Men Going Their Own Way
(more commonly abbreviated MGTOW, pronounced /ˈmɪg.taʊ/) is an
online community[1]
supported by websites and social media presences.[2]
The movement is part of what is more broadly termed the manosphere.[3]
According to
Sunday Times
journalist Martin Daubney, members of the MGTOW community believe that legal and romantic entanglements with women fail a
cost–benefit analysis
and risk–benefit analysis.[4]
According to Frank Worley-Lopez, the movement is a response to gynocentrism.[5]
According to Kay Hymowitz, some self-identified MGTOW express bitterness because they see women as
hypergamous
and manipulative. She observed that women complain about inequality in some contexts while demanding special treatment in others. She has suggested examining MGTOW websites, such as MGTOW.com and EternalBachelor, for readers interested in the subject matter.[6]
BBC television personality
Reggie Yates
did a documentary on Britons who take part in the manosphere. He also attempted to contact MGTOW, but none of them could be reached for comment.[7]

As a result of these views, such men are making what they see as logical, factual and cost-benefit-based decisions about women, dating and sex — and their brutally stark conclusion is that it’s simply not worth the risk, expense or effort.

If you’ve been using social media of late, it’s almost impossible that you won’t have come across the MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) movement. It’s a response to decades of feminist legal and social hypocrisy and what is often referred to as "gynocentrism.

this is bitterness from guys who find the young women they might have hoped to hang out with entitled, dishonest, self-involved, slutty, manipulative, shallow, controlling—and did I mention gold-digging?
