13325908, is it fair to ascribe these behaviors to masculinity?

"The objectification, commodification and exploitation of war, adventure (like stanley and livingstone), racial domination, religious dogma (through prosperity preaching), and of course sexual conquest, are all aspects of masculinity"

From my reading all of these behaviors come from insecurity which is not a gendered thing. I can see though how through the lens of race these behaviors could be believed to be masculine (and thus toxic) the root seems to be insecurity though.

Rhetorically speaking why not deal with the root?
