Men Are Going Galt

A prophetic book. (HT Life on Dover Beach)



This will be the introduction to a series of posts with the same above title.

I certain that by now you've heard of the term Men Going Their Own Way, MGTOW for short. One definition is that men have left the dating and marriage markets to pursue their own passions. I prefer the term inspired by the Ayn Rand novel, Atlas Shrugged, Going Galt. Going Galt could be defined as leaving the culture and civilization that produced it behind and not looking back.

The purpose here is to shed some light as to why the trend is occuring. In other words, What are men of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrouns going Galt on?

Some answers include:

Women (American in my case)
(Gender) Feminism
Dating & Relationships
Marriage
Fatherhood
Divorce
Government
Society at Large (Pop Culture)

Men in greater numbers are no longer participating in a society that rejects them, disrespects them, discriminates against them, and freely strips them of their time and labor. More on this in the coming days.
