View submission: Men, Women and Social Connections - Roughly equal shares of U.S. men and women say they’re often lonely; women are more likely to reach out to a wider network for emotional support

I think your last paragraph is spot on. Some men have made the loneliness epidemic into the “I don’t have a gf/ sexual partner” epidemic. Those men aren’t really the same men that exist in this sub. Some women then want to make clear men are not entitled to their emotional labor or sex. But as you said, the men here don’t really need to be told that.

The other day on NPR they were talking about the loneliness epidemic and I think that had a very good, non-gendered take on the matter!
