Discussion Regarding Recent Edit Requests
It is stated in the faq's that no reliable sources contrary to the "misogynist" label have been provided. If I can provide some, ''' would anyone be willing to help me cite them? '''

I would also like to call attention to WP:IMPARTIAL - Wikipedia shouldn't be engaging in this debate, but simply documenting it. Our reputation as a non-partisan purveyor of information is at stake. Sober Reasoning (talk) 14:27, 9 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I'd be willing to help add content cited to such sources. Please read WP:RS for guidance on what counts as a reliable source. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:46, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Understood. I'm concerned however, that the consensus among scholars and big media may be skewed by a concerted partisan effort among academia and media. Is there a Wikipedia policy dealing with such scenarios? Sober Reasoning (talk) 15:05, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So you're claiming there's a conspiracy, of which only you have true knowledge?  Acroterion   (talk)   15:36, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not claiming any conspiracies. I'm voicing a concern for the sake of discussion, that most articles from large media and academia on this topic may be written from a predominantly liberal and pro-feminist viewpoint and that conservative views may be underrepresented. I don't believe this is a conspiracy theory; I think it can be demonstrated through a review of the various literatures and could warrant further investigation. I'm not sure how one would go about demonstrating it for encyclopedic purposes, or how Wikipedia would handle such a situation. I hope that clarifies my previous comment. Sober Reasoning (talk) 16:02, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia handles it like anything else where there are fringe views that have no support in mainstream publications. See WP:FRINGE. Wikipedia reflects the consensus of reliable academic and journalistic sources. They may not agree with your wishes or perceptions. That's not Wikipedia's concern, unless and until the consensus of reliable sources changes.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:08, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * We come into the issue of Wikipedia's non-partisanship at that point. Even if the sources are considered reliable, and aren't required to be non-biased, how do we claim non-partisanship of our assertions if the majority of reliable sources are partisan? WP:IMPARTIAL Sober Reasoning (talk) 16:16, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand WP:NPOV. Wikipedia reflects the consensus of reliable sources, and give fringe views due weight according to their prominence and coverage in mainstream sources. It does not demand false balance equivocation or advocacy of fringe views -- =rather the opposite. In point of fact, NPOV requires that WP plainly state the consensus of reliable sources, and, if appropriate to note prominent dissenting views. In this case, there are no prominent dissenting voices that anyone has set forth.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:37, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand the policy of giving various views due weight, and that no prominent dissenting voices have been set forth. I'm not suggesting that we jump on changing the article itself. My goal was to open a discussion about those sources and potential partisanship that may be there, and how we may handle prominent dissenting opinions if some can be brought forth. I'm also concerned about the use of Mark Zuckerberg as a reliable source in citation 2 of the article. Besides his wealth and fame, what lends him credence as an authority on this topic? Sober Reasoning (talk) 16:56, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So, you saw "Zuckerberg" in the citation and knee-jerked yourself into thinking this article was quoting the CEO of Facebook? Why don't you re-read that citation and try again... Zaathras (talk) 17:04, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Mark Zuckerberg probably isn't, But Donna Zuckerberg, who is who's cited, appears to have written on the subject. Perhaps you should read the article and the sources (of which there are a mujltitude) more closely?  Acroterion   (talk)   17:09, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, I see now it was Donna Zuckerberg. Thank you for the clarification on that item. Sober Reasoning (talk) 17:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it can be demonstrated — The best way to write Wikipedia articles is to review the sourcing available, and then write articles based on the viewpoints expressed therein. Choosing a position, then searching far and wide for sources that might support it that you think may be out there, is a good way to end up with an unbalanced article. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 17:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sympathetic to the desire for WP:IMPARTIAL language, and I do my best to respect this in my own edits. But people raising this issue do themselves no favors when they start alleging a "partisan" conspiracy among reliable sources. For one thing, reliable sources are not required to be unbiased. Virtually all RSes are unanimous in that MGTOW promotes misogyny. Even if saying as much in WP:WIKIVOICE is less than ideal, all previous attempts to change this read more as efforts to whitewash the topic, which is worse than some opinionated language IMO. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 04:41, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What makes a reliable source then? To my knowledge, a reliable source is an impartial, non-biased origin of verifiable and truthful information.
 * If a source is biased and partisan, it is then quite likely that the information presented will be not as accurate and skewed towards their respective partisan leanings. 24.239.68.230 (talk) 14:22, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

