Panel discussion:
Toxic Masculinity

Frequent use of the phrase may result in some people misinterpreting what toxic masculinity is, which could lead to further misunderstanding and irritation. The concepts underlying ‘traditional’ masculinity are complex.

The exact definition of toxic masculinity has evolved over time.

In modern society, people often use the term toxic masculinity to describe exaggerated masculine traits that many cultures have widely accepted or glorified.

This harmful concept of masculinity also places significant importance on ‘manliness’ based on:

  • strength
  • lack of emotion
  • self-sufficiency
  • dominance
  • sexual virility

According to traditional toxic masculine values, a male who does not display enough of these traits may fall short of being a ‘real man.’

We would like to provide clarity and understanding around this topic and how it’s perceived by giving the Young Professional’s crowd a safe space to discuss.
