MGTOW is a movement that is taking hold amongst certain men in recent years. It is based on a concept called gynocentric; now gynocentricism speaks to the belief or mindset that says that the world that we live in presently favours women to the detriment of men. MGTOWs believe that in the era of political correctness there is a big push to favour women and the pay off for this push is to disadvantage men.
What is MGTOW, MGTOW is an acronym for "men go their own way", that’s right, men go their own way, now, I have to say this, this is nothing to do with sexuality and the majority if not all of men in this movement are heterosexual, the movement is not so much to do with sexuality as it is to do with politics.
Now when did this movement start, as an argument (i.e. men rebelling against being dominated by women) you can trace it pretty much back to the beginning of time, however, as a codified movement with its present day label the earliest records of printed recordings of this phrase, “men go their own way” can be traced back to the 1850s with quotes from the famous Serbian engineer Nikola Tesla hinting at the birth of this movement.
However, as a political movement it gained its real currency fairly recently, over the last 20 years or so.
There are copious literatures on this topic and there are fairly compelling arguments on both sides but the upshot of it is that this movement is essentially about a bunch of heterosexual men, most of them fairly young choosing to shun a life that that includes women as an act of some sort of political protest
All I can say to the MGTOWs is …… good luck with that!.
