Remember: women are the drivers of toxic gender roles — never let anyone tell you otherwise.

See I want to be a romance novelist but I really want to avoid toxicity in the male characters.

I find that the ones who say things like “toxic masculinity” are the same ones sexually attracted to stereotypical masculine men.

Feminists who victim-blame men for their troubles and say that the patriarchy is responsible for social pressure about fulfilling traditional male gender role are simply lying and gaslighting us. Accusing men for enforcing so called toxic masculinity is total nonsense, especially when we consider strong influence that women have in culture and mass media (where data shows significant over representation of women).

The same with family, when mother have stronger influence on children but this topic is much longer, we can talk also about schools and many other spaces where female social dominance is clear...

It's really like things have gone hopeless.

I pray that reality remains reality but the way people are trying to transform the internet into reality... Chaos... Thank goodness you can still go outside and have a good time in some places.

Rules for thee and not for me.

toxic gender roles

Not sure what you are trying to say here but having roles does not make them toxic. It's what mad mankind succeed.

Now I’m a romance fan (female here), but I don’t like suggestive covers at all XD Plus Feminists just like to blame their problems on men. There’s no such thing as “toxic masculinity”. There are men who are toxic. But of course not all men. We could say the same thing about women there’s no “toxic femininity” just feminists. (Or toxic females)

Ugh i hate those types of books/movies, to either gender. It’s so pointless and makes it all seem so plastic and fake.

I love romance novels, never read any of those though.

DISCLAIMER: THIS meme is ANTI- gender roles. It is not here to validate you traditional conservatives in your gender role obsession.

The doctor has strange abs! Rest have good builds. Something to aim for... or we can just make them all fat men to make it easier for us XD

ZS_1171 · 2022-02-12T14:57:06+00:00

Is it all/most women?

ZS_1171 · 2022-02-12T14:59:14+00:00

Is this anti feminist or anti women?

Sagittarius_AAAAA · 2022-02-12T16:30:14+00:00

I don't disagree with gender roles but, it's abusive to exect everyone to fit in to it. Feminists are abusive, they bully men that don't fit in to traditional gender roles and then complain about how women shouldn't have to follow traditional gender roles.

up to this day I boycott Gillette for that misandrist commercial ... never have I seen a more men-hating advertisement than that commercial on TV

Gender roles are toxic? Which are you talking about?? Most men want to be with a woman who will support their masculine nature, and be in touch with her feminine nature.

Beatplayer · 2022-02-11T19:29:47+00:00

I think what I love about this, is that the example of masculinity that you’re holding out to be positive, is from the Gillette advert that was so hated by men at the time :)

I love that you’ve come round to it!

MidnightSleepBattler · 2022-02-11T23:37:33+00:00

I write in this genre...a lot of those authors are men using pen names. ;)

xarexen · 2022-02-12T05:49:05+00:00

Those titles aren't examples of toxic masculinity...

They're mostly examples of objectication of men: Obviously most of those eponynomous 'titles' are inhuman labels... mostly in sentences that make him passive. Notice how they emphasise his physicality, and litererally dehumanise the men by drawing the viewer's eyes away from the face, some times LITERALLY cropping the face from the image.

The term objectify gets a lot of abuse, but this is actually a great example of it.
