View submission: Am I losing my mind??

Isolation and loneliness are on the rise for the entire population. Needlessly centering men is going to garner backlash.

Buuut that’s not to say a lot of the response is obviously hateful. I get your conflicting feelings here. Some of the vitriol is perhaps understandable (more men weaponizing an emotional burden and placing both blame and responsibility for that burden on women), but a lot of it is clearly vindictive rather than vindicated. And honestly, ‘understandable’ or not, hurtful words are still hurtful.

My best suggestion is to start building community with your friends. Not in a grandiose manner, but literally log off and go hang out with people you know and love in real life. I promise things will feel better. Bitter people online will stay online, because otherwise they can’t be the way they are. And that’s a genderless condition.
