Now Women Are Pissed Off That We Discuss Male Loneliness? Hmmm.

We live in this world where everyone needs a take on everything. It gets exhausting.

YouTuber “Shoe on Head” — who is pretty good, and whom I just discovered — did a video about 2–3 weeks ago re: the male loneliness epidemic, which I myself have written about ad nauseam. It was her fastest video to hit 1 million views, so she did a follow-up about some of the comments and backlash, which is here:

If you watch that follow-up video, you see a lot, and I mean a lot, of anti-male sentiment and rhetoric, usually under the guise of “All men are toxic, women have woken up, and it is the failure of men that makes them lonely.” Seems a bit like victim-shaming, but hey, we’re all trauma-adjacent these days, right?

Mostly write about work, leadership, friendship, masculinity, male infertility, and some other stuff along the way. It's a pleasure to be here.
