[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can see why you are concerned. Would it be possible for your son's contribution to the seminar to ask questions to flesh out the opinions being offered? It's so hard not to get defensive and feel defeated in these conversations, especially when people throw around ill-defined terms and snap judgments. However, when you drill down on what they are really saying, discussions become more substantive and less combative.

How do you define toxic masculinity? What specific examples of these behaviors have you observed in your life? This can be informative for your son.

You don't think that men should be heads of companies? Why? Do you believe this because you want to correct historical wrongs or because of characteristics that you think all men possess? Why would you ban all men?

Do any women who head companies possess these same characteristics you identified as toxic?

What behaviors in males do you see as positive and supportive of women and not toxic masculinity?

Your son could offer his own experience of a time when he felt pushed toward some gender norm that he wasn't comfortable with.
