Yong men are now lonely because…Patriarchy?

Just go through author's profile and you'll notice how woke and anti male she is.

To quote myself from another discussion about this article:

[...] you don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy. I think that rather than focusing on young men being single, the real problem is the fact that men don’t have friends

...says attractive middle class woman with a voice, who likely has romantic and sexual opportunities and experiences up the wazoo, whose only experience of that kind of loneliness was perhaps the pandemic, but even then she was likely well connected enough to be able to seek comfort whenever it was necessary.

Oh hey, what do you know? She's got a wife, and a child.

Who she spent the pandemic with, living together in their apartment and says that it was "So good I missed her when she went to the balcony".

Who's also written an article in the very same newspaper about how couples are positively joyful when they speak about "we" as a couple.

Not to mention she's incredibly privileged in many other areas too.

What a crock of hypocritical self-interested lying manipulative bullshit.

The author of the article claims it's a problem related to education... of men. Not even once she tries to involve women in the picture.

But who is educating these men? Most teachers are women, so maybe, at least during the life time spent studying, women should be considered part of the problem?

Then again, do we really want to believe that so many men are taught to be emotionless loners?

And even if we take that theory for granted, how can we forget that the interaction with the other sex must have an influence on how men grow up this way?

To me, this is just an example of "toilet paper article".

>"they’re just taught from a young age that emotions are for girls "

In what world or what time are they living in ? Everyone from school to parents to media to movies etc. is teaching boys to express their emotions, to be more feminine, that men are bad.

Literally the first sentence of the article is a false assertion with no example to back it up.

Authors keep twisting this. Marriage and relationships in general benefit women. More men, young men especially would rather be single. These articles ignore the fact many men prefer being single to being in a biased marriage.

These articles are selling loneliness in an attempt to get men to marry down and provide for women. Don’t buy it. There’s nothing wrong with men deciding to be single and/or put off marriage to enjoy life on their own for a while.

Erm, that consensus covers way more than young men. Denmark is begging its males to have sex now. Their population is dwindling, and men aren't interested in relationships or marriage because of the feminist cancer.

Standard_Web_4937 · 2023-02-27T07:11:43+00:00

Young men are waking up to the reality of women plain and simple, the info that is out there now mixed with the experiences these young men are having with women

Surv1ver · 2023-02-27T07:57:58+00:00

Bullshit article. It gives no definition of what patriarchy is, which means that it doesn’t have any logical arguments for how loneliness among young men is the fault of the patriarchy. It’s just pandering to an in group who project their own personal definition of what the patriarchy is and isn’t into. I could copy past most of the article and just change “patriarchy” to “matriarchy” and it would be equally valid for a new in group that I want to pander to.

This isn't a result of the patriarchy, its the result of our gradual feminization of society. The Western world has become much more feminized since the 1950's and especially the 70's and its not always been for the better. The feminist explanation is that any and all problems men face are either invalid, or the result of the patriarchy. So, to their way of thinking, if you really took male problems seriously, you'd actually be a feminist. Of course this makes no sense because feminism doesn't actually have solutions for men and many of these problems associated with suicide, the breakdown of normal relationships, and unemployment emerged during or after 2nd wave feminism. Trying to ensure 50% of all engineering students are women won't lower male suicide rates or encourage marginally attached workers to start looking for work again.

By her own logic, society is now more "patriarchal" than it used to be then. Otherwise the resulting number of lonely men would be lower, not higher. Goes to show the amount of insanity in her head.

Women are sharing men

When you have a hammer everything is a nail...

Feminists be analysing every single pitfall in society as being due to the "patriarchy". What is the patriarchy supposed to even mean now? Back then it was supposed to mean something like that men ruled society (ie: the politicians mostly men, the wealthiest most powerful people mostly men) and that every man benefited from this because apparently men favor other men and apparently men treat other men better than women.

But even that premise was unfounded because it was out-of-touch women (academics) conjecturing how men operate and behave. We know that that ain't true because most homicide victims are men, most robbery victims are men, most major assault victims are men (ie: if men treated other men better, why do we kill, rob, shoot and stab each other more than we do the same to women?), most homeless people are men, men get longer prison sentences for the same crimes, and so on. If men are rulers, and the patriarchy is true, then wouldn't women be getting higher conviction rates and longer prison sentences? Wouldn't there be extra funding for homeless men? The average man does not experience patriarchy.

So how is blaming the patriarchy even coherent? I don't understand how it even follows. Even if we accept the premise that men are lonely because they don't know how to express their emotions and that this prevent meaningful friendships, how does it follow that this is due to the patriarchy? They just be throwing patriarchy onto everything like ninja stars. And the problem with this is because if you have incorrect analyses then you can't form correct solutions.

It’s not patriarchy that’s the problem, it’s feminism (gynocentrism). In addition, she has shown no evidence that her statement is correct.

Her claim: "Men are not naturally stoic." which is false.

Overall, men show more autism.

Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues on the topic of "gender differences in the brain":

Article in the issue of the science magazine "Science" (Vol. 310, p. 819):

"Autism represents an extreme form of the male structure." "impaired empathy" and "expanded systemization"

Just because young men are alone, doesn’t mean they’re lonely. They’re just smart not putting up with this bullshit anymore.

eye_of_gnon · 2023-02-27T11:55:33+00:00

it's always mens fault

AgeOfReasonEnds31120 · 2023-02-28T02:46:34+00:00

Wouldn't men being expected to behave a certain way be... matriarchy?

I agree that's bullshit, but it's not patriarchy, that's for damn sure.

CM_4321 · 2023-02-27T13:38:31+00:00

What a miserable bitch lol she’s getting no dick

Usual-Leopard-9102 · 2023-02-27T05:25:19+00:00

This is true men are agresive and atack each other and dont support each other. Most will rather simp for some women then have a nice time with their mates. I see it here so often. Just ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK.

First men need to learn to be nicer to each other and care more for each other. But will never happen saddly.

AndyBrown65 · 2023-02-27T10:31:34+00:00

She certainly has a lot of hate issues, and seems obsessed about running men down.

Has she ever been formally diagnosed with any thing?

Early-Department-234 · 2023-02-27T16:54:04+00:00

I'm gonna say it again.

In Canada, when that pickup artist turned religious nutbag hosted a meetup inside bars in Toronto and Montreal, the billionaire-funded private and government media went on a smear campaign on a guy who barely had 20,000 Twitter followers at the time.

Anton_Ushanka1981 · 2023-02-27T23:15:12+00:00

This is every online news article nowadays Full of woke crap (especially in bio of journalist)

I shall go back to living life in middle of Eastern Europe now
