No, ‘toxic masculinity’ does not exist

The term toxic masculinity is indeed abused and used as a shaming tactic, however, I think it can be useful in certain contexts.

Toxic masculinity is the buzzword form of a Taylor Swift song singing about some asshole ex she will never ever ever ever get back together with. It's a term used by women angry at the asshole exes whose toxic masculinity they were attracted to and want to quit dating but never acknowledging their part in the relationship. They feel a sense of self empowerment using this term to demonize men the same way they feel when they are singing along to songs by female songwriters complaining about vain manipulative assholes. It makes them feel strong until they end up dating the next asshole and going through the cycle again.

Come on. Yes, it certainly does. Xbox Live, anyone? If that's not enough, try spending a few years in the armed services. Don't be stupid.
