Women don’t usually do mass shootings when they’re lonely.
imo is basically for a mixture of capitalism (as always), lack of social skills, societal expectations about “masculinity” and being able to have lots of women as suitors or sex companions, and not being able to be independent, or having lots of girls to fuck or marry in your life marking you as a “loser”, “beta” and fascism trying to provide a cope with “omega males” and stuff
Because the experiences of women don’t matter to the people creating these narratives, as usual.
We’re all being alienated under capitalism and women are having it far worse than men - but who cares about us, right? What matters is that perverted racist white boy is sad and we need to drop everything to help him specifically.
The people who write those things only notice beautiful popular young women, the type who tend to be surrounded by people. Those of us who are old, disabled, hideous, etc don’t exist in their eyes, I haven’t had a friend, companion or social life since 2009, but no-one cares since I am just a disabled old hag.
Women/feminine socialized & perceived people are also expected to put the emotional needs of others first, its their “duty” to make others (especially men) feel good, even if they sacrifice much of their own wellbeing for it, which is already expected anyway.
no you don’t understand this is unique Male Loneliness which is completely different and totally distinct. Male Loneliness is from Mars and Female Loneliness is from Venus. /s

Imagine my surprise when I joined this instance and encountered unironic manosphere parrots within my first week lmao.
Most comrades here are thankfully cool but some are very sus.
Well it’s sort of ironic. Patriarchy can make men’s loneliness particularly intense because of how they’re socialized w/ regards to emotions (to basically invalidate them) and even men in friendships can be pretty cold with each other overall because of that socializing, using affectionate “ribbing” as a substitute for emotional openness and support. But the people who tend to be most pushing a male-centric view of suffering also tend to be reinforcing patriarchy, not challenging it. So they’re helping maintain that problem even as they claim to care about it.
And of course as others point out, the alienation is not male-exclusive by far. Most people, masc, fem, nonbinary, suffer under capitalism, colonialism, imperialism in multiple ways. Patriarchy does need to be dismantled on top of that, but it certainly won’t be dismantled by implying that men’s problems are the center of the universe.
You never hear about the female loneliness pandemic like we have to pander racist white men who contribute nothing else to society
Male loneliness is actually about the fear of that white males are not reproducing enough with white women. They are afraid that minority are reproducing more and this leads to the Great Replacement Theory. Plus, the male loneliness epidemic idea is a great marketing to pull in incels into the conservative political sphere.
Because the it is an angendum of the right. And the right doesn’t care about women’s grievances.
Enbies are going through it too lol
I think it has to do with men on average having smaller social networks and less social skills than women do. See this apparently recent statistic as an example: “A recent Pew Research Center study found that 54% of women say they turn to a friend for emotional support, but only 38% of men say they do.” (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-many-men-struggle-to-maintain-deep-male-friendships-later-in-life)
Please note that I agree with what others are saying that men and women are both alienated under capitalism and that calling it a male loneliness epidemic is overstating the problem for men and understating it for women. I’m just explaining why some people call it that and providing an example.
All lives matter posting
how so
Like I said in the cross post, Incel Logic.
Not sure if this is satire or genuine. Either way, I have constructive notes
