"Men who feel they are trapped in a loneliness epidemic should tell their bros they love them more."

The male loneliness epidemic is not real. It’s just what happens when entitlement meets boundaries.

The so-called male loneliness epidemic is self-inflicted. Nowadays, a lot of young men are unable to empathise with women. They are frustrated with women advocating for each other. They always want to project through harassment & violence but never by self-reflecting & learning.

"I do think that it's exacerbated for men, due to the patriarchal standards that men aren't allowed to be vulnerable. So when you're already removed from community, to seek it out in a meaningful and sincere way makes men look 'weak.' Not to us women, but mostly among other men, and especially within themselves. That's why so many teenage boys turn to the alt-right pipeline: it's a space online, exclusive to men, where they can be vulnerable with each other without being perceived as weak. It's designed to be predatory by the entire 'alpha male' apparatus that exists. I'm not trying to excuse incel rhetoric, and a lot of these guys pose a very real threat to women. But I think we shouldn't blame the individuals as much as we should blame the social pressures that led them there."

"But for those who still wish that women were no more than chattel and act as though they are, we can just say thanks, but no thanks. Many men are simply not worth our time. You think your self-improvement obsessions will help, but it is all superficial nonsense. If you put the slightest effort into developing your kindness and humanity, it would be more fulfilling than you could imagine, and would do infinitely more for your attractiveness than your dumb cold plunges and excessive gym time."
