I fail to see how masculinity has come to be seen as “toxic” anyone care to explain?

Ok and I don’t think a majority of people condone that kind of behavior. @SW-User

@JohnTaylor it depends on where you live . Region plays a huge role in biases

@SW-User Pretty much, i think all the politics around it is what's made it a controversial phrase recently. People misusing it to refer to masculinity in general.

@JohnTaylor really lol

@JovialPlutonian unfortunately, that happens when any catchphrase is heavily marketed. ugh.. if I had a nickel now for every time I heard someone use this term flippantly and utterly out of context thinking it makes them ‘sound smart’/modern

@SW-User Ironically the only time I've been told real mean don't cry was from a female feminist. 🤷‍♀️

@canusernamebemyusername It tends to be radical feminists who equate the phrase with masculinity in general. It's mostly their fault this has happened.

@Ryannnnnn Yeah they were rad all right. I think looking at the world through ideas warps a person's vision though. Cause I had another friend that was feminist in the real sense of the word but everything was filtered though gender to her. Like when she looked at something the first thing she thought of was how it applied to gender. Nice girl but a bit obsessed and or brainwashed:(

@canusernamebemyusername Yeah i've noticed that about people as well.
Same for people who are about racial equality and always mention my race to me, it's almost paradoxical lol.

@Ryannnnnn Don't think of the pink elephant. Makes you think of pink elephants. Lol
