Toxic masculinity refers to the socially constructed attitudes that describe the masculine gender as violent, dominant, aggressive unemotional and large.

Feminism wants to dismantle toxic masculinity and have a society in which men are allowed to be submissive, passive, emotionally expressive and small and not have it say anything about their manliness.

At the risk of being simplistic here, let's just assume that men are highly motivated to seek out sex with as much women as they can, and therefore want to do whatever it takes to maximize their sexual success. If that is the case, then men are simply going to compete in being whatever it takes for them to become sexually successful.

Now, feminists want to dismantle toxic masculinity, but ideology doesn't always coincide with sexual preference. A feminist may say that she wants men to be less masculine, but still choose tall, dominant, aggressive men as sexual partners. The justification being that sex and politics are unrelated so she is entitled to date whoever she wants to date, even if it conflicts with her political beliefs.

The problem is that as long as women are still rewarding tall, masculine, aggressive men through sex and relationships, men will always want to be masculine. Toxic masculinity is simply the inevitable result of men competing with each other to satisfy women's sexual preferences.

So as long as women prefer traditionally masculine men as sexual partners, this notion of toxic masculinity will never go away. Men will always seek to be dominant, aggressive, emotionless being if it means maximizing their sexual success.
