Lehigh University To Host Men's Cuddling Group In Attempt To Heal Toxic Masculinity
Toxic masculinity is a hot topic in the woke streets. As a college student, it’s rare for me to go through a week without one of my professors or fellow students bringing up “toxic masculinity.” Last year, we saw Texas “expanded” masculinity with this:
Inspiring to say the least.
Now, it’s Lehigh University’s turn to take on the disease that is allegedly destroying our culture.

Now, I’m all for improvement in mental health areas, but I think I’m going to pass on this one. If it works for these “cuddlists” then more power to them. This is just one of those 2019 events that I think about trying to explain to the men who fought in World War II. “Yeah, in almost 100 years, the men of America will be joining cuddlist groups, not for sexual reasons though. They just need to redefine their masculinity.” That would just be a tough one to explain.
P.s. I searched Lehigh for any events on toxic femininity, but could not find any. Weird, considering we are under a year from a sorority on their campus getting caught doing a sexual scavenger hunt:
