Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

    You are making the mistake of anthropomorphising communities. There are no singular trains of thought here. There are just people of many sorts posting messages for others to read. Full stop.

    Yeah ok but you are not immune from having a local culture sorry

    leftists of ALL sorts (which is its own entire topic of how freaking diverse that is),

    so is it like the subset of leftists that isn’t outright commie?

    You seem to be using politics as a cudgel against men instead of attempting to understand the social forces that are creating this problem in the first place.

    yes, because using the cudgel is preferable to endlessly theorizing

    You can pretend to not understand all you want, but your ignorance won’t be tolerated for long here.
