MGTOW is an acronym for Men Go Their Own Way. In simplest form, it is basically men who are tired of the stereotypical “modern woman.” Instead of settling down with a woman in marriage, they voluntarily choose to “go their own way” by forbidding to marry. In the broad sense, the strong majority of MGTOWers, sometimes called “red pillers,” do not want to be romantically involved.
In a sense, typical verbiage used by cliché feminists are also used by those in the MGTOW group, but in a reversed way applied to themselves: men are being suppressed by women, women are just mooches for men, and men don’t need women and are more powerful and stronger being a lone wolf than with a woman. They tend be very bitter towards women in general.
A MGTOW Reddit page defines their movement as “men going our own way by forging our own identities and paths to self-defined success; cutting through collective ideas of what a man is.”
Dictionary.com also provides a definition of MGTOW:
MGTOW, an outgrowth of Men’s Rights Activism (MRA) and the Men’s Rights Movement (MRM), is an online movement that rejects social constructions and expectations of masculinity, especially feminist ones. These men seek to define themselves as men on their own terms—to go their own way. They deny the historic oppression of women in society and believe instead that it’s women, particularly since the rise of modern feminism, who have oppressed men. For this position, MGTOW followers claim “double standards” such as bias toward women in custody battles and false accusations of rape.
And so many followers of MGTOW seek to eliminate interactions with women from their lives, including romantic relationships and marriage, out of a sexist belief that male/female interactions only result in women abusing men, taking their money, and so on.
While those who identify as MRA believe they can actively combat “male oppression,” the MGTOW instead focuses on independence and self-preservation.
MGTOW ideology argues that their philosophy is not anti-female, per se, but simply a way for men to reclaim self-ownership against an oppressive anti-male system, and that excluding women from a man’s life allows him decide his own destiny.
Due to the strict credo of MGTOW, sympathizers and leaders within the MGTOW movement are making the case that the adherents to the red pill movement classify and are recognized amongst the Gay Pride communities.
On July 11th, Peter Wright for A Voice For Men wrote a piece titled, “MGTOW Now An LGTBQIA Category… And There’s Nothing You Can Do About It.”
According to A Voice For Men’s lengthy mission statement, they acknowledge they are apart of the Men’s Human Rights Movement (MHRM) – a subsidiary and extension of the aforementioned MRM group. The statement reads (in part),
Freedom from sex-based expectations for just one sex will never result in freedom for either sex. It is simply a foundation of exploitation on which tyranny is built and administered.
As a society, we are already on that path. The noble idea of freedom and equity between the sexes has been corrupted. It has become a malignancy on our social consciousness. What used to be cooperation between sexes is now gynocentric parasitism that inhabits every level of men’s existence, from cradle to coffin. The efforts to enhance the rights of women have become toxic efforts to undermine the rights of men.
It is time for a movement that truly favors humanity, not a particular sex. It is time for feminism to fulfill its promise of equality, and to quit making a mockery of it. With that ideal guiding our path, we hereby proclaim the mission of A Voice for Men as “Changing the Cultural Narrative.”
AVfM regards gender ideologues and all other agents of misandry as a social malignancy. We do not consider them well-intentioned or honest agents for their purported goals and extend to them no more courtesy or consideration than we would klansmen, skinheads, neo Nazis, or other purveyors of hate. We will educate them where they are willing to learn, but hold them accountable for their ignorance as much as their actions;
Peter Wright presents the case that men who align with MGTOW fall under the classifications of ‘Aromantic’ and ‘Asexeual’ the “A” in LGTBQIA+.
Wright introduces his post by writing, ‘The headline is likely to provoke an emotional reaction from both the woke and the virulently anti-woke, but I stride forth with my flack jacket on in order to make a salient point: that far from being a fringe group of misogynistic terrorists who refuse to court the ladies, MGTOW is perfectly aligned with the LGBTQIA category ‘Aromantic’ – a term indicating a profound disinterest in romantic love.’
Citing the LGBTQIA Wiki Fandom as evidence of such claim, the site defines ‘aromatic’ as,
Aromantic, often shortened to aro, describes people who do not experience romantic attraction. One of the meanings of the A in LGBTQIA+ is Aromantic. Aromanticism may involve forms of attraction that are not necessarily romantic, or interests in relationships that are intimate in other ways. There is no singular experience of aromanticism.
The aromantic spectrum, also known as “aro-spec”, ranges from aromantic to alloromantic, the latter referring to people who regularly and consistently experience romantic attraction. People within the aromantic spectrum are part of a community that has much in common. They may use the label aromantic as a close fit for their experiences or use other labels that further describe them.
