I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."
The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

I will always be amazed at the ego of those who have not held public office before, or even attended a singular legislative hearing, or sat at a city council meeting, or even knocked on one (1!) constituent door, only to decide, “Yes. I will do it. I will run for Governor of the entire state.”

I agree it’s a bit unusual. But I would think the president has access to healthcare strategies that the average person just doesn’t have and the cost isn’t really an issue.
