remove all of the society rules and standards AND EXPECTATIONS for a man.
MGTOW enlightens us in the deception and lies we've been indoctrinated with since we were able to crawl.
However, actually taking action--once we've been enlightened--takes a herculian effort to "de-program" ourselves from what should be considered the most pervasive, entrenched CULT of our time.
Everyone "on the plantation," or "in the matrix" (been there) is so shit-scared of not being accepted by, and/or included-in the larger group, they willingly throw their identity, individuality, logic, rationality, intelligence, honor and integrity right under the bus (especially with regard to marriage).
Add to this, the fact we men have Mother Nature (10 times more testosterone coursing through our bodies) pushing us to pursue pussy (females) at all cost, its not hard to understand why we're where we are.
MGTOW shows men the CRITICAL IMPORTANCE of learning to seek validation and acceptance from OURSELVES. This allows for a healthy questioning of our OWN motivations, needs and desires from an INTERNAL perspective, to BE OUR OWN MAN (which scares the shit out of the gynocentrized horde), which I believe--as you do--is the true, natural, empowering state for any man.
I fucking love it when I read of a man, (as an example) who being enlightened by MGTOW TRUTH, says he's left his soul-sucking, stressful, drugerous, albeit "very high-paying" job that was killing him from the inside out. A job he NOW KNOWS knows he pursued primarily for the materialistic-based admiration, attractiveness and desireability from the larger group (especially women) it garnered him.
He now changes careers to a job he finds much more inspiring and enriching, albeit it doesn't pay nearly as much, gets rid of the"crap" he didn't need and now doesn't want. He is now happier, healthier and centered being his own man. His new-found sense of freedom, coupled with his overall sense of well-being and ever-increasing self-esteem, almost seem to good to be true. But he knows it isn't, as he reads daily of his MGTOW peers stating the same newfound experience.
He knows this change may indeed confuse his blue-pill peers, family and friends. After all, in their minds, he "had it made," and will look at his healthy-readjustment as a THREAT TO THE STATUS-QUO.
He, however, being MGTOW, fully expected this reaction, and knows they are driven by their fear in their reaction. After all, they know they must "belong" at all cost, even at the expense of their identity. And predictably, when they start in with the name-calling, suspicious questioning and other fear-based tactics in attempt to persuade his re-entry into the fold, he smiles and stands his ground.
