Fragile Masculinity 

This is a term used to describe a man who has a fragile sense of masculinity for whatever reason. It can be used for someone who tries too hard to fit the male stereotypes in fear of looking too feminine in front of society.
Jim: I wouldn't dare wear tight jeans, im scared that someone might think im gay.

Jordan: Dude, stop having such fragile masculinity and get over it. It doesnt matter how tight your jeans are, all that matters is how comfortable you are in them. Stop giving a shit about how 'manly' people think you are. Define 'manliness' through what you do, not through society's mindset.

Flamboyant Masculinity 

A cultural movement in which men use over-the-top fashion to express themselves. Through makeup, jewelry, and boob-windows, they enhance their masculinity.
