Because bottling up your emotions too much , not showing any emotions can give you cancer, cardiac arrest and even depression, and when you can't be vulnerable you can't make freinds, you can't open up about your feelings and that can cause depression, and then you are the same people who will cry about men suicide, I think there are some things which you can learn from women and kids, how they are more happy than men, Than again you are the same people who will get mad when a woman says i am self sufficient and i don't need a man
Physical toughness is not bad, but if I use it to dominate others because I thinks that's what it means to be a man that's when it becomes toxic. Mental toughness is not bad, but when I hold it in so long that it causes me to lash out, and develop health and relationship problems, that's when it becomes toxic. Self-sufficiency is not a bad thing but it becomes toxic, when I refuse to ask for help, because that's not what men do and it could lead to isolation, drugs or crime. Men should be masculine. however we should not be so into our masculinity that it put us in mental or physical harm. That is the true meaning of Toxic Masculinity. I believe the problem is that women and other groups hijacked and redefined toxic masculinity because they want to redefine what it means to be a man.
@@toneofficial6528 Bruh it's only the persons personality that's toxic being tough is required for human survival then whats the fucking point of having a strong military then?
So physical/emotional toughness and self-sufficiency are toxic traits? I guess this means that to be "non-toxic" I need to be weak and needy. Nah, I think I'll have to keep being toxically masculine.
Toxic masculinity workshops are appearing across university campuses. How wonderful! I’m sure I’ve seen more than a few recent male attendees of these ideological sessions. How do I know? Well, ‘a tell’ is that the young male, apparently healthy, is proudly wearing his face diaper! I’ve seen quite a number of these young males wearing the mask of cowardice, while their girl friends are not!! (I actually cringe in vicarious shame…) Whatever problems these males may have, masculinity, toxic or otherwise, is clearly not one of them. Men, from time immemorial, have been called upon to risk, and often lose, their lives in the defence of home and family. These males…? Not a chance. Yes, it is true that masculinity can become toxic. Excluding psychopaths, which can have a huge genetic component, masculinity, all too frequently, becomes toxic when boys don’t have a stable father figure in their lives. It takes men to teach boys how to be men. Most boys, very early after puberty, are bigger and physically stronger than their mothers. A father is able to snap that young man’s leash in a way most mothers can’t. In suburbia, these fatherless boys all too frequently end up as little, panty waisted, sissies. Like the face-diaper wearing males, discussed above. Just what is this ‘detoxified male’ going to do when some aggressive hoodlum starts harassing his wife? My guess, as she’s being sexually assaulted, he’ll be calling the police after running away… You see, he really doesn’t know, his job is to fight off the attack, allowing his wife to escape. Yup, he may get seriously hurt or killed. That’s what it means to be a man. And no, not all males are men. In the inner city, fatherless young men, all too frequently, join violent gangs of criminal thugs. It’s no mystery why the inner city is so crime ridden. The number 1 cause of death for a young black man is death by young black man. These young men don’t have fathers in their lives… Hope you’ll check out my book “Deconstructing Social Justice”. I discuss this issue at length, with the data.
Here's the view of an ex soldier, the most "toxic" kind of masculinity there is.... Men that call other men Toxic males for displaying masculinity are simply doing so BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK MEN... You want to be a REAL MAN stand up be strong, protect the weak and always speak the truth..... this garbage about toxicity is pushed by weak men..... And weak men make hard times.......
stealing valor is not 'REAL MAN' shit, its one thing to idealize warriors who go off into the dust to protect their ideals, it is an entirely different and abhorrent thing to claim your are a veteran when you are not, no one in the military thinks 'weak men make hard times' it is a statement used by loner boys who are too afraid to face girls, it is disgusting to claim yourself on level of martyrs
@@josephpublico2337 more that those traits are usually prescribed as being masculine by our society but in reality both men and women can embody these traits same with feminine traits. In short society dictates a lot of masculine and feminine expectations.
Because governments wants to keep men weak and controllable. This video is beyond disgusting thinking that stoicism is disgusting when it helped me get through my anxiety. More feminist propaganda I guess?
When it needs to be constantly proven to others to cover extreme insecurities, and when it is detrimental to your life. Self-sufficiency is one thing, but stubbornness to ask for help with literally anything at all is extremely fucking dumb.
Stoicism is the best thing I've found in life that helps, it isn't bury your emotions at all. What it is is learning to master those emotions and learn to use them positively. The dichotomy of control is one thing I've taken from my studying
I could MAYBE understand the "physical strength" being "toxic🤡" because of rape, sexual assault, bullying... etc but "mental strength" ?? bruhhhh how is that toxic?
