I don't think that's necessarily true, if there had been a huge amount of success at counteracting the effects of toxic-masculinity, we would expect to see happier and more settled boys. I don't think we necessarily are - I think we must be very careful not to over-correct and label behaviours 'toxic' when they aren't any such thing. I think we must be very careful about labelling any gender specific behaviour as 'toxic' without considering why such a behaviour is in place, what purpose it serves and how best to manage it. Feminism as practiced the way it should be is dealing well with that - misandry, wrapped in the guise of feminism, isn't helping. We should be able to determine the difference. We cannot exchange hatred of women with hatred of men and expect a better society.
