INTRODUCTION
In modern society, the question is being raised now more than ever, “Is masculinity on the decline?”. Many would argue yes as traditional masculinity is seemingly becoming non existent. Masculinity in many societies and cultures have different meaningwith various factors influencing masculinity and how it is to be portrayed such as: family background, religion, geographical location and even societal norm and because of different cultures, this may give rise to ambigiousity in defining true masculinity leadingto toxic behaviours being accepted and normalised as masculine behaviour to be portrayed in any society.
It has always been one of the unwritten rules of society that men are biologically leaders, protectors and providers in society whilst women are biologically wired to be nurturing, it becomes evident how male behaviour affects not only men but women in society. This concept is becoming mainstream in our society and if not addressed then our future generation will only live in dysfunctionality and destructive behaviour.
