“Simp” is the new “cuck,” a catchall term that internet losers on the right and in the manosphere like to apply to any man who’s insufficiently misogynistic in their jaundiced eyes.
Just as the definition of “cuck” moved far beyond its literal meaning of a man whose partner is cheating on him to include any man who has sex with a woman who’s ever slept with anyone else ever, so simp is moving beyond its definition as a man who behaves in an obsequious manner towards women he hopes to bed to encompass all men who treat women with anything other than deep disrespect.
To one commenter in the MGTOW2 subreddit — a supposedly misogyny-free alternative to the much larger MGTOW subreddit — the word “simp” now means anyone who’s had sex with a woman, presumably because the shrieking misogyny of non-simps like him would tend to get in the way of consensual sex with women.
This post proved unpopular enough to win it nine downvotes from the denizens of MGTOW2. How sad and angry does a man have to be to alienate a bunch of MGTOWs with your excessive misogyny? I guess exactly this sad and angry.

Stray thought. With all the passion and fuss MGTOWs put into just being MGTOWs, why do none of them seem to ever consider getting themselves gelded? It would make their lives so much more mellow and less focused on the evil women that they are avoiding.
That way they could stop spending so much time on the web and learn to play chess, or bake seagulls or whatever new focus they could choose.
I am sure in the US there much be at least ONE surgeon who would provide the service.

Thing is, they would see that as a threat to masculinity and would never allow it. They’d run screaming the other way.
There are surgeons in the US who will do orchiectomies (some trans* women and non-binary people get them), but I don’t think that MGTOWs would ever get near them.
I do know that some MGTOWs have bragged about getting vasectomies, but I don’t think that would reduce testosterone and seems to be more about “owning the womenz” than anything else.

TW: bad take on anorexia
Years ago, I saw an Internet post where one of those ultra-masculine types berated anorexic women, saying it was a sign of them not even being able to be skinny the right way. Men are never anorexic, but there is a thing called “manorexia”, which just means staying to finish a job even if you run out of food supplies, even if you have several days’ worth of work to finish.
So, while I’m sure he realised men get hungry, it apparently wasn’t anything you should ever whine about.
I’m just still baffled that the sort of bad planning that results in having to decide whether you leave a job unfinished or finish it without having any food is somehow more acceptable for a man than saying, “I actually need to eat to survive, if you don’t mind.”
