Toxic masculinity

Toxic masculinity refers not to men themselves but to a specific expression of manhood that prizes dominance, emotional suppression, and aggression—a narrow script that harms both those who perform it and those subjected to it. Recognizing it as toxic means understanding that both liberation and accountability require different models of male identity and power.
