I wrote this line several weeks ago in response to another of your illuminating articles…

‘The MGTOW movement didn’t develop in a vacuum did it?’

I just got this reply over the weekend!

"The MGTOW movement didn’t arise in a vacuum did it!" MGTOW is a good idea but they need to channel their energy (if they have any) into doing real world practical work for boys. Such as foster parenting, adopting, working with homeless and troubled youth and building intentional communities/communes. Or joining monasteries. As it is now all they do is sit online complaining all day instead of helping their own.

And the respondent is absolutely right!

Men can’t just sit around and whine about this bullshit. If they feel threatened by it get off your ass and do something about it. I get and have seen in operation the effects of ‘cancel culture’ or the weight negative social media can be brought to bear but retired or non-vulnerable men can have an influence and need to exercise that strength both with deeds and with actions. Start by exulting the virtues of manhood to your Grandchildren and reading stories of the old Heroes to them. Make them feel as special about themselves as they are to you!
