It has become quite normal to dismiss out of hand any possible positive connotations with masculinity. Slowly but surely, masculinity has become the problem in and of itself. You cannot Google the term without encountering the word 'toxic'. There's a kind of general consensus that masculinity is inherently harmful. The field of psychology is heavily dominated by women who don't even notice when they're being sexist, and who publicly say things without butting an eyelid that would create an uproar if they were said by men about women. We in the west live in a gynocentric world, in which we have to say it's still a man's world in order to be seen and heard at all.
