I don’t disagree that it’s toxic, but rather the whole “gotta be a big tough guy” attitude that you said it comes from—and a follow-up comment alluded to toxic masculinity, which in the case I was making it absolutely is not.

In any event, we can agree that it all boils down to distorted, irrational thinking, and do agree that it is entirely unhealthy.
