In a growing list of things (such as umbrellas, phone cases, red/rose gold iPhones, baths, juice, candles, coats, listening to John Legend, finding gay girls attractive, finding themselves attractive, thinking your eyes look good, etc.) that men can no longer do or have and still be considered masculine, they can no longer hold their children. Especially out in public.
Toxic masculinity has a long history of taking things away from men, usually simple pleasures. However, posts like the one by Piers Morgan crosses the line in a new way. Even if it's just trolling, he's not just saying that Daniel Craig is less than a man because he's enjoying something feminine. He's saying Craig is less than a man because he's a father and participating in his child's life. He's shaming Craig for taking responsibility for his baby and loving his baby, for wanting to bring his child out in the world with him. And in a time when too many men are already unwilling to do so, we certainly don't need anyone famous reassuring those men that taking a step away from childcare is the right thing to do.
