    It isn’t a male loneliness epidemic, it’s a loneliness epidemic. You’re never going to get satisfying answers to your questions if you accept the framing that it’s a male loneliness epidemic.

    It’s a loneliness epidemic for everyone.

    Focusing on the arguments of people who have no understanding of the topic and are just spreading toxicity is pointless; but pretending that there isn’t a loneliness epidemic because it’s used to power some incel memes is contributing to the apathy about this issue which is causing harm to both men and women.

      My criticism was precisely aimed at people specifically claiming it to be a male loneliness epidemic…?

      I never claimed there wasn’t a loneliness epidemic, just that there isn’t a male loneliness epidemic.
