They usually have masculine traits like confidence and assertiveness. You don't need to be a shitbag to have them but in the modern society we live there is a saying that applies very well: When masculinity is outlawed, only outlaws will be masculine
Men in the modern world are taught from childhood to be good, law abiding, obedient and passive cucks. You can still be a good, civilized and morally correct masculine, dominant man, but it's not something that it's taught or encouraged in modern society, so you have to learn it from a father figure which might not necessarily be your dad or learn on your own (very unlikely), then there's the other option which is turning into a shitbag drug dealer or something, which is more masculine than being an obedient cuck, despite not being the ideal and carrying it's own inherent problems.
