The more things change, the more they stay the same. Which groups of men have the biggest problems with what feminists term as "toxic masculinity"? Poor men and minorities. The attitude behind "toxic masculinity" is no different from the attitudes when Dawes Act was signed into law to "civilize" Native Americans.

I've written articles and done research on "conversion therapy." I can say with a fair amount of certainty that there is no therapy involved. It's mental torture of the worst kind. The scars it leaves on people cannot be overstated. Nobody, be they man, woman, trans, gay, or something in between, should be subjected to such torment. Toxic masculinity is a made-up term that is as empty as it is asinine. Anyone who favors subjecting people to this kind of "therapy" is basically condoning atrocity.

Yeah...nobody is saying it is, though. People who oppose toxic masculinity (which is just a term for the ways holding guys to stereotypical masculinity norms makes them torture themselves and each other) almost universally oppose conversion therapy, and on the same basic grounds.
