A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Oh wow, another meme completely disregarding a problem many are struggeling with. But don't worry guys and gals, it's okay because it's making fun of mens' suffering. And men can't be discriminated against.
On another note, has anyone figured out yet, why men are never emotionally available? It truly is a mystery 🤔
/s in case you can't tell.
Silly men just need to understand that saying "I'm lonely" and "women belong in the kitchen" are equivalent. So don't you dare ever talk or reach out if you're lonely.
It's a real shame that male loneliness is so quickly dismissed because it would be a great starting point to begin talking about how traditional male friendships tend to keep each other at a distance, and maybe come up with ways to bridge the gap so existing friendships can become deeper.
Instead it feels like the conversation just gets to this point where we all collectively shrug and say, "shame" and never really talk about it more than this.
Maybe, just maybe... men don't have deep friendships because "empathy is gay"?
Silly men just need to understand that saying “I’m lonely” and “women belong in the kitchen” are equivalent.
Yeah, I think maybe you misunderstood the meme format? I don't think anyone is saying those things are equivalent...
I've seen this """""meme""""" four times in the last week.
We get it, it's low quality bait. Move along.
The comments on this one really highlights Lemmy's demographics. You can take the men out of reddit but you can't take the reddit out of men lmao
Yeah, I dunno if it was the recent migration or what, but I'm not a fan of the direction that lemmy seems to be headed. This was one of the few online discussion spaces that hadn't been poisoned by right-wing ideology and it seems like that might no longer be the case.
Yes I know about blocking, I just don't like doing it.
The "what about men's issues" crowd has been here since the first big migration, mostly due to the demographic most likely to switch to Lemmy being techbro adjacent male liberals. It's been simmering since then but only bubbles up when stuff like this gets posted. .world has been one of if not the biggest offender for annoying bullshit on this platform so just be aware when you see a comment from one of their users you're taking a gamble on viewing one of the dumbest things you've ever seen in your life.
Blocking isn't implemented very well. It prunes out the entire subtree. Would be nice to just elide the problem individuals and fold the subtree.
Yeah, that’s not at all what the male loneliness thing is about at all. Was the point of your meme to make fun of how ignorant people are about this particular issue for men or were you trying to suggest the issue is invalid and the result of misogynistic assholes? Because if it’s the latter I think you just demonstrated your own ignorance and should probably spend some time trying to empathize more with men and educate yourself.
Par for the course for cm0002 to drop a devisive clickbait "meme" for engagement and disappear. I understand we want Lemmy to grow, but is this actually the kind of content we want churned out?
there is a ~~male~~ loneliness epidemic
FTFY
I think it's phrased like this because it's less acceptable for men to express feelings like sadness or loneliness. men and boys who are lonely and alienated can more easily fall down the Andrew Tate/4Chan/Jordan Peterson/blackpill pipeline which yields violent extremist behavior. Obviously it's not only men
I doubt the first 3 statements are the same person as the fourth in most cases
It's pretty much everybody but go off I guess

There are multiple ways to get to the loneliness stage. The meme identifies one way that is self inflicted which starts with misogyny and spirals from there.
Death of third places and the tech takeover of social interaction is why men and women seem to hate each other now. We don't have much opportunity to meet romantically in person and the online space pits extremists against each other until all the regular people believe that's just the way it is in real life too.
Can't overlook that women being, for the most part, economically equal for the first time ever gives them more opportunity to choose as well.
The people speaking about male loneliness epidemics aren't the incels right? I think trying to understand the problems related to masculinity in society is exactly the opposite, trying to combat incels and the like. It has nothing to do with blaming women (at least in my experience)
