Women have never and can never understand male heterosexual friendships. They view the world through the politics of sex and "brotherhood" doesn't factor into that. Gay men, having been adopted fully into our gynocentric society, who accept all its feminized presuppositions, act largely the same way as a woman. They are slaves to their desires and fully inhabit an existence predicated on sexual politics.
It's no wonder why neither group can write male friendships: relationships built on true equality, fellowship, and loyalty are as foreign to them as not fucking something.
Bret Easton Ellis being gay also explains why he couldn't write Patrick Bateman as having any male friends. Bateman isn't the one who is friendless: the author's self-insert is.
