If Barbie has taught us anything, it's that women can do anything. But an increasing number of people are saying young men and boys are now crying out for role models on how to be the best version of themselves.
If you know what it refers to then why complain? Why pretend this is some big attack on masculinity as a whole when it's obviously not? Toxic is an adjective, it is used to separate the bad stereotypical attributes of masculinity from the good. No one is suggesting these behaviours can only exist in men and I don't know why you're so offended by the use of gendered words when we are specifically talking about problems associated with one gender. Enough with the manufactured outrage, engage in good faith for once.
Rather than make snarky, half-arsed replies why not take the time to articulate why you think "toxic masculinity" is such a problematic term? Why not engage in good faith with other people instead of instantly trying to turn this into yet another polarised yawnfest argument?
Men need feminism too. Patriarchy and toxic masculinity harm both men and women in different ways.

Opening with "ah yes" followed immediately by sarcasm is snarky. And yes, 13 words is a pretty half-arsed attempt. I think you can do better.

Well, yeah mate
'Boys don't cry strong silent type don't show any emotion beyond anger' is not a societal pressure applied to women.
It is however, very much a toxic version of perceived masculinity
