When I think of the most influential man in my life, I always think of my father.

By Brittany AndersonWeb Content Contributor Each year, International Men’s Day on Nov. 19 is met with much debate. Despite questions and concerns over the day’s rationale, it’s a great opportunity to address something that runs rampant within this particular community: toxic masculinity. It’s a complicated word.

November 19 is International Men’s Day, a day reserved for the celebration of all men -- big, small, sporty, nerdy, rugged, groomed -- each and every kind.
