"Toxic masculinity is a misnomer; 'false masculinity' is what should concern us"

I remember a study where women were given a small does of testosterone. The title of it is "Testosterone May Make Women Nicer".

They told certain women they were giving them testosterone but gave them a placebo instead. Then they told the others that they would get a placebo, but gave them testosterone intead.

The results were hilarious.

The women who were told they were given T acted all tough and macho, generally being asses to one another, and the other group were nicer and fairer.

This showed the disconnect between what women thought was male behaviour driven by T, and what was actually male behaviour driven by T.

There is no toxic masculinity, only a toxic attitude towards masculinity. A man can be toxic, yes, but masculinity has nothing to do with it

What about false femininity?
