this is interesting. I do realize that masculinity is defined by social norms not by "Biological" urges.

On top of this, I've noticed that men were not obsessed with sports during that time but more in arts, literature, and culture.

Which cultures are still open with physical affection between men? I guess in some European countries?

I agree with this. I also don't 100% believe that "Men/women are wired to act the way they do because of (biological) reason"

What people fail to realize is that cultural norms have greatly shaped the way we think too.

it's kind of fascinating how culture and society can change. Luckily classic books can give us a glimpse of how people lived in the past.

Ohh so it was also socially accurate. I thought the characters were meant to be that way and not because it's the reflection of society. But It turns out men were really more open back in the day.
