Assuming she passes as a man visually enough, then her perception of how women treat men isn't far off. Women have done that to themselves.
I can also see that she has zero understanding of male-male connections. Women only look thru the lens of what they expect as "being soft with each other" through a female ideal. Men trying to "emotionally support" someone going through a rough situation might be as simple as going out on the lake to hang out fishing, disconnecting, barely discussing at all, and not prying at it or making fun if he's a little upset. It's not expected, necessary, or required to be a session of awwww your poor baby, let cry with you, awww lets cuddle give me a hug awwww.
To give a funnier example of what I'd call the understanding among men. If you're walking along somewhere with a friend and trip and fall flat on your face, the process is check make sure you're ok, help you up, then make fun of you for being a dumbass and not looking where you were walking. That's the expectation that men want.
I've straight up had women make fun of "weird" men to me who were minding their own business. It's very jading as a somewhat attractive dude because I'm not a sociopath. It's like damn this dude didn't even do anything and you're heartless enough to talk shit because he's not what you prefer. Same chick's would swear horrendous looking women were beautiful

If your buddy doesn't bring it up himself, he doesn't want to talk about it. Simply giving him space to either not think about it, or be away long enough to process it in relative peace is worth its weight in gold in a male friendship.
This is something women never can understand, they always need someone hearing them talk before they can even think it themselves.
The understood message: "Hey man, I'm here for you if you need to talk or need a hand"
Men really REALLY appreciate it when going through hard times. No one needs to say it (although that's OK too) just knowing who's got your back is important.

She can even be there, experience the event, and not understand its meaning.
Nothing might be said when two men share a beer quietly, but an important message is communicated.
Only men understand this.
