I have but usually from bitchy women. I'm confident enough in my own masculinity to wear an apron when I cook so they don't usually bother me.

I'm confident enough in my masculinity to carry a cat shaped hand bag and wear a rainbow camo hoodie. But then I'm not really that masculine, so that's fine I guess

I think Zack Braff said it best on his Scrubs podcast. Paraphrasing terribly, playing a sensitive leading role in a setting where traditionally you saw people like George Clooney did a lot to help men be more comfortable with themselves.

Being "masculine" is being comfortable and confident in who you are and not letting the naysayers get you down.
