    Ultimately, Caesar’s toxic masculinity killed him.

    Why do you need to be so gender specific here? Woman (and kids) want to appear strong too, that is not a male-only thing. I would also argue that it is not something toxic, just a behavior many people show. I would even say most humans want to appear in a positive (and non-negative as well) way around their peers and change their behavior accordingly.

      what

      The argument was expressed in explicitly gendered terms - that Caesar, a man, should not be directed by the fears of his wife, a woman.

      well, that’s certainly one way to say “i have never read any actual historic accounts of what roman culture was like”
