women are just as lonely
I’m tired of hearing about the “male loneliness” phenomenon. Why does nobody actually look at the numbers? Women are just as lonely if not more. It’s been statistically proven.
Why do we all have to come together for *their* loneliness? Why is their loneliness a societal issue but ours is not even looked at or considered to start.
Girls are so neglected by all areas of our society. Its not true that expectations of men havent changed. None of us are expecting them to make more money or look down upon stay at home dads— hell, we *want* men who are competent and domestic labor so we are not shouldering all of that *and* a job for fuck’s sake. where are these wild ideas coming from? Why are people spouting this nonsense anecdotal theories just from speculation?
It’s been proven that in actuality, expectations of *women* haven’t changed. Most working women worked at home for the pandemic, because women still shoulder domestic labor, *because the expectations of women haven’t changed*.
You’re upset we want emotionally available men? Like… yeah! I’m so confused! There’s so many crazy expectations upon us and we are asking for literally one or two things and they throw a fucking tantrum and say whoa whoa, you’re expecting so much of us— no! *you* are the ones expecting too much from us and always have.
The lofty expectations on women where you can never be right have left us so lonely. We can’t be friends with women bc they are so fiercely competitive, and forget being friends with men unless you’re physically attractive to them or want to deal with violence for “friend zoning” them.
We struggle with things like depression or adhd in school and instead of getting help like the boys do we are just brushed off as annoying and lazy bc we are expected to be perfect from literally 4-5 years old. Then we end up isolated and lonely. We reject male friends who only ever wanted to talk to us to ask us out and they bully us.
Forget dating. The issue is not our literal 2-3 expectations which are not hard to meet, it’s the expectations which are entirely out of our control for us. If “size” were truly an expectation for men we’d be seeing push up boxers, padded boxers, surgeries advertised by celebrities— does that sound familiar? This “expectation” alone is just what men think women want and they truly think it’s some trump card for women’s rights but the kicker here is that this trump card is based on imagination. Like be fucking for real.
Being a woman is so fucking lonely and always has been.
The world has changed and expectations for women have not, and absolutely not the other way around. I’m sick of men complaining about theirs when it’s all perfectly reasonable— if only they took accountability.
