There isn't a "crisis in masculinity."
There are just guys who can't cope with there being any standards or expectations for their behavior at all after being told they could literally do whatever they wanted and treat people like property.
There's a reason every proposed "solution" is misogynist as hell and involves forcing women into a social position where their lives, bodies, and livelihoods are entirely controlled by men.
Because these men are pigs and want to live life on easy mode.

I first read this as “true men”, and I think in my misread, you've coined a perfect term. :-)
“True Men” (as in those who don’t need to diminish others to prove some kind of dominance bullshit) are also victims of toxic masculinity. And yes, it's largely up to them (us) to solve the problem.
@dariusdunlap "true men" or "real men" or whatever other way to set up a classification is...still toxic masculinity.
Trying to rebrand "real men" as a good thing is just another way to make certain people feel good and ignore continuing problems.
It's perfectly fine to label actions as good or bad without attaching them to a definition of masculinity.
