PREFACE
What is Toxic Masculinity ? Whilst there is no standard definition, this term is often used in modern society to describe masculinity on a whole. Traditionally, peace, unity, brotherhood, harmony and stability were present in society, now one can argue just by observation that most of those traits and characteristics are a just that a thing of the past. One may argue that there are also many reasons/factors contributing to this but one of the biggest causes is that of toxic masculinity and fatherlessness.
It also might be important to note that this concept is given rise due to the large number of youths in modern society who are growing/grew up in a maternal/single parent household, with no one to really teach traditional masculine traits and values; High number of absenteeism in fatherhood, giving rise to young men portraying behaviours that are negative in society, this book hopes to educate on the subject matter but also give rise to a behaviourial change in society for our young men and future generation.
