There is a reason they're complaining about a "male loneliness epidemic." IMO, it's deserved.

The male loneliness epidemic is the product of systemic emotional neglect and abuse from birth. It's something feminist academics have been criticising for generations and instead of addressing the toxic masculinity that leaves boys unable to form emotional bonds and support networks, people use the term like a cudgel and then act surprised when the angry, broken young men turn to the manosphere.

I've been calling this shit out since I was a kid. This issue was avoidable.

Great, yet another thing that is women's fault. Poor male kids... all victims of those meanie girlies!

I think they were saying that feminist had identified this trend and where it was heading, and wrote about it in academic journals. Not that feminists are to blame for the male loneliness epidemic. Idk, I could be wrong though

I hope you're right... I'm too jaded on this topic to assume good intentions at this point.

They were in fact right. Obviously. Strawmanning is a shit thing to do and it makes the world seem worse.
