I tried reading that book #BoyMom recently, and gave up in despair about 1/3 of the way through. There's a concerted effort on the part of many PMC women to make their boys socially, if not medically, female. (Sometimes it goes so far as transing them, but I'm talking about even upstream of that.)
Anuradha is dropping truth bombs about female-female friendship in the part near the end that discusses White Lotus. @Baz, if you want more info on this pattern, you might want to read Warriors and Worriers. Evolutionary social success strategies for women look very different than for men, and that has HUGE effects in platonic relationships. Reading that book was like getting a decryption code for tons of seemingly irrational behaviors (both male and female).
Great discussion!
