Woman commits mass stabbing. No speculation as to whether it was toxic femininity.

According to society, when men commit acts of violence, men--as a gender--are at fault. When women commit acts of violence, that individual woman (or her husband, or her father, or her troubled past, or her troubled marriage, or her difficult life circumstances...) are at fault--the entire gender is not blamed for her act of violence

That's why it's not uncommon to hear "men are rapist" or "men start wars" or "men are mass murderers" etc. but not "women kill children" or "women abuse children" or "women hire hitmen to kill their husbands"

Of course not, femininity can't be toxic. This is obviously internalized misogyny.

What aspect of toxic femininity do you think this displays?

It's a testament to the terrible state of discrimination against men that any of us should be able find anything positive in a mother murdering her children.

But that's what we've come to. Because the social narrative holds that men are fundamentally violent and sexist. And women are saints and victims. So every exception which disproves this bigoted myth becomes a macabre celebration.
