The much-anticipated trailer of Marvel’s L'Uomo Ragno è finalmente uscito. Mentre la maggior parte di noi mortali ha dovuto guardarlo su YouTube, alcuni fortunati fan hanno avuto la possibilità di partecipare a un evento speciale in cui hanno potuto vedere il trailer insieme al cast.
So, what’s the big buzz surrounding that? Well, the way Tom Holland, who plays the titular character, smashed toxic masculinity once and for all!

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?
Lo spero proprio. E lo stesso vale per Tom Holland.
Tuttavia, non è la prima volta che la giovane star parla pubblicamente dei suoi sentimenti. Recentemente ha rilasciato un'intervista alla rivista Total Film, in cui ha rivelato che il franchise cinematografico lo ha aiutato molto con la fiducia in se stesso.
“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.”
Un uomo può essere più duro di così? Voglio dire, non ha problemi a parlare pubblicamente delle sue insicurezze e non ha problemi a piangere davanti a un pubblico.

Che cos'è la mascolinità tossica?
But just in case, let’s revise our knowledge about mascolinità tossica. 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 “uomo vero,” a guy has to essere dritti e attratto dalle donne.
Qualsiasi altra cosa lo rende meno uomo e, quindi, diminuisce il suo valore nella società.
What about the practice of telling little boys to “rafforzarsi” and to “uomo in piedi” or that they “piangere come una bambina”? Well, there you have it: examples of toxic masculinity right from the start.
In pratica, 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.
Perché è importante?
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.
Cosa ne consegue? Uomini insicuri che probabilmente svilupperanno problemi di dipendenza, diventeranno violenti o finiranno per soffrire di depressione.
But the troubles don’t end there.
La mascolinità tossica promuove il sessismo anche. Cosa significa il termine “boys will be boys” dirvi?
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”?
Cosa ha fatto Tom Holland
Lo capite ora? Capite cosa ha fatto Tom Holland quando ha parlato con coraggio delle sue emozioni e non ha avuto paura di piangere?
La giovane star ha lanciato un messaggio potente: la mascolinità tossica è storia.
Avete idea di quanti ragazzi in tutto il mondo siano letteralmente ossessionati da Spider-Man? Cosa succederà quando vedranno il loro attore preferito piangere sul palco?
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.
Quindi, ottimo lavoro, Tom Holland! Hai davvero fatto a pezzi la mascolinità tossica.
