Particularly when so many trans men who have lived as women previously have come forward to validate how much more isolated men feel.
Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?

I think its pretty hypocritical for anyone who isnt a male to have an opinion on the validity of an experience they cant possibly have unless they transitioned.
Its like me having an opinion on have a period.

I’ll disagree a little here.
My wife’s had surgeries from men that know waaaaaay more about her period than she does.
That being said, they went to school for a decade and have another decade of experience learning specifically about a topic. They aren’t just some random business student that dropped out 2 weeks into semester one and writes their theses via comments.
Small but important caveat. Otherwise 100% agreed. I have no ideas on periods because I’m not a woman or a Dr.

Transitioning isn’t necessary but you have to walk in someone’s shoes in some way for sure.

Yet, men have dictated women’s bodies for centuries. Nah, you can shove that view up your ass.

I reject your opinion. Men shouldn’t be dictating women’s bodies and women shouldn’t be dismissing men’s feelings. Two wrongs, etc etc, I shouldn’t have to explain this to an adult.

Agreed, but as long as countries are ran by old white men, it’ll never change.

“MEN IN THE PAST DID BAD, SO ALL MEN FOREVER GUILTY”
What a well reasoned argument.

Current men are bad.
Fixed that for you.

I am currently a men, am I bad?
Are you a men? Are you bad because of it?
If not, by virtue of being a not-men are you good?
