In the Middle East and in Islam, it's common for prominent thinkers and clerics to publish books about the "thousand-year questions." These books include various interpretations and answers to questions as old as mankind itself: How did we get here? What is man's relation to his creator? What is good? How are women and men to interact?

This last question is one that the western world brought to center stage and obfuscated. In the 1950s and prior, expectations of men, women, and their interactions were relatively clear: The man works, the woman tends the home, and the man's word rules. The original feminists saw this model and sought to destroy it because they view it as disadvantaging them.

Whether or not the early feminists were right, clearly they were successful. However, this has left a moral "vacuum" with both young men and young women clueless as to how they should be acting towards the other gender.

In the present day, we see third wave feminists who seek to replace the 1950s answer to the thousand-year question with a relationship model that emphasizes female superiority over men. It is our duty, as MGTOW's, to serve as a counter balance to third-wave feminists and to build and practice a relationship model that is modern, better, and looks out for men's interests.

A modern relationship should be like a modern job in an "at-will" employment state: Each party's value is determined in the open labor (relationship) market, and each party's strongest bargaining chip is his own willingness to get up and leave the current job (relationship) at an instant. As one who seeks peace must prepare for war, so must a man who seeks long term monogamy prepare to do without. This is the modern answer to this thousand-year question.
