Ashton Kutcher thinks 'toxic masculinity' is why he does not feel as badly when his son cries.

“I don’t know if it equates to being a girl dad or it equates to her being my first, but when I had my daughter... I had never been so in love in my entire life,” the celeb, who married wife Mila Kunis in 2015, began. “Mila and I talked about it a lot. Like, I’ve never loved anyone this much. Ever.”

The That ‘70s Show alum then confessed how he does not always treat each of his kids equally.

“I’ll tell you, I parent them differently. My son, I’m always like, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.’ Like, yesterday we were popping wheelies on a bicycle in the driveway, right? Or it’s like, ‘See if you can jump down four stairs,’” he explained.

“My daughter, I just want to protect her,” Kutcher spilled. “When my son cries, I’m like, ‘All right, what did we learn? Let’s go, let’s move on.’ But when my daughter cries, my heart is out of my body, and I can’t put it back in.”
