Feminists should be banned from using the phrase “toxic masculinity” until they can succinctly and concisely explain what it is, providing traits, attributes and behaviors, and also provide a definition of ‘toxic femininity’
until then toxic masculinity should just be dog whistle for behaviors in men girls don’t like or understand.
No they aren’t. It is simply taking asocial or antisocial behaviors and assigning a gender to them. When in reality both sexes commit these behaviors.
These are antisocial human traits that feminists have propagandized add primarily belonging to men in order to gain some moral high ground.
Can you explain why you feel that way? Because these sources meet your requirements. They explain what it is, they provide traits, attributes, and behaviors, and even discuss the impacts of this on men and society as a whole. There is a wide range of courses here, from peer reviewed scientific papers, to opinion pieces, to more broad overviews with additional sources included.
So it sounds like you DIDN’T actually want an explanation, because no explanation will be good enough for you. You’ve already made up your mind about how you feel on the topic, and your post demanding more information and explanation was made in bad faith.
Every single article lists traditional masculine behavior risk taking aggression sexual virility as toxic traits. Just to name a few. Every single article makes the insinuation that males are simply defective females. The first assertion lying in the statement that there is no difference between male and female brains.
This is patently false for while there may not be perceptible differences in the brain structure, we see differences in children as young as 1. Boys are more interested in things like trucks and legos while girls are more interested in people symbolized by doll play.
This is just one example. The interest in toxic masculinity is in itself bad faith simply because no effort has been conducted to search out toxic femininity. It is all rooted in a desire to weed out undesirable male behavior and emasculate future generations
“
Every single article makes the insinuation that males are simply defective females.” That’s literally not true. You didn’t read every article and that sentence alone proves it.
And, no, the idea of “male” and “female” brains is….pretty controversial and the scientific reality is far more complex. The overlap between different brain structures between the sexes is vast, and whether some of the trends we see are all nature or nurture is also highly debated.
And again, this just proves that your entire post was in bath faith. You asked a question. You asked for an explanation. Those were given and you balked at them.
What source WOULD be good enough? What information WOULD sufficiently meet your desires? What could I provide that WOULD satisfy your question, if anything at all? Because if the answer is “nothing. I will reject every single source and explanation you offer” then you don’t want a discussion, you want a platform, and we’ll be done here.
This is a prime example of why it’s sometimes best not to engage people like OP. Nothing you tell them will be good enough for them because they don’t actually want to learn. -V
I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.
hey so Emily Carroll is my absolute favorite horror artist and her stories are some of the greatest things i’ve ever had the ghastly pleasure to read. many of her comics are free online, such as the classic His Face All Red