Even physical strength is not necessarily toxic simply because the average man could overpower a woman. Most gymbros are perfectly nice, decent people (anecdotal, but among my friends/acquaintances, the ones who are in shape and jacked tend to be the most comfortable and courteous around women). That college wrestler who got seriously wounded fighting off a bear to protect his friends was (fortunately) physically strong and not toxic. People who abuse their strength (whether or not they have a lot of it) to dominate people weaker than them are toxic. Having a lot of physical strength is not an indicator for abusive behavior.
Ur comment makes little sense. There’s nothing toxic about being muscular lol. But as far as the mental strength part…Having mental strength also includes the ability to be vulnerable. Saying that men who cry are less than IS the toxic masculinity.
@@The-Mediatorcall it toxic or whatever but if a man cries it means he is emotionally weak and won’t become successful in The modern world. It means he is feminine and is depressed. Men are hardwired to be masculine and goal driven
No. That is incorrect. There is such a thing as toxic masculinity as well as toxic femininity. For example, the idea that a man is less of a man if he cries or shows vulnerable emotion. That is in fact toxic masculinity. It is the toxic illiberal social standards that people force onto others. Not the actual behaviors/traits themselves.
anyone that is manipulative whether the faux empathy ("nice") or narcissist... both are using and manipulating situations and people for their own benefit
@@StephenKershaw1 Do you believe altruism is a common thing? I don't. I reckon most people use/ manipulate situations for their own benefit (and are probably stupid if they don't in many cases) and everyone manipulates everyone else constantly.
Men being self sufficient and stoic is not a bad thing. It is actually a trait that just a few years ago would have been seen as normal. No men should not keep certain feelings inside. And no most men do not condone or promote rape culture
Simply saying "what was she wearing" promotes Rape Culture. Asking if she enjoyed it, regrets it, wanted it, all promotes it. Toxic Masculinity is when you have to force it on anything/anyone that somehow offends your sense of being a "hetero man" such as telling men that are sad to "man up" is to tell them "nobody cares, deal with it on your own time" which leads to the whole stoic hardship which is lot more common in males than it is females.
Most of these comments forgot the part that “toxic masculinity does not criticize masculinity itself.” 🤦🏾♀️ The idea that a man is less of a man if he does not perform stereotypical masculine traits is what toxic masculinity IS.
Toxic masculinity does not criticize masculinity itself; it challenges the notion that a man is less of a man if he does not conform to stereotypical masculine traits. ❤️
@@MedicalCentrici have a suggestion, it's better to close the comments or delete negative comments please. because there are more and more people here who comment negatively so it disturbs my project when I want to explain this and this almost makes me crazy and disturbs my sleep because there are still many people who don't get it with this.

I am an extremely toxic male and I am raising my son to be the same way, aggressive, confident, and proud of his accomplishments. Right now he is 14 and under the training of a boxing coach and I have never been more proud. Men, never EVER let these poisonous parasites we loosely call "people" influence you in any way.
@BoxingStorageChannel It's great that you're proud of your son's accomplishments and that he's dedicated to training in boxing. Encouraging confidence, discipline, and pride in one's achievements are positive traits. However, fostering healthy relationships, respect, and emotional balance is equally important for personal growth. Aggression can be useful in sports like boxing but should be tempered with self-control and understanding. Supporting your son’s development in both physical and emotional strength will help him succeed in all areas of life, not just in the ring.

Those characteristics are not hurtful in themselves, the video explicitly states that they are present in most of men. The point is that excessive adherence to those ideals may signify toxic masculinity. You can think of those as symptoms, although not as unhealthy or lethal as regular ones.
@Anna Kimoto You just explained why mental/physical toughness is a crucial skill and wonderful mindset to have. "Establishing self-sufficiency is an essential part of healthy mental wellness. - The Link Between Self-Sufficiency & Mental Health There is nothing wrong with being independent. And it's good to be emotionally self-sufficient because you don't have to rely on other people for your own happiness. There are so many benefits to this, one being is you become more of a stable mental person and have a much better life. Without this, that means that if there were to be a moment where no one is there to help you, and you're in a lonely situation, AND you have this un-fullfilled dependence; you are LIKELY to resort to bad habits like, drinking, drugs, excessive smoking etc, which, if not already, could then lead to... you guessed it; suicide. You see, being self-sufficient is different from being selfish or self-centered. Now I'm not saying that if you just so happen to be more on the 'dependent side' then you're a really weak and inferior person. I'll even go as far and say that to become self-sufficient you first have to have certain assistance in some circumstances, that way you can apply it to your own life and learn from it causing a healthy growth and achieving to become more independent than you would have been in the learning stage. Then afterwards, have the capability to spread your knowledge for others. The reasons why men kill themselves are completely the opposite of these masculine ideas and traits. It's a sad misconception that leads us far from the truth and the ability to improve. I am speaking as someone who has seen now healthy men, have borderline suicide thoughts and mental health struggles and talk about their experiences and what they've learn. As well as my own past personal experiences and situations. Have a good day/night.
