That is a way of creating and fostering connection.

As far as actually experiencing loneliness though, and the detrimental effects of loneliness, men and women are, I think the most recent peer research data tells us that they are one point different.

And the preponderance of the data over the last decades, sometimes women are up a little bit, sometimes men are up a little bit, and it all comes out in the wash.

Gender isn't really impacted by loneliness.

Loneliness is an everyone problem.

The idea that this is being, that this is something specific to men

it literally is rooted in telling young specifically cisgender heterosexual white men that the reason that you can't get a date is because the world is actually conspiring against you is everybody's conspiring against you there's no place for you in society even though you run everything there's no place for you and women don't want you and yada yada yada that's a myth

Well, yes, you are correct.

There is something going on with men, and pretty much every researcher agrees that's true.

It's not loneliness, though.

There is, however, something going on with men, but it's something going on with a lot of parts of society.

There's this Christo-fascist, extremely right-wing kind of takeover of...

a lot of places.

It has to do with white supremacy and telling men that they are the most important.

But you brought up a lot of different kinds of points.

So talking about education, who is graduating from college?

Well, not a lot.

College in and of itself is a luxury for a lot of people.

A lot of people can't afford to go to school anymore.

A lot of people are embracing trade schools instead.
