Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

    I’m aware nuance is a thing. It’s often left behind when attacking men for this shit. All men.

    Outside of some small groups of radical 2nd gen feminist, it’s exceedingly rare for anyone to make a claim that includes all men.

    I think people like yourself just like to conflate any valid criticism of certain groups or behavior of men as “all men”.

    If I claimed that the vast majority of alt right extremist groups are made up of men, how would you interpret that?

    “hey people are getting shouted down for voicing a concern about this” and you run in and start shouting them down saying “no they’re not”.

    Disagreeing with someones over generalized claim and explaining exactly why… totally silencing all men.

    You’ve dismissed their experience, without nuance, and providing a good example of the very behavior you claim is not happening

    Lol, pretty sure I’ve gone in depth into exactly why I disagree with their claims. Just because you ignore anything that boo-boos your feelings doesn’t mean I haven’t made an honest attempt to explain my criticism.