@@АлександрДадукевич - And what might “excessive” mean? That’s a subjective statement, and who gets to determine the point at which the “excessive” threshold has been met? Nobody does. It’s subjective based on whatever emotion one has, concerning what they’ve been taught.
@@The-Mediatora non-stoic man IS less of a man though. If a man is emotionally weak and cannot control his emotions he is more of a boy or a “guy” not a man. This isn’t toxic. Respect for men is earned in life, not randomly given at birth. This is literally weak men femenist propaganda from the misunderstood women and the low testosterone men
@@MedicalCentric here's a better question, when was the last time you heard a woman critique "toxic femininity," or even claim that that's a genuine thing?
How on earth are stoicism, being physically and mentally tough, and being self-sufficient toxic traits?!?!? Stoicism is a way to get the most out of your time and not waste it doing pointless, damaging, and instantly gratifying activities. It also helps you to not worry so much about material values but more so about mental values. Being physically tough enables you to stand your ground in difficult situations such as an unavoidable confrontation, as well as generally helping in everyday life and being mentally tough increases your determination and will-power... How is that seen as being destructive?!?! And I don't even have to explain the importance of self-sufficiency.
What I find funny is many of these traits are what a lot of women say they are drawn to, meaning stoicism, self reliance, physical and mental toughness. Imagine another scenario you and your partner are walking down the street after a movie and a guy jumps out of the bushes and wants to assault you and your partner. Does she want a man that will lay his life on the line to protect her or someone who is going to start to cry...
It sounds like you're thinking about creating a powerful and impactful edit with themes of strength and resilience, inspired by figures like Ronnie Coleman and David Goggins. Addressing toxic masculinity in such a context can be a compelling way to highlight the contrast between healthy expressions of strength and the harmful stereotypes associated with toxic masculinity. Using motivational visuals and narratives can effectively challenge and reframe those stereotypes.
TLDR: Toxic masculinity is discriminating against others for personal choices like sexuality and sensitivity (but is only toxic when men do it). Interpretation/application: any expansion of this definition quickly turns to vague gobbledegook about un-illustrated gender roles. The first 5 of the traits which may "exhibit toxicity" can be a natural expressions of personality and are not necessarily toxic unless they have become extreme (like most things). Also, no one gets to determine how sensitive and emotionally available a man should be, it is a personal choice.
And generally speak men have been choosing to be strong over the ages for different reasons...from protecting their families from wars to protecting their families from being broken.
Im a man who niether displays extreme masculinity or effeminacy. I'm simply cognizant of the reality that women are equal and have no anxiety or need to exagerrate my gender expression.
I am watching every video that is claiming to describe what's "Toxic masculinity" and doing the opposite to what it says ... I'm following the characters listed as "toxic masculine" and sticking on to it and trying to possess all those characters mentioned in the list... I just know I'm doing it right
These videos are why men are saying society wants to fight masculinity as it is a force of change and progress and society today wants weak obedient men who cause no trouble.
Mental and physical toughness should not be seen as toxic regardless of gender. You need people to be physically and mentally tough to enter professions, such as military, law-enforcement, firefighters, medicine etc. A lot of men these days need to learn a thing called perseverance. Buck up buttercups !
I completely disagree with the premise of this video. A man’s masculinity is inherent, but a lack of morals is a choice, and it’s a choice that everyone (male and female) have to make. Andrew Tate said it the best, in that you can’t take down a country until the men have been neutered.
aggression - good when focused in the correct areas but does need to be controlled. When you are working out being aggressive to help you push yourself more is good but you need to be able to turn that off the th moment you put the weights down. being stoic - do your research, stoicisim is not and never has been about being emotionless, it's about having the mental fortitude to know that no matter what you got this and you can handle anything that comes your way. Physical and Mental toughness - ... since when is being tough bad? These are good things regardless of gender. Emotional insensitivity - okay fine, this I will give you, you ned to understand your own emotions and be sensitive to the emotions of others self-sufficiency - again, regardless of gender this is a good thing. However I believe you are getting at men not asking for help and that I will give you, being able to ask for help when you need it is a good thing but keep in mind, struggle is how you build strength so not asking for help on a task you are struggling with so that you can build strength is good. Not asking for help when you clearly need it is bad. discrimination against everything not hedro - fair, generally speaking this is bad. On the whole this entire thing is utter nonsense!
