Answer:

traditional masculine norms can led to harfmul effects on mental and physical health

Step-by-step explanation:

Many men advocate for traditional male roles and cultural practices like being violent, favoring work, needing to control emotionally, and pursuing social status which are often linked to strees, depression, and drug related dependence.

Some social behaviors are also affected, since health can be harmed by the traditional view on the males and the norms, psychologists then argue that masculinity will represent in terms of shorer lifes, deadly violence and other tragic diseases.
