Actually I had a somehow similar discussion with my sister about masculinity where she also had this weird view of it, so I explained that:

Being there for those who you love, for your wife, kids, friends and extended family is

… the most masculine thing you can do as a man.

The other bullshit is just not as masculine as that. Don’t fall for the Andrew Tate’s and their insane definitions of masculinity.

Really, what’s a masculine hobby to them? Avoiding the kids because they are too childish? Chainsawing trees? Hanging out at the bar (without family)? Going out for smokes one day and never coming back?

Edit: my kid respects me because I have set myself up as a respectful individual. I own up to my failures, ask for help when needed (usually, I’m working on this), and treat them like a human.
