This example, as shown by Jackson Katz in his Ted Talk “Violence against Women—it’s a Men’s Issue,” is just one example of how toxic masculinity reshapes our thinking. “It tends to lean toward hyper-violence, hyper-sexualization, a disregard for anyone other than the man standing there in front,” said Mi- chael Goebel, lecturer of sociology. When teaching about toxic masculinity, it’s important to understand that professors and advocates can’t just “rip the carpet out from under people,” according to Goeb- el, it has to be something that is done from the inside out for most men. “I have found in forty years of activism that the toxic/healthy dichotomy [in masculinity] doesn’t resonate for many men,” Michael Kimmel, one of the world’s leading experts on men and masculinities and a distin- guished professor of sociology and gender studies at Stony Brook University, said during an interview with Signs Jour- nal. “I feel that when we come to them and talk about toxic masculinity, they very often think that we’re telling them they’re doing it wrong, that they’re bad, and they have to change and give up their ideas of masculinity, the toxic ones, and embrace the new one,” 88.7% Kimmel said. of murder and non-negligent Denise Oles-Acevedo, senior lecturer of English, also states toxic masculinity manslaughter charges to any one race or shapes the idea that violence equals mascu- identity.
