No, Real Masculinity Isn't Toxic
There is a great deal of confusion surrounding what it means to “be a man.” Many men are getting mixed messages regarding what constitutes true masculinity, and many women are desperately searching for men who fulfill some kind of undefinable ideal.
Men should be good, virtuous, and yes, masculine. Women should not only seek out these men but should actively build them up through love and support so that they are better able to embody the true meaning of masculinity. Contrary to popular (or maybe current) opinion, men can (and should) be both good and masculine. Rather than toxicity, masculinity actually produces the types of boyfriends, husbands, and fathers who empower, protect, defend, and love not just women, but all of those around them.
