My dad has always had a slightly chauvinistic side that has just progressively gotten worse as he's aged. (Incidentally, he has not had a gf in over 2 decades. 🤔) He has high standards for himself and surprisingly sometimes exhibits some HV behavior (he thinks it's ridiculous how slobby millennial men actually manage to get women when they refuse to take care of themselves for example) but I cannot excuse his sexism.
As of late he's told me he's been watching their videos and agrees on some of it. Not that he thinks incels are okay, but he seems to believe those are a fringe group instead of closer to eat MGTOWs overall are. It's baffling because he used to never have a problem dating when I was a kid, he's educated and I know he's not bad looking for his age, he can be fun, generous, caring, and charming to women. So I don't understand where this bitterness comes from AT ALL, but he also sometimes shows a very hypocritical dislike of single moms considering he was a single dad.
He tried getting me to watch a video and I refused. I know already what MGTOWs spew and I don't need their negativity anyway. Unfortunately I cannot cut my dad off entirely; I can't give details but I do rely on him for help in my life now. And it's sad to think of cutting him out because we're quite close and he can be a very good parent and in general person to talk to when dating isn't the topic.
Any advice on how to handle this if he brings it up again?
Just going to refer you to this that was recently posted because she talks about older men being like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wUP6vJ_Xs4&t=2s
He's big mad that women his age don't want to put up with his shit anymore. Sorry, I know it's your dad and your family, but that sounds like what's going on. The redpill pigs are just reiterating what he wants to hear, that he's not the problem, but women are. He's mad he hasn't been successful so women must be at fault, in his mind. Nah.
“Dad, I’m concerned you’re going to end up alone and in poor health if you don’t get your mind right about women. This MGTOW propaganda is such a total turnoff for any decent woman. But if you’re not into dating women anymore because you found out you like men more and want to go your own way with other men or whatever, I totally support you.” 🤣 (ok scratch that last part…. 😆)
Act visibly disgusted and very disappointed in him. It’s in a non sh*tty dad’s nature to want to please his daughter. Every time he says something misogynistic —rinse & repeat. Like he’s a bad dog. It makes my dad really mad at me, but often works to correct his behaviour. Correction needs to be ongoing though, the internet and society will continuously work against you.
Can you use child safety technology for blocking websites containing certain words? Maybe a detox from the brainwashing videos would give him a chance to realize how deeply flawed the message is. Bonus points if it redirects to something that focuses on statistics about violence men commit against women
Mgtards arent attractive nor valuable in a relationship so they “go their own way” with the idea that their absence will hurt women mainly because the women they want won’t even look at them. If they really wanted to go their own way they would have shut up about women and mind their own beeswax and just die alone.
If only go their own way means that they leave the country and never come back. I rather have simps than these so called real men.
Why do they always get into MGTOW after they've been single for ages? Like you didn't *go* your own way you were forced to be alone. It's such sour grapes.
My mom and dad have started calling women “females” and they are toxic to one another. But. He is a good dad. He helps me every time he can. He is there for me when I need it. He treats me and my sister better than he treats my mom. It’s all dumb as hell and I don’t understand it. Sigh. Scrotes gonna scrote.
Disown him
Just kidding
I think its really harsh that you'd consider cutting him out of you life over this. You dont even know what it is he's watching. Does HE call it MGTOW, or are you putting words in his mouth? If he's started to act differently - if he's begun being disrespectful toward women for example - you left it out of your story. Is he just watching some videos, like no big deal, he just thinks they're interesting? Or is he suddenly a flagrant misogynist? If he's a decent person and still treats you and other women well, then maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe you SHOULD watch a video with him - I'm really curious what parts he agrees with and what parts he disagrees with, and why.
