Many men enter into MGTOW tortured, beaten, and pissed. In theredpill subreddit you frequently encounter the term 'anger phase.' I don't agree with TRP philosophy in its entirety, but there are some lessons to take away from the more competent users, and the anger phase is definitely one such concept. To those not familiar with TRP, the anger phase is a perfectly natural and justified response to years of experiencing a brazen attack on masculinity. Unlike women, men experience actual legal discrimination in the West. If they are the victims of domestic violence, they are likely to be ridiculed by the cops, if not thrown in jail. If they are found guilty of ANY crime, they are more likely to experience a much harsher sentence. They are systematically ignored by the education system, constantly misdiagnosed and overly medicated to erase any possibility that they can't be primed for 7 hours a day inside a classroom. Outside of the legal realm, men constantly experience a barrage of double standards that result in self-destructive habits like drug abuse and suicide. The manosphere is the only platform that provides an outlet for these men to vent. Forget about TV, movies, radio, or newspapers. Women are the primary consumers of mass media, and so it caters to them. You have daytime television shows where a bunch of overweight, post-wall women like Sharon Osbourne laugh about a man being castrated by his frustrated wife, but feminists are more alarmed by a fictitious choke scene featuring Mystique from X-Men and so the latter creates a more public ruckus in all but the Internet.

But while men might enter MGTOW featuring some alarming thoughts about women, the philosophy itself is not misogynistic. In fact in its most extreme forms a man going his own way doesn't even feature women in the equation. Unfortunately, this too goes against the feminist narrative where men have to constantly undergo self-flagellation for years of "male oppression" that never directly benefited them in the first place. Take a peak at thebluepill satirical subreddit. I'm hesitant to even call it satirical since that implies some success at being funny, but often their users resort to calling us desperate virgins, undesirables. There's a subtle message in these attacks: your value is completely dependent on how women view you. MGTOWs, according to them, aren't even making a valuable statement because women didn't desire you in the first place! (Proceed with cackling)

Without realizing it, these feminists and blue pillers are PROVING our point that society views men as disposable, especially if they dare to put their concerns before the concerns of women. Luckily our strength is a very simple message. Men, care for yourselves. Unlike feminism, which requires you to submit belief in Pagan idols like "the patriarchy" and "intersectionality," MGTOWs merely have to act in their own benefit. The only criteria you have to submit to is personal. Some MGTOWs still interact with women; others don't. Our movement is not about conforming to some rigged system of rules. It's not about crying over spilt milk. It's about bettering ourselves in all realms of life that matter to us. And there's absolutely nothing misogynistic about that.