Being a social worker might be one of the most useless jobs on earth if they teach young boys and men that being a man is a problematic expected norm set upon them.
Why is "physical and mental toughness" a bad thing? I played a competitive sport through school and college and I've pushed through the pain for important tournaments. I've picked myself back up from being demoralized to win from behind. Are those 'toxic' behaviors that propagate violence against women? I've also lifted weights 5+ times a week since I was a teenager to get better at my sport. Is that 'toxic'? Toxic men are toxic. Masculinity (even defined by the shallow features in this video like physical strength and stoicism) is very healthy and contrary to what the media seems to parrot, a lot of women find masculine traits attractive.
@@MedicalCentric Yeah, but those are traits that are considered masculine. I've played a couple of sports very seriously and the first thing my coaches taught me were to respect the opponent. My contention is with needlessly attaching 'masculinity' to behaviors by toxic individuals. Toxic people are toxic regardless of whet gender identity they conform to. Stereotypically masculine (that are not exclusive to men. Lots of women I know are strong and tough people) traits like ruggedness, strength, toughness are very positive in good people. At the same time, a bad person can use those same traits to hurt other people. Likewise, stereotypically feminine traits (again, not exclusive to women) like outward empathy, nurturing and sensitivity are very positive in good people, but a bad person can use those same traits to negatively manipulate other people or justify outdated social norms. I don't call it toxic femininity. Those are simply toxic people.
For one, toxic masculinity includes constantly needing to prove one's worth by the measure of "who gets the most pussy". And yeah. He's a piece of shit. He assaults Rhaenyra because of his own insecurities. I'll admit, the video is extremely poorly worded but come on.
There is a problem with your way of questioning.... What do you mean 'only biological men' cause different genders. Your way of questioning could make some snowflakes to crack. For biological men, this is applied. For biological women a bit alterations are needed. Trans people are a bit of a problem issue cause 1.their situation matters 2. their true gender matters 3. They might get aggressive with the final solution. Cis people... Well I have not studied much about their issue... So i won't talk about that... I said 'no' because, this thread could become a 'Duck you' thread, if wrong people read it. You know, 'emotional damaged' people.
toxic masculinity means a set of attitudes and ways of behaving stereotypically associated with or expected of men, regarded as having a negative impact on men and on society as a whole. "the destructive messages associated with toxic masculinity can lead to men feeling entitled to engage in violence against women"
At the end of the day I am that guy.. But I'm That guy that runs into the building on fire. When the s*** hits the fan. Where running to the sound of gunfire.
What is toxic about masculinity? Nothing What is masculine about toxic masculinity? Nothing. Now let's switch things around. What is feminine about toxic femininity? Nothing. If there is something that I dislike the most is double standards. Anyone could get away with saying men are being toxic because they think they have to be tough. If I were to tell a woman she is being toxic because she is gossipy, then I would be considered sexist thanks to these double standards. What everyone must know is that because a lot of men are told to be tough and brave, that's how this entire system was made. From running a business to working in construction sites, men have made the impossible happen. Anyone who believes that women can do it to. They can. But the question is do they want to do it? We can tell men to show their feelings all we want but it's up to society to treat them with respect. You may think only men make fun of other men that show their feelings, but it's also women. In addition, women expect a man to be in control over his emotions when wanting to be in a relationship. It's just human nature. Naturally, a woman would want to be in a relationship with a man who has all of these "toxic traits." Surprising enough, women are more likely to be attracted to the bad boy type. So forget labeling an entire gender for problems going on in society. It's up to each individual to act in the most decent and well behaved manner. There is nothing masculine about toxic masculinity, there is nothing feminine about toxic femininity, and there is nothing humane about toxic humanity.
I think the society is open about this kind of thinking. But we cannot easily eradicate the designed role of men from the beginning of being tough and strong. Eventually doors are opening and men are availably expressing themselves in healthy ways, being themselves and becoming the man they ought to be.
@@BucketExperience I am not saying, that part of your selves will be taken away. You just have developed healthy avenues to express sentiments and to present the softer side of your personality.
I am exclusively attracted to women, not because of societal expectations, but because it's how I am. Is there something wrong with that? Sexuality is not malleable. These theories have little to no weight in the real world.
