Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?
zeropointone@lemmy.world 14 hours agoI haven’t seen a study about male-specific loneliness so far. The same applies to female-specific loneliness. The patterns look rather similar.

I disagree with the sentiment that it can’t be a useful term simply because you haven’t found a peer reviewed study describing the phenomenon. I would like to see more research be done, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m seeing the issue directly in front of my eyes.

I only implied that it’s not helpful to have political groups instrumentalizing the loneliness of men to push a certain agenda (which doesn’t even do anything to get men out of their loneliness, rather the opposite). Nor is it helpful to stylize general loneliness into a sex-specific problem when all sexes are affected equally and with very similar patterns.
