MODERATORS
In a vacuum, your post implies we should stop giving birth to boys as often as girls on a pure ethical basis to minimize the amount of miserable lonely people. Like, abort 75% of all male babies or if abortion is too yucky for some of you use some kind of geneforge to make female births 5x as likely.
How on earth does that make sense? You're just creating an extreme surplus of miserable lonely women.
Note the "In a vacuum" and "implies". Based on the idea that ~20-30% of men "reproduce". Which isn't really something I care about specifically to increase, but the implication is that most men are lonely while most women are not. And that men should just "own it" or whatever.
Taken at face value the solution isn't that men just need to pull themselves up by their boot straps, this is a systemic problem that can't be fixed by individualistic solutions.
If I remember correctly, there is research to strongly suggest that women also tend to be much happier alone than men are.
I am not surprised that I got so heavily down voted, but I am disappointed that I only got one reply. My intent was to spur some deeper discourse.