No, the comments proves how stupid the video is. 4 out the 6 common traits are good traits to exhibit. I mean really how is self sufficiency toxic? Toxic Masculinity used to refer to the extremes of these traits now these traits are toxic. We setting young men up to fail in life with the idea that these are toxic traits. Hence why male suicide, depression, incarceration, etc… is higher.
The list of traits is highly defective. It seems like this simply is badly produced but it could be that the whole concept of toxic masculinity is not thought through. Self sufficiency, physical and mental toughness and stoicism (being able to endure adversity with calm) are critical virtues that allow for a peaceful, prosperous existence for a person, a family, a city or a country. I came to this video trying to understand this new term and I am left wondering whether anything intelligent is being said using this term today.
Toxic masculinity typically refers to the harmful behaviors and attitudes often linked to traditional masculine norms, and understanding it doesn't negate the value of positive traits like self-sufficiency or mental toughness, but rather addresses how their extreme enforcement can lead to detrimental outcomes.
@@MedicalCentric What you said is more intelligent than what the video said. Aristotle famously said that virtue was the mean between the extremes. These virtues could theoretically be taken to a negative extreme. However, I don’t see this as the typical problem of male behavior. The metoo movement was more on point, criticizing a range of sexual misconduct.
Being stoic is not toxic complaining is a bad thing because no one actually care about your problems isn't that true men ? Men are not supposed to do what they feel like doing ! eg you have to provide for your family and you feel like not going to work or you feel like just sleeping do that and see what happens
@RiseofTaitoShirei It takes a lot to recognize and challenge toxic behaviors, so if you're aware of it, that's a step in the right direction. Toxic masculinity harms everyone, including men, by enforcing harmful stereotypes. Embracing positive masculinity-like showing vulnerability, respect, and empathy-can lead to healthier, more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self.
@@MedicalCentric All this video did was explain men normal from before decades before the 2010s. All toxic masculinity is is men who act normal for men. In fact liberal feminists have flat out praised me for my masculine nature. I am neer going to act lie a beta male.
Bruh why man in the comment section so mad, like when i watching video about feminist, so many man give negative comment, but when this video exist the comment section be like :
So... it is adhering to societal expectations of men. However, the same society are changing the norms to say the previous norms are causing toxicity. So what is stopping the new norms being considered toxic later on?
Men use your strength with discretion etc. . . These are all traits that have been honored since the beginning , society would not be here without them. It is your God given nature
Toxic masculinity refers to cultural norms and behaviors that promote harmful expectations for men, such as suppressing emotions, using aggression to solve problems, and asserting dominance over others. While strength and resilience are valuable traits, using them responsibly and with empathy is crucial. Embracing a more balanced view of masculinity, which includes vulnerability and compassion, can lead to healthier relationships and a more inclusive society.
You know, instead of singling out men, you could just do a video about "toxicity" and encourage everyone to treat everyone right, regardless of gender.

Here's the view of an ex soldier, the most "toxic" kind of masculinity there is....
Men that call other men Toxic males for displaying masculinity are simply doing so BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK MEN...
You want to be a REAL MAN stand up be strong, protect the weak and always speak the truth..... this garbage about toxicity is pushed by weak men.....
And weak men make hard times.......
Agree I want a man to be a man no cry babies. Makes me think about the future generation of young men who I believe would weaken say the forces
stealing valor is not 'REAL MAN' shit, its one thing to idealize warriors who go off into the dust to protect their ideals, it is an entirely different and abhorrent thing to claim your are a veteran when you are not, no one in the military thinks 'weak men make hard times' it is a statement used by loner boys who are too afraid to face girls, it is disgusting to claim yourself on level of martyrs

@@josephpublico2337 more that those traits are usually prescribed as being masculine by our society but in reality both men and women can embody these traits same with feminine traits.
In short society dictates a lot of masculine and feminine expectations.
How is stoicism, physical/mental toughness and self-sufficiency toxic?
Because weak people and haters dont like it when they see self improvement in other people
Because governments wants to keep men weak and controllable. This video is beyond disgusting thinking that stoicism is disgusting when it helped me get through my anxiety. More feminist propaganda I guess?
When it needs to be constantly proven to others to cover extreme insecurities, and when it is detrimental to your life.
Self-sufficiency is one thing, but stubbornness to ask for help with literally anything at all is extremely fucking dumb.
