In other words: If you’re always against women, that’s toxic masculinity. If you’re against men, and CAN compete against other males. That’s real masculinity.
A true male is meant to combat other males. Not females. A real man understands to protect and provide for the female of his kind. No real male , desirable male I've ever met, has complained about female sexually and female nature at all.

I think the meme is pretty accurate. "Toxic masculinity" is the opposite of what feminism thinks it is. What's wrong with men today is a lack of masculinity thanks to missing role models and the culture attacking men while worshiping pussy. Not even worshiping women, just pussy.
I think you could say the same thing about femininity as well. Feminism is the polar opposite of femininity. Women grow up without positive role models and so we have the current state where women think feminine = being a slut or a raging bitch.
It's a bullshit term invented by feminists to shame any male behaviors they don't like or that make it harder for them to get away with being whores. Some of the more woke man-haters think all masculinity is toxic. In truth, it is modern feminism that is far more toxic than anything men do.

Toxic masculinity comes from misandric feminists. Feminists always talk about how men are mysoginistic, while there are more and more misandric women out there that are just frustrated and love hating on anything that is male. Modern society destroys masculinity and leaves confused boys behind that then grow up as men that don`t really know how they should handle themselves. Every time a feminist talks about equality, they only talk about what could be done better for women, but have you ever heard a feminist talk about equality and then say something positive about men? Yeah, me neither.
Calling something "toxic masculinity" is just a backhanded way to insult men as a group. It is all just referring to the same thing, personalities with low agreeability causing trouble for everyone else.
There are equal numbers of women, if not more, that share this problem. Women are some of the most agreesive and passively agressive antagonists you'll see. We just never take blame for anything.
I think "toxic masculinity" existed for good reasons, because the world was tough. But what do these people propose as an alternative male role model, exactly? Being vulnerable. For a large part, it's just a feminist propaganda, especially when so many of them are just misandrists who hate or despise men. On their side, it's more like" oh poor women who suffer so much"'. And what they propose for men is shallow.
I think the future of men of the West, especially for young men of the lowest classes, is bleak, so men need to be tougher, stronger, and I doubt those who despise "toxic masculinity" have such a role model. It's a necessity, because "Tough times create strong men..."
Yes. Toxic masculinty comes from the fake tough guys who think acting like a jerk and a bully is masculine because they have 0 clue what masculinity is.
Men who just act like their natural masculine self is not toxic.
you can forget about "masculinity" when vast majority of men cannot adequately provide for their families. If all men were so masculine, most women wouldn't have to work
No, it doesn’t. The term “toxic masculinity” has no absolutely zero objective ground. It is merely a shame tactic used by modern feminists. The instant you flip the script, and apply something of similar nature to women, you will deemed a “sexist.”
I define it as a man who uses masculinity as a crutch and uses it to look down on others. I look at it like white supremacy--where one thing gives you dominion over everyone else... Even though being white is nothing special in terms of... Anything.
feminists and male feminists exhibit more toxic masculinity than the men they claim to have toxic masculinity
easily yes. same as toxic femininity is also a thing?
Yes because people make it that way, but the actual form of toxic masculinity doesn't, masculinity is masculinity but people can make it toxic
Yes... It's just a way of highlighting an extreme that is harmful. Anything can be seen as toxic if extremely harmful enough.
No.
Masculinity is NOT toxic.
Some people are toxic not masculinity.
No. Its an ideal
Like atheism and flat earthism, it isn't based on any facts, just strong opinions.
no it doesn't. toxic behavior patterns that are more likely to be displayed by men exist. but framing masculinity as toxic is itself a toxic act.
Yes, and the ones who deny it always prove that they don't even understand what it means to begin with.
Toxic masculinity is definitely a problem. Just look at Andrew Tate and role models like him.
Yes, toxic masculinity is a label for exaggerated and socially unproductive displays of violence, status seeking, anti-sociability, and other forms of aggression.
No such thing as toxic masculinity or feminity, it's all about the person, it's either they are toxic or not...
No. It is nothing but the demonization of natural male behavior by associating negative behavior to masculinity despite it being non-gendered in reality.
toxic masculinity is basically lack of empathy towards self and others to appear more "powerful" or whatever
