      Is the lonely man painting his clown life in each step? No. He is just lonely as he hasn’t done the first 3 steps

          It is how he got there, that is the premise of the clown painting meme

            Exactly my point, the meme insinuates that the only way men become lonely is that they hate women, which is not true and is a harmful generalisation.

              I don’t see it that way, to me it is showing how a certain type of man becomes lonely. The other type would be 1. small social circle (real or interwebs) 2. Lonely. And no face painting, because he’s not a clown, he just hasn’t met a match
