There are a decent number of people just in these comments that are willing to just dismiss this as 'toxic masculinity' and move on. They think toxic masculinity is something entirely created and maintained by men. It is not. Many men have stories of women holding them to toxic masculine standards.

It is an explanation of the misconception many people are under and why it is a misconception.

It is commentary that makes no assumptions of the person reading it.

It is an assumption of your first sentence is true. It’s even going into prediction.

What part is either assumption or prediction? Just read the comments.
