| 0 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Wow, now this is a bad take. I could sit here and explain in detail the myriad ways women helped fight for and earn our countries freedom, some of which were integral based on their roles in society at the time and could not have been accomplished by men. I could also explain how some of those actions were far more devastating to the British at the time than any average man with a gun in the colonial forces. I could break down how your argument doesn’t even make any sense in the historical conte… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 11:00 PM |
| 0 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?How else do you think we get equal rights? They have to be fought for and won on the political stage, same as any other. Unless you feel the only other option is through force, in which case you’re no advocate. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 10:12 PM |
| 0 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Yes. Online harassment, which is a common example/talking point of “toxic masculinity”. That’s one of the key issues people bring up when discussing this issue. Also calling you arrogant was by definition not an Ad Hominem. If I said something like “You’re being stupid and arrogant so I can safely disregard all your points.” THAT would be an Ad Hominem. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 09:54 PM |
| 0 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?That haughty tone and arrogance won’t help you my dude. But if it’s actual research and sources you want here you go: “Women, on the other hand, are more likely than men to report having been sexually harassed online (16% vs. 5%) or stalked (13% vs. 9%). Young women are particularly likely to have experienced sexual harassment online. Fully 33% of women under 35 say they have been sexually harassed online, while 11% of men under 35 say the same.” Sources and references linked in the article: htt… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 09:27 PM |

| 1 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s cowardly historical revisionism. If you want to act like a child I’ll break things down for you like I would a child. 1.) The Married Women’s Property Act of 1848 was one of the first major pushes in the country to re-establish some of the independence women had prior to marriage. Before this act when a woman was married it was common for the control over past/future property to be under the husbands discretion. This law allowed women to regain some indepe… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 08:31 PM |
| 0 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?I’m not saying you have to keep anything in, just don’t be a shithead and focus on building bridges to strengthen mens rights. Like it or not, politics is largely a popularity game. You could have some of the best political/societal ideals out there, but if you present yourself as some unhinged person online you’re not going to make much progress. You don’t have to like or agree with most of the opposition, but you’re a fool if you don’t find Allie’s where you can and push to make a well thought… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 08:09 PM |
| 1 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?You’re too lost in the sauce my dude, men in this country have always had more rights than women, that is just a fact. It’s only now that we’re getting closer to actual equality, sure there have been some missteps and power grabs from reactionary feminists, but for the most part we’re both working out the kinks and striving towards better results for both sex’s. People like you make our presentation and optics look bad on the world stage. All people see when they see your comment is some derange… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 04:28 PM |
| 1 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Yes there is, and we should seek to separate it from masculinity so people don’t think anyone fighting for rights is a whiny little incel who hates women. Calling out shitty men and holding ourselves to a higher standard is what all men should strive for. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 04:24 PM |
| -1 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?The one where we find rational solutions to problems, where we cut out the shitty dudes to make our complaints more valid when presenting our ideas to the world. If you all want to sit in an echo chamber and bitch about women all day, instead of actually making any progress towards mens equality, well that makes you no better than the third wave feminists you hate. | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 04:23 PM |
| 0 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?I am not a male feminist. I just see that there are valid complaints on both sides of those pushing for equal rights. You know I always brushed off feminist complaints about MRA having a sizable portion of incels, but these replies are starting to make me doubt doing that. There is nothing wrong with wanting your fellow men to be better, the fact some of you can’t even acknowledge that some stuff generally accepted as “boys being boys” is actually a problem, that’s pretty telling. Any normal guy… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 04:21 PM |
| -8 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?You cannot be serious. One of the most significant portions of our population only got the right to vote 100 years ago. For a while after that they were still basically treated like property or fully dependent on their husbands to sustain a living, spousal abuse wasn’t even fully illegal in the country until a short time ago. What is that if not various forms and degrees of oppression? If someone removed your right to vote tomorrow would you really not tell me you were being oppressed? This is w… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 08:34 AM |
| -3 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Sorry one more reply to better emphasize my point. I do think it’s good to acknowledge and call out “Toxic masculinity” I think that actually strengthens masculinity as a whole and preserves the good tenets of it. Some people hear that and get scared that “Being a man” is under attack, but that’s never been the case. The only ones under attack are asshole men, that’s it. Trim the dead branches so the whole tree grows strong. I also have an issue with some hypocrisy that goes into this discourse,… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 05:02 AM |
| 1 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Hmmm I think we might agree with more than just the last part, but we might just be talking past a few points a bit. I do think Stoicism is a good philosophical trait to pursue, but it’s not the only good one for men and it can be learned/applied incorrectly. “Competitiveness is natural in men. Some men can be more competitive than others. Being competitive is a good thing. How do you think the best athletes, entrepreneurs, businessmen, etc would’ve became the best without being competitive? We … | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 04:52 AM |
| -15 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Nah bro, see it’s stuff like this that sets us back. It’s ignorant to claim men as a whole haven’t enjoyed more than our fair share through the course of human/western civilization. Women do have a point with the toxic masculinity thing, in that we do still have holdovers from more “toxic” time periods(I.e. 1950’s USA and prior) that have affects on life today. Whether that be laws that were passed and still on the books, certain states going after women’s rights now, certain states pushing weir… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 03:23 AM |
| -4 | Can someone please explain what "Toxic Masculinity" is?Being masculine isn’t toxic itself, but certain traits pushed by certain types of peoples/cultures can be. Examples: 1.) A dad telling his son something like “Stop crying, stop being a pussy.” - This is encouraging men to hide their emotions, and casting the action as “girly” (a simple “negative” trait for a child to understand). 2.) Overly arrogant - Some men are pushed and encouraged by others to be overly competitive growing up, and sometimes that can manifest as harassment against women as t… | /r/MensRights | 17/05/22 03:01 AM |
