"Men are terrible and will hurt you because this is lifetime."
Death of third places and the tech takeover of social interaction is why men and women seem to hate each other now. We don't have much opportunity to meet romantically in person and the online space pits extremists against each other until all the regular people believe that's just the way it is in real life too.
Can't overlook that women being, for the most part, economically equal for the first time ever gives them more opportunity to choose as well.
Women can be dishwashers.*
*If women work in the position of dishwasher in a restaurant.
Oh wow, another meme completely disregarding a problem many are struggeling with. But don't worry guys and gals, it's okay because it's making fun of mens' suffering. And men can't be discriminated against.
On another note, has anyone figured out yet, why men are never emotionally available? It truly is a mystery 🤔
/s in case you can't tell.
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.

Yeah, that’s not at all what the male loneliness thing is about at all. Was the point of your meme to make fun of how ignorant people are about this particular issue for men or were you trying to suggest the issue is invalid and the result of misogynistic assholes? Because if it’s the latter I think you just demonstrated your own ignorance and should probably spend some time trying to empathize more with men and educate yourself.

I doubt the first 3 statements are the same person as the fourth in most cases
Why
I just figure if you called women dishwashers you wouldn't know big words like epidemic. That and it's possible to be lonely without being sexist.
Also, I hear the 4th way more often than the other 3
That and it’s possible to be lonely without being sexist
Sure, but people often misdirect their anger at the wrong things.
You are right. And snowing similarly implies that it's cold outside. But you cannot reliably conclude whether it is snowing if you only know it is cold.
The people speaking about male loneliness epidemics aren't the incels right? I think trying to understand the problems related to masculinity in society is exactly the opposite, trying to combat incels and the like. It has nothing to do with blaming women (at least in my experience)
there is a ~~male~~ loneliness epidemic
FTFY
I think it's phrased like this because it's less acceptable for men to express feelings like sadness or loneliness. men and boys who are lonely and alienated can more easily fall down the Andrew Tate/4Chan/Jordan Peterson/blackpill pipeline which yields violent extremist behavior. Obviously it's not only men
Yes, it's because despite the problem being the same for everybody, the "treatment" has to be very different. So it's better if you break it down into two different epidemics.
And one gets more attention because every single well known and applied procedure to fight the epidemics don't work for them.
