Perhaps it's just me, but these have the exact same energy.

Eh nothing captures the toxic masculinity quite like holding a woman's neck to mansplain something to her.

I'm not defending this dude at all but some people just like it. My girlfriend has explicitly told me that she likes when I grab,/squeeze her neck. I'm also not a mansplaning douch though.

Yeah, my ex liked it too, but she explained that it was like an easy massage she could get me to give her in public.

Same reason for mine. That's why I often times will just grab her shoulders and lightly squeeze for a bit if we just have a minute and we're waiting for something. Easy to do and she enjoys it.

Does she make that uncomfortable face when you grab her neck in public?

Oh that's definitely true. I was just surprised to see something similar (especially the avoiding eye contact) in the animal kingdom.

I feel like the guy standing over the girl at a party with his hand on the wall above her head - to show "ownership" - is even more representative of the species.
