There is a movement called MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) which is
gaining traction in western society, particularly in the USA, although I would
venture to say that it reflects the mind-set of the modern man across this
globalised world of ours. The ideology of the movement is one of pretty much
encouraging men to not bother committing to marriage with the modern
western/westernised woman or having children with her as this will only
guarantee pain, misery, child support, divorce fees, etc. The movement
encourages men to lead independent lives from women instead, lives in which the
lack of commitment means that men are not accountable to women for any
seemingly ‘selfish’ decisions they make - that is if the men are to be involved
in relationships at all. It seems many of the supporters of MGTOW are more than
happy to work, enjoy leisurely time with friends or personal entertainment
through gaming or social media and go to sleep. The advent of pornography and
the rise of promiscuity (exacerbated by social media apps such as Tinder) make
for a sustainable way of life for your typical MGTOW. Men can now work as hard
as they want, buy whatever toys they like and not have to entertain/romance
women and still have sex whenever they wish. This is the result of feminism
ladies and gentlemen. Who runs the world? GIRLS?
Who wins?
Whilst I do not agree with the ideology of MGTOW I fully understand how
it is a seemingly ‘fair’ response to feminism, an ideology which at its
inception wanted women to have equal voting rights (1st wave of
feminism). As most of us probably know before feminism was, women’s roles were
limited to home-making and careers such as nursing and teaching. Women did not
have much say in the political arena which was dominated by men who served as
patriarchs speaking for their families. The 1st wave of feminism
changed that in the early 20th century. Then came World War 2; the
men went to war, the women went to work in the industries and when the men came
back the women were no longer contented to stay at home and be homemakers.
Beloved this gave rise to the 2nd wave of feminism in the mid-20th
century which was spearheaded by Betty Friedan. She was disillusioned with the
idea of raising of her own children to the extent of revolting against the
institution. I do not have a problem with that but imagine being a child and
your mother having the full opportunity to nurture you but resorting to
dedicating her life to fighting against being with you. That is basically what
the 2nd wave of feminism was all about, as well as fighting to
legalise abortions, remove the shame of promiscuity from women (the gatekeepers
of the sex economy), obtain equal pay & opportunities, destroy the nuclear
family and remove gender distinctions. Lady Betty is actually on record saying
that feminism wanted boys to be sensitive/emotional and comfortable with having
long hair. The goal was to create effeminate men if you ask me and kudos to
them they have achieved it. Oh yeah there is a 3rd wave of feminism
whose job is to keep doing more damage by making men even more inferior as we
have seen in the media. Men are depicted as idiots and childlike, can you
imagine that? The gender that virtually created all the technology we enjoy and
built all the infrastructure we benefit from has suddenly become weaker daft punks (I’ll wait for you to get that).
Sadly men don’t seem to care and have just shrunk back. Their apathy
does, of course, have serious ramifications (as I have mentioned above) – there
is very little procreation going on and this will most likely get worse. The
thing is men do not have a maternal instinct so they can live with that and can
change their minds at any point if they wish and have children even in their
70s. Whilst women in their early 20s might share the same sentiment as men,
they do have a restrictive biological clock. Women in their late 30s or early 40s
today are finding themselves accomplished, wealthy, alone with a desire to have
children and no man ‘foolish’ enough to entertain such thoughts. This may be an
interesting video to validate this point (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-aJzW3Q_D8).
I wish this was the only consequence - that feminists would learn how
isolating their lives are made by the deceptive social terrorist called
feminism. Unfortunately the consequences are far worse than that, as I said at
the beginning we are sitting on a ticking time bomb. The West and even the East
are already suffering from the burden of the ageing population i.e. there are
more people in retirement than there are in the marketplace. This means that it
has become extremely difficult for governments to take care of the aged based
on past fertility rates which have now gotten worse. What will it be like when
the 30 year olds of today reach retirement if things worsen/remain as they are?
Public services (i.e. health care, police, etc.) will be overburdened and
unable to cope with the amount of people dependent upon them. Economies will
come to full stand-stills; any pensions the current generation is saving for
will not be receivable in a future with poor economic productivity. This is no
joke, check out what is being predicted in Germany already: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11644660/Germany-dominance-over-as-demographic-crunch-worsens.html).
The end of civilisation waits!
Whilst I understand why MGTOW emerged, it is just a male version of feminism;
another short-sighted, self-centred social movement which when paired with
feminism will just cause even greater anarchy. Men and women cannot exist
independently of each other; we are inter-dependent as is evidenced by our
natural ability to procreate to produce offspring that will sustain us in the
future. With that being said I would not encourage men to marry the modern
westernised women either. It is almost as though there is no solution, as
though the onus really lies on the women to change and return to their traditional
roles. Sadly I do not think that this is probable.
However, my appeal to you my @Africanindiaspo brothers and sisters is
this; do not participate in this madness. Sisters please revert to your
traditional roles of home-making and nurturing children; brothers please search
for such women and be good men to them. To refuse to do so is to heap the
social terrors consequential of feminism onto our future children, consequences
of broken families and gender confusion such as the ones shown in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Y-99UJ2lM.
I am sorry this post is slightly longer than usual but I really hate
feminism and all the issues it has caused and what’s sad for me is that people
cannot seem to tell where the future is headed either. I encourage you to do
more research on this issue my dear friends, open your eyes.
Anyway I better do like bananas and split.
Until next time, let us share let us grow!

social orders must be made with much care and consideration for the selfish
decisions of today are threats to the communal welfare of tomorrow’ -

Interesting ideas but I disagree:
ReplyDeleteMGTOW is a result of a number of factors, Feminism is one, small part. The internet is also helping bring on this ideology. Should we therefore remove the internet? No, because the internet also has other uses, but surely that is a better alternative than telling around half the population of Earth that their lives success will be limited and full of boundaries.
Is a man that has the stereotypes of women damaged? Where men damaged when they were forced to accept women as equal? If so then its fine because it was clearly necessary because of inequality.
Feminism is to make women equal to men, MGTOW is to isolate men, NOT THE SAME.
Lastly why should women have to revert back to limited lives because we have a smaller younger population than older? Earth is overpopulated and a smaller younger population is good, despite the economics. Also smaller population is not a result of women working alone, people have, wisely, started having fewer children per couple on average. None of your mentioned factors have had enough of an influence to change the worlds population growth. Our economists simply need to find a way to handle steady populations instead of growing ones, which is fine, we don't need growing populations we actually need smaller ones for the sake of our planet.
All your arguments are weak and debatable and it seems to be so you can just try to justify mass sexism
I appreciate you taking time out of your day to read and comment on this post. I understand where you are coming from but cannot agree with you. Whilst you may find my arguments weak and debatable, I stand by them.
DeleteThe world is not as simple as we often like to imagine it to be, you cannot just turn around and remove gender distinctions and expect civilisation to continue. I argue that men and women are equal in value but very different in ability or nature. If you will call that sexist then yes I am sexist. I maintain that the social security of our generation is under threat from this mass feminisation of society.
Feminism is the root problem of it all and it has been exarcebated by the internet. The first wave of feminism was understandable but the second and third waves were absolutely detrimental to human existence. They have created a culture which vilifies, silences and emasculates men and the effects of this will be truly realised when a world crisis emerges such as war, etc. Other nations will easily dominate the feminised West then.
