Platonic Opposite Gender Friendships

Aside from the fact that there is objectively nothing sexual about anything other than sexual behaviors and sexual intentions, the criteria irrationalists have for mistaking platonic friendships between men and women for sexual relationships are wildly arbitrary and inherently assumed (a false thing can be believed, but it cannot be logically proven, so it can only be assumed).  Things that do not have any inherent sexual expression in them are the targets of slander and suspicion by these deluded people.  Sex-obsessed to the point of reductionistic fallacies, they think men and women are practically different species instead of humans with somewhat different anatomy and physiology.

Texting or calling three days a week instead of once or twice might trigger them.  Men and women, especially separately married men and women, hugging each other with sincere affection as opposed to quick, rare shoulder pats or dispassionate waves might strike someone as "dangerous" or "sexually charged."  Sharing personal details about one's feelings, past, and desires between opposite gender friends might make the irrationalists uneasy.  Seeing one's opposite gender friends in swimwear or finding their bodies attractive, which is not the same as sexy, is a popularly condemned or cautioned thing.

Though one could find someone sexy in only a detached sense, such as by recognizing why other people might be sexually attracted to them, it is not as if sexual attraction between male and female friends--which absolutely is not present by default--disrupts the relationship or their potential dating/marriage relationships unless they were handled in a certain way.  Being sexually attracted to someone does not exclude befriending them or remaining close friends, but it is not something men and women universally experience towards each other.  There are many, many reasons why the idea that men and women cannot or should not seek out platonic (or even flirtatious) friendships is logically false.

To make this even more irrational, many people who oppose or discourage opposite gender friendships often particularly stereotype the men in these relationships as ultimately wanting sex or romantic attention and only using the friendships as a way to position themselves "favorably" for these things.  There is nothing about being a man that makes one hypersexual, promiscuous, emotionally immature, uninterested in women are humans and not solely as attractive bodies or flirtation/sexual partners, and so on.  There is also nothing about being a woman that necessitates any of these qualities being received from or directed towards men.

People who oppose platonic friendships act like men and women have no reason to interact outside of sexual motivations, professional necessity, or superficial "politeness."  Of course men and women can relate to each other as fucking humans and individuals.  Gender has nothing to do with rationality, worldview, personality, talents, or shared interests.  Of course men and women are all people that cannot possibly have distinct obligations except for where literal anatomy might be concerned (as with Biblical circumcision), and all stereotypes are just ideas rooted in the falsity of non sequiturs and the fallacy of composition.  While friendships between rationalists and anti-rationalists are friendships between people who fundamentally do not relate on the most important levels, for they are not people who are not intellectual/moral equals, this is not so with male-female friendships.
