Summary

This quote suggests that in American society, there is a strong belief in the masculine mystique, which portrays traditional masculine traits such as toughness and emotional reservation. As a result, it is uncommon for men to have close and vulnerable friendships where they openly share their feelings and experiences. The emphasis on conforming to these masculine norms contributes to a lack of intimate connections among men, highlighting the societal barriers that hinder the development of deep and authentic relationships.
