Abstract

Although popular culture contrasts men and women as opposites, cross-gender friendships between the sexes are thriving.

I argue that we should expand our contexts for understanding cross-gender friendships from dyads or paid bonds to include men and women comrades, coworkers, in-laws, exes, and members of other mixed groups.
