https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machismo
--------------------------------

Editor: The first Wikipedia reference says that 大男子主義 is the belief that men are superior to women.
"machismo" is a bit different: "a strong sense of masculine pride; an exaggerated masculinity" [Merriam-Webster].
Chinese expressions corresponding to machismo include 大男人氣魄 and 男子漢氣概.
These terms represent a kind of *spirit* (氣魄 or 氣概) rather than an *notion* (主義).


大男人usage:

中華搜救總隊7、8個大男人趴在搖搖欲墜的空間裡,
To recover the remains of one woman, seven or eight burly IHSART rescuers had to crawl around in a confined space that was crumbling to pieces,

朱建峰表示,社會上普遍認為男性收入高於女性,因此男性單親給人「一個大男人應該養得起孩子」的假象。
Chu explains that with men generally making more money than women, many people have the misperception that "a real man shouldn't have any problems raising his kids."

相對於不輕易示弱的大男人情結,有些爸爸在失業、生病、失婚時卻會產生自卑的心理。
But while some fathers stick to the macho ideal of never showing weakness, others, when confronted by the loss of their jobs, partners, or health, also lose their self-esteem.

我覺得你非常不要臉,一個大男人竟然敢開口跟我要錢!
You are so incredibly shameless. You're a grown man and you have the nerve to ask me for money!

畢竟聽一個大男人絮絮叨叨地談自己的太太小孩,甚至家中的白狗斯諾,那是沒有什麼意義的。
he knew very well that listening to a man rattling on about his wife and kids and dog Snowy was boring.
