Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

No. I am kidding.
Its 'Men Going Their Own Way' a movement which ostensibly supports Mens Rights, but in actualiy is generally populated by mysoginistic views that, originally, over a decade ago, were rather tame compared to what the movement has evolves into now.
The original idea, where the name comes from is basically that women are so easily able to screw over men in various ways that these men who founded it, basically all after having been accused of rape, domestic abuse or lost everything in a divorce, was that these guys were just gonna avoid women from now on, go their own way.
Time went on and their rhetoric escalated and it became evident that many of these original guys were real pieces of shit and were actually guilty of all the above things they said they'd been falsely accused of.
It kind of provided some of the kindling that led to the explosion of incels and the general absurdly misogynistic views that many video gamers and right ring younger commentators are known for now.
At this point the only position theyve ever espoused with any kind of seeming legitimacy to me at least is that there does /seem/ to be a substantial imbalance in custody cases in in divorces having the kids handed over to women instead of men.
But I am far from an expert on this, and its entirely possible my views there are based on basically 15 year old data and knowledge of relevant laws and cases, so...
???
All that being said, OP is apparently referencing 'peaceful MGTOW' which I assume to be a splinter group of some kind? No clue.
Thanks for the info. Splinter group or not, identifying with that acronym says to me that none of the espoused beliefs are dealbreakers. So to paraphrase my earlier post: Gross.
