I think toxic expectations of men is a better term, but I think toxic masculinity is a motte and bailey used by feminists. When pressured they will say "It's just unhealthy expectations of men by society" but they will then go on to use the word to a) refer to any aspect of masculinity, b) blame it solely on men as men are the ones who possess masculinity so they must be the ones propogating it and c) apply it to anything harmful men do, even if it is rare behaviour directly opposed to what we teach men to do.

Toxic masculinity is nothing but a word weapon to beat men over the head with. You will notice the people that claim toxic masculinity exists, can never clearly state what is non-toxic masculinity when asked. They can't, because they think all masculinity is toxic, but hide behind these kinds of weasel words.

One term that's been proposed in the academic literature is the "men are toxic effect". It's meant to contrast against the "women are wonderful effect".

Here is a paper that uses this term:

Your post was removed due to rule 14, titles must be descriptive.

Titles must describe the content so that:

Users know what the link they are clicking on content before they click it
Users who are searching for specific material can easily find the post they are looking for

Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.

It's a good idea to pause for a few moments before hitting the "Post" button. Check for typos, ambiguous phrasing, redundant words - and of course for unintended meanings!
