Toxic masculinity

Toxic masculinity is when boys and men are told by society that they need to act a certain way to be considered "manly". This usually means they have to be tough, aggressive, unemotional, and dominant over others. But these expectations are actually harmful because they encourage boys and men to devalue and disrespect things like women, LGBTQ+ people, and anyone who doesn't fit into their narrow definition of what it means to be a man. This can lead to behaviors like bullying, sexual harassment, and violence. It's important to understand that not all men exhibit toxic masculinity and that it's a societal problem that we all need to work together to address.
