Understanding Toxic Masculinity Assembly

This powerful and thought-provoking 30-slide assembly explores what it means to “be a man” in today’s world — challenging toxic stereotypes and empowering students to embrace healthy masculinity, mutual respect, and critical thinking in the age of online influence.

This Assembly Covers:

• What toxic masculinity is — and how toxic masculinity can harm boys, girls, and society
• Misogyny, online influencers (e.g. Andrew Tate), and how media shapes attitudes
• The impact of harmful messages on mental health
• What healthy masculinity looks like — respect, emotional openness, strength without harm
• Video discussion task featuring Gillette’s “The Best Men Can Be” campaign
• Creative follow-up activity: students design their own anti-toxic masculinity poster campaign

Help your students move beyond outdated stereotypes, recognise harmful messages, and grow into respectful, emotionally intelligent young men and allies.
