Because male and female are seen as polar opposites, that should not and cannot merge. Macho is pretty much bases on that idea (with a side note that says anyone who think differently should be beaten flat by any real man around).
Western culture is not the only one where such silliness operate, In southeast Asia gender roles tend to be even more extreme and unquestionable.
