Seriously and accurately, what is toxic masculinity? It's not a good thing, that's for sure, but how real is it? Does it skew our view of what a good man should be? Toxic masculinity is a narrow and harmful definition of masculinity, emphasizing attributes such as violence, aggression, and stoicism. It's a set of social norms and attitudes that suggest that men should be tough, unemotional, and always in control. Let's try to see it today from the man's point of view. How does toxic masculinity harm men? _x000D_

Emotional suppression, encouragement of violence, and pushing away support, are things many men are not only familiar with but have become comfortable with in order to adapt. So how do we solve this? Some have challenged the ‘macho man’ myth, and some have suggested allowing men to express emotions without ridicule. Is that working? _x000D_

Let’s have an important, judgment-free, and open discussion on all these things in a spirit of mutual respect!_x000D_

严肃而准确地说,什么是有毒的男子气概?这不是一件好事,这是肯定的,但它有多真实?它会扭曲我们对好人的看法吗?有毒的男子气概是对男子气概的一个狭隘而有害的定义,强调暴力、侵略和禁欲主义等特征。它是一套社会规范和态度,表明男人应该坚强,不情绪化,总是在控制。让我们今天试着从男人的角度来看这个问题。有毒的男子气概是如何伤害男人的?_x000D_

情绪压抑、鼓励暴力、拒绝支持,是许多男人不仅熟悉,而且为了适应而变得舒服的事情。怎么解呢?一些人挑战了“大男子主义”的神话,一些人建议允许男性表达情感,而不是嘲笑。这有用吗?_x000D_

让我们本着相互尊重的精神,对所有这些事情进行一次重要的、没有偏见的、公开的讨论吧!
