After seeing a couple mytakes/questions regarding MGTOW I'm convinced that there is only a handful of women who truly understand the movement.

Yes, it has sexism in it's ranks yet just like feminism these extremists are the minority. MGTOW don't hate women or think that all women are lesbians.

MGTOW, to me, is a disregard for people in life who do not contribute positively. Men going their own way signifies the man is unhappy with his current life's path and chooses his own destiny regardless of the societal constraints shackled upon him from birth. Women have, for a much larger period of time, had their own group for this same purpose: Feminism. Except unlike Feminism the MGTOW movement is a reactionary group birthed from the failures of Feminism, a response that took almost 40 years to manifest into the male response to female empowerment.

Largely, female empowerment has been exclusive to men, providing us no real direct benefit as men. As men we have to endure hearing things like "All men are pigs", "Men get paid more than women", "Only men can rape", "All men are rapists" without complaint yet we are expected to have sympathy for "Women aren't as strong as men", "Women are inferior in the workplace", "Women should stay in the kitchen".

MGTOW was created out of sheer exasperation for this double standard, having a failed Men's Rights Movement (MRM) taken over by fedora wearing misogynists. The same thing can be said about MGTOW now, too many of the "monks" have pent up sexual frustration that leads to what sounds like misogyny but in reality is pent up sexual frustration mixed with cognitive dissonance. Many of the MGTOW men are new to the movement and cannot tell the difference between these "leaders" like Sandman (Youtube) and the actual practitioners of the movement.

Let's just be clear though: All of this behavior is a DIRECT result of 3rd wave Feminism. MGTOW was created as men's response and if it seems like it's unfairly sexist then you aren't viewing the whole picture. Feminism has a healthy dose of sexism wrapped up in the female empowerment it sells (for a huge profit) to the women involved. Victims of abuse are often abusive themselves, leading to an endless finger pointing blame game of women vs. men. Most MGTOW understand that Not All Women Are Like That (NAWALT) and don't have that problem, these types often watch before responding. Feminism created MGTOW via sexist propaganda directed at men.

MGTOW men have "checked out" of a society that treats them as disposable and doesn't serve their interests. Why are so many men attracted to Asian or other foreign women? Because their society doesn't rely on Feminism for their women to be feminine. Why are so many men avoiding relationships? They realize relationships, in the long run, specifically cater to women via the courts, custody, alimony, divorce. Men are choosing to pursue careers, art, literature, or whatever they may fancy over chasing tail. There is only one life so many men are choosing to do things they find fulfilling since society isn't giving them a fair shot at life in their current situation.

The biggest thing though is the Alt-Right. Feminism created the Alt Right, what I consider to be the first Men's Rights Movement. The Alt-Right is what happens when men feel left behind by a society that doesn't care about them. Often these types get lumped in with MGTOW but the movements are completely different: MGTOW advocates changing a lifestyle until the man becomes happy where Alt-Right is politically focused on creating a conservative society within society. If MGTOW is outside the social bubble then Alt-Right is a bubble within a bubble. Stop confusing the two!
