Only if your conception of masculinity is stupid. There are plenty of manly role models out there, we've just largely decided not to pay them much attention.

The manliest man I can think of: Norm Abram. His achievements:

  • Made a living wearing flannel shirts

  • Excellent beard

  • Distinguished service award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology

  • Built a sailboat

  • said "Not roman orgy, roman ogee" on national television and got away with it

I guess you got off the hamster wheel at some point. I imagine trans men being faced with this stuff.. That's not to say there's no toxic stuff on the femme side of things.
