you're just trying to dig into a non-existant grey area. It is indeed insulting a wonderful work of art by implying to male characters cannot have a beautiful close friendship. Especially since Tolkien describes those relationships as friendships. They are nothing more and nothing less, so why bother trying to make a fuss about something that isn't.
