The terms “masculinity” and “toxic masculinity” are used quite a bit in our culture. Last year a wing of the American Psychological Association produced “Guidelines for Practice with Boys and Men,” equating masculinity with mainly negative characteristics, and guiding therapists to try to remove masculinity from male clients as the best way to make men whole.
