From one website on the topic, https://www.mgtow.com/about/, they define the movement like this:
Men Going Their Own Way is a statement of self-ownership, where the modern man preserves and protects his own sovereignty above all else. It is the manifestation of one word: "No". Ejecting silly preconceptions and cultural definitions of what a "man" is. Looking to no one else for social cues. Refusing to bow, serve and kneel for the opportunity to be treated like a disposable utility. And, living according to his own best interests in a world which would rather he didn't.Do you catch the whiff of delusion mixed with truth?
The best way to sell a lie is to mix it with truth. Take something that is true, something that resonates with your target, get them emotionally invested, and then sell them the lie. The truth is treated as bait, its used to lure the unsuspecting, the desperate.
Like an oasis in the desert, people do truly hunger and thirst for truth while wandering through a wasteland. Something they can cling to, something that they can put their hope in, something they can rely on. In circumstances of abuse, this even shows up in phenomenon like Stockholm Syndrome, where a victim tries to find comfort in the abuse, to justify it, to cope with it to find "normal" again.
There is a comfort in familiarity that is hard to circumvent.
So here, we have the truth in that modern society does not value the individual man. Men are disposable, and men don't want to think of themselves that way. It's demeaning, right? It's dehumanizing, right?
Let's get some perspective though.
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:Men are dust.
“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.” - Genesis 3:17-19 (NKJV)
According to God, men are dust.
Exactly how much "sovereignty" does dust have?
Exactly how much power does dust have?
Look at the deception of Eve.
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”Do you see the familiarity yet?
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. - Genesis 3:4-6 (NKJV)
The modern deceit is that men and women are equal, or even worse that the world would be better if men were women and women were men. It's a demonic attempt to rewrite the rules that God set in place, to make an attempt to undermine or subvert God's authority.
And MGTOW is just the same lie the serpent sold Eve, being sold to feminized men.
The future doesn't exist without fathers and mothers, but now men are learning to say "no", and that's supposed to mean something?
Humanity set the tone for its own miserable existence by saying "no". Humanity said "no" to God, trying to become gods in their own right, refusing to "bow, serve, and kneel" before anyone else.
While the MGTOW movement is correct in that men today are not treated correctly and our culture is destroying itself through goddess worship, the solution isn't to start god worship. To find truth "within", to reject all external inputs, because God is an external input to humanity.
The depravity in the movement is seen in its cowardice, because the odds have always been stacked against men, since we stepped out of Eden. That's not just "bad luck", it's literally the curse we men bear for our sin against God. We cannot overthrow that anymore than we can start ignoring gravity.
So do you see the thirst for power in that definition statement about the MGTOW movement? It should disturb you deeply, because it echoes the lines of the "bad guy" from the dystopian future that had been predicted by George Orwell in the novel "1984" (underline added by me):
Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy — everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.MGTOW then is not a reaction to, or a revolution against, the cultural movements that supposedly prompted it, MGTOW is instead the NATURAL PROGRESSION OF THE SAME EXACT MOVEMENT.
I put that in caps because of how important it is to grasp that you cannot revolt against a movement by continuing the train of thought and adapting yourself to it. Where Feminism sought to begin the work of creating a permanent divorce between man and woman, MGTOW seeks to throw further fuel on the fire by appealing to the ego of feminized men, men who lacking testosterone and the brain differences caused by the chemical are more easily controlled by their emotions, to "retake" a position in life that men never had to begin with.
MGTOW would finish the dysgenic work that Feminism started by seeking to break apart the fundamental unit of civilization: the family.
Without the family, there is no civilization. It is the smallest unit of a stable society, not the individual, because the individual does not pop into existence by themselves, but are born to a mother and father, who then raise them up. The family is the microcosm that civilization reflects as a macrocosm. The individual exists in a vacuum, but a family has relationships, and so civilization cannot be based on the individual, but on family, and this is how civilizations have worked since the beginning.
Or haven't, in the case that the predominant family structure of a people group becomes dysfunctional, or is eliminated entirely under delusional hubris.
Our society has no problems "saying no". Saying no to abstinence, saying no to obedience to God, saying no to commitment, to discipline, to the process of sanctification. Women took the lead in this regard, and MGTOW wants to believe that following women, yet again, in learning how to "say no", will result in anything but mutual destruction.
There is no future for MGTOW because the "best interests" of man inherently require the involvement of woman.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” - Genesis 1:28 (NKJV)Even more delusional, at least this definition provided seems to think that it's "the world" that has a problem with man pursuing his "best interests".
If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. - John 15:19 (NKJV)Is MGTOW leading the charge for a spiritual revival? A return to God's word, to God's definition of gender roles?
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. - Romans 8:5 (NKJV)Well, if men are looking to "no one else", what are the odds that they'll look to God, and God's word, to dictate their behavior? To shape their priorities?
MGTOW is just the latest flavor of demonic depravity, seeking to delude people into becoming their own gods, seeking to destroy what God created, and all of it hidden behind crafty deceptions. Look at the defeatism in the choices made by the MGTOW crowd of men. The apparent inevitability of the circumstances we face, and how they apparently cannot change, so we may as well adapt and make the best of things.
How sad they are because the power they're supposed to be seeking would overturn the very dynamics they whine about in the first place. If men were looking to God, obedient to God's commands, upholding God's commands, then we'd not have gone down this path in the first place, all the way back to Adam.
And this is why, just like "conservatives", the MGTOW movement is filled with losers. Filled with men whose lofty ideals cannot ever be manifest, so they just give up on trying, on fighting, on making any real genuine changes, because that would require hard work and sacrifice that they don't want to commit.
So much easier to declare that victory is impossible, so we must now find a way to accept our new overlords and make the best of things. So much easier to declare that nothing can be done, so you are free to absolve yourself of any responsibility to do anything but what you want.
That does not mean finding a good wife is easy, but it has never truly been so. Those who believe in a "golden era" in the past are ignoring the complete view of history that informs us that the times of supposed ease have simply relaxed the definitions, not increased the number of "good women".
If you're not willing to fight, if you're willing to just give up without trying very hard, without expending resources you'd rather put towards pursuing your own pleasures, then you deserve the lonely death you will inevitably experience.
Return to God, look to God's word and God's examples, through the successes of Jesus Christ contrasted with the failures of every other man in scripture, to guide you, to define you.
Not even you know yourself as well, as honestly, as God does. Want for your life what God wants for you, and trust that where God will lead you will be more fulfilling, more rewarding, more satisfying than anything you could have accomplished on your own strength.
