    Spanish gave us the word machismo, and it also conveniently has its opposite, hembrismo. So, yeah, I’d go with that, myself.

    Depends on what you think the equivalent behaviour is.

    If macho is the limited and stereotypical image of manhood than possible it is trad wife.

    But that is only one interpretation.

    There’s no mirror image? Machismo is an insecurity based on sexist ideas of male supremacy and the fear of some men that they don’t match up to it, so they need to shout about how very manly they are, honest.

    You could probably identify something like the tradwives movement as (some) women asserting how incredibly happy they are to be domestic serfs but it’s not really a mirror image of machismo so much as an acquiescence to it and the need to defend that acquiescence.
