Im curous, whats your thoughts on Toxic Masculenity

Toxic Masculinity is Manliness as defined by the Consumer Culture, our
dominant culture, which is measured by the accumulation of possessions. If you’re a Man, the more possessions you have, the more Manly you are. If you have the right
clothes, car, house(s) partner, body (in most cases steroid based) and bank
account, then you’re Manly. Also its very important to “appear” Manly so having
a huge muscular body and expensive clothes is how you need to look. All
this make a Man self absorbed, thinking only about how he looks and what he
owns. The Martial Culture, the culture of the fight gyms, proposes that
Manliness is the ability and willingness to fight. It has nothing to do with
what a Man owns or looks. Fighting produces and nurtures Manliness which
includes fight skills, a trained and conditioned body and most importantly the
Moral Virtues of Humility, Integrity, Selflessness, Self Control and always
showing Respect. This is directly at odds with Toxic Masculinity and the Consumer Culture. I hope this
explanation helped.
