I've heard that toxic masculinity is more rampant in the USMC compared to other service branches. Is this true or not? I'm curious if this is indeed true or just an exaggeration.

I haven't encountered or witnessed one myself. But if I have to base it on the stories I've heard, it's just probably an exaggeration. Well, for sure toxic masculinity is there but probably not to that extent.

I have not had that much interaction with Marines. This being said remember that everyone is different and every branch has different requirements and mentalities.
