We have threads saying masculinity can be negative. We have threads promoting the emasculating of men and saying they should wear makeup. Here's a thread on the virtues of masculinity in the Christian tradition.

Reflection: Feast of St. Joseph, A Tribute to Masculinity
NASHVILLE, TN (Catholic Online) - Without a doubt, secular feminism is on a mission to erase masculinity from social consciousness, or at least to feminize men into utter impotence. I speak generally, but no less truly, when I maintain that women, in action contrary to their very nature, have turned on men to devour them in their shortcomings and faults rather than working to nurture the fulfillment of their potential.
Speaking in strictly evolutionary terms, science teaches us that men possess superior strength and the ability to widely spread biological seed in order to carry forth genetic information. Men can, however, use this basic, natural co-creative potential in ways that objectify and dominate women for selfish pursuits.
St. Joseph, however, is God's answer to that proclivity, and His absolute stamp of approval on masculinity. His presence and role in the salvation of the human family rebukes the satanic influences in our society that motivate female contempt for men, because he shows us why it takes a man's man to spread his essence all the way into eternity by pursuing his wife without objectifying or dominating her.
