So Gen-Z incel infuencer brought the male loneliness epidemic concept, I understand that for many people loneliness isn’t a blessing, and know that it feel better to sleep in the arm of someone loving you than alone.

However, if I remember my English class, single women were mostly banned from immigrating to the US, and men were the one travelling to the far-west, so I expect a pretty bad gender-ratio, with many single men How was it managed at the time ? Did it led to societal scale problem ?

    Part of the problem, that I’ve personally witness, is groups/communities that form male social cohesion get attacked. They are considered wrong and bad for not including women, and therefore they must be evil.

    So men are basically damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

      To be fair, as a man who naturally interacts with other men, most guys when left to their own groups become very toxic/sexist in the long run.

      This isn’t any inherent flaw of men, it’s a natural outcome of the influence social media puts on men through algorithms.

        So if we leave women alone in groups do they become very toxic/sexist?

        Or are you just bying into a false belief that men can’t be decent unless women are involved?
