it would be nice to have a search engine that intentionally omits or devalues results with a lot of seo

very true; i wonder if it's related to the rise of public performativity caused by the internet/global real-time communication. if in the past men were primarily performing masculinity and upholding male gender norms for the people around them, while learning masculinity from celebrities and men around them, it seems possible that modern men have formed a new defensive, emotionally suppressive attitude towards performing masculinity on account of the sheer quantity of people they're now performing for and learning from.

not sure if it's technically correct to call it a gender norm per se, but the way in which cishet men are conditioned to approach personal relationships with other cishet men in general can be very frustrating. i think it's sort of a compounding effect of various societal norms regarding what is considered "masculine and respectable" that causes a lot of friendships amongst men, and amongst cishet men especially, to be very shallow and impersonal. relationships like this are often more socially draining than anything else, and it just creates this depressing culture of emotionally illiterate men who only talk to other emotionally illiterate men.

on a personal level, it's straightforward enough now for me to recognize shallow friendships and to build deeper ones, but i fear that because i grew up within that culture prior to gaining awareness of the patriarchy or the privilege i have in society, i have internalized enough of it that i still haven't learned to open up enough and be as good of a friend as i want to be.
