Show transcriptScreenshot 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

There being causes for someone's cruelty doesn't change their responsibility for it, but understanding those causes is vital if you wish to do anything about the fact that it is a persistent societal issue.

I don't think ill socialized, emotionally unwell, harmful people should be fuckable, I think that we need to recognize that they are ill socialized, and emotionally unwell, if we'd like there to be fewer harmful people in the future.

I don't have any problem recognizing that, my solution is to tell them they made bad decisions and need to man up.
