“While scouring the world for a functioning male commune I found one guy who lives with two friends and thinks there’s more to it than that.”
But that “commune” is sort of what I first imagined when I heard about MGTOW. It turns out, though, that men aren’t “going their own way” they are “griping on internet forums”.

My cousin had the same experience. At first she talked about making that her career, but the negativity led her to quit.

I have not seen Chi-Raq… I should probably check it out at some point.
