Men Opt Out, Media Melts Down - A Response to Straits Times’ MGTOW Smear

[MyMother]

The recent Straits Times article attempting to "decipher" the language of the manosphere is yet another example of mainstream media’s desperate attempt to discredit men who are rejecting a rigged system. It predictably follows the same tired formula of cherry-picking the most extreme voices, misrepresenting the movement, and painting men who speak up as dangerous, bitter, or misguided.

Rather than engaging with men’s actual concerns, the article reduces the entire spectrum of male self-awareness to a handful of online labels, such as“Red Pill," "Black Pill," "MGTOW," etc. framing them as extremist ideologies rather than survival strategies in an openly hostile environment.

Zero acknowledgment of why these movements exist in the first place.

Men are checking out for good reasons.

• Biased divorce courts that strip men of their assets, children, and dignity.
• False tape allegations that require no evidence to ruin a man’s life.
• A dating market that punishes men while rewarding the worst women behaviors.
• Workplace policies that elevate quotas over competence, leaving men undervalued.
• A society that celebrates female independence but condemns male autonomy.

Rather than addressing these glaring realities, the media resorts to fear-mongering, suggesting that men who disengage from this broken system are somehow dangerous.

Dangerous to who? Certainly not to themselves.

The article subtly pushes the idea that men who reject modern dating, marriage, or societal expectations are part of some radical ideology. Yet, when women pursue independence, they are "empowered." When men do the same, they are "hateful, weak, or incel."

This double standard is precisely why so many men are walking away. There is no incentive to participate in a system that only sees them as disposable utilities.

MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) is not a hate movement. It is a rational response to a world that increasingly views men as second-class citizens, useful when needed, discarded when not. It is men reclaiming their autonomy in the same way women were encouraged to do decades ago. The system does not benefit when men opt out, so it resorts to shaming and demonization.

The biggest fear of the establishment is not men who lash out, but men who quietly exit.

The real threat is men who refuse to be exploited.

The men who refuse to marry into a system designed to strip them of everything.

The men who refuse to engage in a workplace that does not value them.

The men who refuse to be shamed into sacrificing their well-being for people who hate them.

And that’s exactly what’s happening. Birth rates are plummeting. Marriage rates are collapsing. The number of men rejecting traditional roles is at an all-time high. These aren’t failures; these are the logical outcomes of a society that has failed men and refuses to correct course.

Instead of attacking men for walking away, perhaps society should take a hard look at why they’re leaving in the first place. Until the mainstream media is ready to have an honest conversation, these hit pieces will only serve to accelerate the exodus.

Men are not your scapegoats, they see through the propaganda, and they are no longer playing your game.

You see what the propaganda media is doing when the PAP regime wants more babies?

They are not journalists. They are paid dogs and parrots, who put out whatever their masters want.

PAP is panicking over collapsing birth rates, dwindling marriage numbers, and an economic future that looks increasingly bleak. Yet, propaganda against men who have chosen to opt out of a system that works against them is actively being pushed. The irony is as glaring as it is ridiculous.

On one hand, men are told that their value is conditional. They are demonized for seeking fairness in relationships, employment, and legal systems. They are labeled "incels" if they struggle in the dating market, "misogynists" if they criticize double standards, and "toxic" if they uphold traditional masculinity.

On the other hand, the same system that belittles and dismisses men is now desperate for them to step back into their traditional provider roles, to marry, to start families, to financially support a system that has done nothing but erode their rights. The government needs new taxpayers, new workers, and new consumers, yet they continue to push a narrative that actively drives men away from participating.

Instead of fixing the system, Straits Times chose to blame men for refusing to play a game rigged against them. The contradiction is obvious: you cannot demonize men while simultaneously expecting them to rescue your collapsing society.

Straits Times' recent obsession with the so-called "manosphere" is nothing more than a desperate attempt to guilt-trip men back into compliance. Every hit piece, every accusation, every attempt to pathologize male autonomy is proof that men walking away is working.

Governments and media have two choices:

Continue demonizing men while watching marriage, birth rates, and workforce participation drop further.

Acknowledge the legitimate grievances of men and create a society worth investing in.

So far, they’ve chosen the first option, believing that gaslighting, shaming and propaganda will somehow reverse the trend. It won’t. Men are done. The system is reaping what it has sown, and no amount of media gaslighting will change that.

They are not journalists. They are paid dogs and parrots, who put out whatever their masters want.

In his memoir OB Markers: My Straits Times Story, former editor-in-chief Cheong Yip Seng, alleged how ST had a govt-appointed monitor at the newspaper, "someone who could watch to see if indeed the newsroom was beyond control", and that disapproval of the monitor could cost a journalist or editor from being promoted or to losing his job. Cheong identified the first monitor as S. R. Nathan, Director of the Mindef's Security and Intelligence Division and later president of S'pore. Editors were bound by "out of bounds markers" to denote what topics are permissible for public discussion, such as anything that may produce ill-will and hostility between different races and religious groups. Fake news was indeed started by the SG govt.

This is a complex issue but ultimately, men & women are as different as chalk & cheese in every way. Men are born with inherent wandering eyes, to appreciate beauty & the challenge to conquer, where else women seeks security as they know their beauty will fade away & thus are possessive when they catch their men, for old age security & kids future.

Such has been this way since civilization began, with men being the hunters, farmers, family providers & women the chief of staff of households, PARTNERS in the journey of life. It is in our GENES.

The insignificant nobody me has no solution to resolve such issues on the divorces & birth rates of Singapore, but do allow me to share an experience on marital bliss, that may be morally wrong if one is riding on a high horse, but pragmatic on issues of realities, since civilization began....

