ARAGORN vs. Toxic Masculinity

Aragorn is a king among men. Like, literally. Can you think of a manlier man? But he’s also kind, affectionate, humble. If you’ve been on the internet ever, you’ve probably heard the term “toxic masculinity“ (and the arguments that inevitably ensue). Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker talks about what this term means, and how Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings is the embodiment of non-toxic masculinity. Support us!
