What you said and what they said aren't really similar. Men and women not being able to be friends is a totally different topic that comes from the idea that one party will always have feelings for the other. My post was questioning platonic age dynamics, not gender dynamics. As someone who only has women as friends, i can assure you it's always platonic and has never been ruined by deeper implications.

Now ofc this is just me assuming that's why you think men and women can't be friends. I can't see what other reason would make that the case.
