When I talk about toxic masculinity it always causes a big backlash, and I’ve noticed it’s mainly because men don’t know what it means. When I say I hate toxic masculinity, I do not mean that I hate that you’re a man or that I hate masculinity.Toxic masculinity is THIS. Toxic masculinity is when men reinforce the idea that men should suppress and ignore softer displays of emotions that are associated with women. Toxic masculinity is reinforcing the fear of physical affection between men because it makes them appear too feminine or even ‘homosexual’.It has to stop. Let men cry. Let men hold each other. Stop perceiving things that are ‘feminine’ as weak because outing your emotions is not weakness, it’s strength.I wish me and my pops were this close tbhThey need to start raising their sons with affection and normalize shit like this. Literally babies need physical affection to develop and it shouldn’t only come from the mom. Starting young normalizes this because you should be able to have a son and dad touch and have familial intimacy (is that even a term but whatever y'all know what I mean) without it being gay. Which is fucking ridiculous.Hug your fucking sonsHUG YOUR FUCKING SONS -- source link
