​About Event

​What does toxic masculinity really mean?
And what does it not mean?

​In this our first Hot Boys Talk, we take a closer look at a term that is often misunderstood, misused, or weaponized and try to unpack it with nuance, honesty, and care.

While the topic centers on male socialization and masculine roles, the space is open to anyone who wants to engage with these questions thoughtfully and respectfully.

​Together with Christoph May, masculinity researcher and co-founder of the Detox Masculinity Institute, we’ll explore questions like:

​- What exactly is toxic masculinity and what isn’t?
- Am I toxic? Or afraid of being seen as toxic?
- What does positive masculinity look like today?
- How do emotions, vulnerability, and responsibility fit into this picture?
- What makes a good partner, father, friend, without shame or blame?

​This is not about labeling or accusing.
It’s about understanding patterns, reflecting honestly, and opening space for growth.

​The evening will include input, open discussion, and space for questions, with a clear focus on feelings, lived experience, and self reflection, not theory alone.
