Movies, politics and men’s fashion magazines are hinting that some progressive heterosexual men aren’t afraid to get a little touchy-feely with their fellow dudes. The phrase “man crush” or “bromance” is increasingly tossed around to describe male-to-male relationships that hover somewhere between platonic and romantic.
