Toxic masculinity in a comic

In essence, toxic masculinity is the idea that men should behave in a specific way which is harmful to themselves and others. It does not mean that all forms of masculinity are bad.

Toxic masculinity says that men must not express their feelings - except anger - and instead deal with them through sheer manly fortitude. They are not supposed to ever ask anyone for help or engage in harmless activities that are deemed to be the realm of women. The most common expression of it is the ludicrous instruction parents tell their children : boys don't cry.
