I take it that machoism is an Anglicised version of the Spanish machismo.
My late father was a very pragmatic individual, appearing to be
undemonstrative and usually impassive in the face of emotive
issues, but he certainly could never be described as machismo.
I don't believe then that a lack of visible emotions is any singular
indicator of a typical macho man.
In Spain and a lot of Latinx communities it's regarded as a lot more
than simply a lack of emotion. Machismo is seen as a culture that puts
masculinity as the standard, and therefore puts men in positions of
dominance and superiority over women.

I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
