I have no idea what the OP was, but for the most part, I feel like gender has become such a fluid concept in the 21st century that it's increasingly difficult to define masculinity or femininity without offending someone or the other. If positive masculinity was about humility and kindness and stuff like that, as some people on this thread have suggested, then there'd be radical feminists claiming that women are all those things too (and yes, they'd completely be missing the point). And personally I don't feel like it's necessary to define masculinity or femininity. It's like race and birthplace/country/nationality - something we're born with. Personally I've never thought 'I'm a female, so I can't/shouldn't/wouldn't usually do this.' or 'I'm a female, so I can/should/would usually do this'. It's always been 'I'm me, so I will (or won't) do this'. Gender just doesn't seem important to me.
(I understand that in theory masculine or feminine refers more to sex than gender, but it seems to be used in a gender related way in reality. )
Again, I'm doing a terrible job of explaining my view, but I hope someone gets it.

The word bed actually looks like a bed.
