Okay, it's still no, but it's a multifaceted answer to your multifaceted question.
First, consider his former religion. Maybe I'm misremembering Mormon teachings, but I seem to recall that men are revered more for whatever reason, and Mormon women are expected to obey the men in their lives (at least the older ones). This may be the origin of his belief that men control the autonomy of women in their lives (e.g., Taylor Swift's dad). This must have had a hand in forming his worldview.
Second, he has his delusion of being the only nice guy in the world (him an every other incel online.) When he sees a beautiful woman with another man, he seethes because, in his mind, he has this script of how the man is a total asshole and only Russ can save her.
Which leads nicely to my next point: he has a mental script in his head of how the world works. It's a very simple script: he is nice to girl, girl suck him his penis. When it's not followed, he tries to guilt the girl into sucking him his penis. When that doesn't work, he moves on (or sues if it's Taylor Swift.) He may well have some kind of autism because he stubbornly follows not only this recipe, but another that (we assume) got him what he wanted as a child- namely, tattle to an authority figure that someone's being meeeeeeeean, and the authority figure will make things go in Russ's favor. It doesn't work that way in real life, though, but he sticks to the script nonetheless. And it's not just with girls or tattling. He has a mental script for everything (a good example of his mental script would be after Skordas whooped his ass the first time. Russ waited for Skordas, expecting to shake hands like a gentleman, but Skordas just blew past him, without even looking his way. Russ was genuinely confused.)
Fourth, while he wants a woman for both sex and status, we do have proof he's solicited men for sex (and given a handjob in return for a ride to a brothel), so yes, he does view men as a means to an end (that end getting sexual pleasure.)
Fifth, I do believe he had male acquaintances at one point, but he cut them off. They tried to warn him what going down the path of the lolcow would do, and he cut them out of his life entirely, because Russ knows best.
Finally, he may in fact be afraid of men because men typically are larger and stronger than women, and thus more able to forcefully assert their will. I don't think we've seen any proof of this, but feel free to correct me.
