To answer your specific question, I'll give one example: there seems to be an intent to highlight "toxic masculinity" (a trendy construct that assumes toxicity is gendered) and to shame male attempts at boldness or sacrifice, which are traditional mythological tropes.

Toxic Masculinity does not refer to boldness and sacrifice, both of which are positive aspects. Nobody is shunning that stuff. It's primarily about the stuff like manning up and not crying, not showing weakness, calling people pussies, seeing women as inferior, status through domination, etc.

Sure, I know what toxic masculinity is supposed to mean, but the spirit of my comment relates how it's used by more zealous types, i.e., masculine traits are by definition toxic, oppressive, etc. (Also, save the last three, I wouldn't necessarily view your negatives as negative in all contexts.)
