Nowadays it seems that everyone is talking about two words: toxic masculinity. There are endless articles, tweets, IG posts, and now podcast episodes on the subject.  But what is it really? 

And if you're a man/masculine identifying person it can feel like your masculinity is under attack with the recent attention on toxic masculinity. 

Today we break down what toxic masculinity is, our experiences embodying toxic masculinity and we talk to a couple guys about their opinions on toxic masculinity.
