You have the right to call femininity toxic too. And you can call feminist misandrist. And they can call you a misogynist.

That's how rights work.

Not because muscuilinity is toxic in their opinions, but because its a man.

Because when a women ACT musculine they gonna call her strong and independent but when a man does it its toxic, so the problem is their hatred against men, not against musculinity itself.

And I would like to correct that its feminists who say that not women, many women are disgusted by feminism

we dont have the right. i have no respect for women who judge all men just because theyre men. it's excessively immature and an insane double standard.

The great thing is that they actually don’t. You get to decide for yourself what masculinity is to you. They typically definite it in ways that benefit them.

Because they have 0 empathy
The mother nature allow them to protect family though

The first Amendment. They have the right to criticize us, and we have the right to criticize them. And they have the right to criticize our criticism; that's how rights work.

You can criticize their criticism of your criticism, too; you don't lose a right just because someone calls you names for it. This is the lesson of Donald Trump.

Because one gender kills the other en masse, women's behaviour rarely affects men, men's behaviour is a matter of life and death in some circumstances. So women don't care if you're concerned about golddiggers or liars because they have far bigger problems to worry about, and statistically so do you.

You are misunderstanding what toxic masculinity means. It is not saying masculinity itself is toxic, nor is it saying all men are bad. It refers to specific harmful expectations placed on men like suppressing emotions, glorifying aggression, treating vulnerability as weakness, or believing dominance defines manhood. Those ideas harm men too.

And women are not sitting in secret meetings deciding masculinity for men. Society as a whole including men themselves, media, families, and culture shapes these standards. In fact, a lot of criticism of toxic masculinity also comes from men who are tired of being told they must always be emotionless, aggressive, or alpha.

Also, “No womb, no opinion” is usually said in the context of laws and policies directly affecting women’s reproductive rights. It is not the same as casually discussing social behavior or relationship dynamics. Men also constantly comment on what makes a “good woman,” what femininity should look like, how women should dress, act, date, or behave. That happens everywhere too.

The problem is not discussing gender expectations. The problem starts when discussion turns into hostility and generalizations. You can talk about double standards without acting like women criticizing harmful behavior is somehow oppression against men.

The term "toxic masculinity" is specifically referring to social pressures and ideas of how men should be and act that are harmful to men and result in things like misogyny, aggression, emotional suppression, and violence.

The idea isn't asserting that men or masculinity are toxic.
