Maybe a ‘real man’ is the guy who stops to help someone change a tire, when the stranded motorist isn’t a pretty 5’6” blonde with big boobs, or the bloke who mows his neighbour’s lawn for free because the neighbour is an elderly pensioner.
Or the ‘real man’ could be the one who doesn’t care about someone else’s gender, skin tone, accent, or sexual habits, as long as that someone is a good person.
A ‘real man’ doesn’t beat his kids or his wife, doesn’t abuse animals, understands that the woman who rejects him isn’t a lesbian, and doesn’t think there’s such a thing as ‘woman’s work’.
There’s a difference between ‘manliness’ and ‘machismo’.

I think you've got the makings of a country music song there.
You've obviously alienated a chunk of the demographic with:
"understands that the woman who rejects him isn’t a lesbian"
I think you should record it as it is though
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
