I think the idea is more that innately masculine men and boys socially inspire/pressure each other to harmful (to them and others, AKA toxic) heights of masculinity.

We can, but I don't think it gets at the real cause as effectively as narrowing it down to, for example, boys trying to out alpha male eachother. It doesn't get to a solution, either, whereas trying to educate people about how social interactions impact them just might help.

We can talk about intrasexual competition, sure. But we'd need to recognise all the implications of that. We don't need to go to original sin - it's in your very nature as a man/woman - to address negative behaviour. We've done that via Christianity for centuries.
