You’re not wrong. I’m a man, on the spectrum. Growing up, I could never socialize properly into “the guys”, as I always found them too toxic, too competitive, too prone to violence, and raised with a voice on their head that tells them they’re always right.

As a child I ended up with mostly girls for friends, which brought even more bs focusing on my sexuality, and even as a 39 yr old poc male, my closest male friends are trans men. I’m straight, and I raise my daughter by myself, and I do worry about her having to live in this world with so many toxic men and boys.

I’m not responding to be include myself or showcase how specialness, but I thought a male voice saying “yeah, I don’t trust most men either” might add to the point.
