What does toxic femininity look like?

Gossiping/catty behavior, and this includes women who claim to “hate drama” and “only hang out with guys because women are catty” yet still manage to create drama wherever they go
The overly-confident dumb girl Instagram persona. You know the one. She will make loud clips of herself doing the “you’re a queen babe, don’t settle, go get you a man, get those free drinks at the club” blah blah blah. These are smart women who act dumb on social media because that’s the “in” thing right now.
Emotional immaturity. If a man admits he lost attraction to his girlfriend because she gained a ton of weight, saying things like “oh babe he’s an asshole your weight doesn’t matter yeet him into the sun.” Or encouraging other women to engage in unhealthy coping mechanisms like eating garbage food because they’re sad.
Pick-me behavior. This type of woman will become “best friends” with a man, and whenever that man gets a girlfriend, she’ll “claim her territory” in subtle ways. If the girlfriend becomes frustrated as a result, the toxic female will accuse the girlfriend of being “insecure” and say disingenuous things like “oh honey I don’t want your man trust me.”
Using men for emotional support and enabling of poor behavior. I believe RomaArmy was a culprit of this (correct me if I’m wrong). She had a male best friend who was basically raising her daughter with her, and she kept going on and on about how he was such a great father figure to her child. Which is ultimately a lose-lose for the man because no woman will take him seriously knowing he’s in a coparenting relationship with a platonic female friend over a child that’s not even his. But she didn’t care about his well-being. She only cared that he was 100% devoted to her child with no chance of having his own life.
The aggressive anti-feminist who sides with redpill men on every topic and never calls men out on their BS, thus validating even the most ridiculous arguments. “Well my boyfriend got me a worm-infested hot dog from the shady gas station for my birthday and I loved it so if your girlfriend wants anything special for her birthday she’s just being high-maintenance and you can do better!” You know, those types.

1 fem toxic trait I'd say is simply "selfishness", leads to very bad ends for both sexes. Extreme Self Centered women are more likely to cheat & not take accountability for mistakes present or past & change.

I think of femininity as giving strength to those around us.

I would therefore say hurting others is a severe lack of femininity. I would describe hyperfemininity as hurting ourselves in the attempt to give to those around us. I think both of these can be toxic.

Severely lacking femininity would result in gossiping about others, insulting them, criticizing them, competing with them, exploiting them, etc.

Hyperfemininity would result in not being able to voice one's own opinion, not being able to set boundaries, not being able to care for oneself, etc.

To give a short anecdote, sometimes I find myself so busy with the kids that I realize I've barely eaten anything all day as I'm making dinner. I think this is a type of toxic femininity, one that results from too much sacrifice and devotion.

This is an interesting question. And I might answer it more in depth later. I hesitate to answer because honestly.... I don't care for most women. What I would say would be... very harsh. So I don't know if they are toxic.... Or if I am just very judgemental. Probably a bit of both.
