Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?

It makes me so angry with “the patriarchy”, because it isn’t just keeping women down, it’s also hurting and sometimes killing men.

I agree, I wish more men would realize that feminism also benefits men. Even things as small as being able to freely express yourself are hurt by the patriarchy

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I believe the perceived etymology of the word ‘feminism’ hurts the intent of the movement.

The word seems to imply that women should be put first, not as equals. Think of ‘nationalism’, those following that put their nation first, sometimes to the point of being derogatory to other nations.

So when uneducated hear the word feminism they may think it’s an ideology of putting women first to the point of being derogatory to men.

  It doesn’t help that some people misuse it that way either

Men benefit from feminism like women benefit from patriarchy.

  Men suffer under patriarchy, bro. It isn’t women exploiting your insecurities to sell you magic pills and creams for a bigger dick and more testerone, masculinity retreats, or super secret techniques for making them drop their panties.

    It’s fascinating how few people are able to understand what I wrote.
