Love Island mental health concern as 'toxic femininity' reduces men to tears

The men of Love Island are being reduced to tears because of the women in ITV's reality show engaging in what some fans are calling 'toxic femininity'. It has left some viewers of the controversial series expressing concerns over the mental health of the island's male contestants.

Recent episodes of the programme have pushed some fans into accusing the female contestants of hypocrisy for acting like badly behaved men while purporting to celebrate their "sisterhood". It has sparked some furious debate on social media.

According to the Mail Online, the ringleaders are considered to be Tanya Manhenga, 22, Jessie Wynter, 26, and Olivia Hawkins, 27. Thursday's episode was a case in point in Casa Amor, when the men and women were split up, with some going to another villa and introduced to single females new to the show.
