Toxic masculinity may have been around for decades, but it has only been identified and labeled in recent years. These days, such behavior is also referred to as being in the “manosphere” or embodying the “red pill” mindset, which gives being male a bad name.
Of course, people evolve, and many, fortunately, rid themselves of their poisoned beliefs about women. Some of them even opened up in comment sections of various social media platforms, candidly sharing their eye-opening experiences.
Many see this as a step in the right direction and a breath of fresh air. Hopefully, this gives you the same sense of optimism.
