Humans are created according to their respective genders. A person's personality and behavior should not be limited by gender, but an inherent patriarchal culture that requires men to meet certain criteria already exists in society. Toxic masculinity that occurs in men can add pressure and burden to emotional instability because it tends to be difficult to control emotions. Women basically also have an important role in society, especially in terms of gender equality, where nowadays women need various factors to support gender equality. This study wants to see whether toxic masculinity has an effect on productivity and depression rates in Indonesia and wants to know how efforts are being made to reduce toxic masculinity in society. With the systematic literature review method, it is hoped that it can answer questions and provide views regarding the role of women in fighting for gender equality.