Stoicism is the best thing I've found in life that helps, it isn't bury your emotions at all. What it is is learning to master those emotions and learn to use them positively. The dichotomy of control is one thing I've taken from my studying
Because weak males don't like strong males
I could MAYBE understand the "physical strength" being "toxic🤡" because of rape, sexual assault, bullying... etc
but "mental strength" ?? bruhhhh how is that toxic?
I agree
Physical prowess =/= assault, so that’s a logical fallacy, too. Assault = assault.
Even physical strength is not necessarily toxic simply because the average man could overpower a woman. Most gymbros are perfectly nice, decent people (anecdotal, but among my friends/acquaintances, the ones who are in shape and jacked tend to be the most comfortable and courteous around women). That college wrestler who got seriously wounded fighting off a bear to protect his friends was (fortunately) physically strong and not toxic.
People who abuse their strength (whether or not they have a lot of it) to dominate people weaker than them are toxic. Having a lot of physical strength is not an indicator for abusive behavior.
Ur comment makes little sense. There’s nothing toxic about being muscular lol.
But as far as the mental strength part…Having mental strength also includes the ability to be vulnerable.
Saying that men who cry are less than IS the toxic masculinity.
@@The-Mediatorcall it toxic or whatever but if a man cries it means he is emotionally weak and won’t become successful in The modern world. It means he is feminine and is depressed. Men are hardwired to be masculine and goal driven

Men being self sufficient and stoic is not a bad thing. It is actually a trait that just a few years ago would have been seen as normal. No men should not keep certain feelings inside. And no most men do not condone or promote rape culture
Simply saying "what was she wearing" promotes Rape Culture. Asking if she enjoyed it, regrets it, wanted it, all promotes it. Toxic Masculinity is when you have to force it on anything/anyone that somehow offends your sense of being a "hetero man" such as telling men that are sad to "man up" is to tell them "nobody cares, deal with it on your own time" which leads to the whole stoic hardship which is lot more common in males than it is females.

I am an extremely toxic male and I am raising my son to be the same way, aggressive, confident, and proud of his accomplishments. Right now he is 14 and under the training of a boxing coach and I have never been more proud.
Men, never EVER let these poisonous parasites we loosely call "people" influence you in any way.
@BoxingStorageChannel It's great that you're proud of your son's accomplishments and that he's dedicated to training in boxing. Encouraging confidence, discipline, and pride in one's achievements are positive traits. However, fostering healthy relationships, respect, and emotional balance is equally important for personal growth. Aggression can be useful in sports like boxing but should be tempered with self-control and understanding. Supporting your son’s development in both physical and emotional strength will help him succeed in all areas of life, not just in the ring.

"physical toughness" and "self sufficiency" can be toxic, can someone plzz explain ?
Those characteristics are not hurtful in themselves, the video explicitly states that they are present in most of men. The point is that excessive adherence to those ideals may signify toxic masculinity. You can think of those as symptoms, although not as unhealthy or lethal as regular ones.
@Anna Kimoto You just explained why mental/physical toughness is a crucial skill and wonderful mindset to have.
"Establishing self-sufficiency is an essential part of healthy mental wellness. - The Link Between Self-Sufficiency & Mental Health
There is nothing wrong with being independent. And it's good to be emotionally self-sufficient because you don't have to rely on other people for your own happiness. There are so many benefits to this, one being is you become more of a stable mental person and have a much better life. Without this, that means that if there were to be a moment where no one is there to help you, and you're in a lonely situation, AND you have this un-fullfilled dependence; you are LIKELY to resort to bad habits like, drinking, drugs, excessive smoking etc, which, if not already, could then lead to... you guessed it; suicide. You see, being self-sufficient is different from being selfish or self-centered. Now I'm not saying that if you just so happen to be more on the 'dependent side' then you're a really weak and inferior person. I'll even go as far and say that to become self-sufficient you first have to have certain assistance in some circumstances, that way you can apply it to your own life and learn from it causing a healthy growth and achieving to become more independent than you would have been in the learning stage. Then afterwards, have the capability to spread your knowledge for others.
The reasons why men kill themselves are completely the opposite of these masculine ideas and traits. It's a sad misconception that leads us far from the truth and the ability to improve.
I am speaking as someone who has seen now healthy men, have borderline suicide thoughts and mental health struggles and talk about their experiences and what they've learn. As well as my own past personal experiences and situations.
Have a good day/night.

You're funny.
I feel like this wasn’t written by a man
why?
@@MedicalCentric here's a better question, when was the last time you heard a woman critique "toxic femininity," or even claim that that's a genuine thing?
It wasn't.
