Do people not realize that toxic masculinity is a learned behavior that's passed from father to son and reinforced by the rest of society? When I was growing up women wouldn't even look at you if you weren't some overtly aggressive nigga.
People randomly shouting "stop being toxically masculine" does nothing when every moment of your life you have at the very least put on the front that you'll take someones head off for inhaling in a way you don't like.
Shit doesn't just go away with women saying they want a "sensitive" guy but many cultures train girls to be attracted to the archetypal "alpha" male. This shit isn't really a choice for most men and they don't know how to stop. Yes, Toxic Masculinity fucking sucks.
No, I don't know how to rid the world of it.
Yes, I do wish we could move past all of this.
