When a guy gets into a confrontation and is challenged to violence, way more is on the line than his safety. If the guy declines, he will be made to feel like he's not a legitimate member of his gender for not risking brain damage over something petty, while if one woman refuses to fight another woman, noone would tell her she can't be a real lady, in fact, quite the opposite. We live in a culture that emasculated men for not risking their lives over nothing. Remember this next time your man is in a conflict, girls?

I feel like that's an example of toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity isn't saying men are toxic, but the traits and stereotypes that are considered masculine that are harmful are toxic. Being a man doesn't mean you have to be aggressive, and it's terrible that society has been pushing that for so long, it can be so harmful to everyone
