It’s even funnier when MGTOW does it. MGTOW is supposed to mean “Men Going Their Own Way” but for people “going their own way” they seem to spend a lot of time stalking anywhere that women gather so they can whine about how badly women treat men.
Men Getting Triggered Over Women seems to be a better backronym.
The term “mgtow or men who going their own way” is a lie. They spend all their time on attacking women.
As a man who scrolls past your community most days: keep being yourselves! Women need their own space, just like everyone else!
+1, usually I’ll peek in comments, I enjoy reading the conversation and stay out as it’s not my space but it’s nice reading some of the discussion
We really appreciate men like you and so many have been really supportive since we started this community. We are women only so please don’t comment again, but I’m leaving your comment up so the community knows you’ve got our back 🥰
Thanks so much for your support! I’ve been really moved by how many men on lemmy have been behind us. We are women only so please don’t comment again, but I’m leaving your comment up as its lovely 😊
This is a serious and frustrating problem for women’s spaces. But I can’t help but feel a little bad for some incels.* The ones who think it’s all about height or jaw size or hair or physique. The ones who think all Stacys are slutty cum dumpster carousels for the Chads of the world to use. The ones incapable of seeing women in a nonsexualized light. The ones who fill their heads so full of hateful 4chan misogyny until they think women are the absolute enemy.
Somehow they get sucked into incel/blackpill/manosphere content, which is absolutely brainless but it justifies their belief that women are the cause of all their problems.
And the reason I feel bad for them is that it obviously stems from a deep and painful lack of self-confidence. And they just dig themselves into such a deep hole of self-brainwashing and delusion, it seems impossible that they could ever climb out. So they perpetuate their own suffering.
(*Don’t get me wrong - the ones who look up to Elliot Rodger or George Sodini can go get fucked.)
I have no sympathy for most those fuckers, sure most of them were dragged in, but by their own misogynistic beliefs
There seems to be a type of man who just can’t stand seeing women exist, do things, or, god forbid, enjoy life, for any other purpose than his pleasure.
I think that this is also the leading cause if lesbian fetishism: these men can’t possibly fathom the idea of women forming relationships or having sex for any other reason than to please a man.
Yep and when we don’t have his pleasure as the focus for our existence, then we’re just selfish, awful people.
ahh yes, i must be doing this thing you have never been interested in your entire life, juuust to get your attention in particular…
