I find it amazing to see so many "releationship researchers" who still don't get, that Me2 was a point of no return.

What I find amazing, is that people don't get that men can actually deal with "the epidemic of loneliness" much better than women can.
A man is lonely, what will he do? Take up a hobby.
A woman is lonely, what does she do? Writes articles online questioning why she doesn't get cat-called anymore, and complaining that men need to do better so she can have someone to date.
At this point, I'm pretty sure even the "male loneliness epidemic" was a phrase conceived by people concerned for women's well being, not men. MGTOW has been around for decades, and nobody gave a crap. But for the last few years, feminists have started taking notice that there's less men interested in them. So suddenly "how do we pretend that we care?".
Suddenly someone figured out that for every man that is lonely and single, there's a woman that is lonely and single. Only in men's case, the "loneliness" is more of a "at this point I'm just giving up".
And people looking into the "male loneliness epidemic" are only interested in reversing this "giving up" mentality. Cause it would be trivial to make a man not-lonely. Date him. Go out with him. Befriend him.
But that's not they want. They just want men to work harder and harder for the sole benefit of women. So women can't be asked to just date any ol' lonely single man she finds. Instead, men need to be punished back into working their asses off, until a snotty woman goes "he's not really want I want, but I'll give it a try and maybe he manages to get a raise".

The answer is mostly gaslight now. Sure, there have always been a few girls here and there interested in gaming, or other male hobbies. Some of the vtubers are examples of that. Notice I say some. Cause there were very few examples, and they still don't get as invested in the hobby as men do.
But now there's this attempt at trying to make it seem like it was a 50/50 split in interest back then, or that it's a 50/50 split today. And it isn't.

Something else that would be interesting to analyze though is: how does mature women's interest in gaming (or other hobbies) compare to girls' interest. Cause I suspect as they grew older, there were women who didn't touch the hobby much (or at all) as children, but got into it later on. And it might still be that today's girls aren't any more interested in gaming than girls were a few decades ago.
