Do feminists talk more about the "male loneliness epidemic" than we do?

Heisenburg7 · 2026-03-26T22:45:33+00:00

Yup, it's blown way out of proportion so they can make it seem like men are incapable of being in relationships with women.

World-Three · 2026-03-26T23:36:25+00:00

It is.

It's basically a "This is why nobody likes you" aspect of conversation. The equivalent to who hurt you, but blanketed easier for manipulating men into doing what they want or else they're doomed to be alone forever.

Same tactic they use on incels. It always feels like they're just telling men not to think about anything and to just charge into everything blind, trusting that women and society will judge him properly. Except that they don't. That's why they're not charging anymore.

Now "you're just meeting the wrong people." It's your fault that other people are bad because you found them. You literally can't win with these people. The same people who DATE and STAY with people they claim to be bad, are giving you grief for ENCOUNTERING bad people. What are we even doing?

Soulful_Sadist · 2026-03-27T01:25:23+00:00

No, they mostly laugh about it.

Yes and not just feminists. I’m reminds me of that psychology article that was popular here a few years ago that assumed all single men must be lonely and recommend that men should lower their standards even more and support women even more as a means to solve their loneliness.

Being unmarried of course doesn’t mean a man is lonely. In fact being single can provide the freedom to pursue a social life. Many of the loneliest men I’ve known were stuck in unhappy marriages. Many single men are single by choice. That’s to say they look at the options and the biases of marriage and decide they are better off unmarried. Telling such men they need to lower their expectations to find a a wife is counterproductive.

Yes, there are clearly men who struggle with loneliness, but the lonely male ideology has clearly been twisted in an attempt to manipulate men into providing for women in ways that in reality aren’t in men’s best interest.

Similarly, it doesn’t benefit feminism to acknowledge more and more men realize they don’t need to support a woman to be happy. For all their rhetoric about equality, feminists want men to support women. Again, telling men to lower their standards to prevent loneliness helps women, not men.

Feels pretty low on the totem pole of issues that disproportionately affect men and that men care about, but it's also an issue that's easy to attack in bad faith, which is what most of modern feminism is all about.

Any time it's brought up in feminist or female dominated spaces, it's always "boo hoo the worst thing men ever have to deal with is women not owing them attention" to completely downplay every other male issue.

TKD1989 · 2026-03-27T02:10:47+00:00

They blame it on us because somehow, we're all inherently evil to them. We aren't human beings to feminists who say that male loneliness is "self-inflicted," or they deny it all together.

darthsyn · 2026-03-26T22:54:17+00:00

Feminism is activism and activism is a business. They make their money off of being "oppressed" by men. If it got out that men suffer and are also systemically oppressed it could threaten funds for them.

So whenever men talk about ways they are suffering mentally feminism steps in to downplay it.

brainhack3r · 2026-03-26T23:01:34+00:00

Male loneliness epidemic is the wrong term.

I don't want to be with women that give me more drama than what they're worth. That's really all it boils down to.

If she doesn't bring as much value to the relationship as I do, I'm not interested. Like, it's literally not worth it.

Like, I'd love to own a Ferrari, but not if it costs $10 million. That's what modern women are like. They're way, way, way overpriced.

isekaitruck777 · 2026-03-27T00:14:56+00:00

Of course, it's propaganda they feed them. They need them to think they're better off than men.

AbysmalDescent · 2026-03-27T03:22:59+00:00

Yes and no. They only bring it up when it can be weaponized against men. They don't actually bring it up to address it or to be constructive about it. Not sure that really counts.

MountaineerChemist10 · 2026-03-27T03:16:22+00:00

Good question, b/c they were discussing about the “loneliness epidemic” just a few hours ago in their own Reddit group.

🤷‍♂️

No-Cartographer-476 · 2026-03-27T03:30:41+00:00

Its funny bc I got into an argument w a feminist and she said ‘the news only reports the male epidemic of loneliness not womens bc patriarchy.’ Basically you can twist anything to ‘bc patriarchy’

kereso83 · 2026-03-27T07:13:13+00:00

Yes. I think a lot of it is projection. Men are far better equipped psychologically to deal with loneliness. Even if true, the male loneliness epidemic will become the female loneliness epidemic soon enough.

big_2Rock · 2026-03-27T16:28:38+00:00

Feminists arise from a feeling of envy towards men, and from a great feeling of inferiority. Therefore, they are unwilling to accept that men can have problems and situations much worse than their own.Because then their argument that men have privileges would fall apart. That's why I classify feminists into two groups: the misandrists and psychopaths who hate men, including their own children.And the ignorant ones who believe the speeches of the former and who either refuse to see reality, or do not have enough capacity to understand reality

Americanminuteman76 · 2026-03-27T17:29:35+00:00

I've almost exclusively heard about the "epidemic" from them rather than men.

Simplement_thrown · 2026-03-27T23:27:25+00:00

Because they see it as a weapon. But it's really a coping mechanism.

Cien22n2 · 2026-03-28T00:15:35+00:00

t hey basically use it as a joke in same manner as "small pp" jokes etc

alterego200 · 2026-03-28T05:19:47+00:00

They're projecting because they feel lonely.

BlueThespian · 2026-03-28T20:00:24+00:00

Wimen are lonely as well, but can find glee momentarily by deluding themselves into thinking that men are worse off.

oseday · 2026-03-29T14:43:17+00:00

These fucking cunts have hijacked the conversation. It isn't and was never about finding a girlfriend and they made it into that. The original data was about middle aged men who have bad health, working overtime and couldn't spend time outside of their house where most are married with kids.

WoodpeckerCapital167 · 2026-03-27T01:02:12+00:00

There is no epidemic

Minimum_Passing_Slut · 2026-03-26T23:26:30+00:00

Men suffer from the patriarchy, this is also a feminist issue.

Capital_Comb_9495 · 2026-03-26T22:22:16+00:00

Yes and same with men talking about the women's loneliness epidemic
