby.
Aw the troll came back, I was wondering if he was just a drive by or not.
@Naglfar
Yes! That’s the one.
@Realist
You are one of the most incredibly lazy and boring trolls that I have ever encountered. You don’t by any chance troll Slacktivist as “Reasonable,” do you?
@Allandrel
Well, at least he’s more interesting than Sack/Sackus, whose comments rambled about how David is fat and how supposedly successful the people he wrote about are. That got boring fast yet he made dozens of comments before being banned.
Allandrel: No. Naglfar. Ok babe, I will leave your “dance floor”, but before I do so, I would like you (and others) to remember one thing: Your date of expiration is 35. That’s 35 years old. Bye.
@Realist
Are you planning to murder me on my 35th birthday? That’s just rude.
If not, what will happen to me when I turn 36? Will I simply disintegrate and cease to exist? Or will I slowly fade away into nothing? Or will I be a ghost and continue to haunt those who knew me? So many questions! I guess I’ll find out in a few years.
[/s]
Is this a Logans Run type thing? I should check my palm crystal.
I’m in my 40s. Had a very active sex life prior to coronavirus, no reason why I wouldn’t do so again once it fades away. It’s always amusing to see people declare that it will expire a decade or two in my past.
I didn’t realize that I, as a 39 year was dead.
Oh well.
I had a good run. I pet some nice kitties and doggos. I ate some good pizza.
Realist: Why do you call MGTOWs misogynists? It’s so unfair.
Also Realist: Women literally expire at an age where I assume I would no longer want to bone them.
Realist
That was the most lame excuse of a threat I have ever seen in my life. if nothing else you should be ashamed by how stupid you sounded
…Well, at least he didn’t resort to transphobia?
@Troubelle
Best not to give him any ideas lest he return.
@Allandrel
I just feel pathetic compared to some lesbians or even just women. It’s kind of a good thing I’m not dating anyway.
NAGLFAR: No, only a feminist would come up with a threat like that. SNOWBERRY: 🙂
Of course he didn’t stick the flounce, but also, I mean
What? I just… What? What could this possibly be in reference to? It’s possible he’s confused Naglfar and Lainy and is actually trying to respond to the latter’s comment, but even then it still doesn’t make sense. I think this is where “trolling is a art” meets “I am rubber. You are glue.”
@Realist
Well, I’ve yet to see a feminist declare someone has an expiration date, so I’m going to with “no” on that one.
Anyway, I thought you were too busy enjoying your bachelor life to come back. Flounce #1.
@Viscaria
I think he’s responding to where I asked if he was planning to murder me on my 35th birthday, and he’s saying only feminists murder people on their birthdays?
Anyway, I’m not sure either.
Oh that’s hilarious. this dude is so stupid
Realist,
Others have said a woman’s expiration date is 25. If you don’t want to be called a misogynist, then maybe don’t tell people they no longer have value for committing the crime of … continuing to be alive.
