It's supposed to mean stuff like not asking for help when you need it, or being overly aggressive in social situations so you don't appear weak. FWIW I hate the term because it's become a catch-all for "things men do that I personally don't like". |

Being overly aggressive sounds like a character flaw, psychological problem or poor social conditioning.
I guess if you really want you can label them masculinity and then you'd be right but personally I struggle to draw the connection and find the idea of tying the word toxic to a gender dangerous. Nothing wrong with being masculine. Nothing wrong with being feminine. Nothing wrong with being overly either whichever your gender.
People who want to label me toxic for having a penis is going to struggle working with me, and it isn't my masculinity that's the problem.
(I'm aware you're just trying to explain here, not aiming any of this towards yourself)
