@starbreaker @DictionaryPlus I think the Salon article you shared put it best: "men desire the same level and type of intimacy in their friendships as women, but they aren’t getting it."
I've spent a great deal of time studying the effects of toxic masculinity on society as a whole...including its impact on other men. Seeing stuff like this doesn't really surprise me, although it does break my heart. :(
Thanks for sharing.
