straight men don't talk about their own masculinity... why because there is a huge stigma upon discussing it... the stigma was there in the olden days too, but after a society's westernization/ heterosexualization/ modernization, this stigma becomes extreme as it is now associated with 'gay', as more and more 'gays' start using it to define -- ironically, their femininity. In any case, masculinity has a relationship with intmacy between men which is stigmaitzed in heterosexualized spaces as queer, adding to the stigma about discussing masculinity.
How about using the word 'straighthood' or manhood.
