Boris Johnson: Putin a very good example of ‘toxic masculinity’

BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson considers the behavior of the Russian President Wladimir Putin for a good example of toxic masculinity, i.e. a role model based on callousness, hardness and also aggressiveness. “If Putin were a woman, I just don’t think he would have started such a macho war,” Johnson said in a ZDF interview on Tuesday, according to the broadcaster’s translation. “If you want a very good example of toxic masculinity, he’s got that in front of us.”/nif/DP/men
