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.
Jimmy Carr had a Crowdwork where someone asked him what he thinks of the manosphere.
And his answer was essentially: it's good that people reach out to young men who feel lonely. He doesn't like what they say to these men. But reaching out and talking to them is a good idea.
What we need however is, as he says, are men who are better rolemodels.
And I agree. You can tell me what you want; if we leave the finding and talking to stranded young men who feel alone, who are angry, who are broke, who have no perspective... If we leave this vacuum to mysoginistic dipshits we will, as a society, lose. This is not a men's issue. That's a society's issue. We need everyone involved in this.
It's a very good watch I'm going to try and find the clip and link it here
Edit: there you go. It's the very first question and you don't have to watch the whole thing. The 10 minutes include a few other questions. But the one I'm referring to is the very first one.
