The Surprising Research on Toxic Masculinity
There is a growing cultural belief that masculinity is toxic, but research challenges this notion. Sociologists have found that evangelical Christian men test out as the most loving husbands and fathers, contradicting the negative stereotypes often associated with Christian men. Christian husbands are shown to be the most loving and engaged with their families and have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence. This research highlights the importance of presenting a more accurate narrative of masculinity and challenging the negative perceptions that society often holds.
