      …the epidemic of loneliness *is* a problem. These are people I'd be concerned about being at risk for suicide.

      If MGTOW also foments misogyny (I'm not saying it does—that's one of the aspects I'm confused about), then we have ↑ risk for violence.

      I've seen some MGTOW posts saying the community is redefining what it means to be a man. If that includes ↓ toxic masculinity, good! But…

      … I sort of get the sense that's *not* the case? Anyway, as I said, confused. Conflicted. Any of you have insight or clarity to offer?

      Yeah. MGTOW is an offshoot of the men's rights movement, which thinks guys like Anders Breivik have some good ideas.http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/01/warren-farrell-mens-rights-movement-feminism-misogyny-trolls/ …

      There's also a lot of overlap with pickup artists, which is part of the reason for the "can't get laid" perception.

      A lot of MGTOW self-identify as "incel" (involuntarily celibate), which is the other piece of the "can't get laid" stuff.
