I hate that you're right. And I hate that it feels like it's getting worse - that we're backsliding on some of these subjects that require care and empathy for our fellow humans. Men deserve to be vulnerable and open and be supported as well.
Certainly on an individual level, I've had these types of connections with men. It's powerful and I hold those memories very close and dear. That's hard to extrapolate out to the larger population in text though.
