I think that’s the reason why these kinds of derogatory statements are made. It’s because masculinity is the sole identity of the fascist (aside from nationalism). Obviously, if you have masculinity be your main ideology, you are a problematic person.
E.g. calling the proud boys “gravy seals” doesn’t make me upset, because I don’t care if I’m fat or not, and I don’t really subscribe to machiavellianism. They, internally, do and being mocked is an affront to their ideology.
