To wit, toxic masculinity is probably more harmful to men than it is to women.

The concept is good, but it is so poorly named that I am pretty sure it was designed solely to be as inflammatory as possible especially given that the feminine version of the concept does not have an overly inflammatory name.

It's excellently named. It concisely states that there is a societal ideal of manliness (i.e. masculinity) that seems benign or neutral in small doses, but grossly harmful when taken as a whole (i.e. toxic). It's decidedly not saying "men are bad", as it's not called "toxic maleness", and "masculinity" and "maleness" are two different things.
