Toxic Masculinity: A misnomer used to effeminize the Black and Hispanic Man Pt.3

The socialization of boys often normalizes violence, such as in the saying "boys will be boys" with regard to bullying and aggression. Other traditionally masculine traits such as devotion to work, pride in excelling at sports, and providing for one's family, are not considered to be "toxic". The concept was originally used by authors associated with the mythopoetic men's movement such as Shepherd Bliss to contrast stereotypical notions of masculinity with a "real" or "deep" masculinity that they say men have lost touch with in modern society.
