Toxic masculinity is real but feminism is not the answer.

"Toxic masculinity" is like "Smart asian". Yes, of course it exists, but using that particular term heavily implies that you think one causes the other.

Most examples I've seen of "Toxic masculinity" have their origin in a distinct lack of healthy masculine rolemodels in childhood. For example, there is a strong correlation between fatherlessness and things like violence, crime, bullying, or obsession with casual sex.

These people have a bad idea of 'masculine' behaviour not because of some inherent flaw in masculinity, but because there was no healthy masculine rolemodel to show them the way.

A more accurate term might therefore be "Underdeveloped masculinity", but you won't hear feminists using that term because it implies that masculinity can be a good thing.

Removed for the "man hating cunts" bit. The word "retarded" is generally not great to use anymore, either. Happy to reapprove the post of you'd like to edit it.

I also recommend a few paragraph breaks.
