A journey to self esteem

[hooperParticipant 0]

Just a quick introduction, I have enjoyed many MGTOW blogs and ideas pinging around the web and am fascinated by the speed that ideas can shape society and shape where we are going as a society. Some of the videos I watched were massive wake up calls and just want to thank all who have contributed such powerful and poignant works. I believe we are all stronger together and that includes women as well.. maybe I am going against general consensus here but I don’t want to see some sort of gender war where men learn to hate women and believe they are some kind of satanic entity, I want to see men redress the imbalances in sexual power and their overall self esteem, to re-evaluate our roles in society and reclaim our place as worthwhile beings. This I feel is a journey that starts within and by going it alone and ultimately to cultivating self love, self sufficiency and being able to say no to any deal that is not beneficial and fair to both parties. On a personal note I have noticed improvement in how I feel generally just from acknowledging that only I can define who I am and my worth in any interaction. That is the ultimate freedom and as we get to that place, people will undoubtedly ridicule the attempt, try to put us ‘back in our place’ ,  define us as a bunch of rapists waiting to happen or see us as just useful cogs in a commercial wheel suited to one particular sex. I believe that this is an important movement and one that will separate us from feminism because the goal is equality for both parties and a better situation overall, not the subjugation and humiliation of one sex at the expense of the other

I agree! The worst of the problem is that now women will make up charges against men with no grounds just because they got up on the wrong side of the bed or listened to one of their idiot friends. I don’t think we can get men and women on the same page until the legal system exposes them for what they are and they admit to it. Don’t think that is going to happen anytime soon..

Afraid the war of the sexes has been raging on since the beginning of time. A married man experiences a gender war inside is own home every day…. dating all the way back to pre-Shakespeare with Taming of the Shrew…. to Schopenhauer’s essay “On women” (c.1865)…… which is exactly the same story as “My Fair Lady” (c.1964)… and it’s still true today. MGTOW is not new. It’s a concept that’s been around for centuries, including a printed article from 1880 (uncovered in my research) where it even uses the term “man going his own way”.

This has nothing to do with “hating women” and it’s important you understand that. I’ll say it again. Hating women for what they are is like hating a Kangaroo for hopping or shaking your fist at the sun for gamma rays. Futile. But understanding their mechanisms and female nature is like understanding the planets or anything else. If I notice the moon has no atmosphere and talk about it, it doesn’t mean I “hate” the moon. It doesn’t make you a “moon-sogynist” either.

Welcome to MGTOW, man. And Happy New year.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.
