My dude, you are the one here basically claiming that the only reason men are lonely is them being bad hygiene women haters. It's literally misogynistic.
Blaming a societal breakdown of connection and interaction on men is just as misogynistic as blaming it on women. Stop being a part of the problem.
If this meme was focused on incel-dom then i would agree with you, but it literally states "there is a loneliness epidemic", and trying to imply that people who are lonely are incels is outright wrong. Many men (and also women) are lonely, but not because they don't "have the basics right", nor do they blame women in any way. Societal loneliness is a real and growing problem that affects more than incels.
It is using male loneliness as the punchline of the joke. If it is meant as "the male loneliness epidemic is the only reason I'm single" then I have no problem with that, but currently it reads as if the loneliness epidemic is an invention of incels
