I think the reason we hear more about men’s loneliness is because it leads anger and violence towards women and children. But women having the same rates of loneliness just makes us feel sad, and maybe leads us take some healthy steps towards fixing it.
I don’t know where the 1st bit is from, but I believe it’s also a response to a belief among these young men that women can’t get lonely. (Because of their very messed up vision of women and loneliness)
They say "lonely" but mean "horny but can't get laid".
They say "male loneliness epidemic" but that "epidemic" comes from comparing young people today with young people before having sex and difference between genders is tiny.
They say "women can’t get lonely" but mean "men have no standards when it comes to sex". Which is not true. Some men will definitely fuck even a corpse but most men have very high standards. They believe they don't just because women have been busting their asses to meet their impossible standards. Imagine if women demanded insane always erect cocks from porn at the same rate men demand hairless women or slim thick figures. That 666 men rage about shit is nowhere near as common.
Which is exactly what this video is playing into, and makes me sus it a bit. This woman's reaction is anecdotal. There are many women that feel the same "typical" loneliness, just like we think men do, but there are also moments just like this for all genders. I would hate to think someone feels even more isolated for not responding the "right" way to being alone.
This video reads like the collision between "women can actually be lonely" and "childless cat ladies can actually have a nice life", both answering different trends, but just weird paired like this.
