That’s a nice test, it is indeed some odd imbalance that it seems to be normalized that women being more “close” and open among each other in various kinds of ways is considered normal, while in men it is raising eyebrows.

As if any form of “closeness” is branded as feminine and men who are acting in similar ways are either considered either gay or perverted.

The toxic emotionless, distanced sociopathic alpha male stereotype somehow still shaping our feelings about “masculinity” on a deep level, even if we consider ourselves to be progressive. And of course we see our roles of being a father or a husband through that distorted lens of unwritten expectations deep in our subconscious.
