What is masculinity?
Masculinity is a social and cultural construct that refers to the traits, roles, and behaviors traditionally associated with men and masculinity in society.
Currently, masculinity is talked about almost everywhere online, including until Andrew Tate was detained by the Romanian Police.
Many people said that Andrew Tate it was providing toxic information and not real, productive information.
In some circumstances I agree with him, and in others I don't, because in my opinion he doesn't express it from a positive perspective.
In my opinion, masculinity represents a balanced man, both rationally and emotionally.
What do I mean? It is rational in order to know how to be protective, confident, and secure, but it is emotional in order to inspire empathy, emotions, love, affection, etc.

Signs of toxic masculinity
Toxic masculinity is a concept that describes the cultural norms, traits, and behaviors that define what it is to be a "real man" in a way that can have negative effects on men and people.
This concept of masculinity can promote and perpetuate harmful behaviors and attitudes, such as:
- Suppression of emotions: Toxic masculinity encourages men to repress their emotions and avoid expressing them openly. This can lead to difficulties in emotional communication and contribute to mental health problems.
- Aggression and violence: This social construct can promote physical or verbal aggression as a way to demonstrate masculinity or strength. This can lead to abusive relationships and violent behaviors.
- Dominance and control: Toxic masculinity can promote the idea that men should be dominant in relationships and control both their partners and others. This can lead to unhealthy relationships and gender discrimination.
- Pressure to perform: Men can feel intense pressure to conform to high standards of performance in various areas, including career, sexuality, and physicality. This pressure can lead to anxiety and stress.
- Resistance to help and vulnerability: Toxic masculinity can make men reluctant to seek help when they need it and avoid being vulnerable or showing weakness.
The previous aspects are some subpoints of what shows that you have or have toxic masculinity and not a productive one.
However, men have started to "wake up" as a result of the education that I or other men in this area provide.
