This phrase is brought up heinously everytime someone tries to differentiate loneliness or lack of sex between gender. If we look at this qoute literally we can say that women in this scenario are purified and cleansed, hence the swamp water. The water (women) is implied here that it's good and safe to drink when compared to swamp water(men), when in actuality the water can just be as unsafe or unhealthy to drink in a desert.

It is pretty convenient to phrase most men as essentially swamp monsters that are dirty and not viable, all while you get all the attention in the world and privilege to take control of your love life, sex, or dating handed to you. Saying that a lot of men are not viable hence you experience loneliness, struggle, or difficulty just as much or comparable, is utterly ridiculous.

Women will never be in a situation with genuine lonliness, where they truly have absolutely no one, no government assistance, no one to rely on, no options. I can't go on a dating app tonight and get any connection at all if I really needed someone desperately, but practically any women on planet earth can or could. You atleast get to feel wanted to some degree, men dont. Their is no reason for men to care about your plight when they are suffering more severely and by many objective metrics that isn't even about who is more single, alone and lonely.

Truth is its a desert for men, but its also a damn river for a women. A river isn't perfect, and its not without its faults and things may be damned, but water is always flowing and the grass is greener.
