Toxic Masculinity is the contemporary term which has been used to describe a set of traits and behaviours associated with masculinity that are damaging to the person exhibiting the behaviour and those around them. In feminist analyses, toxic masculinity is often discussed as a manifestation of patriarchy in the way that masculine people interact with each other and the world around them. Deconstructing toxically masculine behaviour would therefore be a necessary part of dismantling patriarchal structures. In this episode, we're joined by Floris to deconstruct and understand our experiences with toxic masculinity, and learn how we can address issues surrounding it.
