Women were designed to nurture husband and children and to be cherished in return.
Feminism taught them that this is “oppressive” and to seek independence and career instead. YouTube is full of videos of women complaining that men no longer approach them.
They think their only value lies in sex but men no longer have to commit to get this.
Power = penis. Feminism has emasculated men and neutered women. It has turned women into mutants…lesbians or whores. On Only Fans, 3.2 million women stream strip shows from their bedrooms. Ten million young women proclaim their promiscuity on Tinder. They don’t love men. They exploit them.
Society has been subverted by Communists who want to destroy family and decrease population. These haters naturally label MGTOW as “hate.” I warned about this in Cruel Hoax- Feminism & The NWO (2008) but womyn would rather be politically correct, and die alone and miserable. They have betrayed their society but more importantly, themselves.
Women really want the lifelong devotion of a loving husband. Heterosexual union requires the surrender of female power for male power expressed as love.
They can have power or love. But, they can’t have both.
I asked GROK—“Men Going their Own Way” MGTOW How would you describe this movement and its influence today?
By GROK 4 – (henrymakow.com)
Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) is an online-centric movement that emerged in the early 2000s as part of the broader “manosphere” — a loose collection of anti-feminist male communities.

MGTOW and other pro-male websites are often targeted for closure – not so often by wimmin, but more commonly by militant homosexuals.
Once again Henry hits one outta the park, downtown even. But yet, kudos to the women who have BOTH power and love, their way!
MBTOW – Men have betrayed their own women.
That is the evidence with divorce and homosexuality rates, and the fact that most women really want the security of a reliable and faithful male provider such that they can not only have children but also a happy family, but they find that there are not many real men out there anymore. The divide has come mainly about as a result of the fake equality movement in which both men and women have lost the sense of their own biologically-based and natural differences. It has all translated into a totally dysfunctional woke and transgender movement, in which the media-deranged public think it is perfectly natural, and some kind of fundamental duty of theirs to encourage and guide deliberately cartoon-confused children to behave and dress like members of the opposite sex, and to be surgically mutilated such that their bodies conform to their confused little minds.
Of course, the entire Western establishment is totally on board with doing everything in their power to replace natural fertility and human fecundity with sterile and childless human beings, along with their eugenic desires and expectations to replace most of us with their own artificial creations and alleged superior and “more intelligent” model creatures made in their own images.
On a theological level the entire process is diabolical and simply amounts to our own replacement as human beings, after being deemed some kind of competition to those playing God, or more generally as useless eaters – incidentally now openly manifested in nations such as Canada, busy getting rid of their elderly. On a more philosophical level the entire brain-deadening process of this very evil top-down order has nothing to do with mind or spirit over matter, which with the more adept is associated with not being ruled by our base bodily appetites. No, it is entirely the opposite, and coming from the top-down-encouraged hedonistic treads of giving full spate to those appetites, with the only mental and spiritual processes at work being the ignorant and diabolical ones of the suspension of reason, and the Nietzschean “will to power”.
If any creed could encapsulate the feminist reaction to the Western establishment ruling that having children and childrearing had nothing to do with human flourishing and happiness, it was that totally deranged and syphilitic idea of the unchained will being led by the fake media and educational authorities leading and deluding the people more and more into the realm of fantasy and materialistic ticky tacky, and replacing what is most real and essential, not just for human flourishing and happiness, but for our very survival. It anyone thinks this mess just happened and was not “planned” by the Western moguls running things, then they are a part of the problem.
Today, our young are so conditioned in the social constructs of the establishment that they are generally considered not complete, or “finished” until they are in their 30’s. Where a young woman dreams in her school years of an early marriage by the time she is 21, that is now considered as weird and a fantasy, and in any case, most young women come to realize that there are so few real men out there anyway, for anything permanent and secure such as a happy marriage for life. Those males who seem to have enough testosterone in their systems, are in any case “too immature” and unstable. Of course, with the pill they can all have sex without any unwanted consequences, and if their are any, the unwanted offspring can readily eliminated so as not to interfere with any other life-style choices. That is the resultant conventional wisdom of the the day – which is another translation not only of will over reality but of the entire might-makes-right creed over virtually anyone deemed as unwanted – which few people really want to consider.
