Thoughts on "Toxic Masculinity"

Women have no more business lecturing men on how to be properly masculine than men have telling women that they need to be what men deem as properly feminine.

Moreover, ask her what she thinks "healthy masculinity" looks like and then listen as she describes femininity.

It would make sense that if many women are attracted to X behavior, males seeking to reproduce would tend to exhibit X behavior for a chance to mate.

You know the 'women are attracted to bad boys' stereotype has some truth to it. That is the nature of stereotypes. Of course not all women are the same and their tastes vary, but the point stands.

I am not trying to flip it and place all blame at the feet of women, but I think understanding all sides of an issue helps if you truly want to fix it.

Nonsense. "toxic" is a propaganda term. To see this, just replace it with "naughty" in any given sentence.

When a feminist uses the term "toxic masculinity" they're describing the opposite of "healthy masculinity." They don't think all masculinity is toxic, but they think the majority of male and female problems can be attributed to the toxic portion of masculinity.

This is just the excuse they use in public, an attempt to justify their behaviour and avoid being recognised as the misandrists they really are. But every now and then the mask slips, and we get this:

"Toxic masculinity makes it sound like there is some other kind", writes feminist journalist & academic, in a rare moment of honesty.

I'd like to see more of response B than response A. Hopefully that makes sense.

Their ideas only have as much currency as you accept from them. So, don't give them the power of language, don't repeat their trite slogans or come up with slightly different versions of the same.

Feminists are radioactive, you limit your exposure to them to avoid being sickened.
