I agree. But I think to increase life expectancy in men it's important to look into the diverse causes instead of letting the discussion being guided by anti-feminists who really do not seem to put men's health and happiness first but rather their ideology.

Harping on one potentially non-deciding factor and leaving those factors that are known to be important behind because they don't fit their ideology is not helping men.

    Yep and going around arguing that women are more lonely doesn't add much to the discussion IMO. It's not a competition and the output of dying younger is the primary fact we know about gender health differences.

    It is a complicated discussion with a lot more inputs than just loneliness though. The anti feminist angle is kind of strange, never thought much of it.
