masculinize
Make more manly
To masculinize is to give masculine qualities or characteristics to something or someone.
In biology, it refers to developing male physical traits, often through hormone exposure: Testosterone masculinizes the developing fetus.
More broadly, it can describe making something seem more associated with men or maleness: The industry masculinized its marketing to attract male buyers.
