Synonyms for Power: Male, Manly and Masculine

I was playing with an online thesaurus today, attempting to write taglines (admittedly, one of my weaknesses) and happened to look up the word “power.” To my surprise, I discovered that some accepted synonyms for “power” include “male,” “manful,” “manlike,” “manly” and “masculine.”

Sexist Synonyms?

What do you think? Sexist, surprising, or neither? I don’t exactly consider myself a feminist, and I definitely think I have a sense of humor about a lot of subjects many women consider touchy, such as the Motrin Moms fiasco and most fratire literature. But are the words “power” and “male” really interchangeable?
