Fragile Masculinity

This is a term used to describe a man who has a fragile sense of masculinity for whatever reason. It can be used for someone who tries too hard to fit the male stereotypes in fear of looking too feminine in front of society.
Jim: I wouldn't dare wear tight jeans, im scared that someone might think im gay.

Jordan: Dude, stop having such fragile masculinity and get over it. It doesnt matter how tight your jeans are, all that matters is how comfortable you are in them. Stop giving a shit about how 'manly' people think you are. Define 'manliness' through what you do, not through society's mindset.

False Masculinity

a very common misconception among the young and underdeveloped male society; it can be defined as someone who is immature thinking that their penis is what matters most in their lives and that a successful man is a man that is surrounded by females and the number of females that can get into bed with them. while in all reality it shows how much that person's brain is underdeveloped because life is about way more than just getting laid or getting women in bed, and usually men with false masculinity can't do anything in their lives and can't be anything so they just try to compensate for their lack of success in life with the number of women they degrade and get into bed, the number of people they can bully, and the number of drinks they can swallow before they black out.

Toxic Masculinity

A social science term that describes narrow repressive type of ideas about the male gender role, that defines masculinity as exaggerated masculine traits like being violent, unemotional, sexually aggressive, and so forth. Also suggests that men who act too emotional or maybe aren’t violent enough or don’t do all of the things that “real men” do, can get their “man card” taken away.

Many people confuse the difference between Masculinity and toxic Masculinity. However, one can be masculine without having toxic Masculinity.

Some beliefs of toxic masculinity is that:

-interactions between men and women always has to be competitive and not cooperative.

-men can never truly understand women and that men and women can never just be friends.

-That REAL men need to be strong and that showing emotion is a sign of weakness... unless it’s anger, that is considered okay.

-The idea that men can never be victims of abuse and talking about it is shameful.

-The idea that REAL men always want sex and are ready for it at any time.

-The idea that violence is the answer to everything and that REAL men solve their problems through violence.

-The idea that men could never be single parents and that men shouldn’t be very interactive in their children’s learning and development and that men should always be the dominant one in the relationship or else he’s a “Cuck.”

-The idea that any interest in a range of things that are strictly considered feminine would be an emasculation of a guy.
Guy: A Real Man doesn’t stay home and take care of his kids while his wife works. You’re a cuck.

Other guy: I don’t need your toxic Masculinity and preconceived notions of what it means to be a “real mean.”

Toxic masculinity

is when you think you have to stand up to pee in order to somehow prove to yourself that you're a real man. A real man, however, stands up to pee because he choses to, not because somebody's idea of masculinity says he should. Likewise, he can damn well chose to sit down to piss if he so desires.
Masculinity is awesome. It is when it becomes forced that it becomes toxic masculinity, and it helps nobody.
