    My perception is that sex-starved males are seen as dangerous, and the fear of that easily translates into a stigma.

    I recall my recently-divorced friend (with a young daughter) trying to describe this to me: how almost overnight the girly sleepovers and socials went from common & spread across the homes to “silently forbidden” and unspokenly “anywhere but his house”. But he was the same guy as just days before, but (so the theory goes) the only change was that now people “knew” he was not being… pacified?
