Lots of conservatives believe the posing and preening aggression they display demonstrates toughness and manliness. These folks are consumed by this performative mindset but all they accomplish is death and destruction. Just look at how ALL fascist regimes revel in this nonsense yet consistently display either stagnation or collapse throughout history.
It's funny though that many of the greatest male teachers and models - MLK, Gandhi, and dare I say Jesus Christ - showed us the power of humble service towards others. They were and still are builders and protectors of morality and goodness. This tradition is what Obama demonstrated and Joe Biden will continue. When you compare and contrast the bloviating stupidity and massive incompetence of the last two GOP presidents vs. the maturity, focus, and nation-building of Obama and Biden, this is when we see what being a true man really is.
