I think it is interesting and valuable to get different takes on masculinity. This is written by a man from a Christian, working-class background. He discusses what masculinity means there and raises what I see as a valid question: given how masculinity is perceived, why do they think Trump is masculine? Here is how he paints the picture of masculinity:

I am a son of the working class, and I know these cultural standards. The men I grew up with think of themselves as pretty tough guys, and most of them are. They are not the products of elite universities and cosmopolitan living. These are men whose fathers and grandfathers came from a culture that looks down upon lying, cheating, and bragging, especially about sex or courage.

...they are men like my late father and his friends, who understood that a man’s word is his bond and that a handshake means something. They are men who still believe in a day’s work for a day’s wages. They feel that you should never thank another man when he hands you a paycheck that you earned. They shoulder most burdens in silence—perhaps to an unhealthy degree—and know that there is honor in making an honest living and raising a family.

I won't go through the myriad of examples of why our highest elected official fails to measure up to these standards, I think we all know enough by now.

I think the more interesting take here is how these men perceive masculinity, how closely it ties to what we hear as the default masculine norms, and how far they stray from that in their choices.
