@revenant Though part of it I think it's a bit more insidious than just that.
In my opinion it's the targeting of traits that are largely gender specific is an effort to enforce the ideology that men and women are identical in ALL aspects and that gender is nothing more than a social construct.
So displaying those traits has been branded as being toxic.
For many years now this has been something almost exclusively targeted towards men, but now it appears femininity has also been dragged into the 'debate', though I am not sure if this is because of concerted efforts to devalue the traditional roles of women, or if it's a reactionary stance where it's thought if men can be toxic then surely woman can be too.
