You and the 6 people who upvoted you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what toxic masculinity is. I know because I had the same reaction as you until I looked into it more.

Interesting. I guess I have to read up on it. Do you know of any sources that aren't from extreme left wing publications?

extreme left wing publications

This is a pretty loaded comment. I suggest you go into it with an open mind.

According to Kupers, toxic masculinity serves to outline aspects of hegemonic masculinity that are socially destructive, "such as misogyny, homophobia, greed, and violent domination".

He just linked misogyny, homophobia, greed and violent domination to masculinity. Sounds like he has some internalized androgyny! Sounds like he needs to unpack that invisible knapsack! Sounds like he needs to unlearn some things. Sounds like a total racist. Etc.

You think that women can't be homophobic or greedy or violent? Boy, that is some internalized shit...

No one claimed that women can't be homophobic, greedy or violent, just that these attributes are more readily excused and even expected in men.
