Gentleman,
I think it necessary to start a thread regarding MGTOW in the news, or more specifically, point towards news articles which reflect/ redirect back to this very site. This would allow moderators/owners to closely monitor the sights reputation, as well as offer them the ability to monitor its PR direction.
In doing my research I stumbled across this article from ‘Clarin’, a Spanish based news-feed. The article(1) was written by Dr. Walten Ghedin. I was unable to gain further information regarding the validity of this persons position/ and or verify his credentials. As an aside, I utilized Google-Translate to render the contents of the page, so there may be some things lost in translation.
The tone of the article very much starts neutral, albeit even fact based. It gives a perspective on the current state of affairs in regards to Womens social standing. It even references a thought from late Swedish author August Stringberg. It entails how (in 1884) the business of conducting day to day affaires in the home was executed in respect to the husband and his spouse.
However, in the portion of the article entitled “What is manosphere or androsphere?”, the tone takes a more adverse and negative view of MGTOW. Gheding states “E I misygonist thinking is imperative in these web pages in addition to prohibit access to women, homosexuals, and feminist men. The would have to expect anything else from them. And like any self-respecting group to form a virtual ghetto, you will have its own lexicon to identify: the “red pill” are those who favor and those who oppose are called “blue pill”; “Alpha male” & “beta male” or are classified into different types and levels, as discussed below.”
Again, as I don’t want assume something has been lost in translation, but pointing out the site as being a proverbial “Ghetto” is as far from the truth as a lie could fly. Furthermore, I have yet to really see anyone band for their sexual preference, but again, from a PR perspective, the information is misleading. This to me is expected, as it is evident the author has not really absorbed/assimilated the information given to him. I will state however, that author at this point has NOT pointed out his sole source as being MGTOW.com.
The piece of the article which identifies MGTOW.com (and, might I add, a direct link) is entitled “Men who follow their own Path”. This portion of the article seems straight forward enough, stating “
Men who follow their own path
The website MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) suggests that man must become aware of their capabilities and not compromise, must learn to “see the risks of commitment to women and free”. It depends build your own path and do without the determinants of life as a couple and family. The logo that identifies a vertical line is meaningless with an arrow separated into ascending order . For MGTOW man is the result of a Matrix (society, culture) that instills beliefs and imposed their provider role as the core of manhood. The Matrix leads man to do everything he does to be a good candidate women and so indulge their vaginas. The MGTOW identify with the “red pill” in the movie Matrix allows you to see the reality as it is. Allied to the “blue pill” they are those that are still dominated by the conditions that oppress “gentlemen men, dependent woman who learned to withstand all of them; They give them reason and always put in front of family and friends. ”
This portion of the article seems straight forward enough. It is followed by the MGTOW symbol with the words “The Awakening” above.
Where the article starts to take another negative term is when it states that MGTOW are divided into 3 types. With “Type 1” being “ males are unattractive as the ideal of beauty imposed by society. They feel rejected by the ladies. Underestimated, are shy, they do not believe in their skills of seduction. Therefore they seek restraint in groups of friends, family or develop activities they enjoy. Desist from the conquest to not feel upset.” I find it hard to agree with this bit of information. As with the entirety of this article no sources were cited. Therefore credibility to original authors of details, facts, statistics is unknown.
In closing, I want to apologize for the breadth and depth of this post. I am simply trying to improve the quality of my own post. Let me know what you think. And if you find something yourself, please add to thread. Thanks.

Funny, isn't it? How women thrive on a mans time, attention and resources, while simultaneously telling him he isn't enough...
