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

  It’s original sin, just by gender. I think people underestimate the harm in painting all men with the same brush. Once the conversation morphs from “I hate this thing some males do” and changes into “I HATE MEN” you can’t have a productive conversation.

    Its the classic negative feedback loop.

    All you hear about is bad people, doing bad things, because normal, sane, respectful, law abiding people don’t make news because who is going to make headlines like “NORMAL PERSON RESPECTS OPINION AND DOESNT HAVE A TANTRUM OVER BEING DISAGREED WITH”

    So people with low critical thinking skills and an aversion to regular thinking just leap to “ALL X ARE BAD, NO EXCEPTIONS”

    people who think that all men are underdeveloped cretin sex-monsters. they don’t acknowledge that they are people/individuals.

    only women get that status in their minds. Increasingly, as a man, i find it harder and harder to find people of any gender/sex who don’t want to lecture me about my maleness and how evil it is. Shit’s weird. fewer and fewer people care to see me as a person.

    especially on the dating market. holy moly… the horrible hate so many people have towards men there is wild.

    Generalisation of a such large group of people. Love it.

    What would you say if i say “black people are bad”? Because there are also a lot of bad black people out there

      If you were to say “black people are bad” then the rebuttal typically becomes “due to established power structures, white men can’t be oppressed, therefore I can say what I want about them”.

      I think it’s hard to have a reasoned discussion where you say “all men do X” because for every X, there’s probably a bunch of exceptions. There is a great amount of variance in male behavior.

    I am currently a men, am I bad?

    Are you a men? Are you bad because of it?

    If not, by virtue of being a not-men are you good?
