Reasons why men go their own way (to be incorporated in the article)

  • Divorce statistics
  • Unenforced prenuptual agreements
  • Emotional sequelae of divorce: male suicide.
  • Asset division after divorce
  • Alimony
  • Child support
  • (lack of) Child custody
See also: Parental alienation syndrome
  • Paternity fraud
  • Lack of reproductive rights: Spermjacking, etc.
  • Violence against men: Domestic violence. Female on male rape not taken seriously. Stalking, etc.
  • False rape accusations
  • False domestic violence accusations
  • Lack of benefits in marriage: A wife has no legal obligations in marriage. No obligation to have sex. No obligation not to cheat, not to cuckold. There is nothing a husband is legally entitled to in marriage. No fault divorce belongs in this section(?).
See also: Sexless marriage
  • Downsides of cohabitation: encroachment on male living space ("the prospect of having your personal space rearranged, and even being driven out of your personal space (which you're paying for) and into the garage isn't very savoury."), common law marriage, palimony, etc.
See also: Man cave
See also: Palimony
  • Substitute goods and services: self-improvement, hobbies, sports, video games, porn, sex toys, sexbots, prostitutes, escorts, massage parlors, artificial wombs, etc.
  • Decreasing wages: mancession, more difficult to support a household, etc.
  • Personal productivity:

Research shows increased scientific and artistic productivity in men who do not marry. As Christopher Orlet observes in his New English Review article Bachelorhood and Its Discontents,

Some believe that the contributions of the many celibate medieval monks (such as Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Desiderius Erasmus, Michael Servetus) were essential in preserving and building European culture through the medieval age and laying the foundation for the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.[2]

It's what I like to call the new misogyny—basically a large amorphous internet subculture that is consumed with hating and attacking women. Some of these people call themselves men's rights activists and portray what they are doing as somehow beneficial for men. Others call themselves "men going their own way," the basic premise being that they want to live independently of women but end up talking most of the time about how terrible women are. That whole subculture is very heavily represented among gamers and on websites like Reddit. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

Yes, I sympathise that her many life choices never produced children, but it's not men who are to blame. For years feminism has declared that women don't need us; that we are redundant. Fine. But guess what - we don't need women either. And it's trending. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
  4. ^ Nolan Brown, Elizabeth. "Why So Many Men Who Hate Women Love Limited Government". Reason Magazine. Along with standard MRA views—feminists have destroyed the rightful social order, men are the ones truly discriminated against today, etc.—the community subscribes to a four-part "Levels of MGTOW," the first and second of which involve ditching romantic, social, and sexual relationships with all women. The third step is economic disengagement, in which one "refuses to earn more money than is necessary for sustaining life" because government is "tyrannical" and one must "actively drain money from the bureaucrats." The fourth step is wide-scale societal disengagement. The founders of the MGTOW community—or "Red Pill," as it is now more commonly known—said in an early mission statement the group's goal is to instill "masculinity in men, femininity in women, and work toward limited government!" {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

MGTOW is described as a movement which centres on a 'statement of self-ownership' whereby its members aim to steer clear of the social expectations of women and society in the belief that both have become 'hostile' against masculinity. According to Sherratt, though, MGTOW's message is about staying away from the opposite sex, and not doing 'what's expected' of a man by remaining single and having no children. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
  8. ^ Ruth Dudley Edwards. "Deluded feminists divide us and imperil basic freedoms". The Irish Independent. On campuses, with war being waged on "lad-ism" and wild allegations being made about rape-culture, men are becoming frightened of challenging women, lest they are accused of harassment, discrimination, sexism or God knows what. A Cardiff student called David Sherratt explained last week why he is part of MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way): "I'm genuinely too scared to go near a woman, just in case. At university, I'm made to feel like a rapist all the time." And in the workplace, men are nervous that saying the wrong thing might lead to a complaint or a lawsuit. Listen, you social-justice warriors, you need to get a sense of perspective and (trigger warning) man up. The West is now in a war against Islamists - violent fundamentalists who would enslave all women and murder all those they consider deviants. Men, women and the transgendered should all be standing up to this terrible threat together: for most of us, our main weapon to challenge this toxic ideology is through the freedom of speech they hate. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, he said: 'I wouldn't say I don't plan to have a girlfriend, ever. I'd make the exception for maybe one person at some point.

During the last few years researching this age group, I've stumbled onto a powerful underground current of male bitterness that has nothing to do with outsourcing, the Mancession, or any of the other issues we usually associate with contemporary male discontent. No, this is bitterness from guys who find the young women they might have hoped to hang out with entitled, dishonest, self-involved, slutty, manipulative, shallow, controlling—and did I mention gold-digging?

"MGTOW" is short for "men going their own way." This is a school of thought similar to Red Pill that's all about being a man who "will not surrender [his] will to the social expectations of women and society, because both have become hostile against masculinity." A fully-realized MGTOW (there are levels to it) is someone who shuns all relationships with women, short-term, long-term, romantic, and otherwise. He eventually shuns society as a whole: "For all intents and purposes, he does not exist. A urbanite might keep to his own apartment, while someone further out may simply head into the wilderness and go off-grid."

Thus was born a movement called "Men Going Their Own Way," or MGTOW. I had never heard about it before last fall, but once brought to my attention, I've seen related stories cropping up all over the place. Many men, it seems, have decided women aren't worth the trouble. They are eager to participate in one-night stands, but that's about the extent of their willingness to commit. This in not just a case of "Why buy the cow when the milk is free?" Instead, for many men it seems the cost of the cow is simply too high.
