Researchers have implicated MGTOW communities in online harassment of women. Far-right commentator and polemicist Milo Yiannopoulos is credited with helping to popularize MGTOW with a 2014 Breitbart article titled "The Sexodus", in which he described men who were eschewing women, love, sex, and marriage because of feminism. MGTOW and the alt-right overlap both in membership and in ideology both believe that feminism has destroyed Western society. MGTOW and other manosphere communities overlap with various white supremacist, authoritarian, and populist movements worldwide, such as the alt-right which came to prominence around 2015. Following Reddit's 2017 ban of a large incel subreddit, r/MGTOW was briefly the largest and most active manosphere forum on the site. Online MGTOW forums have included the subreddit r/MGTOW, created in 2011, smaller auxiliary subreddits, and the MGTOW Forum, an independent website that emerged in 2014. There is a divide between early and contemporary members of MGTOW, with some earlier members expressing derision for the present-day MGTOW community. Earlier members of MGTOW were largely libertarian. A blog called No Ma'am was one of the first sites dedicated to the ideology, publishing a "MGTOW Manifesto" in 2001. While it is not clear where the MGTOW ideology originated, it is believed to have emerged in the early 2000s. The Southern Poverty Law Center categorizes MGTOW as a part of the male supremacist ideology. Like other manosphere communities, MGTOW overlaps with the alt-right and white supremacist movements, and it has been implicated in online harassment of women. The community is a part of the manosphere, a collection of anti-feminist websites and online communities that also includes the men's rights movement, incels, and pickup artists. Men Going Their Own Way ( MGTOW / ˈ m ɪ ɡ t aʊ/) is an anti-feminist, misogynistic, mostly- online community advocating for men to separate themselves from women and from a society which they believe has been corrupted by feminism.
