I don't think I've ever met a woman who wanted a man who was possessive and controlling in the literal sense. A man can have a spine and be assertive without being a selfish jerk who walks over everyone else just because he can. Toxic masculinity usually refers to men who are emotionally and psychologically unhealthy.

I think it is bullshit, and I am really tired of women just shitting on men, over and over, for everything!! What about toxic femininity?

Tbh with you I’m not a feminist or anything like that. On contrary to many females I love men but I was wondering if Toxic Masculinity is a real thing cause I don’t even see anything wrong with it

@melisserian I respect women, and think they are AT LEAST equals (probably better than most guys!) but so many 'feminists' just trash on men (not you) just because it seems like it is OK to just hate on men now!

I think you don't understand toxic masculinity. It is when society tells men to bottle up their emotions or act a certain way to be "manly." It is one of the biggest reasons of male suicide since men weren't allowed to cry or express themselves. Feminists don't like toxic masculinity because men should be able to act however they want without being judged (as long as it's morally and legally fine, of course.) Toxic feminity exists as well, but feminism shouldn't only be about women's rights. We must acknowledge that men experience problems too.

43% of boys are raised by single Mothers
78% of teachers are female
So close to 50% of boys have 100% feminine influence at home and 80% feminine influence at school.

Toxic masculinity isn't the problem; lack of masculinity is.

Toxic masculinity exists, just not as much as some think. No toxic masculinity is not good. Masculinity though is good.

Some beliefs of toxic masculinity is that:

-interactions between men and women always has to be competitive and not cooperative.

-men can never truly understand women and that men and women can never just be friends.

-That REAL men need to be strong and that showing emotion is a sign of weakness... unless it’s anger, that is considered okay.

-The idea that men can never be victims of abuse and talking about it is shameful.

-The idea that REAL men always want sex and are ready for it at any time.

-The idea that violence is the answer to everything and that REAL men solve their problems through violence.

-The idea that men could never be single parents and that men shouldn’t be very interactive in their children’s learning and development and that men should always be the dominant one in the relationship or else he’s a “Cuck.”

-The idea that any interest in a range of things that are strictly considered feminine would be an emasculation of a guy.
