Toxic masculinity refers to harmful societal expectations and behaviors associated with traditional masculinity. It perpetuates ideals of dominance, aggression, and emotional suppression, often causing negative consequences for men themselves and society at large. By questioning and challenging these norms, we can create space for healthier expressions of masculinity, encourage emotional well-being, foster respectful relationships, and dismantle harmful gender stereotypes. This shift is crucial in creating a more inclusive and equitable society for everyone, regardless of gender.
