When Does Masculinity Become Toxic? Do We Need To Change How We Talk About This? | The Left Wing
Academically speaking, toxic masculinity is the way men are culturally trained and socially pressured to behave. Its three core tenants, toughness, anti-femininity, and power, range in expression from person to person, but all combine to create the sense of “manliness” portrayed in The Expendables movie franchise and That 70’s Show’s Red Foreman.
Below are the core tenants of Toxic Masculinity in greater detail:
1. Toughness - Men are strong, aggressive, and emotionally hardened.
2. Anti-Femininity - Men reject any and all feminine traits, including most emotion, accepting help, and domesticity.
3. Power - Men are worthy only if they have money, power, status, and influence.
The embodiment of these traits can contribute to pernicious attitudes and behaviors toward women and marginalized groups. Surprisingly, cultural pressure to fulfil this masculine template can also lead men into myriad of problems, of which repeatedly watching the movie 300 is the least of these.
