I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

It's interesting that the response to men going their own way (MGTOW) is indifference or at most pity whilst WGTOW are met with hostility.

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 weeks ago

Mgtow was not met with indifference. They've been consistently criticized since the movement first started, and they quickly evolved into a cabal of Nazi-adjacent freaks. Fuck those guys.

There may be some good that could come from a men's movement for self actualization and improvement, but mgtow sure as shit wasn't that

MGTOW should be indifferent, but they kinda got hijacked into another red pill BS place. Their lives revolve around hate for women and not actually going your own way and finding what makes you content.

Except for a million articles like:

The ‘Men Going Their Own Way’ movement is the Taliban of the manosphere

MGTOW is absolutely no better.
