      There is a male loneliness problem. The meme is making fun of the toxic dickheads that are part of the problem and lack the self awareness to realize it.

      “Why don’t the people I treat like shit like me?!”

        You’re reading it as being directed toward toxic men only, I’m reading it as blaming the male loneliness epidemic on men in general being toxic.

          Well, that still ain’t wrong… men are, in fact, generally toxic.

          • That’s just boys being boys
          • boys picking on you means he likes you
          • can you get me a beer
          • well, akshully, this really means…
          • Is it your time of the month again?

            Yeah, quoting a few things said by or about the worst possible guys in the world really makes a solid rational point there. Almost as smart as pointing out a few black dudes in prison to prove black people are criminals. Just all-around fucking genius level there, congrats!
