Supposed ‘toxic masculinity’ is an invention of gender activists, working mostly through social media, to reframe what is almost entirely domestic violence as gender-based violence. If all you have is an hammer, everything looks like a nail - my first law of activism. All of the actual research (as opposed to the social media-driven activism) has known for years that the real issue here is our models of domesticity, not gender. A classic case of how kidult culture replaced adult culture, turning realities into team sport social media trends.
