The need to evaluate men's ways of expressing emotion, and to judge that one is more "masculine" than another?
I'd be glad to see an end to that too.
I'll kindly disagree. Masculinity is framed as being inert as a rock at all times, and it takes a big toll on everyone.
Moving the definition of masculinity towards humanity is a good thing. We shall move all three words to the same point, so being human can't be defined in terms of being of a gender.
In short, this behavior is all three: Masculinity, femininity and humanity. These three words shan't have different meanings in this case.
We shall be humans first.
I agree with @bayindirh
in this case defining masculinity with behaviors further away from toxic masculinity (show of affection and show of empathy to the point of crying, in an extremely public context) effectively dismantles the gender stereotypes highlighting their uselessness in setting role models.
