I think more men are aware of the existence of toxic masculinity than before and many of them are trying to get out from under it. A lot of young men still are unsure of how to fit into the world, though, which is how the alt-right snaps them up with easy "answers" to complex problems.

I definitely see a lot more women fighting against traditional gender roles than men. They're killing it, it's really great to see.

Much of my exposure to younger adults is through my work. It definitely attracts more progressive candidates, although nothing like fields such as social work, psychology, etc., so take all of this with a grain of salt. I do work fairly frequently with more traditionally "macho" workers like the trades, and they're starting to reject toxic masculinity simply because it's bad for business.
