How could that change though? I can't imagine men not priding themselves on being masculine, seems like something innately male and as old as time
Homophobes are always either gays who haven't accepted themselves yet or straight guys who are not comfortable in their straightness.
It's about attitudes. When public attitudes to gay (and trans) people get better, it should help kill this hypermasculinity culture. It's about not seeing femininity as a bad thing.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