 * No "reliable sources to the contrary" have been provided because it's imoossible to prove that something never happened. No reliable sources have been presented that the easter bunny doesnt exist, either. Just because no evidence has been shown does not mean that there actually IS any evidence to show. Can you show any evidence that you are not a murderer?
 * The utterly biased and one-sided language in this entry is absurd and completely breaks the neutrality rule. Just because someonevfjnds tge tooic objectionable is ni excuse to engage in a political screed against a group.  State the facts only and let the reader decide.  Whoever wrote this entry should be ashamed of themselves for their lack if dispassion, and orevented from more editing due to their clearly pushing a highly biased personal political agenda.

 * Our "neutrality rule" is a bit poorly named because it's not really about "neutrality" writ large, but rather about accurately reflecting the sources. That can sometimes be unsatisfying, I understand.  The best way to achieve change is to suggest some discrete improvements to the article, backed by reliable sources.  Trying to adjust an article in its entirety is, essentially, never successful.  Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 02:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No "reliable sources to the contrary" means no sources describing MGTOW as than a misogynistic group, and plenty of sources saying it is. Neutral point of view on Wikipedia means summarizing the views of reliable sources fairly and proportionately. Not presenting a false balance as if all points of view are equally valid. See also Argument from ignorance. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 08:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Misogynistic?
It is imperative that a Wikipedia article provide accurate, unbiased information. You can not characterize MGTOW as "misogynistic" as the premise does not imply that it is. Members of the community itself may be pushing misogynistic ideas, but the premise of the movement - which is what the introduction should describe - should not be described as "misogynistic".

 * There are already two sections on this page discussing the same issue. Please read them and join the discussion if necessary. Black Kite (talk) 10:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * And an FAQ at the top of the page.  Acroterion   (talk)   11:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Why is that you are the main person speaking for the entirety of the wikipedia community in this case? Your responses by far outnumber those of others and you seem to hold a position of power (or at the very least, some authority) on this site, and so one would think you should be exceptionally more willing to self-evaluate your own approach to the site and how you wield its arguments in debate.  The simple fact that stands behind these accusations is that there is simply no discussion that this article is severely biased. The first several paragraphs are little more than recasts of the exact same inaccurate statements.  Interestingly, not one single comment on this Discussion page that disagrees with your points and the impartiality of the article can even remotely be described as misogynistic or promoting violence; an odd fact for a leaderless group of people whose supposed most salient characteristics are precisely those two according to this article, and by extension, your comments here.  You are abusing the intellectual basis for this site with your dogged defense of these (quite honestly) outrageous and silly claims about this movement.  After spending weeks looking over a great deal of the media created by its members, I was actually highly impressed at the complete *lack* of these very qualities, which is the main reason I had chosen to learn more about it, as I don't have much interest or patience in either misogyny or violence.  Coming here, I expected to see some interesting comparison of perspectives and instead find a page blatantly and disappointingly dishonest -- or, at best, skewed -- supported by articles many of which are quite simply inaccurate (to use a kind term).  In the end, it of course doesn't matter what wikipedia ultimately says... but you do the site an enormous disservice with your bias and the bias you defend in the article itself, which I for one find enormously disappointing. Saturn comes back around (talk) 01:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Acroterion just has more patience for responding to repetitive comments than most. But rest assured, the Wikipedia community fully supports following the cited sources on this. You (and the various newcomers commenting here) won't get far by simply claiming that those sources are 'inaccurate'. MrOllie (talk) 01:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * PS: You might have a read of WP:YESBIAS. MrOllie (talk) 01:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Newcomer? Really?  Saturn comes back around (talk) 01:40, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, look further up the page and in the archives, you'll find quite a lot of them making the same sort of mistaken argument over and over. MrOllie (talk) 01:41, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "rest assured, the community fully supports".
 * What more need be said. That snippet captures your position more succinctly than anything I could come up with.  And on that note, I leave you to it. Saturn comes back around (talk) 01:41, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how six comments make me "the main person speaking for the entirely of the Wikipedia community," especially since two of them are pointing to the FAQ (which was written by others as a consensus of the community), but suit yourself. Wikipedia follows the sources, not the analysis of individual editors or the motivations of those editors as reported by themselves. Since you seem to be veering into undue personalization of comments, I've placed a contentious topics notice on your talkpage, so that you understand that the community has designated topics like this to be under particular scrutiny for editor conduct due to past disruptive behavior where gender-related issues are concerned. You will also see this in the notices at the top of this page  Acroterion   (talk)   01:43, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

The topic here needs a reboot and cleanup due to its repeated reliance on sources which are using association fallacy to draw broadly misleading conclusions about it.

