The extremist movement known as MGTOW [View all]

The Men Going Their Own Way movement is an offshoot of the Men's Rights extremist movement,I had never heard of them before today.

http://www.mgtow.com/

Unlike Men's Rights Activists (MRAs), there is no necessity that MGTOWs engage in political activity or activism. MGTOWs may be active MRAs, they may cheer them on from the sidelines and send in donations or support, or they may not be politically active at all. There is a common point of awareness between various groups in the manosphere such as MRAs, MGTOWs, pick-up artists (PUAs) and reactionaries, yet how they react to the red pill differs considerably.

hort brief: the MGTOW rejects all form of long-term personal relationships with women, including but not limited to marriage, cohabitation of any sort which might be classified as common-law marriage, picking up for a single mother's children, or any action which might be used in court to turn him into her legal indentured servant.

Common reasons for this:
a) Massive risk incurred by men in pursuing this course of action in the form of chilamony and divorce theft, draconian domestic violence laws that follow the Duluth Model, being robbed of their children and having them alienated, all for no perceptible reason other than societal pressure and conditioning.

Resources withdrawn from society:
a) Intimacy and commitment that women desire, temporary or otherwise.
b) State-supported wealth transfers from men to women via the divorce, child support and domestic violence industries.

You may have heard of the marriage strike, in which large numbers of men are boycotting this rotten institution - either consciously or unconsciously, it does not matter. They're still out. A simple look through the manosphere wll turn up huge numbers of stories about men and children thrown through the family court meat grinder.

The effects of the marriage strike are interesting, and not just in the "where have all the good men gone?" "you're a sexist bastard if you don't have the hots for used-up sluts" and "man up and marry those single mothers like a good Christian man" articles. Men in general are leaving the plantation in droves - Dalrock has some interesting stats on remarriage and never-marrieds, and the stats do appear to be in line with many men adopting the stance.



Their forum,which is filled with so many misogynists that they had to pin warnings not to post violent videos or pictures:"Too many threads are being reported to us which contain blatant subliminal encouragement and support towards 'punchin bitches'. The main culprits appear to be new users. If you've joined here to play out your women beating fantasies then please do us all a favour and piss off now." and another pinned thread not to talk about rape:" I don't know how much more clear we can be on this, but seriously, do not post or attempt to start discussions on rape ANYWHERE on this forum. Our policy on rape is: WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW! And why? Well that's because we're MGTOW."

Their GD forum has 114 viewers right now. Yet it's the few PIV radfems that we really need to be "concerned" about.
