Do women contribute to toxic masculinity?

[Anonymous]

Obviously men do, but do women not validate many toxic mentalities and behaviors?

[muscularbumblebee]

I think definitely some do yes. Not trying to call out but it seems to be a trend for some girls to say
‘You’re only a real man if.. ‘ that usually being wanting some perfect guys with a career and six pack and good looks when the girl doesn’t have their own sh*t together either. I mean it goes both ways but seems to be a trend for women wanting the perfect guy. Or some women saying I won’t date a guy unless he’s above 6’5 tall when the girl is only 5 foot. I get it’s a preference but how does that make other men feel? Stuff like that

Yes they do. I'm also doing. Not necessary that women always don't care.

Definitely. Women are influenced by gender roles and expectations as well and project them on men and themselves. You have to be aware and unlearn these roles to be part of a change. Some women haven't done this or don't want this.

No. Men choose to lack self control of their behavior. Blaming their behavior on women is a cop-out. Toxic men should man up and take responsibility for their own behavior.

Society is growing so quick that it’s not so simple to pin point who or what is causing certain or all, trends and situations to be at one source of accountability.

If men allow a woman to contribute to his toxic masculinity, he is to be blamed

[Subarugirl]

Did these men not have mother who raised them?

[Hangry06]

@Subarugirl Yes

[Subarugirl]

Toxic masculinity is an issue that affects and is contributed to by both sexes

[Anonymous]

Yes they do, vise versa

[lottiebannotie]

Yes they do without a doubt

What do you mean?

[Asker]

Do many women in society have gendered expectations and judgements of men as well.

Men hold eachother to toxic standards, are there women who do as well?

[Desconhecida]

I thought you were asking if women contributed to toxic masculinity because most of them usually accepted it.

[HeartBreaker007]

Nope
