Toxic Masculinity is Learned
https://twitter.com/DaddyFiles/status/1054527579204530176
It might not come as a surprise to anyone in this class to learn that toxic masculinity is a learned trait, usually learned from parents. However, it's always disappointing to see it surface within a kindergarten class.
On the flip side, it's always amazing to see parents, especially fathers, teaching tolerance and accepting their kids for who they are. Even/especially if those kids have dualities that include loving both stereotypical boy activities (fishing) and stereotypical girl activities (painting one's nails)
