This whole comment section is just toxic. Toxic masculinity is real and being taught “how to be a men” from generations to generations needs to end.

These comments are so disappointing smh. It’s almost as if you took only what you wanted to hear and got angry about it. Is he saying that toxic masculinity is the root of all bullying and everything wrong with the world? No, but it is a huge factor. I don’t even have to explain this again because he says it all pretty clearly for himself. I think you should just re watch the video with a more open welcoming mind.

Make sure to teach your boys to be strong and proud of who they are and to stand up even violently if necessary, because an effeminate coward protects no one.

It's time to stand up against sexism like this.

Honestly, this talk made me a little sad. I hate the use of the term "Toxic Masculinity." BOTH feminine and masculine psychological traits have their dark side. Agreeableness also can lead to pathological insanity. Yes, some humans are mean. But I think it's insane to think you can take all the cruelty and bullying out of the world. Why not just teach your children to have the self esteem & inner strength to be able to weather the storms of life? Stop blaming group identities.

[MW-swso]

Those are also the same words that have been said for 50 years at least I think people like this guy just complain too much it's not as big a deal as you're making it out to be
