How to use "Professed" in context?
Masculinity is typically a display of strength, power, and dominance over women. However, not all men who adopt this archetype espouse these values. Some men may profess to be strong and powerful, but secretly feel vulnerable and insecure. They may want to project an image of invincibility, but internally, they truly feel broken and powerless. These men may call themselves "tough guys," "bad boys," or "macho men," but they are in fact, professed men who are afraid to be vulnerable.
