As a man, I also have a question that is very valid and, in my judgement, deserves some consideration; even though the question bears all the resemblance of a retort. Why are those women asking "Where did all the good men go"? Are they all worthy of deserving a 'good man'? We could ask similar question about the "good women." But MGTOW man, as myself, is not going to ask the question because a) we already know the answer to the question and b) we don't give two hoots. We simply stopped caring. So those women out there who consider themselves to be "good women" (whatever that entails) need to ask themselves the question: Why men stopped caring? What are the reasons?
"Where did all the good men go?" (Where did all the good slaves go?)
That is a question that, from time to time, I hear traditionalist women asking. Since these women seem to be clueless of the whereabouts of all the 'good men,' then I'm going to take upon myself to provide some clue to that question, so here we go. Ma'am, many of these men died in the Titanic—just one example out of many—letting the women and children off first due to an old and outdated social construct called “Chivalry”; where men were—and still are—expected to fulfill a disposability role in every respect. “Chivalry” was predicated on the notion of the greater extended altruism for what was—long ago—viewed as the weaker sex. Since women have *fought* for “equality” and “equal” treatment, logically it follows then that “Chivalry” is a priori sexist to the state of gender affairs that feminists and their government lapdogs have forged since the ‘60s. So now you have to open your own doors, pay for your own meals (or pitch in half of the tab when we go out), pay your own rent or mortgage, and if you don’t know how to swim, you better learn now in some freaking case you might find yourself aboard of a sinking ship. If I, for example, happen to be on the same ship you're on and I see you struggling, I would try to help you if I can, but I am not going to give my life for you because I do not believe that your life is more precious and valuable than my own; and no, you are not the highest form of life in the universe that must be revered and treated in the upmost special way. Yes you are special—but no more than everyone else. If women want to be treated equal in every respect, then chivalry must die. There's only room for one or the other. You can't have both.As a man, I also have a question that is very valid and, in my judgement, deserves some consideration; even though the question bears all the resemblance of a retort.

Chivalry, however, has not completely died--I have to
admit. But if it has not completely died is because we still
have lapdogs of every stripe, manginas, white-nights, simpers
and men who are yet to understand that they have been used as nothing more than
domesticated doers, ATM machines and disposable appliances that can be tossed
to the side when women no longer have use for them. Those men are great in
number and they are getting in the way whenever those of us, who have taken the
red pill and now can clearly see the reality of our predicament, try to pull the plug. No one holds those men more strictly to live up to a presumed duty or obligation
to women than themselves. And even the so-called “women’s liberation” has done very little to free those men from
the social mechanism that trained them to become indenture to women. Moreover, they are even proud of their indenture.
Amongst those men, there are those who want to let it go but are having an
extremely difficult time to do that. Because although striving in vain and
valiant against unacceptable and unfair odds, and not even being equally
rewarded or reciprocated for their servitude, for those men there is nothing
more devastating than to have failed in living up to the demands and
expectations of western Chivalry.
The only value of their existence—they came to believe—is the impossible task
of making a woman happy by meeting all of her whims. Chivalry code has always been a huge burden on men. Much more
has—society at large—expected from men than from women; and whatever benefits
or reward men could draw from his servitude is, and it has always
been, illusory or superficial. Moreover, she does not feel she is under any
constrains to reciprocate him or even respect him. Except for a 10% or so of men most men--the ordinary men--are born to chain of servitude and disposability roles; then to add more insult to this predicament, they are told that they are part of the "privileged patriarchy."
Here is an
excerpt from an article titled “Chivalry is Dying but the Feminists Aren’t
Killing It” written on a website named Wayland’s Wall, by a guy who wholeheartedly subscribes to this
medieval construct. He writes:
“If it were up to me,
chivalry would be defined as the placing of one’s comfort, safety, and
happiness over one’s own.”
Why? What
exactly would compel me to believe that someone’s—who I don’t even
know—comfort, safety and happiness are far more important than my own? Am I
being selfish? Well not entirely. Despite of having what it may be a radical view about chivalry, I also have some altruistic belief of the stronger [helping] the weak, and the more resourceful helping the disadvantaged. However, that does not lead me to believe that other people's wellbeing are of higher value than my own. I have two young
daughters I do love dearly—for whom I would give my life if needed to, and
without the slightest blink, but only because they are my children and not because they are females. For all others I would do my best to help but only
to the extent that my personal safety and well being are not compromised. Here
is another excerpt from the same article:
“If you notice a woman
following closely behind you to a door, by all means, hold the door for her….If
she instructs you
not
to hold the door for her in the future because it enforces benevolent sexism,
don’t hold the door for her. That too, in my opinion, is chivalry. If the
situation is hazy, then ask what’s up, and that’s also chivalry.”
