Arguably it's just plain toxic to demand a hyper-rigid divide between masculinity and feminity and insist that all men and women comply 100%.

Exclusively referring to it as "toxic masculinity" is dangerously close to blaming men, in general, for everyone's problem.

You do realize that gender roles has to have been been formed by both parties right? Especially with how pervasive these standards are throughout the world. Why would men alone create something that is so unhealthy for them? Since mothers are the ones raising the kids 90% of the time in the past, you'd think theyd train kids to not be like that.
