Toxic Masculinity

[Weatherman2020]

Riley Howell had no option to run or hide, so he chose to fight. The UNCC student fought his assailant and in doing so possibly saved countless lives.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

Or you, the OP, could elaborate. What does this have to do with toxic masculinity?

I understand the title but realize that this topic doesn't necessary have to take that angle.

Sarcasm. OP obviously doesn't understand what toxic masculinity is. Big shocker.

I got that. I was trying to lead to the fact that the point the OP is attempting to make is ridiculous and comes from his own misunderstanding of the term.

Know the warning signs so you can seek help:

• Even the faintest whisper of facial hair - If you have a mustache, schedule a check-up. If you find a goatee on your face, consider going into the emergency room. If you have a full-grown beard, well, it's probably too late for you.
• A belief that men and women are at least a little bit different - Should you be infected with the cancerous idea that men and women are even the slightest bit different from one another, you could have toxic masculinity. If you're a woman who believes this, then you suffer from an even worse disease called internalized misogyny.
• Throwing a professional wrestler off a steel cage right through the announcer's table - Men who suddenly look around and find that they're tossing a professional wrestler off a steel cage to plummet right through the announcer's table are at high risk of developing toxic masculinity. If a man in your life is suffering from this symptom, encourage him to stop wrestling in the WWE immediately.
• Eating meat on occasion - A disease like toxic masculinity can quickly change your diet. If you find yourself leaving your vegan avocado quinoa toast smoothies untouched in favor of wolfing down some bacon-wrapped bacon, you might have toxic masculinity.
• Holding the door open for a woman once in a while - It looks innocent enough: a woman approaches, and you hold the door so she doesn't have to open it again. Seems like common courtesy, right? WRONG. It's one of the first warning signs of toxic masculinity, and you need to do better if you're going to beat this thing. One way to reduce your toxic masculinity is to slam the door right in a woman's face and scream, "EQUALITY!!!" through the glass when she glares at you.
• Yelling stuff about freedom and charging into battle wearing blue face paint - If you find yourself charging into battle against the English wearing blue face paint in the 14th century, you might be beyond medical help. Do all of society a favor and get yourself drawn and quartered so no one else catches this contagious illness.
• Being a man who doesn't hate himself - This is the most telling sign. If you're a biological male and you don't hate yourself, toxic masculinity is already coursing through your veins. If there's going to be any hope of recovery, you need to begin hating yourself today.

“Toxic Masculinity” means not being a worthless, Gilettized pussy.

The man described in the OP, when it really counted, was not a worthless, Gilettized pussy. He risked his life, and lost it, to save others.
