It's no real surprise we've reached this point in society, where "masculinity" has become this inscrutable, arcane concept most people can barely grip their fingers around. Take Xianity, or any form of Abrahamism. It's steeped in so much hatred of women and femininity. In Islam, women are simply straight up considered half the worth of men and are regarded as cattle and property. It's really not any better in Xianity, and it doesn't take long for you to find quotes straight from the Bible of how women "must be silent" and beaten if they ever step out of line. Imagine where any of us would be if Maxine "stayed silent" as the Bible commanded, by virtue of her not being a man.
The grand irony is, for how masculine dominated Abrahamic religion is, through and through, with the Jew God itself, to their Priesthoods, to their ethics and morals, the reality is, it does not create or even preach for strong men. The Bible is the first thing to tell men to get down on their knees, consider themselves less than dirt, turn the other cheek, betray their families, give up everything they have, and turn away from their ancestors. There's nothing "masculine" about it, ultimately. These religions have been creating weakened men long, long before the current era and its notions of "toxic masculinity". I could almost imagine these words escaping the lips of some weak chapel monk with a bald spot shaved into his head, upon seeing a Norse Pagan male for the first time. Xians and their ilk were the first leftist soyboys, and don't ever let them forget this fact.
Sadly, in my experience, it's often been the most tryhard "machismo" types who have been the most depressing failures of men of all. Take movements like "Return of the Kings", any incel bait shitfest, and watch a clip. Take away the beards they try to grow, they're a fairly pathetic looking bunch. Self-entitled, whiny blowhards playing pretend that they're uber masculinists. They've all grouped themselves together under the pretence that, because women don't want them and can see through their act, that something MUST be wrong with women, and so women must be forced to marry them and be legally rapeable in marriage. For how much they bitch and moan about how "weak" men are these days, the irony is, they fail to see how they encapsulate almost everything wrong with them in the first place.
Personally, I think being attracted to "strong people" is natural for either gender. Strength is represented in so many ways, and not just the physical. For me it represents a tempered willpower, and a "strong" woman is most definitely one fit to raise children.
As Cobra says, Maxine was a great example of a woman who represented a great many traits exhibited by people of either gender. She studied martial arts for years, by her own confession, and given this, her physical development and ability to doubtlessly take care of herself in this regard would have absolutely appalled a Muslim, who thinks a woman is only a woman if they're a shivering, garbage bag clad weakling who needs her husband to do everything up to and including opening the door to receive the mail.
There are general statements on what it means to be a good man. Someone has already used Hitler as an example, and I fully agree. There was a sensitivity to Hitler, and not at all a weakening one, but an empathic, understanding one. As someone said, he adored the arts and loved nature and animals. He was one of the only men of his time who truly gave any care at all for animal welfare and wellbeing. You would have "masculine" idiots now who would try to say this are effeminate traits and therefore bad.
Truth is, there's nothing "manly" about being a grug caveman idiot who's masculinity is so pathetically fragile that the only thing keeping it together is arbitrary claims about what does or doesn't make a man. I've seen someone say "a real man does not drink milk" with a straight face. The fuck does that even mean? Point is, you get a lot of people who think they're a man, because they beat their wives and so on. But there's nothing manly about being completely out of control of your own emotions that you lash out in these ways. Xianity and its ilk have completely bewildered men to the point that they'll try to grasp at anything so long as it makes them feel more "masculine" than someone else, because the alternative, ie, having any semblance of willpower, is simply too hard.
Moreover, on top of the virtues attributable to gender, there are, of course, virtues unique to you. At the end of the day, not every man is the same, and that's how things are meant to be. We are not Communists, spouting how all things and people are equal in every way. There are general virtues that all people can aspire to, such as the possession of strong will and bodies (and no, your genetic profile does not forbid you from physical strength. From the bearded 6'5 male of natural girth to the 5'8 male of leaner builds and smoother features, ANYONE is capable of fitness, strength and martial prowess), but there are also individual virtues, and the differences in perfection that can be displayed by two different people of high advancement.
You can see such mentalities reflected in our own Ancient Theologies. Our Gods are perfect, each and every one, but perfect in ways unique to them. Azazel and Beelzebul are two perfected males, and represent the absolute pinnacle of what a man can strive to be. But looking up from our perspective, in their own perfect ways, they represent their own virtues unique to themselves. This is the point. After knowing what it means to be the perfect man, the next, more subtle step is learning how to be the perfect YOU.
