    The loneliness epidemic is a real thing. Refusing to acknowledge it helps nobody.

      We can acknowledge it, sure, but that doesn’t solve it. What is your solution? Force young women to marry men they don’t love or respect?

      The real solution is far simpler: let these hateful men remain lonely until they are desperate enough to affect a change in themselves.

        What if, hear me out because it might be a crazy thought, it’s not just the hateful men that are affected? You think nazis are the only ones experiencing male loneliness?

          That’s literally the context of this post. The picture implies that women prefer men who punch Nazis over the 5 symbols used by men who typically support fascism.

            No, this post implies that “male loneliness” is a thing only because most men are “douches”. And that’s just a blatant misrepresentation of reality which requires a deep misandry to believe even for a second.

              Plus, it implies that loneliness is just a matter of having a partner. While this is definitely an important aspect, loneliness is general intended (in the surveys etc.) as being literally alone a large percentage of time, including not having friends or acquaintances.

                Exactly. Men are in general much more isolated than women and their friendships are, on average, less deep. And that’s an endemic issue of the entire society, amplified both by toxic masculinity and toxic feminism.

                Reducing all of that to “ofc you get no bitches if you’re a nazi, serves you right lmao” is just disingenuous.
