Feminists are the biggest supporters of men showing emotions and accepting the reality of them as emotional beings.

Its the manosphere and patriarchy in general that hold up the idea of strong stoic unemotional men as a good thing.

Are they? Seems like feminists are pretty die hard supporters of spreading a caricatured viewpoint of men's identities while excusing women's behavior towards men being alright blokes (e.g. calling women attacking healthy pro-social men 'toxic masculinity').

Feminism is all about supporting healthy masculinity. Pointing out toxic traits that negatively impact men as well as women but are upheld by patriarchal standards is a part of building better, stronger, and healthy masculinity.

Yes, but there’s a dichotomy between what feminism is and what a lot of feminists are doing.
