unemasculated

Manhood not stripped

Unemasculated describes a male whose masculinity remains intact—not weakened, diminished, or stripped of manly qualities.

The word typically appears in contexts where emasculation was expected or threatened but didn't occur: He emerged from the divorce unemasculated, his confidence still whole.

It can describe literal castration avoided or, more commonly, preserved psychological vigor and self-assurance.
