I'm not sure, but I might be able to shed some light on this growing up in a "boys" world and then coming out as trans and transitioning to female.
I have also spent 6 years in the Navy (on submarines in an all male environment) before I transitioned.
Toxic masculinity is a real thing, the amount of men don't cry, men don't show emotion, and the large amount of "locker room" talk involving treating women as sex objects was incredibility high.
I've been in these male spaces, not saying anything, but watching and I can truly tell you, it's completely disgusting.
In the end, I'm actually sad that most men don't feel like they can talk about their vulnerabilities and emotions. It's a hard world to live in like that.
