I know this is likely rage bait or trolling but I’ll answer for those who are actually curious.
By experiencing a great childhood and a family life full of joy, respect, happiness and safety they will realize this:
Being there for those who you love, for your wife, kids, friends and extended family is much more important and more manly than chasing short lived pleasure just to see manly on the outside. Like cigars.
Taking responsibility, being reliable, being there for others can take many forms. And it’s what great men do. It’s what great people do in general.
And that can take many forms. Working a job, running a house hold, and so on.
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.

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:
… 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.
