Have the psychology researchers been wrong in how they've defined and studied "Toxic Masculinity?"

I have a student studying toxic masculinity.

Psychology researchers have traditionally defined "toxic masculinity" as men who are high in traits considered "masculine." We think they may be wrong.

We think there may be men who are high in masculine traits but who are not "toxic" We predict there are two groups of men who score high on traits considered "masculine"

In one group the men score high in traits of masculinity and high in traits of "psychopathy."

These are the guys who lack empathy, are self-serving, they externalize blame and never worry about harming others . That's toxic.

—These are the poster boys for toxic masculinity. (Should I name the politicians in this group?)

In another group the men score high on traits of masculinity and low in traits of "psychopathy."

These are the guys whose high levels of masculine traits function to protect women and children. That’s not toxic.

--These are the guys women want to marry.

This is a great research question: What do you think? Will we find two groups high on masculine traits but who differ in anti-social, psychopathic traits?
