Article claims joker's problems caused by toxic masculinity

Easy to misread if you're a feminist I guess. The film does not, I think, try to point to any one gender as the cause of Arthur's suffering. The main enemy seems to be general callousness and lack of empathy, especially from rich to poor. Thomas Wayne isn't an asshole because he's a man, it's because he belittles poor people. It's bad when he punches Arthur, but also come on, Arthur went up to his house and touched his kid's face and was very threatening. You might say the rich kids harassing the women was misogyny, but they also attacked Arthur, it seems they were just looking for easy targets. As for the gang of kids, in poor communities boys form gangs because of rejection from those around them, while women in the same situation are protected and supported, and violence is how some young boys try to find power because they have none otherwise. It's bad but it's a common result of poverty and disenfranchisement. His female therapist was shown to be completely uncaring about his mental health, just there for a paycheck. And his mother, whild vague on whether she was personally violent, clearly had no issue exposing him to a string of abusive men.

It's a film that doesn't excuse people from being abusers based on sex. It's critiquing a widevariety of forms of abuse.

I say this a lot:

When something good happens its 'society' that did it.

When something bad happens, its the men of society who did it. Women are blameless.

Gender studies logic: Think any characteristics which is associated with men, add toxic word to it, start advertising.

If you're a feminist, what isn't caused by toxic masculinity?

Yeah all the women in his life were ready to be super welcoming, nurturing, and understanding, unlike the men, right?

"Toxic masculinity" is the latest feminist obsession now for feminists to blame on anything they dislike.

I've read the article and it can be basically summarised in one sentence- "Men are bad, it's bad to be male".

Religious group claims all world's problems caused by their version of sin/Satan/lack of prayer.

His problems were caused by poverty and a head injury.

If we want to dig really deep, greed by wealthy men has caused poverty, and it was his mother's ex bf who gave him the head injury.

Since men built almost all the institutions of the world and even more of the physical infrastructure, it's easy to blame them for everything.
