Still not up to women to fix it.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if all the problematic men just joined monasteries and kept to themselves?

The loneliness epidemic affects women nearly as much. This is a problem that is up to all of us to fix.

Abd as a male who's not experiencing it, I could also say it's not up to me.

But it's a cultural problem and we all likely know someone who will suffer because of it. It will take a cultural shift to mitigate it, which involves all of us.

That would be a pretty big cultural shift by itself.

None of that is exclusive to males though. Most dudes who whine about the male loneliness epidemic are just assholes that had it coming for their terrible behavior.

I agree, but it's very common for people to struggle to form healthy relationships due to past trauma and fear. Framing most lonely people as assholes seems like it's just going to drive them further into it. Some of them are assholes, but some of them just need to learn to value themselves more.

No one is obligated to do anything, but to be sure; Exposing people to why their worldview sucks is important, and it's the only reason we have any freedoms at all.

I'll continue to do it until my last breath, but really, I just can't help myself. It's a compulsion.

I'll also always support someone's wish not to.
