Have you ever heard of a guy being called "gay" (or some related slur that doesn't bear repeating) as an insult because he's perceived as not masculine enough?
Stay-at-home dads, men who like to sew or knit, men who would rather resolve a conflict through reconciliation than violence or shouting. They're all thought of as lesser, as sissy or weak, because they don't measure up to the arbitrary ideal of what a man should be. Heck, sweet drinks are called "girly drinks" and men who want sugar with their booze are sneered at.
It's no longer socially acceptable for men to show emotions, and so they either do (and are thought of as womanly and therefore weak) or they don't (and bottle things up to rankle at the backs of their minds for years).
Sure, there are less examples of institutionalised sexism that negatively affect men than women, and men usually aren't affected nearly as badly or extensively than women, but in the end sexism is nasty for everyone and needs to die a fiery death.

Sugar with booze? Is that a thing?

I'm guessing cocktails? or wine coolers? "Girly" drinks?
