I like toxic masculinity. Keeps the flowers away. Allergies, you understand. Anger is an emotion too. But this emotion should be supplanted by more healthy alternatives, right? That isn't showing emotion, it is regulating emotion. This directly contradicts the problem you have defined. Personally I haven't seen any calls to man up, at least in my generation. There are situations where showing emotion is discouraged, maybe you would get made fun off, but that depends far more on your social class and circle. Far more often and recently is the proposal that men should manage their supposed toxicity and that they have to share to do so. And with a lot of flowers. Don't know where that comes from, but in that case I like toxic masculinity indeed. I do believe that some of your axioms are a net negative for mental well being. For women and men alike for that matter since it sounds to me that you pathologize normal emotions. Just my opinion, don't let me keep you some breathing exercises might be healthy indeed and if it is just to get some oxygen into your head. But I really would like to know when, how and what emotions your friends suppressed. Or some men in general believe they cannot share.
