If a person’s conception of their own masculinity relies on the dominance and subjugation of others, particularly women, and sexual conquest, or not expressing the full range of human emotion (ie crying being “unmanly”) that’s a type of toxic masculinity.
There are certain masculine traits you'd like to see become more common and others less common. How does it help you scientifically, as an anthro/bio person, to call the second 'toxic'? Sounds like shameless moralizing rather than objective science.

The debate over cultural relativism vs. human rights rages on. My personal morals lie on the side of minimizing harm to people. And many men in our culture have identified this type of masculinity as toxic to themselves, linked to high rates of depression and suicide.

Additionally “toxic masculinity” isn’t my wording or concept, it’s an already existent concept in social sciences. But I think it’s apt, it is referring to a masculinity that actively harms a population’s health and functioning.
