This article discusses the emergence of ?toxic? and ?healthy masculinity? in public discourse in addressing gender inequalities. ?Toxic? has emerged through greater awareness of men?s violence against women, and men?s high rates of health distress and lack of help-seeking. ?Healthy? is thus a response to ?toxic masculinity?, attempting to encourage men to engage in expressions of masculinity that are not harmful to others, or themselves as a way to address gender inequalities. This article argues that in using a term such as ?toxic masculinity?, we continue to position men as victims of a broader vague entity rather than highlighting their agency in the reproduction of masculinity. Equally, in using a term such as ?healthy masculinity?, we continue to set masculinity up as the only expression of gender that men can legitimately engage in, thus reinforcing the notion that femininity (and by extension, androgyny) remains a less valued, and less legitimate, expression of gender. In doing so, ?toxic? and ?healthy masculinity? continue to reproduce, rather than address gender inequalities, and do not support the breaking down of gender binaries.
