    Toxic Masculinity (ft. Alec and Louis from 'The Unfiltered Show')

    In this day and age, masculinity is breaking stereotypes, gender roles and reinventing itself. However, traditional roles and expectations are still being required despite progression. I speak with Alec and Louis, from The Unfiltered Show, on their thoughts, perspectives on what toxic masculinity is and how it's effecting everyday man. Can we push past outdated ideals and break generational cycle of what it means to be masculine?