How on earth are stoicism, being physically and mentally tough, and being self-sufficient toxic traits?!?!? Stoicism is a way to get the most out of your time and not waste it doing pointless, damaging, and instantly gratifying activities. It also helps you to not worry so much about material values but more so about mental values. Being physically tough enables you to stand your ground in difficult situations such as an unavoidable confrontation, as well as generally helping in everyday life and being mentally tough increases your determination and will-power... How is that seen as being destructive?!?! And I don't even have to explain the importance of self-sufficiency.
What I find funny is many of these traits are what a lot of women say they are drawn to, meaning stoicism, self reliance, physical and mental toughness. Imagine another scenario you and your partner are walking down the street after a movie and a guy jumps out of the bushes and wants to assault you and your partner. Does she want a man that will lay his life on the line to protect her or someone who is going to start to cry...
Those are not toxic traits. You still don’t get it. That’s not what toxic masculinity means.
Imagine they showed this video to men about to hit the Normandie Shores during D day.
The USA would be called Germany.
Yo this would make like a fire ronnie coleman or david goggins edit after this🔥🔥🔥
It sounds like you're thinking about creating a powerful and impactful edit with themes of strength and resilience, inspired by figures like Ronnie Coleman and David Goggins. Addressing toxic masculinity in such a context can be a compelling way to highlight the contrast between healthy expressions of strength and the harmful stereotypes associated with toxic masculinity. Using motivational visuals and narratives can effectively challenge and reframe those stereotypes.

A lot of dudes have no idea what charisma or personal sovereignty are, and it shows.
being stoic is toxic yhh right
Even if he's asleep, whisper in your man's ear... I love you. Men need to hear that when there is no obligation attached to it.
TLDR: Toxic masculinity is discriminating against others for personal choices like sexuality and sensitivity (but is only toxic when men do it).
Interpretation/application: any expansion of this definition quickly turns to vague gobbledegook about un-illustrated gender roles. The first 5 of the traits which may "exhibit toxicity" can be a natural expressions of personality and are not necessarily toxic unless they have become extreme (like most things). Also, no one gets to determine how sensitive and emotionally available a man should be, it is a personal choice.
And generally speak men have been choosing to be strong over the ages for different reasons...from protecting their families from wars to protecting their families from being broken.
So made up stuff?
Do they have a part 2 on Toxic Femininity? Women being over emotional should be on there.

being stoic is a good thing sometimes.
So what is actual toxic masculinity, unlike what the video says?
Nothing, it's a myth.
The closest you can get is being a douchebag.
These videos are why men are saying society wants to fight masculinity as it is a force of change and progress and society today wants weak obedient men who cause no trouble.
Mental and physical toughness should not be seen as toxic regardless of gender. You need people to be physically and mentally tough to enter professions, such as military, law-enforcement, firefighters, medicine etc. A lot of men these days need to learn a thing called perseverance. Buck up buttercups !
The men in the comments😂
They prospective patriarchy
If it is a perception, how can one not be toxic?
@happy :) It sounds asif you are calling yourself dumb! I hope you are ok x
I completely disagree with the premise of this video. A man’s masculinity is inherent, but a lack of morals is a choice, and it’s a choice that everyone (male and female) have to make.
Andrew Tate said it the best, in that you can’t take down a country until the men have been neutered.
aggression - good when focused in the correct areas but does need to be controlled. When you are working out being aggressive to help you push yourself more is good but you need to be able to turn that off the th moment you put the weights down.
being stoic - do your research, stoicisim is not and never has been about being emotionless, it's about having the mental fortitude to know that no matter what you got this and you can handle anything that comes your way.
Physical and Mental toughness - ... since when is being tough bad? These are good things regardless of gender.
Emotional insensitivity - okay fine, this I will give you, you ned to understand your own emotions and be sensitive to the emotions of others
self-sufficiency - again, regardless of gender this is a good thing. However I believe you are getting at men not asking for help and that I will give you, being able to ask for help when you need it is a good thing but keep in mind, struggle is how you build strength so not asking for help on a task you are struggling with so that you can build strength is good. Not asking for help when you clearly need it is bad.
discrimination against everything not hedro - fair, generally speaking this is bad.
On the whole this entire thing is utter nonsense!

Why is "physical and mental toughness" a bad thing? I played a competitive sport through school and college and I've pushed through the pain for important tournaments. I've picked myself back up from being demoralized to win from behind. Are those 'toxic' behaviors that propagate violence against women? I've also lifted weights 5+ times a week since I was a teenager to get better at my sport. Is that 'toxic'?
