Opinion Meryl Streep says the term 'toxic masculinity' hurts boys: 'women can be pretty f***ing toxic"

They really don't. You're looking at outcomes and subscribing it all to toxic masculinity again just like @luckyshot which is weird. Totally ignores other factors in those outcomes in order to malign masculinity. There's other factors to why men commit more crime, get more duis, use drugs, and commit suicide. You ignore those factors and also what the discussion of toxic masculinity is actually about.

There's a discussion to be had about certain aspects of masculinity like hyper aggression and a stoic approach to emotions that we can see have been rewarded in society as many claimed this is what makes strong men. Toxic masculinity is a look at how those norms can be harmful to men and society as whole when conformity to those norms become an issue. It goes beyond looking at stats and going "hurr durr men are toxic because crime".

You're misrepresenting my argument. The problem seems to be that I haven't explained it well enough.

Hyper aggression and stoicism are toxic masculinity. That's what I'm describing.
