These are 5 examples of what toxic masculinity is

1. "The boys don't cry":

In a society that has taught men to repress their emotions (relegating the emotional to women, crossed out as weak for it), and men who express themselves openly are insulted by other men and call them weak.

2. "They have to fight"

. Aggressiveness as a form of conflict resolution between boys or men, completely forgetting the conversation. since if a man does not decide to fight knowing that the fight is unfair, he is called a coward by other men.

3. Football and blue clothes: boys stuff

"The theme of football during my childhood and adolescence became a nightmare," explains Octavio Salazar. "Many times I participated in the matches because I didn't feel displaced. It was what children played at recess, when leaving class, on the street and on weekends with competitions. I felt oppression as a dissident of the dominant model.

4. 'Nenaza', 'ladybug', 'mariconez': first and second men

"Uncles, if my son comes home and tries to play with my daughter's doll house, I break it in his head and I'm going to say 'stop, that's gay', the homophobic tweet of the year 2000 that has It cost Kevin Harst the Oscar presentation raises several realities. The first: violence as the resolution of conflicts that we already indicated. The second, mentioned just above, the fact that a child does not do these 'boy things' is considered insulting. The third: it is also susceptible to becoming insult. Using the feminine and the gay as a form of discredit is misogynistic and homophobic.

5. 'How can he not want sex, if he's an uncle!'

The idea of the sexual machine man who is always eager for sexual intercourse and who, in addition - and here comes a more murky nuance - feels legitimate to have it. That creates problems for men who feel they have to meet some expectations (from that pressure many problems of impotence derive, according to sexologists) and creates a model of a seductive male man who identifies virility or manhood with the greatest number of conquests and sexual partners
