You’ve heard of toxic masculinity, but what is positive masculinity?

You’ve heard of toxic masculinity, but what is positive masculinity?

When it comes to discussions of men and gender, it’s almost impossible to avoid saying or hearing the term toxic masculinity. It’s recently become a zeitgeisty and catch-all explanation for all instances of poor male behaviour.

But are we too quick to reach for it as a label given no one has agreed what the phrase actually means?

And if we no longer want “boy to be boys,” what exactly do we expect of them?

Hunter Johnson is the founder and CEO of Man Cave, an emotional intelligence charity that is taking on toxic masculinity. He’s worked with 30,000 young Aussie men too and is encouraging them to embrace a new kind of masculinity.
