Very cool. What do you mean by redefining masculinity?

Thank you. I think the main thing would be making it more acceptable for men to exhibit qualities traditionally deemed feminine like empathy. Sociologist Michael Kimmel came up with idea of the 'act like a man box' that men have to fit into. If men step outside the box they can be verbally and physically abused.

Toxic masculinity or Hegemonic masculinity are variations of masculinity which harm men and others.
