Raw aggression isn't the purest form of masculinity. Humans are more complex so express more complex masculinity. Cold violence vs impulsive violence.

Caesar being a leader was more advanced manly because he wasn't selected for having the greatest physical prowess - yet he was the deadliest man alive. 60 men can murder Caesar. Caesar can kill 430k Germani and enslave a million Celts.

There's a line there somewhere - Caesar isn't a Rust coder. Is Caesar more manly than Conan? I'd argue yes because he hews closer to the human masculine ideal of being a ruthlessly effective leader of men who deal violence.

Substitute Putin in that example if you prefer. It makes the same point more clearly I think. Putin isn't physically imposing but he's still imposing.
