Born: 1584, Harima Province

Partner: Yoshino Tayū, Kumoi
Children: Miyamoto Iori, Miyamoto Mikinosuke, Takemura Yoemon, Kurōtarō
Parents: Shinmen Munisai

“Relationships
Writings on Musashi's life rarely mention his relationship with women, and often when they do Musashi is regularly depicted as rejecting sexual advances in favor of focusing on his swordsmanship.[22][23][24] Alternative interpretations have taken his lack of interest as an indication of homosexuality.[25] In contrast many legends do feature Musashi in trysts with women, some of these also reflect the view that he would eventually choose to forego physical or emotional investments to attain further insight into his work.[26] This predominant cultural view of Musashi is somewhat contradicted by old texts such as Dobo goen (1720) which relay his intimacy with the courtesan Kumoi during his middle age.[27] The Bushu Denraiki also details Musashi fathering a daughter by a courtesan. It is uncertain if this courtesan and Kumoi were the same person.[22] A rumor also connected Musashi with the oiran Yoshino Tayu [Ja].”

For some inexplicable reason people can’t, or are unwilling to, accept that MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) philosophy of life has nothing at all to do with misogyny or sexuality (i.e. gender if you’re so inclined) – and everything to do with individual ‘sovereign’ self control. And yet it almost never fails to receive accusations of either celibacy or homosexuality – why is that? None-the-less it would appear some such question arose concerning Paul himself? {see below 1 Corinthians 9:5, 7-9}

MGTOW philosophy is an umbrella philosophy that covers many different viewpoints some of which may appear misogynistic when they’re merely indifference. What a woman does with her life is her business alone, but legal relationship commitments tramples upon the same rights for men. This is why MGTOW discourages any such legally binding commitment by men.

1 Corinthians 9:7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? (kjv)
