MGTOW: 20th Century Men Going Their Own Way


MGTOW (standing for Men Going Their Own Way) developed out of a Men’s Rights forum called “XYZ” that appeared 2000-2003. The name and logo (based on the traffic sign indicating “off-ramp ahead”) were created in 2003 by two members of that forum.

MGTOW “has no leader, no official message board, no website (although many have websites and forums that support it's ideals), there is no ‘there, there’ to organize, attack, censor, eliminate or shame into submission.  It is everywhere and nowhere.”
