MGTOW (pronounced “MIG-tau,” at least per everyone I spoke with) is a worldwide social phenomenon and online community of heterosexual men who have chosen a lifestyle that avoids legal and romantic entanglements with women at all costs. A Man Going His Own Way values self-ownership above all else, believing that he — and only he — has the right to decide what his goals in life should be. He refuses to surrender his will to the social expectations of women and society since he believes both have become hostile toward him.

Some have noted a certain irony in the fact that MGTOW’s methodology is similar to what feminists have been doing for 50 years. “The ‘migtow’ aversion to interacting with women has a less pleasant parallel to radical feminism,” wrote Matt Forney on Return of Kings. “In the 1970s, extremist feminists such as Andrea Dworkin argued for ‘political lesbianism,’ where feminists only had relationships with other women, regardless of their sexual orientation. Dworkin’s logic was that since men were oppressing women, feminists who dated men were literally fraternizing with the enemy. I wouldn’t be surprised if some ‘migtows’ start advocating ‘political homosexuality’ in the future.”
