Westernized notions of "manhood" is almost the sole source of toxic masculinity globally in contrast to other cultures. A united movement to oppose it seems the best way forward in challenging it
Something I have been noticing all the time is that when people Preference-Assume and act toxic against a man for how he expressed himself, his values or how he dresses its almost always only the people who are westernized or colonised to accept westernized manhood. Its westernized people who say "If a man dresses or acts this way then its gay" and so on.
On the other hand in Non-Westernized or Indigenous cultures I notice all diverse expressions of masculinity are pretty much accepted, no matter how much they might differ. It might be seen as a niche but there are no preference assumers who erase others.
If there can be a movement of united effort against Westernized Manhood worldwide I think real progress could be made. Asian men, Indigenous men, autistic men or anybody in general who is oppressed by it who wishes to rebel against Western Manhood's hegemony.
