Suicide up, mass shootings up, hmmmm. I think this has to do with more than guns, I feel like our way of life is starting to show long term effects on human psychology, for instance more basics than mental health, like how many people we interact with on a weekly basis, how life is almost too convenient. No struggle, and then boom people snap because they aren't acclimated to the difficulties life is suppose to bring....End/Rant.

i remember back in the day when i use to be playing hella online multiplayer games like cod and halo so many racist trash online. it was so easy to get them mad. i was king at making a racist look stupid during multiplayer games. they had no good responses when they moms and wives were brought into the equation and maybe their love for the king size chocolate bars were the reason for their racism.
hella shirts were taken off back in the day
i imagine its worse now with trump as president

toxic masculinity is referring to overcompensation for a lack of traditionally male-associated values, like honor, responsibility, etc. the complete lack of those values manifests often as toxic masculinity:
avoidance, anger, entitlement, distorted view of reality, inability to rationalize normal behavior, victim blaming, disrespect of women (or other groups considered outsiders), preying on weaker people (or use of violence/weapons to confront problems because they otherwise feel helpless), etc etc

Parenting is in the garbage so it’s no surprise why all these things are the new normal. It’s time for people to start getting certified to have children. (Semi serious)

There’s no denying that it’s exclusively males committing these types of crimes.
This toxic masculinity label is being misused though. With school shooters it’s much more likely to be a case of emasculation. Anger, bitterness, envy and resentment lead to these shootings which are not masculine traits by definition.
School shootings aside, while we are bound to this human form, male aggression and violence will always be a problem in society. It cannot be removed entirely. It can only be managed. And that’s where we are ******* up.

Sure thing buddy. I’m confident in my abilities as a human, male, and father of 2 boys. So you can keep spewing your over-idealistic liberal arts class garbage. I’ll stick to raising my boys properly.

Perhaps. However, Toxic or rather, "hypermasculinity" can be the result of emasculation. "Emasculation" really only exists due to the idea or conception of what it means to be masculine in the first place.
So from that perspective, you could argue that the emasculation you're referring to, the anger bitterness and envy that you alluded to, is a direct correlation to masculinity. You can't be emasculated w/o the idea of masculinity and if your response is to kill everyone when you've been emasculated, then that is directly tied to hypermasculinity.
And I agree that male aggression and violence is at this point innate. But I think we can both agree that something has to be done to tame that aggression down significantly. What that something is? Idk.

One can look at masculinity as a concept.
I see it more as an ancient ingrained survival strategy .
Addressing " toxic masculinity" is literally asking every grown man with a family, to trust that all other men on earth are educated, non violent and on the same page. Its an all or nothing deal. Every last person needs to behave or people will always want to defend themselves.
Raising all the babies to be softies to combat this concept
A) will never work due to genetics
B) open the doors for some hardcores to walk in and make Rome fall.
We will continue to fight for status and mates like every other mammal and if a real war ever kicks off, the people hating on toxic masculinity will be looking for some to hide behind

Man you’re taking this way left field. You spoke against masculinity being a factor and then began to list factors of “masculinity” as your determining factors. That’s all
For the record I don’t think masculinity has anything to do what just happened