Therefore, because of this definition, Wright makes the case that while people who are MGTOW probably may never participate in pride parades, the ideology fits like a glove and is quite compatible with “aromantic” – joining the ever-growing list of different sexual orientations and identities.
For a further explanation to support his claims, Wright wrote the following as supporting evidence:
Men Going Their Own Way are unmoved by the fantasy of romantic love, viewing its latent BDSM overtones as a theatre of female dominatrixes and male subs, a model that has grown from a kind of sexual feudalism instituted by affluent ladies of the medieval era. MGTOW typically reject this model because it requires men to go down on a literal and proverbial knee before a woman. This qualifies MGTOW as Aromantic because, as stated on the LGBTQIA Wiki Fandom page, aromantic individuals “may choose to opt out of anything coded as romantic or feel discomfort with the idea of romantic relations.”
I should add, for the slow of mind, that MGTOW orientation is concerned with a wider array of issues than this. However, the romance problem forms a molten core around which many of their concerns for male self-determination revolve.
The result of ‘Men going their aromantic way’ is in some ways striking. These men have inaugurated an enduring sex strike, putting quietly into practice what women routinely threaten if they don’t get their own way – as we recently saw from Joy Behar who called for ‘sex strike’ after Supreme Court abortion law leak. As usual it seems men have beaten women to the punch:
As this graph demonstrates, young men are driving a decline in sex. Perhaps more accurately they may be rejecting the pathological contamination of sexual intimacy with romantic love – aka, the idea that men need to demonstrate obeisance and servitude toward “romantic” partners before being “rewarded” with sex.
The sex slump is not sufficiently explained by labeling reluctant men as ‘involuntary celibates,’ because the yearly baseline for numbers of incels has blown out. A more plausible explanation is that men of the West are becoming increasingly aromantic – much as they did en masse in Japan with the rise of grass eaters. This is certainly true of the growing numbers of MGTOW, who may be interested in other kinds of sex and relationship (casual relationships, intimate friendships, non-romantic intimate partnerships, relationships of peers, etc) but who are no longer moved by the false fairy-tale of romance.
Far from being a fringe group that warrants deplatforming, men going their aromantic way deserve to be embraced as a speshul minority, deserving of special rights and protections afforded to every other vulnerable demographic. Is it not true that MGTOW are bullied, harassed and treated with extreme bigotry? That should qualify them for special protections and considerations under the law.
MGTOW probably won’t be entering a Pride float anytime soon, but in theory their cause is every bit as deserving under the umbrella of that one, powerful word – AROMANTIC.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.1 Timothy 4:1-3
The commendation is NOT against those who want a loving and supporting wife or husband, but are single and are patiently waiting for such; or people who are widows and decide not to remarry; or young men who are looking to serve the Lord in different types of ministries, such as evangelism and missionary work, where marriage will most likely not be suitable (1 Corinthians 7:25-35). But, the condemnation here in 1 Timothy 4:1-3 are these MGTOWs, who, are voluntarily celibate for all the wrong reasons.
I understand that they are men who sick of the all the feminism and floosies these days, who have innocently stumbled upon MGTOW not really understanding what it is all about. If that’s you, then realize that it is a trap and a lie.
The fact that a pro-MGTOW website is conceding to the fact that what they believe and practice is a sexual perversion, that easily can be classified and aligned with aromanticism and asexualism, speaks volumes that MGTOW is not of God is clearly perverse and abnormal.
Moreover, to understand some MGTOWs view of things, YouTuber “Sandman” – who proclaims to be of the more popular voices for the movement – posted a video titled “Jealous Women – MGTOW” earlier this month. The premise of the message is that women are innately jealous of man, so therefore they are trying to suppress manliness, and all their behaviors are because they envy a man’s natural qualities.
Here is just some of what he said:
[…] of course the guy that goes his own way for many years, and sees one success multiple on top of another when women aren’t in his life, will figure out that behind every strong, successful man, is free time away from woman.
In other words, he’s saying women will drag you down and prevent a man from reaching their ‘full potential’ – that you don’t need women, and because of that, women are envious and seek to tear down and leech off of that man.
But then he went on to make a rather “intriguing” comment to say the least:
Look no further at women’s jealousy of man than the makeup and clothing industries. In almost all species the male is the more physically attractive half, but with humans the women use whatever means necessary to make themselves more visually appealing, because they’re probably jealous of men’s natural good looks without makeup and bright-colored clothing.
