I was thinking about posting a very similar thread. It's a classic emotional manipulation technique:

- Talk to me, open up. Show your emotions, tell me how you feel. (e.g. men need to show their emotions to break free of "toxic masculinity"

- Scalds you when you are honest because they don't like what you say, and shames you for your thoughts/actions.

'You are not living up to our toxic cultural expectations of manhood' that's what calling someone a manbaby means, or an incel, or a mangina, or a virgin, or any of their man shaming words.

Imagine if the APA took it's own recommendations seriously, so in psychological practice they would try to treat men in a non toxic way - they would have to throw out their model of the aggressive man and the victim woman, that is a toxic cultural expectation of manhood that harms men.

Welcome to the great catch-22 of modern masculinity

Isn't calling men "man babies" insulting men? That whole ' don't bully others ' message seems to have gone over the authors head. By mocking and criticizing men, the author is bullying anyone who disagrees with the ad, and resorts to this tactic instead of listening to what men actually have to say. Maybe its time to look at 'manipulative femininity'.
