I think it can also be as simple as avoiding the might makes right in favor of might for right.
Or basically Great Power Great Responsibility.

If objectifying women is a trait of Toxic Masculinity. Is horny posting also a complimentary trait?
Can't say. Honestly it wouldn't be bad I suppose to admire women if boundaries are respected.
Sounds like I'm stating the obvious, but much like racism or bigotry in general, I feel the problem and over-correcting stems from many other people who act like:
A. Being apathetic to victims of sexual harassment or rape.
B. They are apathetic (Meaning you shouldn't involve yourself), but will stick up for a sexual predators or in the case of 2016, allowing one the White House.
And it's not just about White Knighting either. Just as toxic masculinity can harm men too (We even have that thread announcing that a man beat his 2 year old son cause he seemed gay), but so does victim blaming.
Saying that a woman shouldn't be too sexy cause her attacker couldn't help it would suggest that no man can control such urges. People insist that it's a rape victim lashing out that hurts our rep, but how about guys who dismiss the self control of plenty of men just to defend the worst example of man?
