It's not about sexual orientation but rather a twisted loyalty to male dominance that shapes their lives.
Danish shares his personal observations and experiences, painting a vivid picture of how these men operate within a fraternity of male validation. Narcissistic men often prioritise the opinions of their male peers over their partners, leading to emotional dependence on male approval. They may outwardly display affection towards women but treat them as lesser beings in their minds.
