MRA & MGTOW Analogy

[Modern Day WarriorParticipant 499]

Most of us know the diff between MGTOW and MRAs, so this is mostly for the new guys, but the rest may find this analogy entertaining:

Let’s say you have a boat, with the boat representing society. And let’s say that it’s an old, broken down boat that has been subjected to a number of poorly-conceived “upgrades” that don’t work as planned. There are lots of patches in the hull, rusty fittings, and other signs of disrepair. Over the years, incompetent people have continually modified the boat in an attempt to make it better.

Maybe the engine was swapped out for something smaller to get better fuel economy, but now the boat is totally underpowered and slow, plus the engine always overheats. Maybe someone changed the propeller for a bigger one thinking that’ll make the boat faster, but all it does is overwork the engines even further. Maybe a bunch of electrical appliances were installed and now the generator can’t keep up. These modifications represent feminism.

All of these things add up to a totally worthless boat. It doesn’t perform well, barely floats, and would cost a lot to repair and maintain. MGTOW won’t purchase such a vessel. We’ll look at it, realize how hopeless it is, and walk away. If this is the only boat available, we’ll probably go invest in something else, like perhaps a new 4WD truck. The truck in this case, represents the freedom brought by MGTOW.

Back at the dock, MRAs look at the same boat and see potential. They hold onto the dream of having a nice boat. They believe this boat is worth fixing up, and so will purchase it and set about working on all the things that are wrong in the hope of one day enjoying smooth sailing. But every time they fix something, something else breaks. At the same time, people keep sneaking aboard to make more asinine modifications, creating entirely new problems. (Feminism) Still, the MRA presses on, convinced he can persevere.

Personally, I’d rather be driving that new truck. I have no problem with MRAs. Live and let live. I just think they’re wasting their time.

Ride to the sunset, pedal to the metal, away from the docks and don’t look back ever.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

I can’t fix the world, I’m at the point where I can only try to enjoy my own little slice of heaven.

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham
