Both modernist and fundamentalist Protestants agreed on masculine Christianity

Evidence

Modernists and fundamentalists did, however, agree on the need to masculinize the faith. Liberal Protestants insisted that their own social activism exemplified a manly exercise of Christianity. Fundamentalists, meanwhile, asserted that a staunch defense of doctrine evinced masculine courage and conviction, and they derided liberal theology as an effeminate squandering of the virility of true Christianity. — Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne, 44