Group A makes a particular claim. Group B, which is currently viewed negatively by some, makes the same claim as Group A. Therefore, Group A is viewed as associated with Group B, and is now also viewed negatively.

Everyone can share some traits with multiple groups and one or more of those groups are unwelcome, negatively viewed or worse. From that, you could by association fallacy claim that any person is in the unwelcome group. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:ED0B:8C9D:D3A4:96E8 (talk) 15:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I would respectfully remind that while fallacies are, well, fallacious, that does not mean their conclusions are therefore incorrect. On a more practical level, I am not quite sure what response you would like to this--for someone to rewrite the entire article from scratch?  I suppose that's possible, but I find it unlikely.  You could certainly draft a proposed replacement and submit it for consideration.  But usually the best way forward is to suggest incremental changes supported by reliable sources.  As they say (somewhat gruesomely), the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.  Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The article relies on multiple mainstream scholarly sources, which tend to support one another's conclusions about the nature of MGTOW. Wikipedia articles are based on such published, reliable sources, not armchair philosophizing. See the above. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Particularly by fallaciously using repeated “overlapping membership” terms used to equate MGTOW with unfavorable groups when MGTOW has no stated platform, charter, or organization statement the ideology of said unfavorable groups.
 * Sources cited need to be reviewed for backing data for grouping MGTOW with unfavorable groups. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:ED0B:8C9D:D3A4:96E8 (talk) 21:21, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Including a conclusion based on a fallacy makes that conclusion unproven by that and disqualifies the RS from being the basis for including the conclusion.
 * Another RS would need to be used to include the conclusion. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:ED0B:8C9D:D3A4:96E8 (talk) 21:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You could make an argument that some of those sources are unreliable. You can't make an argument that Wikipedia shouldn't follow WP:RS, according to WP:SNOW. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * For example, reference 4 Chemely 2019 has a statement with no backing credible RS or data to group MGTOW with other groups. The statement is an unsupported opinion and not a RS.
 * the reference 4 Chemely 2019 should be removed.
 * Page X from the cited work has
 * “Anti-feminism is a global phenomenon: traditional, cheap, easily under- stood and networked. In recent years, media coverage of anti-feminist movements has shed light on specific communities, hashtags and activities such as men’s rights activists, incels, “pick-up artists”, “Meninism”, “the Red Pill”, #YourSlipisShowing, #gamergate and “Men Going Their Own Way” (MGTOW), all of which reflect deeply misogynistic, anti-feminist philosophies. These overlap with global white supremacist, authoritarian and populist movements involved, it is increasingly evident, in transna- tionally destabilizing online propaganda campaigns. These communities, driven by aggrieved entitlement and the powerlessness that some men feel despite institutional male dominance, employ a wide range of strategies to harass and silence women online as they cross borders, language and nationality. A woman politician or writer in Pakistan, for example, might find that she is being harassed not by anti-feminists in her own locality but, for example, by those in a Midwest US state. A teenage girl in Ireland might be virally publically shamed by anti-feminist mobs whose members can come from virtually anywhere in the world.”
 * No RS cited, no data and unsubstantiated. The citation to this should be removed.
 * it offers no proof via RS or data that MGTOW is associated with the other groups. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:ED0B:8C9D:D3A4:96E8 (talk) 21:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If the issue is overlapping membership with white supremacist, authoritarian and populist movements, is not the only source; see also :  The supporting footnote is not viewable online, but anyone wanting to check Zuckerberg's work can probably find a physical copy through their library.MGTOW doesn't need a platform, charter, or organization statement for scholars to analyze the movement's ideology by simply . There's a whole  section in the article devoted to this. Pointing out that MGTOW and the alt-right share certain beliefs or even certain members is not an association fallacy; it's just an association. Despite multiple attempts over the last few years to remove this association, it's backed up by academically vetted sources, which are generally the most reliable. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 08:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The fact that there are overlaps, even enormous ones, between alt-right groups and MGTOW by no means is the equivalent of saying that the groups have begun to merge. That is absurd.  One might as well claim that oxygen-breathers and the alt-right movement have begun to merge.  There is absolutely no difference between the two scenarios, despite the reductio ad absurdum nature of the latter.  And unless the followers of a given group say certain things *specifically in relation* to that group, their online or any other statements *cannot* be said to characterize the group for precisely the same reason.  If, say, a group of people espousing a return to barbarism coupled with cannibalism happen to overwhelmingly prefer wearing, say, Birkenstocks over Doc Martens, there is no logically sound way to reach the conclusion that Birkenstocks promote or merge with that groups ideology.  Sorry for a second reductio, but... it makes the point. Saturn comes back around (talk) 01:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You can call Academic sources 'absurd' if you like, but Wikipedia is still going to follow them rather than your opinions on the subject. That is what Wikipedia's content policies require. MrOllie (talk) 01:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't call the sources absurd. Please read more carefully, or, failing that, don't reply. Thank you.  Saturn comes back around (talk) 01:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * (...indeed, one could even easily argue that even IF said individuals made statement in relation to belonging to some group it does not in any way follow that these are the beliefs of said group, but perhaps the evidence of large-scale misunderstanding/misrepresentation of same, but... for the sake of sanity and brevity, we can completely omit this further line of reasoning, at least here.) Saturn comes back around (talk) 01:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Once again, articles are based on published, reliable sources, not armchair philosophizing. Whether any Wikipedia user finds the sources logically sound is irrelevant. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 06:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Reread the quote and comment on citation 4b, not the Zuckerberg one. The other one should be removed from citation 4 because it has no backing data and no cited
 * reference 4 Chemely 2019 should be removed. The Zuckerberg part of reference 4 is not Removed. 2600:1700:D591:5F10:51D3:8BBC:991B:A185 (talk) 02:44, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We don't require sources to show their work or provide 'backing data'. They just have to meet WP:RS. MrOllie (talk) 02:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 May 2024
"Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW /ˈmɪɡtaʊ/) is an anti-feminist, misogynistic, mostly online community advocating for men to separate themselves from women and society, which they believe has been corrupted by feminism.[2] "

