The MRA types think that men are owed affection, companionship, and love. And society must change (revert) to accommodate them. So in that since, "male loneliness" is a stalking horse for loss of status and a return to traditional gender rolls. The radicals in this movement just wanna go back farther. To the 50s! The seventeen fifties.
But even if your not a chud, individualism and alienation have created a circumstance where forming and maintaining human relationships isn't valued or supported. And men suffer more because they lack the institutional support of feminism.
Women got Judith Butler to tell them that gender was something they owned and controlled. Men got Jordan Peterson to tell them that gender is a prison and if women don't get back in their cells, we're all doomed.
