No they’re not, but the problem with this question is that it ignores an entire side of this phenomenon of struggling men. Yes, men are having their own crisis, and those alpha male podcasters will try their hardest to convince you that it is women and feminism behind this, but aren’t women the biggest victims of men’s loneliness?
Men feel lonely, so they become more violent to get what is “rightfully” theirs, they kill women who said no to them, they start podcasts and careers centered around how to victimize women, they manipulate women themselves with “feminine energy” bullshit, so that they quit their jobs and settle for horrible men. Whereas when women were suffering (we still are, but I’m specifically talking about the past) , men flourished. They could focus on their jobs, maintain their male friendships even after marriage and kids, they were guaranteed maids, cooks, nannies for their children and sex even if they themselves brought nothing to the table. When women suffer, men succeed, but when men suffer, women die.
So, I’m afraid those podcasters will have to excuse me if I don’t show empathy for men as they suffer in a modern society, because I prefer to empathize with the women whose lives are lost, whose bodily autonomy is removed, who are facing the removal of their basic human rights because y’all couldn’t accept that the world has moved on, and that you’ll have to adapt.
You wanna fix yourselves? Go to therapy, learn how to cook and clean after yourself, shower, organize your time, develop hobbies other than gaming, read books that challenge your point of view. Meet new people with whom you don’t necessarily agree and have a conversation with them and resist the urge to be condescending, maybe then you’ll learn a thing or two. Befriend women with no expectations of sex or relationships, ask them about their lives and actually listen, it might end up being an important and useful exercise in empathy.
But rest assured, the solution is not to return to the past, because we’re not gonna let you.
