Guys, the term toxic masculinity does not translate into men are evil. That is not what that term means.

We’re talking about how our society indoctrinates boys from a young age to believe they can’t share their feelings, that they’re not allowed to cry, that they have to shut up and man up, that it’s okay to use violence as a way to express pain, but it’s not okay to ask for help. We’re talking about how this version of masculinity, of what it means to be a man, is toxic. We’re talking about how the patriarchy hurts men. This discussion is centered on how we can improve society so that boys and men don’t have to endure this box that society has put them in which causes some men to snap, lash out, and hurt others.
