Interesting, most examples of toxic masculinity I see are related to machismo when it hurts men and those around them. Wikipedia [1] seems to consider masculinity toxic once it is considered “harm”. I’m curious if you have sources about it being related to lonely individualism.

Literally the second paragraph of your link: "Self-reliance and emotional repression are correlated with increased psychological problems in men such as depression, increased stress, and substance abuse." "Self-reliance and emotional repression" are phenomena which as the OP article says, are much less present in eg Armenia than America.
