The comment on homoeroticism strikes me. It’s a sensitive subject but I think I get what you mean. A lot of the things “straight” guys say and do really gives me pause. Like even just the obsession with male genitalia, or the concept of “bromance”. I really think it’s the culture of patriarchial misogyny that’s pushing guys into resenting their honest feelings towards other men, and so they find culturally acceptable ways to feel intimate with men in a world that demands confirmity to heterosexuality. I think we’d have a lot more happy, loving bi/pan men in this world who were kinder to women and each other if we could wave a magic wand and make the patriarchy disappear.
