Why not? Believing a man and woman can't be friends is just ignorant. This is no different than believing a gay man wants to have sex with any man who crosses his path. Growing up, I had many female friends, most of which I didn't want to pursue a relationship with (others, I'll admit, I did, and I was ultimately shut down). In fact, I just reunited with one who I hadn't seen in a little over a year, and she is, without a doubt, one of the most reliable and trustworthy friends I've ever had — I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything, let alone the complicated implications of sex between friends.
