The term "mgtow or men who going their own way" is a lie. They spend all their time on attacking women.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

It's even funnier when MGTOW does it. MGTOW is supposed to mean "Men Going Their Own Way" but for people "going their own way" they seem to spend a lot of time stalking anywhere that women gather so they can whine about how badly women treat men.
Men Getting Triggered Over Women seems to be a better backronym.
As a man who scrolls past your community most days: keep being yourselves! Women need their own space, just like everyone else!
Thanks so much for your support! I've been really moved by how many men on lemmy have been behind us. We are women only so please don't comment again, but I'm leaving your comment up as its lovely 😊
+1, usually I’ll peek in comments, I enjoy reading the conversation and stay out as it’s not my space but it’s nice reading some of the discussion
We really appreciate men like you and so many have been really supportive since we started this community. We are women only so please don't comment again, but I'm leaving your comment up so the community knows you've got our back 🥰
This is a serious and frustrating problem for women's spaces. But I can't help but feel a little bad for some incels.* The ones who think it's all about height or jaw size or hair or physique. The ones who think all Stacys are slutty cum dumpster carousels for the Chads of the world to use. The ones incapable of seeing women in a nonsexualized light. The ones who fill their heads so full of hateful 4chan misogyny until they think women are the absolute enemy.
Somehow they get sucked into incel/blackpill/manosphere content, which is absolutely brainless but it justifies their belief that women are the cause of all their problems.
And the reason I feel bad for them is that it obviously stems from a deep and painful lack of self-confidence. And they just dig themselves into such a deep hole of self-brainwashing and delusion, it seems impossible that they could ever climb out. So they perpetuate their own suffering.
(*Don't get me wrong - the ones who look up to Elliot Rodger or George Sodini can go get fucked.)
I have no sympathy for most those fuckers, sure most of them were dragged in, but by their own misogynistic beliefs
That's sometimes the case. I'd be really interested to find out how many are secretly gay... "I'm not attracted to women cos they're awful, not cos I'm gay!"
ahh yes, i must be doing this thing you have never been interested in your entire life, juuust to get your attention in particular...
