Hello everyone, I am new here (to the forums specifically), I was researching a topic and since I was already familiar with this site I happened to notice this thread.
I feel the need to comment because there is a severe amount of dishonesty, cognitive dissonance, lack of common sense, and hypocrisy amongst the MRA and MGTOW community.
As someone who has been willing to sympathize and understand the complaints and struggle of men who feel "attacked" I have reached the conclusion that many men and boys who have fallen prey to MRA/MGTOW want to have their cake and eat it too and that they are no different from the feminists they complain about or the women they feel are somehow inferior.
To sum up:
They want/like the image of patriarchy, but dont want./like the responsibilities of patriarchy
They want a June Cleaver but don't want to take care of June Cleaver
They want submission but don't want to EARN submission
They want respect but don't want to EARN respect
They want a crown but don't want to regulate a Kingdom
And thus they blame women and feminism
Patriarchy is tough. Even for men and boys.
This is what alot of MRA/MGTOW men/boys don't understand. They conveniently mask the real problem as "gynocentrism" when it's really them not being able to handle the demands of being a provider and protector in a changing economy.
