Great conversation! I am also a hsp male. But i don't agree on the fact that masculinity and femininity is social construct. I think it's more of an energy that people have the exists in the nature and whats masculine energy and what's feminine energy can't be changed because it's based in nature. Isn't it possible to be man that accepts that he has a feminine side which is the sensitive side and still have some traditional masculinity like courage, leadership, strenght, independence without surpressing your sensitivity? I think it's possible. I understand though that it can get toxic if you have too much masculinity and no femininity, never allowed to be vulnerable and never seek any healthcare but I still think you can have some traditional masculinity and accept your sensitivity.
