Our society is experiencing changes, big changes, structural changes. The problem is that most humans don’t like changes, especially if within those changes some are forced to give up power. Men are struggling to accept that women are their equals, not their social subordinates. Women are rejecting the role that was assigned to them for way too long in every civilized and not civilized culture around the planet. Women are demanding equal pay, women are speaking, yelling and pointing fingers at their abusers, instead of remaining in silence. Finally, women are talking to each other, little by little they are realizing how they were also trained to compete with each other. Union makes strength, and together, women refuse to stay home to raise children, to clean, to cook, to have to be pretty. I think that’s great, but not everyone does. Some men, the most evolved and perhaps “flexible” ones, are accepting one day at a time, that this has to happen, that both genders are responsible and entitled to share equal rights, and equal responsibilities. We need to accept each other, respect each other, and learn how to capitalize our gender differences to build a fair society.

However, drastic change never happens in peace or harmoniously, so I stumbled upon something that not only called my attention but scared the hell out of me: a male movement that very secretively is spreading around the world. The movement is called MGTOW (MEN GOING THEIR OWN WAY), they declare to be just men tired of female tyranny, and gather to stand up against marriage. They see this institution as the way for women to take advantage of men. But in reality is a pseudo CULT, almost like a GENDER KU KLUX KLAN (yes, is spooky like that). In their forums you can read plots and messages where they encourage each other to talk violently against women, diminishing females, and completely supporting or kind of supporting rape (depending on the country). I am truly concerned that this “movement” is growing at the same rate as women around the world are accomplishing new goals, and a better quality of life, if not faster.

Most of the men that belong to the MGTOW have very radical thoughts, and tap each other’s shoulder with dangerous ideas about how to deal with their ultimate social enemy= women. They seem very angry towards all female in general, but their rage is mostly focused on the ones that are loudly denouncing things that need to change in our patriarchal social system. MGTOW are buried so deep into their own gender biases, that have lost the capability of debate and the power of adapting themselves into the new ways of the world, an inclusive one. We, as a society need to be aware that this is happening right now, and honest human beings (men and women) that really want society to evolve, and become fair for everybody, need to be alert, and prevent this pseudo “cult” from keep growing, before their angry words and frustrations becomes hazardous, and translates in actions towards women in societies around the world.

Not to my surprise they also are avid Trump supporters.

I attached some links to show, and illustrate many of the MGTOW real expressions and concepts; the first one is a piece of Schopenhauer, that the philosopher wrote in the 1865 and appears to be their moral preamble.
