Masculinity is an ideology of patriarchal societies that generally justifies the advantages that men have over non-men systemically. It maintains its power through constant propaganda throughout the society similarly, but not exactly, to whiteness with race.

That's an odd definition. Most people refer to that as "the patriarchy," iirc. What lead you to defining it that way? And if I may ask, what word do you use to describe behavior commonly associated with men?

Those are just gender roles, usually socially enforced by society at large.

And? That doesn't preclude masculinity from referring to behaviors (and traits, I forgot to mention that originally) that some society commonly associates with men. I'm still curious how you arrived at your definition, because that's a very uncommon usage.