Toxic men are toxic. Masculinity (even defined by the shallow features in this video like physical strength and stoicism) is very healthy and contrary to what the media seems to parrot, a lot of women find masculine traits attractive.
Physical and mental toughness in sports can be positive attributes when balanced with empathy and respect.
@@MedicalCentric Yeah, but those are traits that are considered masculine. I've played a couple of sports very seriously and the first thing my coaches taught me were to respect the opponent.
My contention is with needlessly attaching 'masculinity' to behaviors by toxic individuals. Toxic people are toxic regardless of whet gender identity they conform to. Stereotypically masculine (that are not exclusive to men. Lots of women I know are strong and tough people) traits like ruggedness, strength, toughness are very positive in good people. At the same time, a bad person can use those same traits to hurt other people. Likewise, stereotypically feminine traits (again, not exclusive to women) like outward empathy, nurturing and sensitivity are very positive in good people, but a bad person can use those same traits to negatively manipulate other people or justify outdated social norms. I don't call it toxic femininity. Those are simply toxic people.

What is masculine about toxic masculinity?
Nothing.
Now let's switch things around. What is feminine about toxic femininity?
Nothing.
If there is something that I dislike the most is double standards. Anyone could get away with saying men are being toxic because they think they have to be tough. If I were to tell a woman she is being toxic because she is gossipy, then I would be considered sexist thanks to these double standards. What everyone must know is that because a lot of men are told to be tough and brave, that's how this entire system was made. From running a business to working in construction sites, men have made the impossible happen. Anyone who believes that women can do it to. They can. But the question is do they want to do it? We can tell men to show their feelings all we want but it's up to society to treat them with respect. You may think only men make fun of other men that show their feelings, but it's also women. In addition, women expect a man to be in control over his emotions when wanting to be in a relationship. It's just human nature. Naturally, a woman would want to be in a relationship with a man who has all of these "toxic traits." Surprising enough, women are more likely to be attracted to the bad boy type. So forget labeling an entire gender for problems going on in society. It's up to each individual to act in the most decent and well behaved manner. There is nothing masculine about toxic masculinity, there is nothing feminine about toxic femininity, and there is nothing humane about toxic humanity.
How about heard mentality, as if everyone is the same.
We preach individualism but once someone defies a certain group is going to be labeled as such.
I think the society is open about this kind of thinking. But we cannot easily eradicate the designed role of men from the beginning of being tough and strong. Eventually doors are opening and men are availably expressing themselves in healthy ways, being themselves and becoming the man they ought to be.
You don't understand us men. Being strong and tough is natural to us. Take that away, and we feel lost

It's all about balance,excess of anything is bad
The list of traits is highly defective. It seems like this simply is badly produced but it could be that the whole concept of toxic masculinity is not thought through. Self sufficiency, physical and mental toughness and stoicism (being able to endure adversity with calm) are critical virtues that allow for a peaceful, prosperous existence for a person, a family, a city or a country. I came to this video trying to understand this new term and I am left wondering whether anything intelligent is being said using this term today.
Toxic masculinity typically refers to the harmful behaviors and attitudes often linked to traditional masculine norms, and understanding it doesn't negate the value of positive traits like self-sufficiency or mental toughness, but rather addresses how their extreme enforcement can lead to detrimental outcomes.
@@MedicalCentric What you said is more intelligent than what the video said. Aristotle famously said that virtue was the mean between the extremes. These virtues could theoretically be taken to a negative extreme. However, I don’t see this as the typical problem of male behavior. The metoo movement was more on point, criticizing a range of sexual misconduct.
Being stoic is not toxic complaining is a bad thing because no one actually care about your problems isn't that true men ? Men are not supposed to do what they feel like doing ! eg you have to provide for your family and you feel like not going to work or you feel like just sleeping do that and see what happens
Proud example of toxic masculinity right here.
@RiseofTaitoShirei It takes a lot to recognize and challenge toxic behaviors, so if you're aware of it, that's a step in the right direction. Toxic masculinity harms everyone, including men, by enforcing harmful stereotypes. Embracing positive masculinity-like showing vulnerability, respect, and empathy-can lead to healthier, more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self.

Toxic masculinity refers to cultural norms and behaviors that promote harmful expectations for men, such as suppressing emotions, using aggression to solve problems, and asserting dominance over others. While strength and resilience are valuable traits, using them responsibly and with empathy is crucial. Embracing a more balanced view of masculinity, which includes vulnerability and compassion, can lead to healthier relationships and a more inclusive society.
Being macho makes you a predator and being masculine makes you a protector period.
