Anyone notice that this idea or concept is only ever spoken about by feminists online who seem to be very keen that it's a real thing? And that men are to blame for it. I literally never hear about the idea of a male loneliness epidemic other than in feminist forums or comments where it's used as a subtle or not so subtle stick to bash men.
Obv I do believe loneliness is a genuine issue for many people, especially with the internet where I think screens take us away from people in the real world a bit. However, considering women are I believe 2-3 times more likely to be on anti-depressants should there not be more focus on a "female loneliness epidemic?".
Having said that, if there did start being a focus on a female loneliness epidemic it would be with compassion rather than an insult - (there would be no implications that women need to self improve and take responsibility for their loneliness), it would be solutions such as men being less bad so women can be with them and therefore less lonely.