It would be the equivalent of a peahen outdoing the peacocks, by dressing up in neon green, neon purple, and neon pink feathers. There were more bright and colorful and longer than the males. That’s the point our species [have gotten] to: the men provide women financial resources to attempt to outdo us [men] when it comes to attraction.
Men invented bras to keep the “girls” on their chest from sagging to their knees too quickly. Go to the zoo and see the great apes and you’ll basically be drawn to the male ones, because they look better. The female ones just look too damn plain.
Do I even need to comment to that?
Bearing everything in mind that you have just read, these statements only corroborate with what the apostle Paul prophesized would happen, “that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
[1] This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEIR OWN SELVES, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; [5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
When you get to the core of MGTOW, you begin to quickly realize it’s a perverse philosophy, that promotes total self-adulation; which would explain the complete and utter distain and bitterness the strong number of males in MGTOW have towards women. This is why they so often, in their propaganda posts, will use the absolute worst of society to justify why women and femineity need to be rejected – only to jump to the other far-end extreme. Observe these two videos (I apologize for the profanity):
So, apparently sticking needles up your butt to be a juiced to the gills goof living with perpetual roid rage, is somehow “embracing masculinity.” See what I mean? This whole movement is all about pride and self-love. They are using these far-out extremes as a proxy, to then essentially apply this to most if not all women. Many verses could be listed, but these two paint a great picture:
When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Proverbs 18:3, 11:2
MGTOW is just “reverse feminism.” The arguments that these people are making, are quite literally the same things every stereotypical feminist-Jezebel has ever repeated.
[18] And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. [19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. [20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. [21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; [22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. [23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. [25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis 2:18-25
Unwarranted contempt and bitterness towards women shows contempt towards the Lord himself and his creation; just as women having contempt for men is no better.
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
Proverbs 18:22
It is a blessed thing for a man to find a loving and honorable wife. Anyone that has contempt and hatred for such is to be marked and avoided, to wit, anyone that professes to be a Christian, and has this distain and hatred for women in marriage.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, [27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [28] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. [29] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: [30] For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. [31] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. [32] This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. [33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.Ephesians 5:25-33
There is a huge difference between the self-love in this passage versus the self-love of 2 Timothy 3. The one listed in Ephesians 5 is of charity. When the man and wife become married and join flesh, they are then one unit, a team. What you do to her affects you, and vice-versa. Therefore, if you love and cherish your husband you love yourself.
In sum, MGTOW is a sexual perversion: there is no other way to slice it. And if some “Gigachad” who gets his daily intake of red pills objects to that, it does not change the fact that what they believe is perfectly congruent with the LGTBQIA+ movement, and is nothing more than pure self-love born of arrogance, derived from contempt for God’s creation and gift to man; who are a bunch loathsome incels with some serious insecurities and sodomite fetishes.
Granted, I am fully well aware the ‘options’ are quite slim these days: MGTOW does not excuse the fact that there are a LOT of whorish, sottish, simple, clamorous, maniacal, covetous women. I get it. But, once the Western nations collapse and the society goes up in smoke, most of the floosies and losers will be “removed” from the field; whereas those who did make it through this coming collapse will be “battle-tested” to say the least, and will more than likely not be these clamorous simpletons who dawdle about everything they have not a clue about. Be patient, if you are struggling to seek out a good wife, or a suitable husband.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Jacob,
We must pray that the LORD sends me a good woman, one who is my age and desires true repentance and the King James Bible and rejects church buildings as well.
I believe by faith, ONLY God can send me a woman as such. If God can send me and many others Bryan, which led to finding you as well, how much more can the LORD do to find or send me that special woman?
Can reading my King James Bible make that possible?
Also prayer and fasting but about fasting: can I do a one meal a day fast or no food at all?
Seek GOD 1st everyday in your life.
Yes Thomas, it just dawned on me (or perhaps God reminded me) seek ye first the kingdom of God…
I do agree that MGTOW is very perverse. Even Bryan Denlinger made a video years ago about MGTOW. Both MGTOW & the feminist movements were made by the government to spe rate and destroy families.
You are correct, Thomas.
The government did in fact create the feminist and MGTOW movements; particularly, the CIA and the Jesuits and knights of Malta. It’s all part of dismantling and further destroying America because she has rejected and turned her back on God and the King James Bible.
