“Toxic Masculinity” makes women concerned about working with men. However, since I spent my career in environments where women expect to find lots of toxic men and toxic masculinity to run rampant, I want to share what I learned about toxic behavior and how to control it.
Watch this YouTube video:
Working in a hard-core male industry I found that out of every 10-15 men, I could expect to find 1 toxic man.
I usually identified him because he spent a lot of time trying to make himself sound important or tough. He was usually the man I found to be the most obnoxious.
As women we frequently think their aggressive behavior makes a toxic man the Alpha male – and that is exactly what he wants us to think.
But, in reality, the toxic man is just an Alpha Wannabe.
As women, since we don’t understand relationship dynamics of our male colleagues, we get a lot of things about them wrong. For example, we’re taught that the Alpha male is horrible, toxic, oppressive, epitomizing every male behavior we hate.
That is NOT true!
In reality, the Real Alpha Male is our best and most powerful ally.
So, watch this video and learn how the male dynamic really works.
And by the way, my feedback from men has been that I got this right!
