BowserCuffs posted... ...today I learned that when some people see the phrase "toxic masculinity", they're actually thinking it's saying "all masculinity is toxic", as opposed to "a certain subset of behaviors attributed to masculinity that is harmful". That explains a lot of reactions I've seen which previously confused me, such as denial of such a thing existing (even though it's blatantly obvious that it exists). Unfortunately this misunderstanding has quite the potential to be harmful, too. some people don't misunderstand what it means but still deny it exists because it's impossible for them to imagine that any behaviors attributed to masculinity can be harmful. What is positive masculinity is my question though. Like what specific traits are positive masculinity? Because isnt positive masculinity something that means its primarily (or even exclusively) male? Thus disbarring women from being able to obtain it? Thus sexist? I think it's supposed to be Chivalry. --- There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover,God himself,be your hope.
