This article is really missing the point of simping. The issue isn't just a matter of "being nice to girls" and it has nothing to do with toxic masculinity. It's when that "niceness" becomes hopeless and obsessive.

Though I guess it's possible that dipshit teenagers are just using it incorrectly, but if that's the case, education is important. We gotta teach these kids who it's okay to make fun of.
I agree with this to some degree, but the way it's often used here is an example of toxic masculinity. Boys (and some girls) use insults like this as a blanket statement, and in doing so, it gets weaponized towards even those who don't deserve it, and genuinely just want to be a decent person. It creates an atmosphere where boys aren't allowed to act out of kindness without criticism, no matter how small that act might be.
