Men are facing a loneliness epidemic. So why do Dems want to stop group chats where guys bond over shared military interests?

The excuses for traitors is thick among what used to be the Republicans, now the cult party of a felon prez.

If you haven't yet heard about certain specific men using a chat app to plan military attacks, then check out a trustworthy news source. I recommend Reuters or Associated Press.
Oh, sorry.
Back to work.
The difference between "allowed" versus prohibited is a matter of control. The more you try to control young men and their behavior, the more alienated and lonely they will become, no matter what specific behaviors you allow or prohibit.

There's a term for sexist men who _claim_ to use logic, but who don't construct valid, sound deductive syllogisms. You're a "Spock-bro".
As for "the way society used to be", there's a movement trying to play on white men nostalgic for "good old days" - but that movement is dishonest about its goals. You won't get The Fonz back. You'll get child labor in factories, fires on the Cuyahoga River, and segregated drinking fountains.

I wish that were a joke, but it's not. The EPA got severely gutted in recent months. Some states are trying to roll back protections against child labor. A four-star general got fired for being black. Don't take my word for it. Look those up with keyword searches! Then reconsider nostalgia.

There a A LOT of good young men out there more deserving of a young person's time and energy. It isn't any woman's responsibility to make them whole.
Indeed. I have invested significant time in programs for children and youth, which includes young men, young women, and a few who, as teenagers, opted out of binary gender. I've co-facilitated workshops on what it means to grow from a boy, into a man, with a wide range of role models...
...and the results have been SO worthwhile. The results which I observe, in them, especially the ones who then volunteer, as adults, in the same programs. Also the results in myself. I can't change how I was raised, but my scars have healed much smoother, as an outcome of service to others.
