Toxic masculinity revolves around the idea that men, from an early age are required to act a certain way, and have to act tough and suppress their emotions. This sort of transcends into their adulthood and the not being able to express your emotions turns into aggression and thus, male violence. Male violence cases, such as 92% of defendants in domestic abuse-related prosecutions being men, are a product of toxic masculinity. Hence, I believe toxic masculinity is very real.

Toxic Masculinity is the idea that men are naturally violent, whereas you said they are violent because of suppressed emotions. The reality is, Toxic Masculinity is a far-left idea, made up by women. If toxic masculinity is real, and considered "bad", then Men can't be Men.

Rather it is discussed as a 'cultural norm' and not that men are born with it. The chain goes back several many years, yes, but doesnt mean it is in their genes and whatnot. I disagree with when you said 'men can't be men' because men can very much act their ways without...
