Yeah, that framing will definitely work...

Big_Fig_767 · 2025-08-01T09:23:40+00:00

I hate the term toxic masculinity, when problems face men the question is always "why are men doing that to themselves" but when problems face women the question is always "why is society doing that to women"

Yousaidyoudfighforme · 2025-08-01T08:55:18+00:00

🤣it’s crazy how they pretend women can’t be toxic. As if women weren’t people. But hey? A thousand bucks, I gladly take

karasis · 2025-08-01T08:48:46+00:00

There is no toxic masculinity crisis, since masculinity isn't toxic. You can't solve a problem if you can't even name it properly.

Also, I am sure they are just paying that money to their ''male feminist allies'' for them to repeat the same bs they were saying to poor children

alter_furz · 2025-08-01T10:26:57+00:00

i guess the same programme for women in mining and trash processing is coming?

Watch as the toxic hive of female nursery workers rallies around to make false accusations against the men, to protect "their" territory.

It's going to be worse than the cabals of female nurses ganging up on male nurses (that happens, ask any male nurse).

Our country is absolutely pathetic at the moment, an absolute dystopian hellhole.

vengarlof · 2025-08-01T11:26:40+00:00

Men offered £1000. To stop being terrible horrible people.

What a disgusting way to say that

aigars2 · 2025-08-01T09:47:19+00:00

That's so ridiculous that I'm considering they're laundering money.

fixingmedaybyday · 2025-08-01T14:45:46+00:00

I’ve got a horrible coworker who is just totally incompetent and screws up everything. He’s kind of a super passive jerk who seems to use weaponized incompetence to lay blame everywhere else but on his own mistakes.I think he’s just an idiot. The feminists on the team however have turned it into a gender issue claiming that is his toxic masculinity and that his long rambling rants is mansplaining. No ladies, he’s just an idiot and does this to everyone. Stop making everything a gender issue.

SarcasticallyCandour · 2025-08-01T11:42:14+00:00

Helping men can only be done if its to coubter how awful we are.

Also; like female only scholarships i dont agree with these bursaries based on sex. A black woman should not be excluded because they're a minority, a trans man should not be excluded.

Im against reservation based funding, it should be support for underrepresented demographics so in nusrries it would be everyone except able bodied, middle-class, white females getting a bursary. We could then still ask is it fair that those women are excluded.

johnnycarrotheid · 2025-08-01T12:31:30+00:00

Nurseries in the UK.

Bare minimum wages and managers, that are also women, bullying their "underlings" at every turn.

£1000 sign-on, which likely needs repaid if you quit in X amount of time, is a joke.

Would be paid better, without the drama, even working in retail 😂

ElisaSKy · 2025-08-01T17:15:01+00:00

They'll try anything except making society less toxic for men, and then wonder why even bribes won't get men to cooperate.

Former-Dragonfly2226 · 2025-08-01T16:52:11+00:00

It’s not worth it for the far higher risk of false allegations. One of those and the man would face likely firing and possible jail.

ComparisonClean7249 · 2025-08-01T21:38:21+00:00

Yeah I noticed they want guys in the lower levels though

pancakecel · 2025-08-01T22:05:01+00:00

I don't agree with the reasons but I do agree with the initiative. It's good for young children to have male role models and male caregivers

antifeminist3 · 2025-08-02T00:56:26+00:00

One of the comments of the article:

They just don’t get it, it’s by constantly attacking men and stating everything manly is toxic is the reason misogynistic behaviour happens. They have no male role models, drag queens yes, but no male role models--Scotty on the right

Nymanator · 2025-08-01T16:40:51+00:00

It's not a toxic masculinity crisis, it's a male caregiver persecution crisis.

jessi387 · 2025-08-01T16:16:45+00:00

This is what I was talking about in a post I made a while back about skepticism regarding men in primary teaching. I warned that they will be used “ as an arm of the feminist movement”

Sad_Following4035 · 2025-08-01T19:08:49+00:00

I don't think that will work bc if it's a white guy, he will see all the non native babies that are being born and that might worsen things.

True-Lychee · 2025-08-01T19:14:57+00:00

The comments on the article are disgusting. Practically all of them have decided that men are inherently predators and shouldn't be around children.

TheMetal0xide · 2025-08-02T00:05:58+00:00

Ah yes, gotta teach those toddlers to stop being so "toxic".

ComprehensivePipe448 · 2025-08-02T00:19:46+00:00

You lot should be happy with this next step forward is passing the violence against men and boys bill but also address at the same time what caused they to be such a small amount of men who work with children apart from societal expections wasn’t they a push from a certain unnamed group who claimed men who work with children are weird

antifeminist3 · 2025-08-02T19:07:52+00:00

In the early 50's, most teachers in the USA were men. They were the soldiers who got into the reeducation programs of the post-war period. The supposed height of 'toxic masculinity'--men who kill, were perfectly willing to be teachers.

This supposed toxic masculinity is caused by society vilifying men in connection with children. Feminists only talk about male sex abusers and ignore that surveys should 25-30% of victims state the abuser is female. Stop discriminating on the basis of gender with respect to awareness raising, feminists. This environment also facilitates false accusations:

The men that we interviewed were under extreme psychological stress--from false accusations
