Reposting here....

I am a 36M and I have come across a fair share of toxic women in relationships, work and other aspects of life. Even though I knew something was wrong with these women I just often labeled them in my head as rude, weird, or just nasty.

I've never given it a name but I think the term "Toxic Femininity" is starting to make sense. I never had clear examples of it but I've talked to a few friends irl and we sort of made a small list. I wonder what other types of traits do you all see.

I want to consolidate various toxic behaviors displayed by women so I can recognize them as red flags.

(Men do exhibit these attitudes as well but not nearly to the same degree.)

here we go....

1. Abusing society's understanding and compassion to spread false rumors about someone. (Amber Heard?)
2. Suppressing stand-outs because you feel threatened (Mean Girls Behavior)
3. Being excessively needy. Expecting too much.
4. Creating drama so you can be the victim of it
5. Personal attack on someone who criticizes you
6. Wanting others held to a standard that you are exempting yourself from
7. Justifying violence towards men because women are the weaker sex. #BelieveAllWomen
8. Manipulating men in relationships with guilt and crying
9. Use chivalry to get free things
10. Using child custody to get monetary support (financial rape)
11. Using any chance to get attention. ex: Girls who post selfies on twitter threads popular with men with nothing real to say. (Nude bombing threads)

Any man I know well has experienced at least a few of these. If you got any examples I'd like to hear them.
