Frankly, this chapter feels very much like a miss to me: a painfully obvious female perspective on the male experience.
Like, yeah, the pressure is there, but it's utterly misunderstood how it works and what it entails. No one's forcing you into sucking up stuff like warming a bench in a team - if anything, male gender socialization (MGS) is confronting the issue head-on. No one's forcing you into drinking more than your measure in a decent male company. No one's forcing you into misogynist remarks, and normal people can be shamed away from them. But you do have to deliver in some way to fit in, consistently and with remarkable results.
And of course, you can bow out of "the game of chicken" (as if most guys don't and spend their lives trying to one-up one another on whose behaviour is more risky, lol), but you can't break the basic norms like looking as if you're in control of yourself and the situation around you. And it's far more likely those won't be fellow men who mock and bully you if you lose your shit or cry.
Kasamashi, if anything, is a good example - for all his talk of "not confirming", he's operating within the expected societal etiquette well enough to be a manager; he's rather well off; he keeps very fit. Is that not contorting to fit the societal expectations, lol? Note that at least the two former qualities are directly shown to be attractive to Makio. If anything, the attractiveness he exhibits fits MGS to a T, to a hilarious degree - he shows that he's in control of himself and the situation around him, he's ready to provide and support.
