I can use my car to go to work so that I may provide for my family. . .or I can use it to rob a bank & mow people down during my escape. I can use bleach to clean my clothes & kitchens/bathrooms. . .or I can use it to blind people by splashing it in their eyes. I can use a rifle to hunt wildlife to feed my family. . .or I can use it to hurt random, innocent people.

There is no such thing as a “good rifle” or a “bad rifle”, “good bleach” or “bad bleach”, a “good car” or a “bad car” <-> the car is simply a vehicle (or tool) that anyone can choose to use in any manner. Likewise: there is no such thing as “TOXIC MASCULINITY”. Masculinity (which is simply the inherently typical, average and/or standard qualities, features, behaviors, attributes & characteristics of males) is a tool with which individual men can use to do positive things or negative things. . .and throughout all of human history, the vast majority of men have happily & willingly used their “masculinity” for good.

Those who didn’t were (finger quotes) “bad people”. It had nothing to do with their “masculinity”. Conversely - There isn’t a single idea, trait, characteristic, mannerism, behavior or attribute that is common to the vast majority of human females that is labeled in any type of derogatory manner. A woman’s bad, even evil, behavior is always & only attributed to the individual who behaved in that manner; not womanhood, femininity, etc. Men deserve precisely the same respect. There is no such thing as “TOXIC MASCULINITY”.
