Andristrophic
Adjective, pronounced an-driss (like "misandrist") traw-fic (like "catastrophic"), IPA: ændrɪsstrɑfɪk
Exaggeratedly and harmfully (typically in a more self-destructive context) masculine (especially based off outdated or stereotypical ideas of masculinity), typically to hide, repress, or put down feminine or neutral traits out of a perceived notion by the andristrophic person that, if they don't conform to this harmful type of masculinity, they won't be a "man." Essentially the phrase "toxic masculinity" consolidated into one word.
A man who behaves in an andristrophic way is known as an andristrope (plural andistropes.) Something done in an overly masculine way, especially something that's traditionally neutral, is said to be done andristrophically.

Jennifer: Ugh, work was awful today.
Greg: What's up?
Jennifer: We got this new employee working with us on the Cap 2 team, and he's such an andristrophic asshole. He keeps trying to take on my unloading jobs since "a man should do it," but he gets all pissy whenever he has to so much as go stock one box of tampons. Something about how he "ain't no chick..."
Greg: It's a box of tampons. What is his damage? It's not like he's being told to use anything from the feminine care isle himself!
Jennifer: I think he had a shit sexist father who lived every day like it was the 50's but in all the wrong ways. Andristropes don't come out of nowhere, you know.
