The much-anticipated trailer of Marvel’s Spider-Man por fin ha salido a la luz. Mientras que la mayoría de los mortales tuvimos que verlo en YouTube, unos pocos fans afortunados tuvieron la oportunidad de asistir a un evento especial en el que pudieron ver el tráiler con el reparto.

Newsflash for all you tough guys out there: Superheroes cry too. And if Spider-Man can do it, why can’t you?
Have we finally reached an era where it’s acceptable for guys to show their emotions? Have we evolved to the point where we can accept that they’re not the “stronger sex” – they’re just human beings made out of flesh and blood… and a heart?
Has our society reached the point where it’s okay for a big, macho man to admit he has weaknesses without being called a sissy? Where he can say he’s afraid without the fear of being classified as a coward?
Have men finally realized they’re not tougher or more attractive if they pretend to be emotionless robots? Have women opened their eyes and stopped seeing toxic masculinity as appealing?
Eso espero. Y Tom Holland también.
Sin embargo, no es la primera vez que la joven estrella habla públicamente de sus sentimientos. Recientemente concedió una entrevista a la revista Total Film, en la que reveló que la franquicia cinematográfica le ayudó mucho a confiar en sí mismo.
“I’ve grown and changed in the best ways possible. I really learned how to stand up for myself. When you first start making these films, you’ve got to do as you’re told, and you don’t think anything of it. But as time goes on, you realize that you’re an actor in your film, and you need to protect yourself. Sometimes I’ll say ‘no’ as a full sentence. I’ve learned how to stand up for myself, how to behave in a professional capacity when you’re the leader. I’ve learned how to enjoy my fame rather than run away from it.”
“It’s been an amazing experience. And as an actor, I’ve found so much confidence in my ability through having this safety blanket that is Spider-Man. It’s like a playground for me. Somewhere I can play freely and make mistakes. And sometimes those mistakes are the birth of the best idea, and that’s where the character’s growing from.”
¿Puede un hombre ser más duro que esto? Es decir, no tiene ningún problema en hablar públicamente de sus inseguridades ni en llorar ante el público.

¿Qué es la masculinidad tóxica?
But just in case, let’s revise our knowledge about masculinidad tóxica. Oxford dictionary defines it as “a set of attitudes and ways of behaving stereotypically associated with or expected of men, regarded as having a negative impact on men and on society as a whole.”
Let’s talk things through in a simpler manner.
You know how guys are terrible at paying other men compliments? Even when they do it, they’ll add “no homo” without fail.
What does this tell you? That every straight guy in the world is homophobic? I don’t think so.
They’re just victims of a system. As a “hombre de verdad,” a guy has to ser recto y salvajemente atraído por las mujeres.
Cualquier otra cosa le hace menos hombre y, por tanto, disminuye su valor en la sociedad.
What about the practice of telling little boys to “endurecerse” and to “ser hombre” or that they “llora como una niña”? Well, there you have it: examples of toxic masculinity right from the start.
Básicamente, toxic masculinity teaches men that it’s not okay to have feelings. Sounds bizarre, I know, but if you look around you, it’s exactly what’s going on.
¿Qué importancia tiene?
First of all, this kind of rhetoric doesn’t turn boys into strong men. Actually, it does the opposite.
It turns them into human beings who are too weak to display their own feelings. It teaches them that repressing emotions is the only socially acceptable way to be a man and that they have to deal with their vulnerabilities the best way they can – by themselves, of course.
¿Cuál es el resultado? Hombres inseguros, propensos a desarrollar problemas de adicción, a convertirse en maltratadores o a acabar sufriendo depresión.
But the troubles don’t end there.
La masculinidad tóxica fomenta el sexismo también. ¿Qué significa el término “boys will be boys” ¿Te lo digo?
That they will get away with inappropriate behavior just because it’s in their nature? That it’s okay to peek into a girls’ locker room or pinch their butts because it’s “what boys do”?
Lo que hizo Tom Holland
¿Lo entiendes ahora? ¿Entiendes lo que hizo Tom Holland cuando habló valientemente de sus emociones y no tuvo miedo de llorar?
La joven estrella envió un poderoso mensaje: que la masculinidad tóxica es historia.
¿Tienes idea de cuántos niños de todo el mundo están literalmente obsesionados con Spiderman? ¿Qué pasará cuando vean a su actor favorito llorar en el escenario?
That’s right – they’ll understand it’s just a part of being human. They’ll perceive it as something completely normal – which it is.
¡Buen trabajo, Tom Holland! Realmente has hecho pedazos la masculinidad tóxica.