Right at the start of describing of MGTOW is a false information MGTOW is NOT a Misogynystic organization is NOT that men that support MGTOW is misogynystic that is just like the Feminism right?! please make sure that you input the correct information about this movement BCS this movement is NOT about hating woman!

Request
I understand reliable sources have described the overlap between members of MGTOW and white supremacist and/or alt-right movements. The article also asserts that most members (I don't know if there is a membership criterion as it's mostly just ideology) are white Europeans/Americans. We don't have any metrics to measure it, and this might have been the case when it started, but it's certainly a global phenomenon now. The article is trying to limit it to right-wing European whites, which is extremely disrespectful to the men worldwide who subscribe to this ideology. I won't argue about the misogynistic tag or the relation with white supremacists or even solely with the right wing, as RS reigns supreme above any logic. My only request is to omit the information about the overlap as it's redundant and disrespectful. I mean, some normal ascetics are also MGTOW (as their reason is not religious but just because they are simply fed up with relationships).Cmon guys! Jaybjayb (talk) 10:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I expect most people are open to changing the article to basically anything, but as you indicate, this needs to be guided by sources. Wikipedia is really a bottom feeder in the informational landscape. We only get to use what filters down from the big fish.  G M G  talk  10:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @GreenMeansGo. It's just very odd to me that "non-heterosexual" men are allowed to go their own way without being judged. But heterosexual men can't go their own way without being labeled a bunch of things, most of it being extremely derogatory. And poor left-leaning men are not even allowed to think about going their own way, otherwise they'll be called far-right and placed in the same league as white supremacists? Haha. Good tactic, I would say, to stop them (at least). Anyway, I understand your point. And this is seriously not some political ideology advocating for men's supremacy and oppression of women that I'll fight to change its article content, otherwise my MGTOW propagating political party will lose. It's just a life choice advocating for men's mental health and well-being. Those who subscribe to it know better. My point was either to expand on it or remove redundant material which is not indicative of the entire reality. If it cannot be done (as it's "sourced"), then so be it. But usually, we do remove redundant stuff even when it's sourced.
 * [Thanks for your reply.] Jaybjayb (talk) 17:28, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If you think MGTOW is synonymous with men who've chosen to remain unpartnered, I'd recommend you read the article. You claim that "this is seriously not some political ideology advocating for men's supremacy and oppression of women", but that's precisely how sources describe it. Men who choose not to date women are not referred to as MGTOW, because that's a very separate thing from the subculture — much how people who are not having sex despite perhaps wanting to are not described as incels. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @GorillaWarfare My previous reply where i said i am not gonna argue was deleted. So i am replying again. I know that's how sources describe it. And yes, incels can also be considered MGTOW(not by choice) if they get fed up by their lack of suceess in dating market. But obviously, not all MGTOW are incels. Men who choose not to date women or romantically get involved with them, even after having a significant sexual desire for women, fit the very definition of MGTOW. I don't think there is any condition that you can't talk to women, be proud of them, or support them. Abstaining from sex is also not a condition (e.g., masturbation, sex doll, etc.), but many do become ascetics. Surely, there amight be some extremists who would like to see a woman-free and men only world and call themselves part of MGTOW. But we have extremists everywhere in every ideology possible.  I understand it's a very broad term, and RS is not supporting my view that much and that was the whole issue. I just wanted to discuss what everybody here thinks. You have a good day! Jaybjayb (talk) 02:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed that response. Taking notice of their gender in that manner was frankly inappropriate, and you are being far too conscious of the gender of those with whom you engage. As noted below, this isn’t a forum.