That's happens to the oppressed. When a society divorces you from your manhood you must constantly try to reprove it. This isn't a new idea.
Is masculinity a social construct?

Yes, the over emotional murders are because of hypermasculinity and the fragility of masculinity.
You can prove your manhood in a fight. Dudes killing each other best user they are over emotional like females
Lions do it as do apes. Are they emotional? No they're males. I'm not saying it's right but nature dictates that shyt.
Most hypermasculine dudes are raised by women.
Most hypermasculine men are "over emotional" they just don't know of any constructive ways to express their emotions because they've been socialized to think that emotions are not masculine which would be laughable if it didn't result in so much harm being done.
Again. A society has divorced them of true masculinity. The Willie Lynch letter outlines some of this. Also you have a lot of mothers trying to raise husbands and not sons.
Is testosterone a social construct?
Anyways I don't consider this masculinity...
But instead this...
Many people can probably beat the second man easily in a one on one fight compared to the first guy, but I consider the second guy more "dangerous" and "alpha".

Kinda, because testosterone is a real thing and greatly affects human behaviour. It contributes to the concept of masculinity I'd say; which varies from culture to culture, time period to time period.
People gotta accept that all these things are a little bit of both - nature and nurture, innate and socialized.

I say a little from column A, a little from column B.....biologically men have a Johnson women have a vagina....by having those organs certain hormones dominate the particular organism...The law of polarity states that there has to be opposing sides have to exist for equilibrium.... However a man learns his role thru socialization.... Personality is inherited, behavior is learned....the spirit is sexless tho which is all the more intriguing..
I gave you one and David Reimer is a perfect example of how masculinity is something that we are born with and we will lash out if we are tried to be taught otherwise
The feminin men are a small group not the norm
That was far from perfect but I'm not surprised that men start grasping at straws when asked to define something that's difficult to define, we had another poster a few pages back linking to a white supremacist website to bolster his terrible argument.
Thats cause thats not considered masculine in the hood.
There are plenty of places in the world where men wear what you would call a "skirt"
