Shit, 4 more years and I will be in 10%.

15% is still quite bad tbh

The fact they tried to write 15% off is what made me laugh the loudest. Not a "that's actually funny"-laugh, just pure mockery at OP's "well-meaning" take.

Takes 3.5% of the general population to start a revolution. Normies think 15% are ineffectual loners, or uniformly satisfied because their numbers are "so low". They think these men are both scary, and a non-credible threat, un-worthy of even acknowlegement.

Meanwhile, a large number of "non-virgins" who think the same way as the worst in-cels are running the US into the ground. Sure, ignoring them is the right call.

For example, people say it's hard to find a job in the Uk, while "only" 4% of people are unemployed here. That 4% is a looot of people. Now, sure, let's say that some men don't want to get married. But I doubt it's anywhere near 15%

Its "only 4%" until its time to look at the benefits budget then suddenly its a "whopping 4%"

This is terrible news....

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 2 points 1 month ago

Imma make that 15.1%

"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.

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.

It doesn't mean that other genders are not lonely, same that "black lives matter" doesn't mean that people from other skin colors don't get killed. But there's a specifically problem related with gender and race respectively that needs to be addressed.
