Whatever men do. I cry, I laugh, I do x that’s a masculine behavior because I’m a man. Though I see this now in reality because of the gender ideologies. A man is a man. If a man wears a skirt it’s a man wearing it. The skirt isn’t wearing a man.

Go to r/AskMen they are used to this question and answer it daily.

Being a man and doing stuff you like to do, as long as it doesn't hurt others or yourself.

To me is that ''essence'' that is inside of men that differs from the ones women have.
It comes from evolution and/or whatever other belive you have about creation and the soul.
Its connected to male phenomena like testosterone that women dont have experience on.
Its not decided by society either way but its inside, its an inner private experience.
And it manifests in things that society maybe promotes them or degrades them, its up to you to decide within yourself wich ones are true.

It's a biological manifestation of the men's and their forefathers' (and foremothers') answers to the challenges universe offered them during the last 3.5 billion years. But it's also a social role that is strongly influence by evolution but not totally determined by it.

There's a lot of different meanings.

Character traits and behaviours typically associated with men
Traits and behaviours that are more common in men
The expectations on how men act and behave
The traits and characteristics of an 'ideal' man
The things men do to differentiate themselves from women
The socially constructed idea of what a man is.
etc

I think beeing gay still doesn't exclude beeing masculine. The 2 others can.

Not being gay, trans, whatever, and wearing women's clothing that's for sure.
