I think peaceful MGTOW got a lot of things right and it's worth considering for modern men to believe in.

I think the problem comes back to the other post about it kind of inspiring incel movements. Men doing peaceful MGTOW aren't going to tell you they're doing it because they have developed beyond the need to do so. What you have left is the mess we have right now. Better social education would be nice but add that to the list of things that divide the population.
Wtf is mgtow?

No. I am kidding.
Its 'Men Going Their Own Way' a movement which ostensibly supports Mens Rights, but in actualiy is generally populated by mysoginistic views that, originally, over a decade ago, were rather tame compared to what the movement has evolves into now.
The original idea, where the name comes from is basically that women are so easily able to screw over men in various ways that these men who founded it, basically all after having been accused of rape, domestic abuse or lost everything in a divorce, was that these guys were just gonna avoid women from now on, go their own way.
Time went on and their rhetoric escalated and it became evident that many of these original guys were real pieces of shit and were actually guilty of all the above things they said they'd been falsely accused of.
It kind of provided some of the kindling that led to the explosion of incels and the general absurdly misogynistic views that many video gamers and right ring younger commentators are known for now.
At this point the only position theyve ever espoused with any kind of seeming legitimacy to me at least is that there does /seem/ to be a substantial imbalance in custody cases in in divorces having the kids handed over to women instead of men.
But I am far from an expert on this, and its entirely possible my views there are based on basically 15 year old data and knowledge of relevant laws and cases, so...

All that being said, OP is apparently referencing 'peaceful MGTOW' which I assume to be a splinter group of some kind? No clue.
Thanks for the info. Splinter group or not, identifying with that acronym says to me that none of the espoused beliefs are dealbreakers. So to paraphrase my earlier post: Gross.
It appears that it is/was an anti-feminist movement.
Men going their own way.
did your post pop up for me because of algorithms? I was just researching MGTOW because am a WGTOW but Lemmy doesn't have a community for us yet.
