Ok, another response has come up. One of the most masculine traits is testosterone, and this high levels of this hormone are seen in both business executives and criminals, if I remember correctly. Thus being a thug is a sign of having a defining male characteristic, whereas individuals who do not have this will to fight are not seen as being as male.
That is an overstatement. Males tend to be more aggressive than females, but this does not mean they must be thugs. One can be aggressive, ambitious and driven without being criminal. Think of track and field events.
