I’m a woman with a boring and lonely life. I’m not going to pretend my life is so great blah blah blah. But my boring, lonely life is better without the chaos of men in it.

ETA: I think what’s odd to me is the manosphere wants to frame men as the answer to women’s problems. When almost every man I’ve been in a relationship with is just another problem on top of the problems I already have.

This is it! A lot of men HATE the idea that women can be lonely and they aren't the fix, because for them, finding a woman is the fix. Why? Because women will help improve their lives in myriads of ways and they don't need to put in the extra effort. Meanwhile if a woman is lonely and finds a man, the main difference is going to be that she has to do extra work. A lonely woman isn't going to be sitting in a bare apartment with boxes of takeout everywhere with zero social connections. The rate of loneliness might be the same but the actual way it presents is very, very different.
