“Male loneliness epidemic” = “all lives matter.” Though counterintuitive, they both attempt to bring increased attention to men on an issue that is already universal. There is a loneliness epidemic conversation you could join.

“Male loneliness epidemic” = “all lives matter.”

I disagree, ALM is a whataboutism meant to distract from the BLM movement. There is no loneliness epidemic movement, so if some men want to get together and discuss how loneliness particularly affects them, good for them.

  Sorry you’ve felt left out of the conversation. If you spend time in male-only spaces you’ll find they aren’t talking about it.

It’s more like:

“All loneliness epidemic” == “All lives matter”.

You don’t like a particular demographic and then you invalidate their particular problems saying that everyone have them.

It’s exactly the same argumentation. We all know that really all lives matter, the same we know that people is more lonely in general. But the same it is a specific problem with US cops killing black people disproportionately compared with white people there is a problem with men being more lonely in relation with women.