The way I
see it, this simper is telling us that in such a possible scenario, to stand
still until you manage somehow to figure out
what the woman’s whim is going to be then act
accordingly. Freaking pathetic!
There is
nothing honorable about a compulsive subservient behavior. Having good manners
and being respectful—not just to women but to everyone—has nothing to do with
the antiquated, gendered and knightly chivalrous medieval BS. And not expecting
to get laid just for a freaking drink you choose to buy to a woman is just plain common
sense and nothing more.
What is rather dichotomous, is that women who advocated for “women’s liberation” and got it, are now
vilifying the increasing number of men—as myself—who refuse to keep on playing
the subservient chivalrous role that was bequeathed to us. We consciously refuse to engage in toxic relationships that can be equated to playing Russian roulette—where men have
nothing to gain and everything to lose—including his sanity and even his life
and nobody, and I mean NOBODY, will give a damn.
So where did
all the ‘good men’ go? Nowhere! We have been right here. We simply have
undergone through a process of conscious transformation. We were left with no
other choice. Feminism told women that they can have it all, that they are free
to do whatever they wish and answer to no one. Get up and leave their family
behind to pursuit whatever whim their hearts desire regardless how many people
they leave behind hurting, Women were told that they can terminate a pregnancy
if they wanted to and not even to take into consideration how the father feels
about it. That is their choice and only theirs. He has no say in it and no
right whatever. Not only that, women were told that they have the exclusive
right of going ahead with the pregnancy if so they chose and force the men into
fatherhood against their will or ability to take on the responsibility of being
a father. It is quite puzzling to me that most women are unable to understand
the male value system in spite that they have greatly benefited from it, and
tend to see almost everything solipsistically.
The
erroneous assumption was that men—every one of them—would simply absorb all of
the changes, adjust to them, conform to them, roll over and pretend that
everything is fine and dandy. And yes, many men have done just that, but not
all of them. If you women change—and you have—it is impossible for many men to
remain the same. I want you all to know, and you better get used to it, that there
is a different breed of men who do not give a damn about you, your whims, your
bitching, vexing, whining, complaining, your moaning and your ever-changing
high expectations from us that is freaking difficult to keep up with. We will
not answer to your demands and we will not act according to your expectations.
If you are more than able and capable of subsidizing your own whims and desires,
then get rid of your bloated sense of entitlement and do not demand or expect
from us to do it for you. And if we
both agree to engage in a serious relationship, then you have to bring to the
relationship things of equal value
to whatever your expectations are from me to trade off. If all you bring is
your vagina and an unjustified sense of entitlement, then you need to turn
around and get lost. We are MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way)....the runaway slaves of this times. We have left the plantation for good!
We are
setting our own standard and definition of what “to be a man” and a “good
man” is—completely different and independent from women’s validation and self-serving
definition of what is.to be a man and that of their pathetic apologists, white-knights and male simpers who are always thirsty to
side with them. And your shaming tactics, vitriol and scorn will not work on us because we
recognized that your plethora of disparagement such as “you need to man up,” “you're not a real man, be a man,” etc, are
tactics to manipulate men into compliance. To coerce them to do things for your
own self-serving interest. We are awakening and becoming fully aware of your true nature--who you are, what you are, what you
aren’t, and what you want, and so our thoughts and actions will no longer centered around you. That does not mean we hate you. We can't hate you for being what you are, and have always been, anymore than we would hate a lion for being a lion and do what lions do. The high pedestal upon which you were placed has always been artificial and illusory, and as such, it has began to crumble from under your feet like a little house build from a deck of cards Our self-worth does not need your approval or validation; so any opinion you might have on the matter will be equated to a pile of dog feces. We have come to realize that the first obligation we have is to ourselves and to any other thing of our own choosing. Our self-sacrifice will have at its core our own [personal] vested interest. We pay no heed to what you [expect] from men, and we certainly don't give two hoots about your personal ideological investment, and your gynocentric idea of what to be a man should be like.

Chivalry is no longer breathing on its own—it
can’t—is connected to an artificial breathing machine and we are about to pull
the damn plug and let it die.
