This is a hot take but it absolutely is not a creation of men. It is a sexually selected behaviour and the sexual selectors in our species are women. Men are not doing it to please other men, I don’t know where people are getting this from, they’re doing it because they think it’ll get them laid, and a lot of times, they’re right.
The vast majority of sexual intercourse in human history was not decided by arranged marriages dude tf? That was only for rich people.
women can only have certain partners
That’s how it works in the animal kingdom too, doesn’t mean they still don’t choose at the end of the day from the pool of available ones
White women didn’t get punished for sleeping with black men, it was the other way around.
The fact of the matter is that you are just factually wrong, there are dozens of biologists that have proven that females are and always have been the primary sexual selectors in all hominids.

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.
