Now that women have jobs, men can’t control them with money any more: A MGTOWs lament
by David Futrelle

Man controlling woman with money ... or woman controlling man with sex? Only the MGTOWs know for sure



Searching through the archives on Yahoo Answers' Gender Studies section -- which, because the internet is the internet, has been completely overrun with angry lady-haters -- I found one anonymous fellow asking a slightly ungrammatical but easily answerable question: "Why women hate MGTOW?" I can't speak for women, or even for that relatively small portion of women that even know what MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) means, but I'm guessing the first answer that pops to mind for most MGTOW-haters is: Because MGTOWs keep promising to go their own way, but they never seem to actually do it.

Our anonymous MGTOW friend doesn't agree, though his attempts to further explain the question inadvertently provide an answer before he gets around to offering his own explicit answer (which happens to be wrong). He begins by sketching out a vision of sexual and romantic relationships between men and women that is not only oversimplified to the point of absurdity but also rather chilling.

"If women control men through sex and attraction then it could be said that men control women through access to resources."


Well, that's a scary way to look at relationships -- as a perpetual war for control in which women manipulate with sex and men with money. And if women control men with their sex appeal, what happens when they hit, say, age 80? Do their husbands cash in their remaining retirement savings to so in search of a younger model?

"When women didn't work men controlled women by controlling the purse strings. Now women have jobs so men can't put money over women's heads."

Women have always worked, of course, but apparently it's unfair to men for women to earn their own money from work because then men can't control them?

"And society doesn't accept and allow violence so men don't really have control over women in modern society."

Fucking hell. Why does every MGTOW (not to mention every MRA, every incel, every Red Piller) seem to think like an abuser?

1. Age 80? Guys like this would likely say 35 is the sell by date.

And would remind the women daily if they didn’t maintain perfect appearances.

4. I bet the manosphere smells like rotten eggs.

Anyone who calls themselves an incel, an MRA, or is part of the MGTOW movement is a fucking loser. Let’s not mince words at all. There’s a difference between lamenting ones lack of romantic success and believing that teh womenz should bow to your feet and kiss them.

There’s nothing wrong with being single, but there’s a reason these particular guys are single.

6. "I am white and male! I was promised privileges goddammit!!!"

"Society doesn't condone violence against women these days". Gee, I wonder why you're single?
