> I feel like a lot of people that aren't masculine men grew up seeing, both in their lives and as depicted in popular media, masculine men as bullies. As such a huge portion of society - women and men who aren't masculine - grows up with a negative opinion of masculinity. I could buy this except for the fact that I think there are a lot of "masculine men" who aren't "bros". The word "bro" brings to mind specific (negative) traits of anti-intellectualism, party hard mentalities, and rudeness.
