Male beauty and toxic masculinity in focus

Male beauty and toxic masculinity in focus

There's a lot of talk about how men should look and act.

Some people, like President Trump, focus a lot on what makes a man attractive, like being tall, rich, and muscular.

Others, like Vice-President Vance, criticize men who don't fit these strict rules, like when he commented on Biden eating ice cream.

This kind of talk can be harmful because it sets unrealistic standards and judges men harshly.

On the other hand, some people think male beauty should be celebrated without all the negativity.

Comedian Bransen Gates even makes fun of Trump's comments about 'hot guys' to show how silly these standards can be.
