is MGTOW the answer to ending rape?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by La Lioness Priyanka (a host of the Feminists group).

I'm starting to think it's just what it might be. For those that don't know, MGTOW (pronounced mig tao) is an acronym for Men Going There Own Way. It basically means they want to avoid relationships, at least until there a lot older and don't have to worry about divorce and loss of assets. By the time men would start relationships and having children, they would probably be of an age where rape is almost unheard of.

They seem to resent a LOT of things, and it looks like they resent women.
I don't know why this would put an end to rape.

and are libertarians - the idea sounds like a good one. How can you commit rape if you're mostly avoiding women?

No point in pursuing this, really.
