I think the important thing here is that there’s absolutely no reason it HAS to be this way. These aren’t intrinsic properties of male and female friendships. They are driven primarily by cultural factors and have changed significantly even over recent history.
I’m just saying the cultures arise from the people. There’s a reason things are the way they are and it’s not some evil corporation or government trying to oppress us. At least in the west. Can’t quite say that about China or other Communist regimes.
Things are the way they are because people are forced into the culture they were born into and are pressured at every angle to stay that way or face social backlash.
I got called gay cause I got too excited while talking to one of my friends. Because it’s a common culture trait in America that any overly positive emotion towards another guy means your a sissy boy
They called you gay not because they thought you were homosexual but as an offhanded insult. The two definitions have been disconnected for quite a while.

Where the hell do you think cultural factors come from?
Where do you? Do you think that all societies in the world have the same culture as you?

I mean, no, the definitions are not disconnected at all. Gay was used as an insult because it meant homosexual.
Was.
Only because the term has mostly fallen out of use. If you still use “gay” as an insult, it absolutely is still homophobic.
Men and women are mentally different and it has nothing tobdo with culture.
