MGTOW means 'men going their own way'MrMan wrote: ↑October 8th, 2018, 11:41 amI think you are the only person I have come across who defines MGTOW that way. Most MGTOWs think it is somehow for a wrong to marry. Getting married overseas in a state more friendly toward men runs against other MGTOWs philosophy that I have encountered. MGTOWs seem to be either into living as hermits or being players.
I was going my own way by moving away from Europe, never back, and settle down with an Asian woman.
You see, this was 1976 in Japan - compare the legal situation in Japan at that time with the legal situation today in USA.... see the difference?
Nowadays, yes, marriage for men is meaningless in feminist countries, and if I were a young man today, I cannot recommend it at all. I would reconsider, if I do it again even here in Japan - as you know Japan has its own MGTOW-similar herbivore movement.
About MGTOW, there are many kinds of them. It is not a fixed guideline what you have or not have to be.
I could say the same about Christianity. There are many groups, calling themselves Christians, but rather totally different from each other, a Jehovah is not a Catholic, a Mormon is not orthodox etc. etc.
You maybe don't know, that I am an admin of an MGTOW-Forum - I joined MGTOW about 15 years ago. Link below is at the end of my comment/signature.
And I am not the only member over there who is married and with daughters, even granddaughters.
If you want to discuss MGTOW further - beyond what some feminists telling you - you should ask WHY men join MGTOW.
MGTOW is against feminism, it is not hateful against all women. It is not always because of being rejected by a woman for a sexual relationship as you might presume.
I often talk to disappointed men and always tell them that hate of any form - including hate against women - is a way to nowhere, into self destruction.
Contrarian seems like an extremist, kind of like a brainwahsed hard-core Communist from the early 1900's, with a bleak, dismal, lifeless philosophy. Except his is just a different cold, lifeless philosophy.
Extremist? Well, he has his very strong opinion about himself... Interesting to see however, when you read back ALL comments from him and me over years in this HA-Forum, that he and I never had any disputes, never any hateful discussion...not about MGTOW, not about any other topic.
On the other side, read back about your own comments and his comments you both had against each other just during the last few months. I even ask you - both of you - a few days ago to stop and to put each other on the Ignore-List....
I will answer to the rest of your comment tomorrow, it's too late already. Bye for now.
