Do you believe toxic femininity is real and dangerous?

[SolitarySolace]

I came across this article from the Coalition to End Domestic Violence called “Women Reveal Toxic Femininity is Real and Dangerous.”
👉 endtodv. org/pr/women-reveal-toxic-femininity-is-real-and-dangerous

It talks about how “toxic femininity” can show up through emotional manipulation, victim-playing, gossip, or weaponizing empathy — basically, behaviors that hurt both men and women. The article says toxicity isn’t gendered, but that these patterns are often ignored when women do them.

So I’m curious — do you think toxic femininity is real and dangerous? Or is it just an overused buzzword?

Yes, it is very real and very dangerous

No, it is not real therefore it can’t be dangerous. But toxic masculinity is

It is very real and very dangerous. This is embodied more often than not in a woman who has a borderline personality disorder, which is a very chaotic and uncomfortable condition for both the woman and anyone around her, particularly a man. Dangerous behavior by women is not unusual and it is often ignored by police, the courts and everyone else who is supposed to keep order in our society. Women get a break and a pass but the people that give them the breaker the past are not doing them. Any favor since the women also don't get any treatment or care for their condition.

It’s real and it’s dangerous. Anyone who suggests otherwise is an idiot or a liar.

Its real for sure, better question is how many people act like that

More than you would like to believe

People having rights? You talk like half the population is a potential vice like gambling.

I've had my fair share of social anxiety but resentment for existing is a bridge too far.

Yes, but it isn't within an ocean of toxic masculinity.

It exists same as masculine toxicity
