a healthy trait native to and suitable for men that turns poisonous when feminist women seek to destroy men by draining it from them using it to replace their own femininity

The socially-constructed attitudes that men are expected to be: violent, unemotional, sexually aggressive, etc. It's harmful to men and it harms everyone else as a consequence through these actions.

Especially prominent in: locker rooms, with all the yelling, fighting, proving yourself, who's-dick-is-bigger atmosphere
and in fraternities, with all the making fun or or belting women, emotions, or being a decent human being, and judging men by how many girls they've had sex with, etc.

A stupid politically correct term that tries to tell people that masculinity is a bad thing or even unhealthy and toxic.

A term to describe aggression, particularly from a male. The female equivalent of the term, for aggression from a female, feminine toxicity, does not exist or has not been pushed in popular U.S. media as there is no push for such an openly sexist term as there has been for the term "toxic masculinity."

A social science term that describes narrow repressive type of ideas about the male gender role, that defines masculinity as exaggerated masculine traits like being violent, unemotional, sexually aggressive, and so forth. Also suggests that men who act too emotional or maybe aren’t violent enough or don’t do all of the things that “real men” do, can get their “man card” taken away.

Many people confuse the difference between Masculinity and toxic Masculinity. However, one can be masculine without having toxic Masculinity.

Some beliefs of toxic masculinity is that:

-interactions between men and women always has to be competitive and not cooperative.

-men can never truly understand women and that men and women can never just be friends.

-That REAL men need to be strong and that showing emotion is a sign of weakness... unless it’s anger, that is considered okay.

-The idea that men can never be victims of abuse and talking about it is shameful.

-The idea that REAL men always want sex and are ready for it at any time.

-The idea that violence is the answer to everything and that REAL men solve their problems through violence.

-The idea that men could never be single parents and that men shouldn’t be very interactive in their children’s learning and development and that men should always be the dominant one in the relationship or else he’s a “Cuck.”

-The idea that any interest in a range of things that are strictly considered feminine would be an emasculation of a guy.

A term used to demonise men in order to push a political goal

When someone uses the fact that they are a man and/or their “masculinity” as justification to put someone else down.

An abstract concept that is probably useful for understanding some extreme male behaviors yet is often trundled out and weaponized when someone simply disagrees with somebody else.

A plan devised by women to get men to be simps

In contrast to some of the other idiotic definitions. Toxic Masculinity is the societal expectation that males are suppose to represent "manhood" which can cause them to become violent, aggressive, manipulative, unsympathetic, and unemotional. This mentality causes a lot of males to subconsciously see women as sex objects to dominate over instead of having a mutual relationship, which can cause rapes to happen. Toxic Masculinity also forces males to not show any emotions including crying or asking for help. This is why males are almost twice as likely commit suicide than females, all because they were told to "suck it up" or "be a man" throughout their entire life.
