MGTOW is right a lot.
I have given reasons why I am not personally MGTOW, and none of the reason has anything to do with my Christianity. There is not a single scripture in the Bible that requires anyone to ever get married. This is wonderful news for men like me, who has more than once been disparaged for being single. Of course, I am learning to be graceful, and wish to embarrass no one, so I will not divulge any names that I have long forgotten anyway (I'm clearly crappy at holding grudges).
Instead, I would like to share with you the story Jesus tells of a man about to be fired, who through one last act of corruption sees to his future about which Jesus says, "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light." (Luke 16:1-9 NIV)
So there are lots of Church traditions I don't have to follow, although most are based on the desires of most of the population through history. Even today, most people would like to be happily married if given the choice including the vast majority of men who are MGTOW. But tradition is no shortcut to truth or even good. They change over time and circumstance, the way shadows do as they come from different objects at different times of the day.
So I am free to admit there is much MGTOW gets right, as much as that may cause discomfort among the female population, especially those who are tradcons like me. What I want to do here then is to give an overview of the areas where MGTOW has it partly right. I want to see an honest discussion about our current situation and to do so means telling the story the way it is. So if you take to the fainting couch often, this may not be the post for you. Let's get started.
This is not what anyone intended.
If you were to go back through time to when every person was a senior in high school and ask them what they wanted for their future and for their relationships, this is not it. What we have is an absolute dumpster fire, raging to the point it is actually threatening to destroy the whole building next to it.
What most people would say they wanted at 18 would be to have a good, valuable life and a great family life in their personal terms. We are so far from that in the present moment we can't get a glimpse of it through the Hubble telescope. And every step leads us away from what we want rather than towards it. This is not what anyone intended, and that's a fact.
Society and government have been co-opted by feminist/communist ideology.
We see everywhere in our culture and society that women are treated as the superior sex, and it often leads to the actual suppression of men. In no way is the society we are in today working towards any type of justice or impartiality. From top to bottom, the feminist/postmodernist/communist ideology is being adopted, and that means men must be made to "sit in the back" as Obama once said. Especially white males, who created the Western civilization that makes our lives today possible. And the truth is, it is destroying us and our future.
The only correct response is to reject untoward behavior.
The problem with most tradcons are unrealistic expectations. And society refuses to hold people accountable for their issues, unless it is a social justice thing. But this is exactly what we need in the present moment. Men should reject women behaving badly, and we should stand up for ourselves. In this sense, MGTOW hits the nail on the head in two different ways; these women behaving badly are really not marriage material, and every man has an absolute right not to engage in a personal relationship with them. And this is the only real power we have of coercing the public discourse back to anything resembling rationality.
I myself am still single despite living in Arizona for over 18 years, and being attached to a large church and freely moving among the others in the area. But I can tell you that even at church there were very few women worth dating, and I was not able to find a quality woman to start a relationship with. Women are lacking today, badly lacking, even those who are considered to be "reformed" as those who attend church should be. Yes, God is into second chances, but that does not magically make every apple in a bad bushel good. God enables good, He does not force it upon you.
Eventually, the tide will turn. We will live in a future society that one way or another will be much more conservative than today. A good part of the reason for that is the way women in society are doing far more damage than good. People in general are becoming frustrated with the artificial postmodernist environment being forced upon us, and the growing threat from the Islamic civilization over the next decade will require that we respond to it. When the dam finally breaks, women will be forced to face the truth that they now can dismiss; this isn't working, and it's never going to.
