"'Boys don't cry': Study suggests mothers, not fathers, show gender bias towards sons"

It would appear that feminist policies which work to eliminate male role models from boys' lives are a big contributor to "toxic masculinity".

To be honest most people who told me to man up or be a man were a woman tbh

they are just advocating

Should we teach women not to promote sexism in how they raise their children?

I’ll start out but saying that the nicest comments I’ve received in terms of expressing my emotions came from women. I have a few very close female friends who’ve helped me so much in feeling comfortable with myself.

The meanest and most vile comments I’ve received have also come from women. I’ve been told by women that I need to man up, that I’m annoying, that I’m bratty, that I’m inconsiderate, that I’m a baby... And yes, I’ve also been shamed by my mom. She was the one who emphasized when I was younger that I had to be masculine, not my dad.

In my experience most men don’t react especially positively to breaking gender roles, but they don’t react too negatively either. With some exceptions they tend to be sort of indifferent.

True.

I'm sure it's really because husbands hate wives who raise unmanly sons, or some shit
