A lefty acknowledging that men are human and have problems of their own? Maybe that we're not the essence of evil?
Perhaps there is hope for this world after all.
This is what happens everytime you try this.
"What do you mean it sucks to be a man! Yeah right bro, I'm the king of the mountain, har har! Other men are just pussies!" etc, etc, proves the point of the article and you go in endless circles because some men are insecure and won't allow people to think they're weak whatsoever.
It's just as much a denial as strongk, indepeeendant womanzz who don't need nobawdy.
As other people said, please note who is casually dismissing the idea that men might have mental problems that can't be solved by the usual suspects techniques (''TUFFENING UP'' and buying more guns)
And I'm going to say it again, few things are richer than American crying over the draft. You are amongst a small group of countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK) who are historically known for not having used compulsory conscription for most of their history. All other Europeans countries had way more extensive conscription than what you call the draft for decades.

You literally do not understand a single fucking thing going on here.
Men are NOT suffering societal hardships due to being male. That doesn't exist in most 1st world countries.
Women, however, DO \suffer societal hardships for being female, in nearly every culture.
These are facts. Understanding them doesn't make a person an SJW, white knight, edge lord, or any other meme worthy hashtag.
EDIT: I think i owe you an apology. I'm rereading what you wrote and I realize I maybe reading you wrong, which is extra an ridiculous indictment of me considering how I started my post to you. Anyway, I'm an idiot and sorry.

And by appearing strong, you mean what exactly ? What ooze the most the raw testosterone ?
A)Advocating for warcrimes online and/or to shoot petty shoplifters ?
B)Having seventy guns and bragging about you are ready (read : terrified) for (read : of) anything ?
C)Copypasting like a puppet agitprop instructions ?
Well, most of the times that I hear about toxic masculinity, or hypermasculinity, it's by men being applied to other men.
Always found it to be pretty damned pathetic, really. Humans are emotional creatures, and we all need help. Being born with your reproductive organs on the outside says zero worthwhile things about you as a person. A man has every right to feel overburdened, or unwillingness to shoulder certain responsibilities.

Humans are above "base instincts" in most situations.
Plenty of men not fitting into categories such as toxic masculinity or hyper-masculinity have people attracted to them. Saying that men need to pretend to be a certain way "because of womyn", is just another way of shifting blame onto the sex that has the least guilt on the matter.
Women are not a hive mind, there are women wanting different things. Feeling attracted to hyper-masculinity is usually a thing in younger, naive women. Sadly, many men only want those younger, fresher women so naturally they'll need to adapt.
