Got to say I disagree with this. Yes aspects of both masculinity and femininity can be toxic but also aspects can be very good/beneficial.basically, everything you think a man (but not a woman) should be, that's probably toxic masculinity.
I think most men striving to be a provider, capable of protecting others, being physically strong, and confident, etc is a very good thing to aim for. Just like most women striving to be socially adept, emotionally intune, caring, looking good, etc is also a very good thing to aim for.
It would be good to get rid of gender roles that don't serve us anymore but I think there is a loud movement to get rid of genders almost completely which I think is a very bad idea.
At the end of the day, CFS effects masculinity (and femininty) negatively and it's something we just have to find a way to deal with until we get better.
