most men are socialized to ostracize themselves from other in a *slightly* roundabout way, it's not really surprising most can't let go of their close friends https://twitter.com/PallaviGunalan/status/1344288962030882817

the rightoids are gonna get all our boys™

admittedly since like 2018 there HAS been a shift in the way this issue is seen in some circles.
