I think it depends on their motive

If its out of codependence then no

If its a personal choice where they define that as MGTOW. Then it is an act of MGTOW to them

not personally

I see it as a shaming tactic

Women by default will shame men because they cannot see outside the self

Sounds like a typical American definition... It's mgtow if you want it to be... Regardless of your actions?

They need the co-dependence. It's manufactured power

As for gay cohabitation, it is an alternative. Same could be said for trans too

But it also depends on legal definitions

Meh

@Artemis There is yet no definition of MGTOW as it is a loose Movement. The problem with cohabitation only comes to play if you find yourself restricted in fulfilling your needs within your living space. E.g. women decorating the shit out of your apartment. There is margin between these things. Roommates with shared living spaces for example.

Same as social norms in particular contexts

But MGTOW overall is going your own way

in the practical sense, its up to the individual to realise that

Stoicism and stoic principles and the way of the warrior do have some core tenets of mgtow

Well her guilt is also societal guilt too

I don't see women as separate from the collective identity

but the programming is designed to create guilt

a way to measure it would be based off the objectives

law - politics - culture - norms

yes

monk mode I'd say yes

same as purple pill ghosting

But if you are actually completely open and honest to the woman, why shouldn't it work? @Mysteriedingens

@Denno are you a woman?

im trans

Male to female?

yes

@Artemis I dont say that cohabitation with women doesn't work if you keep your boundaries. I just assume it would not be an option for longterm (as relationships in general). Enjoy being with her as long as she is nice, after that throw her out and look the fuck out for keeping your ressources.

but I will keep my male bits

Women tend to rewrite history if they feel not served as they desire

they are a wild card

can't be quantified as much

only observed

@Denno if you don't mind me asking, why are you keeping them?

my sovereignty

and for medical reasons

@Artemis There are these slow indicators showing when a woman tries to take over your living space. Leaving toothbrush, Makeup, clothing. keep it restricted only let her take things to your place to certain extend. Dont let her make it look like she lives there. As long as this is the case, nobody can take away your things

@Mysteriedingens Seems like a very prosaic way to look at it. Du scheinst den Teufel an die Wand zu malen.
