Women Are Sharing How They REALLY Feel About The “Male Loneliness Epidemic”

“I do think that it’s exacerbated for men, due to the patriarchal standards that men aren’t allowed to be vulnerable. So when you’re already removed from community, to seek it out in a meaningful and sincere way makes men look ‘weak’: not to us women, but mostly with other men and especially within themselves.”

“That’s why so many teenage boys turn to the alt-right pipeline — it’s a space online, exclusive to men, where they can be vulnerable with each other without being perceived as weak. It’s designed to be predatory by the entire ‘alpha male’ apparatus that exists.

I’m not trying to excuse any incel rhetoric, and a lot of these guys pose a very real threat to women. But I think we shouldn’t blame the individuals as much as we should blame the social pressures that led them here.”
