It's a mistake (or intentionally othering) to malign something like "traditional masculinity", which many people identify as a set of qualities about themselves that they enjoy, rather than just pointing out the _specific things_ about "traditional masculinity" that are considered harmful. I like being traditionally masculine, personality, I consider some of the personality traits I associate with it as virtuous and even help guide me in daily life.
It's also helpful to enemies of feminism and modern thought on gender roles: now all I have to say is "see, look, they are calling what you are a personality disorder!" and I can convince them to dismiss the entire movement whole cloth.
