The media certainly plays a HUGE role in perpetuating the hyper-masculine culture, but it's not the only one. Frat houses perpetuate it, 'good old boys' clubs perpetuate it, children can even pick up such cues from hanging around a group of men at a barbecue, girls learn to accept such nonsense behaviour from their own female role models.
It's not just up to the artists, I think it behooves everyone, in their own personal lives, to be "those guys".
