Thus say our opponents.

Opposition to MGTOW is merely the skilled use of non-falsifiable feelings as red herrings. Accusing one of harbouring such feelings is merely a tactic to put them on the defensive. While one should remove one’s self from whatever imperious t~~~ or mangaina that would tell a man his private business, if one cannot, the best defence is a good offence: “I’m sorry you feel that way.”

It is nebulous and non-specific as “that way” is not defined, therefore, it is impossible to effectively rebut. It also relies on non-falsifiable feelings as the basis of the argument.

Yes another effective way to handle it (where the best defence is a good offense) is to say: “Happy to disappoint you”.
They think they are criticizing but they are ACTUALLY complimenting.

Here is a classic example used in a response not even 10 minutes ago:

@RatchetLiving Thanks! Any man who disproves "men are stupid" (http://t.co/NWAHFaRzWF) would appear 2 have a "high ego" Happy to disappoint

The thing here is that men can end up going MGTOW, or be around it, for reasons you described.  But that doesn’t mean most (or all) MGTOW do.  If you want to counter it, you can ask them if they seriously think that all men going MGTOW do it for the reasons they describe.  And if they say yes, you can press them to ask them why the purpose and meaning of everyone’s lives is supposed to be to mate and have children.  That is what is being said there, when they end up questioning it, and arguing.  The argument is: Your purpose in life is to procreate and have kids and raise them.  You can question why they think that.  That is the core of all that.  You can do a lot with it, but I would rather not waste my time on that.

For people who need men like a fish needs a bicycle, they sure whine when we’re not there for them, lmao.

I have often wondered why on earth a bicycle ever needed a fish? Now, don’t get me wrong. I am a big fan of fish — when properly cooked with an interesting sauce — but there is no way I want a fish’s oozings and excretions all over my prized bicycle.
