Hello everyone.

Just thought I'd mention a movie I watched the other day on Netflix and how it relates to MGTOW. In short, the movie follows a small number of individuals (largely men, one or two women), many of which had high-status, high-paying careers who subsequently renounced their materialistic lifestyles and decided to drastically reduce their living space, possessions owned, and other expenditures in favor of a more fulfilling life centered on free time, hobbies, and interpersonal relationships. Notably, one of the two main subjects switched to a minimalist lifestyle after a divorce (Whether this was by choice or necessity due to alimony/child-support is not mentioned)

What was remarkable to me was how the film had gynocentrism staring it right in the face, but blindly danced around it. It was as if there was a crucial piece of the puzzle that they were oblivious to.

For instance, the film spends a decent amount of time discussing the excesses of consumer culture and its focus on shoddy, disposable, and 'fashionable' goods, but doesn't mention that it's women who are the ones driving consumer culture.

The two main subjects go on a morning talk show, and the female presenter's first question to them boils down to "But what happens when you marry a materialistic woman?". Another person remarks that living a minimalist life is essentially equivalent to being a bachelor. A married man interested in pursuing a minimalist lifestyle laments that because he has a family, he cannot unilaterally live the life he wants to, and a father of a daughter and son contrasts the ease with which his son adopts to minimalist living to the resistance his daughter exhibits.

It's an decent movie, if a bit repetitive. For me the interest lies in seeing people come so tantalizingly close to MGTOW truths yet fall short of real understanding. For that reason alone, I recommend it for viewing.
