Do most girls (and nbs) not realize that “Masculinity is toxic” or “men’s fragile masculinity” is actually picking at something that a lot of men are insecure about? Masculinity is usually a lot more important to men than femininity is to women.

Toxic masculinity is, in a sense, very much a thing
It’s the reason men have higher suicide rates
It’s the reason men have so so many body confidence issues
And it’s the reason men are taught not to show emotions or enjoy anything that might be considered even remotely feminine

So maybe don’t insult someone’s masculinity or call them fragile because they’re masculine/insecure about not being masculine enough?

Let other guys work on their issues and encourage them to feel comfort not being masculine. Don’t mock someone’s insecurities and call them out for it.
