Recently, I've been getting spam suggestions (by fb) to join some fb group created by rejected, obese, single feminazis. It was pretty much reinventing the wheel, regurgitating shit from "niceguys" subreddit.
That's not the point I wanted to talk about though. One of the "focuses" of the group's posts that caught my eye was "toxic masculinity", which I wanted to get more information about. Search engines led me to the wikipedia article about it. Not the most unbiased, but easier to read than the other written by feminazis.
Toxic Masculinity - The term made to attack men into feminizing themselves further. Just another ad hominem fallacy created by a baseless and useless "gender studies" major.
According to the article, "toxic masculinity" consists of:
- Dominance
- Devaluation of women
- Self-reliance
- Suppression of emotions
What really stood out to me the most was Self-Reliance. What is wrong with self-reliance? Do I need to burn dollars and risk sub-par work on things I can do myself, to avoid being labeled as "toxic"? Gender studies has to be the most useless 'major', if I can even call it that, creating terms based on logical fallacies. Resorting to name calling because of their jealousy leaking out because other people have motivation to do things themselves. There exists a well known phrase "If you want a thing done well, do it yourself" for a reason.
Suppression of Emotions, nothing brings your guard down and makes you look weak than expressing your emotion like a female would. Of course everyone can use negative emotions and turn it into something productive. No, this literally labels someone who doesn't express emotions as toxic. Not sure if I get the logic here correctly. Using logical reasoning, I can quickly determine that someone who uses their friends as toilets to shit their emotions out is the toxic person. I wonder which gender spectrum this applies to?
"Devaluation" of women Everyone is a person. I don't believe that I need to date a woman that doesn't meet certain requirements just because she wants to. Talking to buddies and claiming a woman's been around town (and being honest) isn't devaluation, if it's true, the it's true, if some kid is into that, have a go at it, not my cup of pudding. Everybody gets 'devalued' at one point in their life, it's hilarious how it makes women the victims. Get a grip and move on. What is victimizing yourself going to do? Get on your feet and walk.
Dominance. Whether this is a multi-million dollar company, a simple relationship, or a group of friends hangin out having a beer, you cannot avoid a dominant one. According to this term, dominance qualifies you as a toxic male. Oh wait, what if it's a woman? She's "tough", so tough that they're too scared say "no". It's one sided, jealous, incompetent females or feminized men blabbering their mouths off when they are just being hypocrites. Now if this was one sided, I wouldn't have an issue. Idk how this shit is even in Wikipedia.
Other claimed traits:
- Primacy of work
- Desire to win
- Pursuit of social status
Primacy of Work - I'll just be a stay at home daddy, teaching kids that it's ok to not have a father in life, just a mommy-daddy mix with a hyphenated or inherited last name of their mommy's... and a STRONG TUFF WOMYN with a resting bitchface. No thanks, this is why you got 5 year olds with hair died white or blue with skrillex haircuts. OR, I'll drop out, or not use my degree and start living on welfare, so I don't get called "toxic", not care about work at all.
Desire to Win - No, I will have a desire to lose. In fact, I'll help others win by catering their needs while sabotaging my own lifestyle. One has to learn that in the end all you have is yourself. Putting yourself first is where you find less depression, more success. Just ask any rich, successful person if they attained their wealth by losing. While I'm at it, I'll have a free garage sale, give away everything, become homeless.
Pursuit of Social Status - Getting a highschool diploma, college degree and/or certification in a technical skill is a social status. Becoming an whitecollar employee, or a manager, that's a social status. Apparently everyone that has it well in life is considered a toxic male. Now if women have these traits, they are considered "valuable", wonder how much time they waste shaving facial hair in the morning. I'm going to just not pursuit any status, become a dumpster diver in order to survive.
and yes, the traits were taken directly from the articles.
Not going to go further into detail as it's pretty much self explainatory. The complete contradictory "side-effects":
depression, stress, body image problems, substance abuse, and poor social functioning
Turn each of these words into its antonyms, being considered "toxic", I find I experience the exact opposite of these effects. It was most likely the feminist writing the Wikipedia article that was experiencing those side effects, just her mind was leaking out.