.........................................

I met a biz associate. He was a successful entrepreneur, started out as a mere salesman, got promoted, married young thru an arranged marriage, & with savings he had, he started a promising trading firm thru trade with India. However, he was a heavy drinker, like most Indians, & almost lost his biz if NOT for his partner - his devoted wife.

She was demure but enough was enough when she saw how his promising partner was regressing - drunken bouts that caused hangovers in the morning, caring for nothing except to sleep off his hangovers, not for the family, wife & kids. She started attempting to change his ways thru various means - hard & soft approaches to show him realities.

Eventually, he woke up & realized the damage he had done to all. He started to go sober, at his wife's constant nagging, & remarkably, saw his biz & family life flourished, even up to International level as his firm managed to reach out to the rest of the World for trade, from America to Zimbabwe.

However, a leopard does not changes its spot. He still loves to drink, but in a more controlled & measured manner, & had the wandering eye like all male mortals. He honored his wife & owes a debt of honor to his wife for his successes, that if not, he would had been like many drunks sleeping on streets in the middle of night, awaiting the end of his life, alone, with no family or even life.....

He made it a point to NEVER touch any of his female staff, beguiling as some of them may be to seek financial & marriage security from him. He would never go clubbing where single ladies preside. The only place that he would go to QUIETY, without his wife or family knowing, are high end KTVS where it is ALL TRANSACTIONAL, & also, ALWAYS to never get the same lady TWICE, no matter how beguiling they can be. It was only about money, & he had deep pockets.

At the end of the sessions, he would figuratively wipe his mouth clean, head back home to make love to his wife, who became fat & ugly as age caught up to them both. It was no longer physical attraction, but deep down love & honor that had grown over years to beyond the physical....the care & concern for each other, watching & providing for their progenies to grow up strong, healthy & intelligent....


Much of current divorces are often over money or infidelity. Perhaps we need to look deeper into our genes for answers? I may be wrong, but I still support AWARE org, as I had seen how callous some men are in their treatment of women.

Ultimately, AWARE org is NOT the Judicial Branch of our govt. Only our wise Judges can decide, as well as legislators whom make laws to discuss & debate before passing laws, as careful considerations are needed. It would be senseless pass a law to solve one problem but will only eventually lead to a bigger problem later on....

This homo Ivan Heng married his old Caucasian lover overseas. That gay once lectured a mutual friend, telling him that he had to be "educated" that homosexuality is perfectly normal. In fact, Homo Heng needs to be educated that there is nothing normal about 2 men shoving their dicks into each other's butts. It is almost as unnatural as a farmer having sexual intercourse with his sheep.

 

[Eisenhut]

Is homosexuality a gene mutation? Or a willful rebellion against Jehovah's creation?

I encourage every teenage male Sinkie to get a vasectomy before enlisting for NS.

Just to add to my previous post:-

That Singaporean born & breed of Northern Indian descent biz acquaintance of mine revealed to me that once when her devoted & wise wife was heavily pregnant & she understand her partner's sexual drive - her husband, told him to go Geylang instead to assuage his sexual needs, but to never ever touch any single lady as there would be CONSEQUENCES detrimental to FAMILY life. As a colloquial saying goes - can eat but DON'T tapau (bring home)

He never did, as he was fully sobered at that time, but TOOK it as a blank cheque from her, thus in his later years, he would indulged in sexual activities DISCREETLY & TRANSACTIONALLY, for a genetic sexual urge in males Worldwide, a figurative itch to be scratched, a high to be obtained legally, from a willing buyer to a willing seller.....NOT for love as he had already transcended love over years with his partner, but only a sense of comfort & companionship from a beautiful & desirable lady whom equally has no love but only a paid service for her efforts of the time duration, which would be & must be forgotten by both when the night ends....a moment of fantasy which is never & would never be a reality...

Prostitution is one of the oldest trade in Civilization. In ancient times when civilization began, even within mainstream religions, our ancestors understood sexual needs of hunters & gatherers of food to build up Civilization. There were ANNUAL festivals of fertilities, whereby nubile lady priestesses within temples were offered up to deserving males chosen to fertilize them to spread Humankind....

I encourage non Muslim men to MGTOW.

You can get all your needs fulfilled without marriage. Make sure you're infertile.
System is rigged against men.

 

[Willamshakespear]

The insignificant nobody me is no Dr. Love, & thus I would be of no help in resolving the male & female mental & physical divide, but only share experiences on how the sanctity of marriage between a man & a woman can be kept alive even in this present era... regardless of race, language or religion, to bring about the next generations with love, compassion & understanding, as it will be rewarded by at least most when such exists during a child's growing years & in return, their care & concern when parents grow old & feeble... a continuation of life & Humankind as proven since civilization began....

However, I still do support AWARE org, as it's primary aim is to protect womanhood, as I had seen how callous my fellow males can be in their treatment of women.


Men are usually driven by attraction to a woman's beauty, often women in their sparkling youth, but eventually beauty fades, & my fellow males would get bored with them & cast them aside the way one would do with a doll, no reason needed, with the woman left drifting on their own, as in some brutal male dominated societies whereby just a simple 'Talak' uttered 3 times in writing or even 3 whatsapp msgs, the wife is left adrift in the World, & WORSE, with NO assets divided, as under such societal religious laws, what the husband owns is his, & the wife keeps whatever she owns, probably only her hijab & kids to take care of....

Even worse, the man goes on to find another nubile young beautiful lady, rinse & repeat, at no cost to him or even care or responsibility for the kids he bred , till he grows old & feeble, & lay on his death bed as a skeletal frame....
