From writer in Trinidad: Toxic masculinity running amok

Article here. Excerpt:

'What is evident from the violence that has taken hold in TT is parents afraid of their children, and a society living in fear. Barricaded in their homes behind burglar bars and security cameras, fearful of speaking up. Not helped by the fact a solution is yet to be found to stem the escalating violence. Not that there is a straightforward one.

The fact, however, is that violence, abuse and killing of women, children and crime overall are perpetrated predominantly by males.
...
That said, males need to help themselves by recognising and willingly admitting they have a problem, a desire to initiate change and sufficient discipline to maintain that change. To self-reflect (not a masculine thing to do) or seek professional help. It is, of course, easier said than done.'
