I also think some others in your list are outdated and just not the common behaviours of the majority of men these days and are mainly pushed as a thing now by anti male feminist aligned platforms.

I do appreciate these are behaviours in both men and women, but I think what turns something into a gender-led toxic behaviour is the reasoning for the behaviour and quite often it's linked to them acting that way because they think it's a threat to their masculinity to not behave that way.
I do also agree that many of these sorts of behaviours are dying out thankfully, but I do also think that the rise in popularity of people like Andrew Tate is creating a bit of an uptick in toxic behaviour in young men.
But I do understand your points, too.
