1. Brings the scout law to mind. I know it is for ideological reasons, that they do this, but I am surprised that so many people buy the whole bit about toxic masculinity being the same as traditional masculinity or as the predominant form of masculinity in past generations. What I find even more strange is that I bet the people most invested in toxic masculinity being typical have fathers and grandfathers who didn’t fit that description at all. Again I know it is largely for ideological reasons, but the gap between what they believe and their own lived experience is wild to see firsthand.
