It is an attachment disorder, they do not believe in their own self worth so they overcompensate by surrounding themselves with the signifiers of manhood.
If they believed men, real men, should be sensitive then they would act as such to seek approval from the outside world. They are imitating what their culture tells them a real man should act like.
They are unaware of their own motivations, if those motivations are ever challenged in any meaningful way, that is, they feel like their insecurity will be exposed, they will lash out in blind rage.
