You're missing it. What you do matters. How you behave matters. Men do not act like women, do explicitly feminine behaviors, and yet somehow retain a masculine spirit. You have actions, and consequences, or cause and effect, and you can't do and action and not get the effect.
Why on earth would a man ever care about what other people care about?
A man isn't what clothes they wear or what hair they have or what job they do. A man is strong because of his moral character. A protector, a provider, a caring and kind, dangerous person. He doesn't need external approval except from the family he serves while young, or the family he creates when grown.
Okay but we live in a society and depend on others constantly so of course a man is concerned with the opinions of others.
Pretty sure history is littered with tough guys who tried to force the world to bend solely to their will and it ends with them being isolated and killed.

You're peacocking in all the wrong ways. Externalizing your identity.
We live in a society where the external matters.
