Ah yes. Let's blame men for men's problems. That should fix everything.

This shit is the major contributor to the problem. A woman expresses and embraces femininity? "You go girl!". A man expresses and embraces masculinity? "You are broken and you are the problem of our society, and everything bad that happens to you is also your fault".

And don't give me this "Toxic masculinity is totally not just masculinity". Almost every masculine trait has been called "toxic masculinity". You might have your specific definition for what it means, but so does everyone else and together you all cover pretty much every facet of masculinity.

Out of interest, what are some masculine traits that you feel are being rejected by society?
