ok...i see you have an anecdotal idea of what MGTOW is all about....yes like any group there are men with problems in it...but the vast majority of MGTOW are just regular men who have been screwed over by the courts...or have seen it done...or have had bad experience after bad experience with women and choose not to have relationships...and no they havent sworn off sex...just relationships
there are plenty of divorced men in it...and a lot of them have children...
blanket statements are dangerous things
yikes.
Men who already have children are not "Going Their Own Way". they can't. These men have the legal obligation to provide care for their children - if not physically, emotionally and mentally, they must provide partial financial care.
A man can't have children and then decide he prefers to be alone and free, that he's"going his own way".
As I understand it, MGTOW is an ideology of men who choose to avoid emotional and financial entanglements to women, bc they believe society coddels women to the detriment of men-kind. So they don't have love relationships (they have "transactional" sex or casual sex), they don't cohabitate with women, they don't get married, most importantly they and don't have children.
A person can't retroactively
go their own way. until your kid is 18, he is entangled with that women. period.
The men you speak of are simply
bitter and
maladjusted, and using the MGTOW moniker as a cover and coping mechanism.
the men who are angry inside because women don't find them desirable, or the men who are ordered to pay child support and are furious, or the weirdos who have such low self image that they don't think they'll be able to handle adult responsibilities or emotions in the future and so they preemptively swear off love
these men are not adjusting and progressing normally.
