It refers to men going their own way.

This term might puzzle a lot of women, it's about a man being persuaded either subliminally or physically, to emotionally abandon his spouse and direct his attention to other people who consider themselves more worthy of it.

How is this accomplished you might ask? Caring wives might be puzzled when their spouse suddenly "switches off", ie he seems unresponsive to any emotional contact and this is even in the absence of conflict. He buzzes around doing seemingly erstwhile things which take priority over alone time, to the dismay of his wife.

He is usually encouraged in this state of mind by select groups of people who fill his thoughts with various anti marriage contexts, to the extent he cannot differentiate between what he really thinks and what others are thinking for him.

Which men are more prone to this type of manipulation?

1. Social characters

2. Men who place excessive value on social input without thinking it through

3. Cheerful males (apt to interact more with questionable people)

4. Open minded males (see above)

5. Easily trusting nature

6. Traditional minded (see # 1, 2, 3)

When a man's social circle want to influence him towards MGTOW, they'll make him "see" how different he is from his spouse and how much their personalities differ.

A common trick is to emphasize the differences in background, the man is made to feel he relates more strongly with others who are "like him" and "understand him better" compared to the spouse. So this encourages him to withdraw emotionally on the home front.

One important reason why it's so easy to influence men in this manner is because they are more "community wired" as opposed to thinking something through as an individual. This is a very pronounced weakness especially in Nigerian men, they are not raised to be individuals but tend to defer unwaveringly to whoever they consider authority, this can include any strange voice they feel they can relate to, without investigating further.

Remember they are not guided by logic, but symbols.

How do you differentiate between MGTOW through a communal effort versus just the normal "guy stuff" due to a man's cluelessness about the female gender, in particular, his wife?

One way of checking to see which of the two applies: has his (or your) social circle changed significantly over some years? Figure out the rest from there.

People change with time, community will provide the necessary "cycles" to effect the personalities they want to see, and instruct them on what behaviours to show.

If the MGTOW is based on a communal effort (Nigerian churches are a favorite setting for this), then it's common knowledge you, as the wife, would be at a heavy disadvantage because any attempts to fight a whole number of people working in conjunction with one another, would cause you to be labelled crazy, moreso when you cannot produce any physical evidence they are intentionally making your husband estranged from you.

The whole point is to make the wife feel inconsequential both in general and also to her husband.

Also, look at the nature of the social circles surrounding you.

Check the marriages- is there anything unusual or out of the ordinary about them?

Try not to ignore any "funny" feeling you have that something is wrong.

Sometimes people will put up a very convincing front with their marriages, this can happen when you are on the lookout for singles, people will use their marriages to pretend and convince you they are legit and thus gain entrance to your mind.

You may be deceived, even the devil can masquerade as an angel sometimes, your option is to hold fast to your principles while others are doing their mission.

Another MGTOW thread? cheesy
This movement got you ladies so pressed - hence the shaming tactics.
Whether you like it or not, MGTOW is alive and well and men will continue going thier own way.
Even the holy bible says " in that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, "We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!"

MGTOW is simply the aftermath of toxic feminism. Deal with it.

genq, feminism and MGTOW are two sides of the same golden coin and in my opinion,anyone who is a part of one but despises those who are part of the other simply does not understand the concept of cause & effect. So while you are right about MGTOW being a response to toxic feminism, you as a supporter have failed to differentiate yourself from the feminists who would rather have women also go their own way.

Let love lead

Where do you see shaming here?

The bible verse you quoted is referring to a time of famine when nobody has anything to eat, why exactly are you mentioning it btw?

Must everything always be about an obsession with women? You can't even think straight anymore.

Quite sure you are not married btw, yet jubilating at the thought of 7 women begging one man to marry them. Prove me wrong.