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:58, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * HI @Acroterion I understand why you did what you did. But i only called the above user "maam" because the user mentuoned the pronouns (she/her) in the username.If she would not have mentioned it, i would not have assumed anything myself even after looking at the users photo. I understand the world i live in. But i alologise if it was inappropriate. Jaybjayb (talk) 03:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * In colloquial English it has the opposite effect from what you may have intended, and comes across as flippant and dismissive on account of that emphasis on “ma’am.”  Acroterion   (talk)   04:31, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Well, mgtow IS synonymous with men who chose to remain unpartnered. This Wikipedia article is not true . That is a simple fact. Wikipedia tries to redefine what some terms mean as position of authority. That is not good. 145.255.153.31 (talk) 09:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I propose we set aside this article without placing blame on other editors. However, I highly recommend that an experienced and interested editor create a page on a subculture known as 'Passport Bros.' To my knowledge, there is no existing entry on Wikipedia. This subculture is somewhat akin to MGTOW, though it is not identical, and it specifically focuses on Western women. I believe it could be appropriately included within the Manosphere. Jaybjayb (talk) 15:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * JUaybjayb -- that's a reasonable request, but in order for an article to be created, you would have to demonstrate that there is adequate coverage in reliable sources. If you could present some references for this subculture, then it would be a good start.  Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 17:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * One can uncover a wealth of information simply by searching the term on Google. However, I am uncertain which sources would be deemed reliable and undisputed here. Regardless, it was merely a suggestion for anyone who might be interested. Personally, I am not particularly concerned, but I found it surprising that no articles on the topic exist. Jaybjayb (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I realize you don't mean it this way, and there's nothing wrong with it per se, but as a matter of Wikipedia etiquette, saying "there should be an article on this, google it" is a bit like saying "do my work for me." It is both the beauty and awfulness of Wikipedia that volunteer editors have to do everything around here!  Have a nice day. Dumuzid (talk) 17:40, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

The notion that any overlap between and "white supremacist and/or alt-right movements" is  is frankly disrespectful to white Europeans and Americans. However, what you or I think is disrespectful is irrelevant; Wikipedia does not censor views that some people happen to find offensive. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 02:41, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Umm. I never suggested that. Ofcourse there is a overlap in what you mentioned. Ofcourse any african, arab, indian, chinese etc wont be welcome in these groups. I said overlap between mgtow and white supremacists group is redundant because subscribing to mgtow ideology dosent need you to be melanin less and trump supporter. But i understand your point. And what we feel is irrelevant. RS reigns supreme. And i agree Jaybjayb (talk) 03:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps you mean "irrelevant", not "redundant"? In any case, it's relevant because published RSes have noted it as relevant. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 04:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, my mistake. Sorry, English is not my first language. I try to improve my vocabulary by incorporating new words, but I was wrong to use this term here. I see redundant means aomething is unnecessary because its repetitive. You are correct. What I meant was irrelevant. Thanks. Jaybjayb (talk) 04:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Just noting, let's have some good faith in people who aren't native English speakers. English Wikipedia means "people who speak English" and we don't need to get too sidetracked in perceived slights that could just as well be explained away by something like regional differences.
