It's very handwave-y; I think I would mind it more were it not for the rather less unfortunate wording in the Friendship chapter of The Four Loves, where he goes something along the lines of "I'm sure women have strong friendships like that as well but I can only comment on the male side of it." It feels like an echo of the same sentiment, and now I wonder in what order those two books came - I believe HHB was earlier, which would make sense.
