the not so great societal one (that has been nurtured mostly for recruiting for wars) is quite sick-. ultra competitiveness, top dog, belittling, beat downs and berating, insensitivity, cold, machine like, might of physical power and dominance. I think I just described the whole bush administration (and previous power wielders, as this is nothing new).

but the day to day masculinity is not so complicated at all. Just stand up to bullshit whenever you can - even if you get called names that attack or threaten your sexuality and male 'rights'. There are many many real masculine men out there and it's too bad that the loud mouthed puffing brayer aholes get to define the word.
