If you take a list of traditionally 'manly' activities, like woodworking and growing a beard,
then you subtract everything that women can do just as well as men - there are many skilled female woodworkers, we don't want them to feel unwelcome in the woodworking community, and woodworking doesn't make them any less feminine;
after doing so, your list of 'manly' activities might be quite short
and dominated by the toxic and the tautological, because everything else, like woodworking, has been removed.
Personally I don't see things as that binary, but I can understand why some people might.
