Acronym for "Men Going Their Own Way"
MGTOW is a lifestyle choice in which men decide to not be/get married because of the underlying legal structure which treats men unjustly.
The term "MGTOW men"(also referred to as "MGTOWs" by other MGTOW men and "MGTOW-ers" by outsiders of the group who often erroneously believe that MGTOW is a movement) stands for "men who adopted the MGTOW lifestyle", i.e. men who have chosen to not be/get married because of the underlying legal structure which treats men unjustly. In other words, to be a MGTOW man, a man must consciously choose to not get married and said choice must come from an analysis of the observable reality of a legal structure which is deemed by him unjust. Said analysis is often called "MGTOW philosophy", as in "the underlying philosophical basis of a MGTOW man".
The "MGTOW community" is an extension of the term "MGTOW man" to identify the whole group of MGTOW men.

A "MGTOW monk" is a MGTOW man who has also decided to minimize interactions with women in general. In an alternative diction, MGTOW monks are said "to be going monk mode". "monk mode" is caused by a more generalized analysis than the one done by MGTOW men, usually (but not necessarily) considering the effect of false allegations by women.
"MGTOW 4 LIFE"
"MGTOW is freedom"
"I know that monk mode is the right thing to do, but it's very hard to pull off."
