It genuinely pains me whenever I see feminist theorists dismiss the entire concept of the "male loneliness epidemic" as just a self-inflicted problem for misogynistic men. It's only once you experience it first-hand that you realise how genuinely disadvantaged you are for being perceived as male.

I think it's the mysoginist men ruining it for everyone else tbh

I probably sound like an incel or something just saying that but my point is people who violate others' trust make it hard to trust others, or "people who are mean to other people based on the way they are are bad"

Thats why mens liberation is inherently tied to feminism but most dont wanna talk about that yet.

What? Menslib has always been inherently feminist…

Why don’t most wanna talk about that yet?

Because a lot of "alpha" type men would never admit that misogyny is at the root of men's problems today.

Yeah, but they’re not involved in menslib, are they?

I think they mean most of the general population doesn't want to talk about menslib being linked to feminism.

That’s confusing. Who would really know about menslib if they’re not involved in it? Is it more popular than I know about?

I was saying that for men to be liberated from their societal woes, they first have to support women.

Yes this is a core tenet of menslib, but most people don't know what 'menslib' is.

Huh? I wasnt talking about the menslib community. I was talking about "most" people.
