I used to be a "good man", did everything my tradcuck/gynocentric parents taught me. Had manners, got an education, worked every day of my life, didn't do drugs, didn't sleep around, was polite to everyone, adored women, was loyal to friends and family, stood up for others and my beliefs, went to church regularly, gave to charity and my church, volunteered, saved myself for marriage, found a "virgin" girl and got married, had a kid, paid my taxes, grew a company, employed people, worked LONG hours to build a life for my wife (who didn't work) and daughter, and on and on and on.

It nearly killed me, I gave everything I could to everyone, and when it had drained me and life became slightly less than perfect for my demon cunt of an ex, she abandoned the marriage, falsely accused me, destroyed my reputation with nearly everyone, stole my daughter, took everything we had (one way or another), put me through repeated hell for a decade in family courts, child visitations and attorneys/legal battles, drove me to near suicide multiple times... My family sat by and let it happen, my mom even believed my ex's lies about me for a while, eventually when my family wanted to pretend nothing ever happened because it was awkward for them, they befriended my ex and her enablers. When I told them they were being shitty and disloyal for this, they doubled down (that's how my feminist mom reacts when she's caught in the wrong) becoming even friendlier with these evil people to try to "get me back into line".

I've since blown off nearly my whole family (who auto side with my mom the matriarch), only hang out with truly loyal and trustworthy people, stopped dating, downsized my company (much easier), become a minimalist, became a pragmatist, don't go to church, haven't given to charity lately, don't give a shit about our evil society or what people think of me, stay home, play video games, enjoy some booze, enjoy porn, exercise, get lots of sleep, hang with my daughter, cut out of my life anyone who is woke, materialistic or toxic, I ignore women wherever possible, take care of myself, go hiking, enjoy my solitude, and just generally try to enjoy life and love myself way better than anyone else EVER did.

I used to be the perfect example of a "good man". Where did I go? I was fucking destroyed by this sick society and left to go do only enough to take care of myself. Fuck everyone else and their selfish definition of a "good man"!

Atlas is shrugging. Go your own way men.
