I think the people pushing this narrative want, exactly, the reaction you are displaying here.

What position? That social science is conceptually a thing?

I think we are agreeing it’s an individual’s problem. I was responding to the “compassion” comment not the joke comment but the same applies for everyone.
I just see streams of these weirdly skewed articles. The irony of segmenting society to fight loneliness is not lost on me.

I don’t think I care to agree with you at all or your way of responding with obtuse “the reaction you are displaying here”, then backing away from it.
Someone who wants institutions where people can get such support is pushing a narrative. Okay. Good for you.

or maybe you don't write clearly?
And since we’re playing language/interpretation games: this attitude that men in particular feel entitlement in this area is backlash against people writing about problems that men have is if it isn’t simply and narrowly a problem of the individual. It starts like this:
- Initially it’s taboo
- Then it’s a topic about how men are failing as individuals
- Then it gets seen as a sociological problem (a sociological problem can still be an individual problem in other contexts, it’s a lens)
