I had an insight that I wanted to share.

You hear the phrase, "toxic masculinity" thrown around a lot. Here's a useful definition, thanks to geekfeminism's wiki:

socially-constructed attitudes that describe the masculine gender role as violent, unemotional, sexually aggressive, and so forth.

  • Physically violent
  • Unemotional
  • Sexually aggressive.

That sums it up pretty well.

Here's the thing: feminists got it wrong. "Toxic masculinity" is not a social construct. Rather, it's the uninhibited expression of base male biological urges: fighting, dominating, and fucking. "Toxic masculinity" isn't taught; it's within us. It's the animal inside every man. If another man mocks you publicly, and you can feel a desire to pound his face into the ground, that's your inner animal.

"Toxic masculinity" is just another way of referring to the Male Animal.

Without morality or higher-level thinking, what are males? Physically violent, competitive, and sexually aggressive.

Competitiveness can be harnessed in a useful way, but most of these traits we discourage because they're destructive; they're at odds with civilization and order.

What is conspicuously lacking from the discourse is any discussion of the Female Animal.

This is the void that TRP fills. Many words are spent here describing the female animal, and consensus seems to be that they are the Yin/Yang of the male animal traits:

  • Socially violent
  • Overly emotional
  • Sexually manipulative

When two boys fight on the playground, their goal is to subdue the other boy and win the altercation. When two girls fight on the playground, their goal is to make the other girl cry publicly. That is social violence. If you dump your girlfriend, and she spreads lies about you on Facebook, that is social violence. If a woman induces a man to fight another man, that's social violence.

To summarize: there is an animal within us all. We have cognition and higher-level thinking processes, but these are layered on top of the more base-level instincts we possess. Feminists and Progressives perpetuate a disgusting half-truth when they rant about the Male Animal, all the while pretending the Female Animal does not exist.

Misogyny? No, just fairness.
