Jesus fucking christ. Yeah, women are never called out for their emotions or behavior.... Idiots.

Do they really think "toxic masculinity" means "all masculinity is toxic?"

Or are they pretending that's the case to shut down any conversation about it?

That's the real question.

These sorts of men get their entire concept of "feminism" (and probably everything else) from strawman Russian bots on Facebook. If they ever actually sat down with a bell hooks book, or something, they'd be in for a big surprise. But who are we kidding? They don't read books.

both commenters are wrong and off base.

toxic masculinity refers to aggression and power dynamics that he will enforce. this will be inflicted on women and younger males alike, perpetuating the cycle by causing the younger to adopt similar behaviors. fragile masculinity is being afraid of doing the opposite and being a decent person. i can think of a few good men. i can think of hundreds more bad, toxic, or fragile men.

women are called out constantly, true or false, on toxic behaviors. what planet does #2 live on again? 'damned if you do, damned if you dont' is a phrase that comes to mind of women of all experiences and how we handle them.

UGH they're SO stupid and have no self-awareness!! Fucking wake up and look around at the world, deadshits. They're just so obsessed with themselves, it's pathetic.

Men literally are to blame for the majority of both genders issues. Goodbye

Are they fucking stupid? No matter how many times we explain what toxic masculinity means they never understand.

TOXIC MASCULINITY REFERS TO MEN THINKING THEY HAVE TO EMOTIONLESS VIOLENT SHELLS OF HUMAN BEINGS AND SHUN EVERYTHING STEREOTYPICALLY FEMININE IN ORDER TO BE REAL MEN.

This is objectively a real thing that occurs. How tf can they still say "oh the damn feminists making stuff up again"
