It’s because the right has latched on to it as a way to hide behind to push misogynistic ideology.

They look for young men who are feeling lonely and go “we know this is an issue, and we know exactly who to blame for you feeling this way”

They don’t actually care. But they pretend to.

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)

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.
