If only they could listen to feminists and see the actual (self-imposed) problem
So say I'm lonely because I have few friends I can barely afford to meet.
How can feminists help me?
Online table top RPGs. All of my (mostly male) gaming buddies are feminists, and they help me be less lonely. You can play for free with very little effort.
Except time is not "free". When someone says they can't afford hanging out they usually mean they don't have time, not that they don't have petty cash to spend on a weekend.
The person I responded to said nothing about why they couldn't afford to meet. So I interpreted it as the common usage of it to mean financially. If someone can't afford a few hours a week when they are lonely to get online and play a game, well, that sucks, and I can't help them from this side of my screen. So I offered an idea as the only help I can give.
