there is a ~~male~~ loneliness epidemic
FTFY
I think it's phrased like this because it's less acceptable for men to express feelings like sadness or loneliness. men and boys who are lonely and alienated can more easily fall down the Andrew Tate/4Chan/Jordan Peterson/blackpill pipeline which yields violent extremist behavior. Obviously it's not only men
Yes, it's because despite the problem being the same for everybody, the "treatment" has to be very different. So it's better if you break it down into two different epidemics.
And one gets more attention because every single well known and applied procedure to fight the epidemics don't work for them.
