There's no equivalent antonym to "toxic masculinity"(?) Feminists have attempted to cut that off by defining the term through the feminist lense. Whether "toxic masculinity" or "toxic femininity" it all comes back to women as the victims.

In fact the 1st link attempts to negate common-sense by stating the term is often misused as an antonym to T-M. Bull-crap.
By controlling language, feminists seem to aim to eliminate the possibility of (legitimate) whataboutism through similar terminology to not even allow for the possibility of identifying perpetration of toxic behaviors by women (see 1984 or the Bush Jr presidency for comparable manipulation of language)
I'm redefining it for myself in a manner I think is fair & appropriate..and how it's seemingly used by brothers & sisters in the MR/egalitarian movements & simply won't acknowledge their warped definition as legit - as while their concept does imo deserve definition - it should be called something else.
"Toxic femininity" is the antonym of "toxic masculinity" to me, the latter of which is a stupid term anyway as many of the behaviors described within "toxic masculinity" are also practiced by women (tho typically under-acknowledged), however since the unfortunate term is out there in popular use, the opposite needs to be examined. Hopefully one day both gendered-terms can be eliminated and we can just discuss toxic behaviors, period.
Here are some behaviors I would associate with Toxic Femininity:
-Pushing the belief that we should simply & unquestionably believe women over men
-Harmful gossip about others
-The belief that "women are not/can't be perpetrators"
-Violence against men and believing that it's OK because "men are stronger"
-Emotional abuse & manipulation
-Expecting others to just know what they want and need without actually communicating it
-Woman's only spaces & segregation from man regardless of the nature of the man. Segregation simply because a person was born with a penis
-False allegations to harm others they simply disagree with
-Participation in "cancellation" and other forms of social harm without due process for the alleged perpetrator
-Making judgments based on feelings alone with no regard for fairness
-Denying the possibility of victimhood of men and boys. Denying social services for male victims of violence and sexual assault
-Down-playing or denying sexual assault & violence by women
-Social media over-use & distortion through self-image manipulation, forcing one's children to pose in unnatural circumstances for social media photos, etc.
-The expectation that personal comfort is more important than the rules of law with regard to equality, and attempts to destroy whomever challenges that comfort/status-quo through discrimination.
What am I missing? I'd like to define "toxic femininity" as completely as possible without resorting to charging it up w/hate speech against anyone, just keeping it real.
