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

it does not follow from the marginalization of the other that every time you experience the marginalization of the other, it is directly connected to genocide. humans are more than ideal atoms, and some of them need to be communicated with in the language of harsh blunt truth.

Men who are unfuckable because of their politics need to man up. If you are spending several hundred words to say: "please integrate a more healthy relationship with masculinity" which is literally just telling them to man up with extra steps that they are uninterested in, you should consider that they are man enough to need to hear: "man up."

You sound like someone who has read a lot and understood very little.

You sound like someone with the word 'master' in their online internet name.
