Is traditional masculinity harmful?

@Peaceful I think the definition of it is up for debate, but I was thinking of the nature of being aggressive, averse to vulnerability, risk-taking, and overly competitive.

@Zoeoz I think in certain circumstances, no matter the gender, being aggressive can be necessary, being vulnerable should be reserved to those worthy of it, risk-taking has it's place depending on circumstances...as far as overly competitive? That is harmful to anyone.
I think the way we have been taught to raise men is something that needs to be examined further. Telling a little boy it isn't okay to cry and in a healthy way express his feelings is a huge misstep in my opinion.
