So when I stated an example what a women would do (the one you took as an insult, like... a woman. :D) it literally was about the way women express themselves vs men (don't) express themselves. In the very same situation. And that's why you can't swich any of the characters to a woman. beause it's written just right, as men usually handle these situatuons. And it's rare, because most Bl-s don't care about to foloow the realistic gender-based traits and dynamics, it's written from a women point of view, with a woman brain, because the creators (and the readers) are mostly women.
And that's the reason you barely know any BL where the MC is not the bottom... it's almost always about them, their problems, insecurity, a lot of them are literally as feminine as they allowed to be without bo***. And Ml (who we mostly see only through the eye of the MC) is always as masculine as they alowed to be without breaking the universal "fine man" cliche (no beard, no fat, etc), they're always tall, handsome, has a great body, etc, it's literally a gteenage wet-fantasy...
This BL is a rare exception, and not just because the psychical traits of Ho, who is hella masculine too, but because the whole setting is refused to please the female readers, and focus on how two men actually get along and love each other.
Not how women think they do, but how they actually do.
