Article Evaluation
On the Toxic Masculinity section, it focuses on Connell's and Messerschmidt's article "Hegemonic Masculinity" and first explains what toxic masculinity is and how it is commonly defined.

The article goes into detail about the psychological and the health effects that it can have on a person. It explores the situations that many male prisoners are forced to endure, which include going into how men are treated there, and since they have to hold back emotions or show any signs of weaknesses, the suicide rate among male prisoners is extremely high. They compared that to people being bullied at school, and this is where it begins with reinforcing the stereotype that "boys will be boys."

The health affects are what is more the serious. It states in the article that most people who are like this tend to be depressed, have body image issues, are socially awkward, ect. And the main point is that since they cannot express that they feel another of those things listed, their issues only get worse while they only get more aggressive because it is the only thing they know how to do.

Some examples of these movements include Men's Rights Activist (MRA), which is the main group in which men claim they claim to strive for equality.

Change "salient" to "important" in first line of Toxic Masculinity since it talks about dumbing it down

Change "interpersonal" to "intimate relations with others"
