Looking for experts to discuss 'toxic masculinity' and 'feminine/masculine energy.'

Hello everyone. I am a service designer currently looking to understand more about toxic masculinity, and the psychology behind it, in order to come up with ideas to address the problem. I would love to discuss this topic with phycologists, coaches, therapists, academics, scientists etc in order to better understand these questions...> What causes toxic masculinity?> What needs to happen to address toxic masculinity (scientifically speaking)?> How can an imbalance of masculine and feminine energy be corrected?> Any books you recommend reading?I understand these might be super tough questions, so please don't feel you have to answer them directly, I would just love to open a discussion on this topic. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
To be honest, every time I hear the term "feminine energy" or "masculine energy" I cringe. It seems so reductive to try to classify everything as one or the other, especially because the things that make me _me_ often people like to put into the "masculine" bucket, and I don't identify with what people put in the "feminine" bucket and frankly, I call bullshit. I'm a woman and don't see why the traits I have aren't "feminine".
