Yeah, men policing other men's commitment to masculinity, by mocking and putting others down and being violent, is an almost universal thing.

And also a disease. And it shouldn't exist.

(I'm not implying you're saying it should. I'm just stating it shouldn't)

I remember at my first job we had a party. I played with the 10 years old daughter of the boss. Some guy was telling boring and exaggerated stories from his military service. Another guy told me i'am not particularly manly for drawing something with the little girl instead of listening to whatever.

Still makes me chuckle that his understanding of masculinity revolves around pointless affirmative rituals than providing for your family and community.
