What We Mean When We Say, ‘Toxic Masculinity’?
The popular term points toward very real problems of male violence and sexism. But it risks misrepresenting what actually causes them and its effects.
Toxic masculinity is a concept used to define unhealthy and often traditional characteristics or attributes associated with men. From being unemotional and power-hungry to narcissistic and violent, men are oftentimes defined by these outdated and unfounded stereotypes which create an unhealthy and unrealistic understanding of what it means to be a man in today’s society.
The former barber and stylist of Philly’s Badd Boy Cuts located at 54th and Market, just underneath the westbound side of the Market-Frankford El line, was a regular destination for Black men and women from all over the city. But in addition to dishing out fresh fades and close shaves, Butler, 37, was no stranger to routinely doling out advice.
“I’ve heard it all,” said Butler, who left the professional barber life to start his own company. “People want to tell you about their love life, their kids, money problems, whatever. It’s like you get them in the chair, put them in vulnerable positions and they feel like they can trust you. I mean if I let a complete stranger put a blade to my neck, I suppose I’d trust them too.”
The show must go on, even amid a pandemic Student performing arts groups continue to persevere putting together new virtual shows featuring dance, comedy, music, and drama this fall. Penn student performing arts groups found ways to create virtual productions during the pandemic, often editing individual videos to bring them together. The Arts House Dance Company members, including senior and chair Erin Bailey, performed solos outside while wearing masks to create “The Movement Series” three-part video.
Penn student performers persevered during the pandemic, finding innovative ways to create new shows together while staying apart during pandemic restrictions. Acting, dancing, singing, creating comedy, playing instruments, and more, they were able to collaborate and stay connected with each other and newly recruited members.
