Certainly not feminists. And never higher status men. Take a look at a male leader. Any one of the presidential candidates, for instance. Now take a closer look.
Leaders affiliate in all directions.
Or, at least, teams of men. If our academic scribblers were to take the perspective of a leader, they would begin to see lots and lots of high status men affiliating with lower status men, because, with the exception of moneyed moguls like publisher Steve Forbes, men can't elevate their status without the consent, support and active cooperation of other men. Men of both higher and lower status. Okay, so the feminist complaint that men are brutes who don't care much for, and who eschew lower status folk, is baloney. Now tell me why I should care.
