I can remember a college professor scolding his male students for hanging out with each other outside of class: "Men don't have friends. We have business contacts. Grow up!" He wasn't the least bit bothered by his female students befriending each other.

Men are just as crippled by gender roles as women used to be. The difference is that few people want to recognize this or address it.
