Homosociality, boo!

This post takes a long look at male homosocial interactions and isn't happy with what it sees. Do you think that this dynamic affects your own relationships? What are the homosocial norms for females? The Caroline in the City anecdote could just as easily been scripted for three women; lots of women espouse similar post-relationship standards, and few feel that it's necessary to inform their exes of them, since the relevant parties they wish to discourage are their female friends.