Why is it our young men in reaching the age of majority and able to make decisions governing their entire lives like joining the army and going off to some insane war to die, are not considered able to make promises to woman for a life-time in marriage. They expect “free sex” and the opportunity to “shack up” with a woman, expecting her to put off her limited years of fertility as nothing in the balance comparted to their own sexual urges. Of course, the women are generally fools to go along with this arrangement, but most see no other course. Most still hope for something permanent unless they are more wed to lesser ends like their careers, and most end up alone and baren, with more men than women using the opposite sex for serial marriages and relationships.
The reason for this imbalance is that once a man “matures” or perhaps has a steady job (these days sometime in his late 30’s) and wants “to settle down”, his nesting urge is totally out of step with women that age wondering how many more years of fertility they have. Not only can the male keep impregnating women into ripe old age, but he can keep changing his women like his underwear, a process which appears to go against the true nature of women, albeit the nature of a male who sees no difference between his proclivities and that of a dog.
What is the solution? There is none, because the entire ruling class does not seem to see a problem with the present state of affairs. They are quite content simply to replace all of the vacancies they deliberately created in our demographics with people of foreign cultures, who generally are more family-orientated and prolific – that is until they they are morally, chemically, and biologically contaminated by their corrupted institutions and drugs. All they can see is a persisting inequality between men and women which they want completely to eradicate. If they can make a little boy think he is a girl locked inside a male body, or a girl to think she is a boy, they will gladly encourage that kind of grooming, right into the operating room, and all to enable the fantasy to continue until the person matures and realizes that it was his corrupted mind which was out of sync with his or her natural body, and that he or she was betrayed by all of the weirdo authorities who governed his or her younger years, and betrayed him or her.
With the recent murders of 9 people in Tumbler Ridge BC, allegedly committed by a very-confused, 18-year-old transvestite, who was on a host of prescription drugs for years, and who had many encounters with the police, what is the first thing the anti-Canadian Carney government blames? It is not how the young person became so deranged and how his aberrations were exacerbated by the fake cures of the day. No, it is the fact that he got hold of a gun and allegedly started to kill everyone he could until he shot himself. The same government, which brought in measures to ban certain rifles last year, and wants to ban all guns from the citizenry, of course, is very apt to use this recent shooting spree as a reason for more gun control. Not really caring about the real cause of anything, they are so devoid of reason, they want to blame the guns and not the people wielding them for the crimes. The point is that this is how we are now ruled. It is all a matter of the will to power. They want something, or want to take our guns away from us, on a pretext, but not on the facts, and certainly having nothing to do with reason. The corrupt courts and the media unfortunately follow suit after suit of the corrupt governments they serve.
Like the radical feminists, the unruly & immature males, and the entire woke crowd, thinking they are somehow technologically liberated from the confines of their bodies, their natures, their reason, their basic responsibilities, the facts, and from God, to do what they want, it is all a reflection of the entirely corrupt ruling class and their will to power devoid of all those things which constitute real human flourishing and happiness.
Fred B — Great post!
MGTOW is treating the symptoms, not their cause.
It’s good for anyone to get away to some degree from the cultural revolution we’re suffering under so they can gather their wits, take an objective look at the whole of it and all its parts, and figure out how to get out from under it. Ask who benefits and who loses from our abandonment of the roles and relationships humans have maintained for centuries. We know we’re losing. Who gains from taking more and more contentment away from us? What will be the end result for each one of us and for them? At what points in the process can each of us go in our own different direction so we can’t be exploited anymore and can discover opportunities to both build a better way of life for ourselves and find agreeable people to share it with?
Evolution preserves not just our most useful body parts, but also the social functions that work best. We are designed to function both as individuals and in relationships. The old ways of doing that to our own and others’ satisfaction are not necessarily out-dated. Obsolescence is for machines, not for human minds and hearts. If we examine the lives of past generations, we can figure out how those people maximized their satisfaction in their personal and family lives. If there was a culture or a group in which men and women both were fairly well content wit one another, we culd copy what they did to achieve that. If there was none at all, thenh we can learn from their examples of how to cope.
