Suprise suprise, being lonely makes men do stupid things in order to feel somewhat validated.

Author summarizes recent findings that fathers have nothing to do with the development of traits that are frequently branded as "Toxic masculinity".

The real culprit will surprise you... SPOILER: It's not mom either.

The original research article is deceptively named but the link to it is in the article. Also posting the it on r/Male_Studies

If you look at the original study (at least the abstract), they don't mention toxic masculinity.

They do mention hegemonic masculinity, which I don't think is a good model either. But it's interesting how all the pop science reporting on this is equating their findings with toxic masculinity even though the original authors weren't using that terminology.

I learned toxic masculinity from only the guys in my social circle that got laid on the regular (srs)