The MGTOW movement is also responsible for the slew of so-called men who talk nasty about women including their wives (if they’re married) treating women like they’re these bloodsuckers and killjoy party pooper burdens and so-called jokes of theirs poking fun at women and it’s in extremely poor taste, it makes me sick and I always thought “I think these jerks are closet homos, they have to be to be this disgusting and hateful towards women and wives.”
That’s true because their movement is based on hurt,anger and no relationship with God. Both sides are to blame. But 4th gen feminism has crept i to the church. It’s demonic
Very much agree, was part of MGTOW myself for 4 years until the Lord Jesus Christ saved me (to him be the glory!).
As for, “I think these jerks are closet homos,”, that’s partly true. I (and many others) were perverted by pornography and fictional character idolatory, and only after being saved did God give me strength to stop those things. My mind will continue to recover for a long time, but the word of God is wonderful medicine.
Colossians 3:9-13 (although the rest of the chapter is also very relevant).
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.
Ephesians 4:22-24
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Psalm 119:105
Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
During my struggles with the old man, I also appreciate 1 Corinthians 6:9-22
The scriptures have taught me what a Godly woman is like (Esther, Ruth, Mary, wife in Proverbs 31), so it has become much easier to discern the women I speak to. Since being saved it has also become easier to speak honestly to women, as well as see how their minds differ from that of a man (because God designed the two to work together).
Being a MGTOW there was always mistrust of any woman I speak to, and only when I was caring for my dying mother before being saved did I finally drop the mask of callousness. And as mentioned in 2 Timophy 3, I was prideful, covetous, boastful, without natural affection, and so on.
Redpill and the greater “manosphere” are very much ‘spoiled by philosophy’ (Colossians 2:8-9). The one thing at least that did happen, is I was protected from fornication as a result of fearing relationships. Also the alternative thinking (advance warning of the ‘plan-demic’) lead me to reading the KJV (and being convinced as a lost man that modern bibles are corrupt, since the society has been twisting events and other literature for a long time).
I haven’t considered that these movements might have been instigated by secret societies and shadow governments (Satan at the end of the day), but given Paul’s warning in 1 Timophy 4:3 that does make sense. Also makes sense because a lot of other ‘truther’ movements and groups (natural health, homeschooling, rf/emf danger, flat earth, etc.) are filled with liars and deceivers.
Thank you Jacob for being a real reporter, and bringing up such a range of topics on a regular basis!
Also, will you book ever become available again? Lulu have taken down your book a while ago (never had the chance to order it).
And thank you to my brothers and sisters in Christ!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
These guys are just selfish in all caps, without faith & fresh meat (or already crossed over) to the woman-hating, -despising elite male dominant sodomites seeking the ‘high ground’ through self-justification, psych-sorcery excuse….reminding you of Opus Dei & the old orders. The kinds who had the little altar in their homes to their little ego god lining up under the ‘divine’ emperor & Pontifex Maximus of Rome, who had such power they decided which children born into their households, whether of a wife, concubine, or slave lived or died. Ordering them taken out & abandoned outside the city walls for the wild animals & slavers to help themselves to.
–
The early Christians used to gather & raise them in the catacombs.
–
Reminds you of the modern variety like Erasmus Darwin, some of the Wedgewoods, the Huxleys etc who were looking for ways to avoid the customary, Christian-influenced responsibility of a family head toward the women & other dependents. That & his ‘hobbies’ in the Hellfire Club made him really resonate with the filthy pagans & their pagan evolutionary, survival-of-the-fittest, philosophy.

Returning to the vomit & wallows.

There’s a LOT of that amongst policeman & fireman now; likewise, the military; and weirdly, amongst union UPS drivers!
True enough.
It’s in all caps because its an acronym. MGTOW. That’s how acronyms are written. They aren’t “woman haters”. They just despise 4th generation feminism for ruining their chances at finding a mate. It has even crept into the church. Its tragic what 4 generations of feminism has done to modern society. im a woman and i do agree with much of their complaints. Sandman MGTOW wrote 2 books about it. Thought provoking.
The schools indoctrination of this behavior has been taught for decades. Being a woman I know it’s the man’s job to lead no matter who they are in my life. They are the authority through God, to mold and make me the woman God wants me to be. We need more men who are covered under the blood of Jesus Christ.
It’s sad to be out in the world and see this happening. My prayer is for more women to submit to their husbands, and do what they tell them to do.
What’s insane is the amount of influence MGTOW or any other YouTube movement has on the youth. Most children don’t watch TV, instead they surf the web unsupervised- next thing you know it, they stumble upon this content, and they conform.
Good point.
