Scene from another boys hostel in India. Students hostels are amongst the last bastions of men's spaces, in a world which is almost totally heterosexualised, where men, even in the West get a chance to be with other men without the presence of women.
Just look at how affectionate these regular guys (what the west calls straight) are and how happy being with each other. In men's spaces they give a lot of expression to their sexual need for other men, without acknowledging this desire, but as soon as they come out of it, they wear their 'heterosexual' masks that claims they've no sexual interest in men, whatsoever.
That's why, when the forces of heterosexualisation break men's spaces and force these men out of them, the straight men are rendered helpless to claim or save their spaces. Unless they are empowered to say that they don't need women -- at least not in all their spaces -- they will never be able to save their spaces that they so badly need to live life as per their nature.
