Tl;dr: “The researchers found no evidence of boys learning toxic masculinity traits from their fathers—or their mothers. Instead, they found a very strong link between the relationships men had with other men. They noted that men with clear toxic masculinity traits tended to have far fewer male friends than other men and the kind of friendships they did have were rarely close.” The article didn’t offer any speculation as to why that might be the case. Edit: the stuff in quotes is a direct quote, unedited, from the article itself, so not sure why you would downvote that, I’m not stating my own opinions, just quoting what was written. Don’t shoot the messenger!
