Men and women both enforce this mindset. If a woman has also bought into toxic masculinity they will treat men who cage themselves inside of it better and want nothing to do with those who are free of it. Its part of why it took me until I was 30 to have a real relationship.
Toxic masculinity is bad for everyone. There is no one way to be a man, you don't lose you man card for liking certain things or doing certain things. You just might get treated like trash if you do and no longer be recognized by the toxic masculine cult as a man.
The people that matter will recognize you for who you are not for what twisted "virtue" signals you give off. I think toxic masculine infantilism is probably one of the worst natural logical conclusion to toxic masculinity.
Masculinity as we have it in the west wasn't even really a thing until sometime before WWII, what a gay scare was happening, and there was a fear of not enough men with fighting spirit, never mind the Spartans were gay as hell and could slaughter people with ease. Each generation the restrictions that define a man keep getting tighter and tighter to the point that having the vulnerability to make friends as an adult is too gay for men in the cult, leading to loneliness on a scale we have never before seen in history.
For the rest of the world being a man is all over the place on how you are defined as one. But the US especially can only look inward so most don't realize that men all over the world life outside of this cage and are still men. Are we against men or masculinity? No we want you to be able to define those terms however you choose and be treated as a person with all the respect you deserve due a person. But being a man baby or demanding a man abandon half of who he is for some stupid made up set of rules is hurting every including those who maintain it.

It's possible for the same person who presented a paper at an academic conference to spend whole days in bed, and for that to be a win. Because when I wake up, I usually feel like someone is driving a garbage truck through my head, and it takes a huge effort of will not to roll over and go back to sleep.

TFINER is an Atompunk Solar Sail Lookalike
It’s not every day we hear of a new space propulsion method. Even rarer to hear of one that actually seems halfway practical. Yet that’s what we have in the case of TFINER, a proposal by [James A. Bickford] we found summarized on Centauri Dreams by [Paul Gilster] .
TFINER stands for Thin-Film Nuclear Engine Rocket Engine, and it’s a hoot. The word “rocket” is in the name, so you know there’s got to be some reaction mass, but this thing looks more like a solar sail. The secret is that the “sail” is the rocket: as the name implies, it hosts a thin film of nuclear materialwhose decay products provide the reaction mass. (In the Phase I study for NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts office (NIAC), it’s alpha particles from Thorium-228 or Radium-228.) Alpha particles go pretty quick (about 5% c for these isotopes), so the ISP on this thing is amazing. (1.81 million seconds!)
Now you might be thinking, “nuclear decay is isotropic! The sail will thrust equally in both directions and go nowhere!”– which would be true, if the sail was made of Thorium or Radium. It’s not; the radioisotope is a 9.5 um thin film on a 35 um beryllium back-plane that’s going to absorb any alpha emissions going the wrong way around. 9.5um is thin enough that most of the alphas from the initial isotope and its decay products (lets not forget that most of this decay chain are alpha emitters — 5 in total for both Th and Ra) aimed roughly normal to the surface will make it out.
Since the payload is behind the sail, it’s going to need a touch of shielding or rather long shrouds; the reference design calls for 400 m cables. Playing out or reeling in the cables would allow for some degree of thrust-vectoring, but this thing isn’t going to turn on a dime.
It’s also not going to have oodles of thrust, but the small thrust it does produce is continuous, and will add up to large deltaV over time. After a few years, the thrust is going to fall off (the half-life of Th-228 is 1.91 years, or 5.74 for Ra-228; either way the decay products are too short-lived to matter) but [Bickford]’s paper gives terminal/cruising velocity in either case of ~100 km/s.
Sure, that’s not fast enough to be convenient to measure as a fraction of the speed of light, and maybe it’s not great for a quick trip to Alpha Centauri but that’s plenty fast enough for to reach the furthest reaches of our solar system. For a flyby, anyway: like a solid-fueled rocket, once your burn is done, it’s done. Stopping isn’t really on offer here. The proposal references extra-solar comets like Oumuamua as potential flyby targets. That, and the focus of the Sun’s gravitational lens effect. Said focus is fortunately not a point, but a line, so no worries about a “blink and you miss it” fast-flyby. You can imagine we love both of those ideas.
NASA must have too, since NIAC was interested enough to advance this concept to a Phase II study. As reported at Centauri Dreams, the Phase II study will involve some actual hardware, albeit a ~1 square centimeter demonstrator rather than anything that will fly. We look forward to it. Future work also apparently includes the idea of combining the TFINER concept with an actual solar sail to get maximum possible delta-V from an Oberth-effect sundive. We really look forward to that one.

The image shows a tattoo on someone's back. The tattoo features a cartoon character resembling Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, depicted in a playful pose with his tongue sticking out. Above the character, there is text that reads "Hey Pooh You in there!" in a casual, handwritten style. The tattoo is colored, with the character in shades of orange and blue, and the text in blue. The background of the tattoo is the person's skin, which appears to be light in color. The text "MY NEXT TATTOO" is superimposed at the top of the image in bold, white letters with a black outline, indicating that this is a planned tattoo.
