Silly men just need to understand that saying "I'm lonely" and "women belong in the kitchen" are equivalent. So don't you dare ever talk or reach out if you're lonely.
It's a real shame that male loneliness is so quickly dismissed because it would be a great starting point to begin talking about how traditional male friendships tend to keep each other at a distance, and maybe come up with ways to bridge the gap so existing friendships can become deeper.
Instead it feels like the conversation just gets to this point where we all collectively shrug and say, "shame" and never really talk about it more than this.
"I'm lonely."
"Well, you probably deserve it then."
There is a difference between thinking someone deserves it and them probably needing to do some introspection.
Making the blanket statement that anyone who believes male loneliness is an issue that in parts is outside of their control, is a clown, has nothing to do with introspection. It's a rude, unemphatic, misandric statement that has no constructive properties.
Unemphatic? Grown men seem to need more coddling than I got as a little girl. Do you guys know why women are so supportive of each other? They have to be to survive.
Sorry that evolution is hurting your brains right now
No need for coddling, just be quiet. It's not a big ask.
Ever heard the saying "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all"?
Lmao keep sweet right
