According to Amy Morin, Verywellmind. Nov 25, 2021. “Toxic masculinity isn’t just about behaving like a man. Instead, it involves the extreme pressure some men may feel to act in a way that is actually harmful. There are many definitions of “toxic masculinity” that appear in research as well as pop culture. Some researchers have come to agree that toxic masculinity has three core components: 1 Toughness: This is the notion that men should be physically strong, emotionally callous, and behaviorally aggressive. 2 Antifeminity: This involves the idea that men should reject anything that is considered to be feminine, such as showing emotion or accepting help. 3 Power: This is the assumption that men must work toward obtaining power and status (social and financial) so they can gain the respect of others.” When I was single looking for a woman I was always confronted by women how much money I make; why am I not the boss at my current job; why don’t you exercise more ( most men feel that I am fit); name several high value men that I am friends with; and critique my house and car. Maybe a better question than what’s the difference between toxic masculinity and high value men is who is more to blame for toxic masculinity men or women?
