Early Shawn has his toxic masculinity and I believe that this machismo was learned by Henry (having never told young Shawn he loved him because "they're men"). I believe that in the episode 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me, Oops He's Dead," when Shawn is poking fun at his father for his bathing and self-care, he is shocked that his role model of toxic manhood is a hypocrite.
