Joe Biden embodied many of the classic aspects of masculinity I find valuable- love for his family, moral fortitude (specifically, the ability to do the right thing instead of the thing-that-looks-right, see the Afghanistan pullout or his early support for gay marriage), as well as the classics like physical fitness, style, propriety and getting things done. The people running the algorithms hate this, and so you're never going to see evidence that he was loved for his masculinity online, but there's a reason he won his primaries. Unfortunately, Biden just got old as shit, and no one came up behind him- Gavin Newsom is what, 1 for six on the criteria I brought up?

I thought Biden won the nomination by winning the vote of African-American women in the pivotal South Carolina primary, after a major endorsement by Representative Jim Clyburn.
I can't parse what I just wrote to decide how Biden's masculinity played into that result.
